[Koha] More installation log:

[Tonnesen Steve]

Some more issues (mostly resolved) that I have come up with in testing
Koha:


 ---
  1
 ---
In circ program: Error message when returning from ISSUES or RETURNS
scripts messed up the main menu.  Added a 'system("tput clear");' to
clear the screen before redrawing the main menu to fix this.


 ---
  2
 ---
Reading record only shows books currently signed out.

When viewing an item's record and clicking on the cardnumber beside
"On loan to", it always goes to borrower number 2.  Found problem.
Was always going to previous borrower, instead of current.  Changed
'borrower0' to 'borrower' in moredetail.pl, line 133.  Also had to
modify Search.pm so that $data->{'borrower'} was set to current
borrower.

When viewing items in the moredetail.pl script, the header at the top is
blank (just '()' where the title, author and dewey number should be) and
biblio/biblioitem info is missing in the box at left.  Found a fix for
this.  Changed "$data=bibitemdata($bi)" to "$data=bibdata($bi)" in
moredetail.pl.  Probably would have been better to find out what was wrong
with bibitemdata subroutine?

<!--#INCLUDE VIRTUAL="/includes/members-top.inc"-->

INCLUDE lines in htdocs files are not working for me.  I'm assuming
that I'm missing something in my apache configuration...  Yes.  Needed
to enable Server Side Includes.  Modifed apache config and added:

    Options +Includes
    AddHandler server-parsed .html

to VirtualHost sections for intranet and opac virtual hosts.  Note that
apache web site discourages using .html for parsed files in favour of
using .shtml.  But if all your flat text files for Koha are parsed it
doesn't make any difference.

I have also started to write a simpler interface for adding books to the
database.  Since I have schools that have no existing library automation
in place, all existing books will have to be entered by hand (hoping MARC
records will come in handy here if I can find a CD to borrow) and the
acquisitions module is giving me problems, and is more tedious than I
need.  My script asks for an ISBN, if a biblioitem already exists, it just
asks for the item info.  If a biblioitem does not exist, it asks for the
biblio info (title, author, copyright, etc.).  If there already appears to
be a biblio with this info it uses that and then asks the user to enter
the biblioitem info and item info.

Once the existing holdings are entered, they can revert to using the
standard acquisitions module, or just keep entering books using my simpler
script.
