barcode printing and catalogue homepage make-up
Dear list, there are two "utilities" that we would like to share. We use them internally but maybe someone else will find them useful. *1. Koha barcode to PDF* Generate PDF-s containing item barcodes. We use ordinary laser printer for printing labels on A4 paper. You can easily customize application for any paper and label format. Additionally, there is form for filtering records (by patron, callnumber, barcode) with few other parameters concerning paper saving issues :). Get it from: https://github.com/alenkovich/Koha-barcode-to-PDF *2. Book covers on catalogue homepage* Script generates html (full html page or just <table>) with recently acquired books for inclusion into your existing web pages. It uses Koha table "aqorders" for getting newest biblios. We run it from cron every few minutes to avoid possible unnecessary database load. Generated content is then shown on our Koha catalogue homepage and Library home. Get it from: https://github.com/alenkovich/Koha-recently-acquired-books We also have one "very ugly" perl script as an example for ISIS(unimarc) to Koha(marc21) conversion but I'll push the code on github as soon as I catch some spare time to clean it a little bit.

No problem :), let me know if it works for you... just have in mind that this initial setup requires that you add new books through acquisition module. Because, script fetches newest records sorted by aqorders.datereceived. Regards, alen -- Rudjer Boskovic Institute Library http://library.irb.hr On 01/17/2011 03:32 PM, Olugbenga Adara wrote:

Hi Alen I have been playing with this, and I like it, but I was going to make some changes. But I need to check with you what license is it under? You might want to add the license information to the repository, if it is gpl2 or later, then I might have a pull request for you shortly :) I was planning to make some changes to make it use C4::Context for its database handle (and config/preferences). Chris
Hello Chris, I'll attach gpl3 licence, but I have to check the proper way of doing it :).. I'm glad that you like it. Currently, I have separate config file because I wanted to have the ability to use it from remote machine. I welcome your planned changes :).
