I'm a bit stumped as to how I'm going install this thing. I'm not/can't running a name server so I can't install it as a virual host. You folks have rooted all of your URL's (this means you start them all with a slash) so I can't install it as a virtual directory. The best I an come up with is to mix it in with my root web site (yech!). This may cause difficulties with index file names and may limit my ability to upgrade in the future. In the future, when you build a site, try to keep in mind that it may be installed anywhere, not necessarily in the web root. You should use relative addressing. Mark Bondurant mbondr@bongo.net PS. On your splash page it says: "Horowhuenua Library Trust Catalogue and Member Services". This implies that the library that the system is indexing is the Horowhuenua Library. If this is truely an open source system, open to use by every library, then it probably ought to say something like: "Open Source Catalogue and Member Services System/From The Horowhenua Library Trust".

Yep, work is in progress to move the whole system to a template system. Problems like you mention will be fixed as we do that. You dont have the option to do ip based virtual hosts?

Precisely because it is a GPL'd system you are welcome to change whatever you like. Including the splash page. Chris -- Chris Cormack Programmer 025 500 789 Katipo Communications Ltd chris@katipo.co.nz www.katipo.co.nz

No. I'm hoping to run it on my server at home. I just have the one IP address, although that does bring to mind that I might run it off another port. Hmmmmm . . . I'm not sure how to do it with this stupid Red Hat Apache interface. I think I'm going to just have to go back to editing httpd.conf by hand.

That is the way I run my test system at home .... using ports

The problem with making changes to the system is that they will be clobbered with the next update. Every change I make will have to be carefully logged and then merged with each update. With two kids, I just don't have the time. If it's just the spash page though . . . Mark Bondurant mbondr@bongo.net

A valid point. Thats the main reason we are working on getting Koha using axkit or another templating system. So that upates wont clobber the customisations that people have chosen for their system. Unfortunately that doesnt help you much at the present time :-( At the moment the only real way to customise look and feel is to edit the html files and images.

May be in the general system a more generic splash screen should be used. This may reduce some of the "possible" confusion for people. I would also have thought that it would be less likely to create any identity issues for "HLT".

Hi Mike Yeah I think this is a great idea. All submissions of a new more generic koha splash page will be greatfully accepted :-) Chris -- Chris Cormack Programmer 025 500 789 Katipo Communications Ltd chris@katipo.co.nz www.katipo.co.nz

Well I know what I'll be doing tonight ... If I create a new image for the splash screen (any anyone wants to do it ... I'll be happy, I am a engineer not a graphic designer, but I'll have a crack) can I post the image to the list or do you want me to post it to a website somewhere ??
Oh, I just saw your reply to Chris Cormack. I see you are aware of the problem. I guess I'll just have to figure this out myself. Mark Bondurant mbondr@bongo.net On Friday 01 March 2002 12:31 pm, Mark Bondurant wrote:
