<div dir="ltr">Good Day Frederic,<br><br>Kindly tell me how do I disable the Authority? in Koha?<br><br>Right now, if we try to create a new Marc Record, start from empty record, and go to the tag that have to put a Author Personal Name for example, it GREYS the box, and ONLY a popup window can be used to search for an already existing authority??<br>
<br>Can you tell me how I disable this popup window and simply make Koha understand simple text rather than Authority??<br><br>I hope I am making sense.<br><br>Would you recommend that I re-install to keep with future changes?? Because it took me a long time to setup Koha, since I am a beginner and really worried that it would delay the project from going live even more.<br>
<br>Someone today in IRC mentioned that I am using the old version of idzebra when I should be using idzebra-2.0, so I think tomorrow morning my time i will try that..and keep you guys on the loop.<br><br>Please do remember me if you come across aything related to this, Thanks alot<br>

Your Koha installation is messed up for whatever reason. I recommend you reinstalling everything. The best installation documentation, and most up-to-date, is INSTALL.debian-lenny. I've seen on IRC that you customized your template. Avoid that if you don't know how to track your modifications with a code version control program like git. Otherwise, you won't be able to upgrade to Koha newer version, which is very important for a software like Koha.<br>
<br>
Another option is to disable completely authorities (in Framework), as suggested by Chris. Believe me, if your catalog is small, authority management is a nonsense. We have lot of small libraries using Koha without authorities for the sake of users!<br>
<br>
Hope it helps.<br><font color="#888888">
