Up and running .. ready to put your catalog data in? Or up and running with some sample data .. (for this you can download the demo data and put that in). -- Chris Cormack Programmer 025 500 789 Katipo Communications Ltd chris@katipo.co.nz www.katipo.co.nz

How are you planning to get your data in. Do you have it marc format and wish to import it that way? Or were you planning to use the acquisitions module to load the data? If you want to import from marc you will need to check out the latest version from cvs. http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=16466 We are hoping/planning to get a version 1.2.0 out soon. I may do a 1.1.2 tarball tho, including some of the fixes that have happened since 1.1.1 (quite a lot of fixes in fact) But not including the new marc stuff. It depends how far up the pipeline a 1.2.0 release is .. Ill ask the other developers but I think we should be able to do a 1.2.0 tarball within a week.

Well, I was trying to use the acquisitions module. Don't have any MARC records to import (yet). :) I am going to use it for all these books UNCF donated us as a test before trying to move off our ANCIENT sco box for the main library. Does the CVS version have a config guide or menu for what to put into the SQL tables for preferences, etc for a new blank installation? Chris Cormack wrote:

A good plan :-)

Nope we a sorely lacking that. What you need in the systempreferences table to use the simple acquisitions module (which would be the one you want to do this). Is to insert into systempreferences (variable,value) values ('acquisitions','simple'); Then from the index page of the intranet page (eg http://hlt.katipo.co.nz/ clicking on acquisitions will take you to the simple acqui screen and you should be able to start loadin in data from there. Hope this helps Chris -- Chris Cormack Programmer 025 500 789 Katipo Communications Ltd chris@katipo.co.nz www.katipo.co.nz

Ahh the old branch printer thingy :-) Pop into the printer table something like insert into printer (printername,printqueue) values ('No Printer','nulllp'); And in the branch table try insert into branches (branchcode,branchname) values ('T','Test'); Chris -- Chris Cormack Programmer 025 500 789 Katipo Communications Ltd chris@katipo.co.nz www.katipo.co.nz

I leave in France,Marseille. I'm specialized in open-source technology (linux, mySQL, Interbase, Php, and a little perl too ;-)))) We have decided yesterday to use koha as our library-software (we have around 80 000 books, in 4 libraries : 50k+ 20k+ 5k+5k) Thats great news :-) The program is not translated to french, so it will be my first job to do the translation. You might want to talk to Adam Thick, and Adam Clarke who are working on implementing a system of templating for the interface of Koha. They are thinking of using HTML::Template I think. So you'll probably want to talk to them about that. My second job will be to add tools to administer parameters tables. We want to deploy koha only when we will have a MARC-compliant version, so I can give a hand to help testing/developping the 1.2 version. Cool. I've downloaded the CVS version from sourceforge, and try to understand what's new in this MARC version. I've succeded to run koha2marc tool (with a LOT of warnings...), and begin to understand a little how the DB is build. I've not understood how to create new biblios with the marc system, neither how to search a biblio. So I think I need some explanations... I would be happy to know too why I've no reactions after my message in "Pending Release of 1.2" thread (from Steve). Same question with my small bug + question message (Valentine's day message !!!) Yep, I think steve must be swamped with work at the moment. I dont know a huge amount about the MARC tools he has been working on. So ill see if I can prod him for a response :-) I hope this announce will make you happy and that we will do a good job alltogether.
