Dennis,
the wiki page pointed by Katrin said:
--begin
You must include
$(document).ready(function(){ multiple statements go here });
inside the preference, around your statements. Examples listed below are
considered statements.
--end
So, you are forgetting that function. Please try
$(document).ready(function(){ $(#memberentry_contact

It works.

Re: [Koha] Data Migration (Dennis Njuguna)
Thank you Sunil for that info, I have found the current one is holding info at tag 852 I have edited it using MARCEdit 8.5 and when I import I see there are items imported though when I go to the book itself to view it tells me that no physical items for this record what could I be doing wrong? On Thu, Oct 25, 2012 at 7:22 AM, Sunil Kumar sunil.ku...@ecoleglobal.comwrote: Dear Dennis, I believe you are missing MARC tag 952 series, 952 is the local tags which contain all the information about the holding. For example. 952$8$9$a$b$c$g$h$p$y $8 is for collection code $9 is for biblio number $a is for permanent location $b is for current location $c is for shelf location $g is for purchase price (you can include the vendor name, location and invoice details also here) $h is for volume details of the resources mainly it is used for the journal/magazine/periodicals $p is for the barcode $y is for the item type Once you have all the required information in 952 series you can convert the file into marc format and upload the same to koha, as the standard process.

If you want to go for a live CD, there are newer versions around. You are best starting at the www.koha-community.org site and finding things from there. There are also other installation methods available. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5957 6D23 8B16 EFAB FEF8 7175 14D3 6485 A99C EB6D ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha -- Dennis K.

The VM was imported from a ready-made koha appliance, downloaded from http://kylehall.info/ (Kyle M Hall). The VM koha was initially at v3.8, however the installation comes with a menu allowing for git updates, so it now is at v3.08.04.000. Everything more-or-less runs ok. The only thing missing is an easy way to back-up koha. The VM appliance doesn't come with a pre-installed GUI, one can be easily added from the command-line though. You might want to try it, and see how it feels. Mine is not an installation for heavy use, it does have a massive potential for upgrade if needed: simply copy/move the VM to a larger host and reconfigure the VM so that it uses more memory and CPU cores.

So please don't blame me for anything, if something goes wrong. If you are running under windows, you could look into installing VirtualBox (www.virtualbox.org). I generally set it to use a Bridged Adapter, use a wired connection, and make sure that the interface is setup to allow all. You could also consider a virtual appliance: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_Virtual_Appliances I use VirtualBox and Ubuntu. Though, this is not recommended for a production system. I believe I heard someone suggest on IRC that if we are going to recommend a perl for Windows it should be Strawberry Perl. You could then attempt to run Koha natively on Windows, but I can't stress enough that even if you do succeed (which would make you truly awesome), you are also alone. The majority of users are on Debian-based OSes (Debian, Ubuntu, etc.) and that is what we can support well. If you do attempt VirtualBox and Ubuntu, here are some links. Ubuntu can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server. Based on your host operating system, you need to decide 32 or 64 bit. Under Windows 7: Left click Start - Right click on Computer - Left click on Properties - read the 'System Type'. VirtualBox which can be downloaded from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads. If you have recovery CDs and/or backup, such that you can return the machine to its original state (with all the software installed that is currently installed), then perhaps you could attempt a dual boot. Though, I think you'll find that a single boot works so much easier. This would be more suitable for a production environment. If you succeed at getting a booted Debian or Ubuntu environment (either in VirtualBox or directly on the machine), then you probably want to look at the instructions found on Koha's wiki pages. It says Debian, but does generally apply to debian-based OSes (including Ubuntu). The instructions are at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_3.8_on_Debian_Squeeze. Of course, you may be in a networked, corporate environment. In which case, you need to consult with your network and system administrators before doing anything. My librarian colleague works in the office and he does not have permission to install a machine on the network. This means his virtual machines use two network adapters in Virtualbox (a combination of NAT and Host-Only) to simulate the equivalent of a bridged connection. Host Only will allow you to access the VM web server from your host machine, but you need NAT to give the VM internet access. I hope in this rambling there is something useful.
