Dear Friends 

 

Can anybody share information on the architecture of KOHA OPAC Interface for
example we would like to know the opac main page, scripting language used,
can we replace the  OPAC home page with our customized HTML/Javascript
developed interface. Also request you to share the path of the OPAC main
page in Koha.

You have a lot of options for customizing the OPAC without replacing
the home page altogether. My blog has several detailed articles on
some things you can do, including this overview:

Also please note that it's spelled Koha, not KOHA (it's not an acronym).

Dear Owen, 

Thanks for the support. 

But what we are planning to do is to completely customize the interface,
like changing the location of the search box, inserting new feature like
news clipping, contact, etc...

For that we are looking for the actual OPAC page where we can make some
modifications.

HELP!!!
To: cnighswon...@foundations.edu


 Hi All,

Before upgrading from Koha 2.2.9 on Windows Server 2003 to Koha 3, I set up
a virtual test server of Koha 3 on my Mac with this test install using
Zebra.

With Zebra enabled in my test environment, I found that when I added items
to the Bibliographic database, I had to wait a good ten minutes for Zebra to
reindex before that Bibliographic Record/Item Record would appear in the
OPAC, whereas with 'NoZebra' the Bibliographic Record/Item Record appears
immediately in the OPAC once you click 'add' in the Staff Client.

I like to know I have the functionality of when I add in an item to the
system, that it will instantly appear in the OPAC, and not have to wait ten
minutes for Zebra to reindex every time a record is added to the database.

My test environment was on a Intel Core 2 Duo machine with 4GB RAM. I hope
that sheds some further light on my choice of 'NoZebra'.

I'm hoping there is someone out there in the Koha Community whom is able to
help me past this problem I'm having.

Kindest Regards,
Joel

It should probably be pointed out that No Zebra code will probably be
removed at some point in the future. So along with the fact that it is
deprecated and unsupported, it is really a dead end road as well.

I should add that collections over 10k, we usually really recommend using
Zebra for indexing.

As a data point for you, I have run a functioning library with 8k or so
records with zebra on a P4 with 1G of RAM. So, zebra isn't *that* big of a
hog. You could do it on very modest hardware.

*Zebra?: *‘NoZebra’ set

Yes, I have edited a Bibliographic Frameworks (just adding a couple MARC

to do with the entry and use of barcodes.

Apart from the current problems with this error appearing upon
scanning/entering barcodes, the rest of our Koha installation is working as
per perfectly normal.

Our database contains approximately 13,600 Bibliographic records, and we
decided to not utilise Zebra, as our Koha server doesn’t have enough power
to be able to run both Koha and Zebra together.

I hope this helps in some form.

I hope your able to provide me with some insight on how to fix this problem.

Many thanks!

Joel,
Sorry to hear you're having trouble. I have a few questions, if you don't
mind.

What operating system are you running Koha on?
Which minor release of 3.4 (the last digit is important)?
Is this a new install or an upgraded install?
If it is an upgraded install, was the previous install running with the
zebra indexer or with the nozebra preference set?
If it's Zebra, have you done a full reindex?
(/home/koha/kohaclone/misc/migration-tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -v)
Do you get results when you search?
Are you using a translation?
Have you changed or edited your bibliographic frameworks?

The answers to these questions will help us figure out where to begin
suggesting fixes for you.

Thanks!

Re: [Koha] 3.4.3 on opensuse 11.4 SMS::Send Date::ICal problem (solved)

2011-08-31 Thread clint.deckard

The issue with the bug in Unicode::UCD has been solved.
I first tried the workaround (installing perl-doc where UnicodeData.txt 
was erroneously packaged instead of with perl itself) but this didn't 
work as perl-doc has very recently been 'fixed' so that UnicodeData.txt 
is back in the main perl package. Installing perl-doc now doesn't 
install UnicodeData.txt. The solution was to update perl itself which 
now, correctly, has UnicodeData.txt included.

Hi again,

Koha 3.4.3 on Opensuse 11.4.

the suggested solutions to my recent SMS::Send and Date::ICal issue with
the web installer did not work. I continued to receive the error.

I suspect the cause is elsewhere in my install. My lack of skill
restricts my trouble shooting ability.
Earlier, I had trouble installing Unicode::UCD or rather finding
UnicodeData.txt and in my efforts to rectify this I think I introduced
more problems by (blindly) installing a newer version of perl. so I did
a reinstall of opensuse 11.4 and started again.

This is where I think I went wrong.

Apparently there is a bug in Unicode::UCD where UnicodeData.txt is not
installed with Unicode::UCD but with perl-doc. I installed perl-doc with
yast but error remains.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678877

the bug has been fixed but to get the new version in Cpan I get this


cpan[1] install Unicode::UCD
Reading '/root/.cpan/Metadata'
Database was generated on Thu, 18 Aug 2011 14:31:11 GMT
Running install for module 'Unicode::UCD'
The most recent version 0.30 of the module Unicode::UCD
is part of the perl-5.13.9 distribution. To install that, you need to run
force install Unicode::UCD --or--
install J/JE/JESSE/perl-5.13.9.tar.gz
Running make test
Can't test without successful make
Running make install
Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
Failed during this command:
JESSE/perl-5.13.9.tar.gz : make NO isa perl


Last time I tried force install Unicode::UCD and was asked like fifty
questions, most I didn't understand. It did seem to solve this problem
but it appeared I ended up with two installs of perl that then caused
problems. I am way out of my depth.

Installing Koha on opensuse 11.4 is proving to be quite a mission.

What now?

Thank you,
Clint.

Re: [Koha] OPAC Interface Customisation (Owen Leonard)

 For that we are looking for the actual OPAC page where we can make
 some
 modifications. 

Well, the file that does this is 'opac-main.tt'. It's a
template::toolkit formatted file. The perl file that drives it is
opac-main.pl. 

However: if you make changes to these that you don't upstream, you are
seriously hurting your chances of having smooth future upgrades ever
again.

[Koha] Cataloguing Electronic resources

2011-08-31 Thread library
Kia ora koutou

I'm wondering how people are cataloguing websites and other electronic
resources so that they are able to be searched by collection codes. I have
trolled the net looking for discussions but have not found anything
pertinent yet. The nub of the problem is that if they don't have attached
items you cannot enter item types and ccodes, however I don't want to assign
barcodes. Are there hidden snags if you have items without barcodes? What
happens at stocktake when you have no actual item to stocktake? Is there a
better way to do this? I have used item types to assign borrower privileges
and ccodes as search points and I am just about to move from 3.2 to 3.4.

Naku noa

[Koha] Searching patron names

2011-08-31 Thread Moyra McAllister
 Hi and thanks for great help thus far. 
 
 We have discovered that searching for patrons with names such as 'VON 
TRAPP' or 'DEL GRECO' doesn't seem to work. 
 We can search on 'VON' or 'DEL' and that will bring up a list 
containing those names but we can't search for the whole surname, and 
a search for the TRAPP or GRECO finds nothing. 
 
 Is there a setting that I've missed? 
 
 Using Koha v.3.4.4 
 
 Thanks again

Just waiting for the time to fix the issues identified in there.

[Koha] Computer Management System and Koha

2011-08-31 Thread Melissa Parker
I was doing some research to try and see if there is any sort of computer
reservation/ computer management system module in the pipeline for koha.  If
there is not, is a module of this type even feasible to create for koha?

Thanks
