Colour preferences

Does New Zealand use color or colour?  :)

Since Chris slaughtered my colour settings for the circulation module, I
started thinking about some kind of system-wide colour preference
settings.  Something along the lines of:

headerbgcolor=black
headerfontcolor=white
tablebgcolor=#dddddd
tablefontcolor=black

tablerow1bgcolor=#bbbbbb
tablerow1fontcolor=black
tablerow2bgcolor=#aaaaaa
tablerow2fontcolor=black

tablebgimage=/.../whatever.gif

Of course none of this will help with the flat html files.  Recreating the
flat html files as scripts as well would fix this problem.

Input box focus

Chris:

Are the input boxes automatically getting the focus when a page loads?  I
added a little chunk of javascript to my circ-top.inc to give the focus to
the first input box on a page to make barcode scanner entry easier.  The
focusinput() function should probably check to make sure that
document.forms[0].elements[0] exists first to avoid any possible errors...

function focusinput() {
    document.forms[0].elements[0].select();
    document.forms[0].elements[0].focus();
    document.forms[0].elements[0].focus();
}

<body text="black" bgcolor="white" link="#0000ff" 
vlink="#0000ff" "3366cc" Alink="#cc3300"
marginheight=0 marginwidth=0 leftmargin=0 topmargin=0

Virtual bookshelves

Hello:

I'm toying with the idea of setting up some kind of virtual bookshelf. 
The idea is that a bookshelf can be created and named, and then books can
be searched for in the usual way and added to the bookshelf.  I'm hoping
to use this for things like printing out card and spine labels, changing
subject heading entries for a group of books en masse, withdrawing
discards, etc.

Anybody have any thoughts on this?

remoteprint() routine

Chris:

I don't believe that I have the remoteprint() call anywhere in my
circulation module.  I assume that's the one that prints the issues list?
I had to remove the "use" lines for any modules that required CDK, as I
wasn't installing it, so I couldn't use C4::Print.

Just so you know...

Yep, I think that would be the best solution

Yep thanks Steve

I added the code that you had posted for cat-top.inc a while back to
circ-top.inc and it works like a dream.
I think one branch of the Horowhenua library did a batch of its returns yesterday
afternoon with the web circulation module. Without a hitch.

includes in CVS

Chris:

Can I get you to throw the includes into CVS?  I created my own
circ-top.inc, and modified all the other includes in order to have the
circulation tab in the header at the top, and I'll bet you've done the
same thing.  :) 

Maybe putting all of the htdocs files in there would be a good idea?

Steve.

Notes on a RH7 install

I'm testing a Koha install on a fresh 'workstation' installation of RedHat 
7, including Perl 5.6.0.  I think I'm a fairly naive user, although I have 
a little bit of experience with Perl (enough for quick-and-dirty scripts, 
and enough to load CPAN modules).  Here's what I'm finding so far:

1. INSTALL should say whether or not mod_perl is needed.  I'm guessing 'no' 
because INSTALL says "It was built to work with Apache, but there is no 
reason it shouldnt work with any other webserver".  (Has anyone tried 
running it on Win32?  Perl, Apache, and MySQL are all available on Win32...)

2. Under INSTALL quick installation instructions item 4, "Edit 
C4/Database.pm" should read "Edit scripts/C4/Database.pm".  Similarly, all 
references to files within INSTALL should be relative to the directory in 
which INSTALL resides.

2a. If at all possible, variables like this which need to be set by the 
installer should either be in a central koha.conf file or defined near the 
top of the file containing them.  The installer should ideally not have to 
slog through Database.pm to find C4Connect.

3. The parts of scripts/C4/Database.pm needing to be modified by the 
installer should be commented more clearly -- by which I mean: easy to spot 
visually and also explicit in saying exactly which lines need to be modified.

4. In INSTALL, "Next copy the C4 directory (in scripts/) to somewhere in ur 
perl path" confuses me.  I know how to find out the value of $PATH in a 
shell, but I don't know what my perl path is.  (In fact, I'm stuck 
here.  Help, please.)

5. In INSTALL, in the list of other required software: "AuthenDBI (if you

I think you are right in much what you've noted here. A new INSTALL file would be a nice follow-up to what Steve
has just recently done to the brand new Circulation module. Unfortunately I was unable to test it because
cvs access at sourceforge doesn't work for anonymous users at koha project. I sent an e-mail to
sourceforge staff people, we'll see what happens.

There is also a confusion about *.pl files. the INSTALL file is not clear about subdirectories of  /scripts.
some of them are to be copied too, as I have discovered.

regards,

Benedict

Yep, i'll make an koha-html module for cvs and throw all the html files plus
images and includes in there.
Should be up on sourceforge shortly
