18:21 chris shouldnt need to no 18:22 oday do you a software by the name of xampp? 18:23 oday http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html 18:23 chris hmm 18:24 kados bbiab 18:24 oday i highly recommend your staff to integrate xampp with your software 18:24 oday its makes seems so much easier 18:25 oday when xampp install apache, mysql,php,openssl all in package 18:25 chris right 18:25 chris does it install perl? 18:26 oday here is the thing i realy dont know 18:26 chris :) 18:26 oday on the site it says 'With the new Apache 2.0.55, we build a new Perl-Addon for XAMPP 1.5.0 also.' 18:26 chris right 18:27 chris sounds like mod_perl 18:27 chris we dont really develop for windows, or have the skills to 18:27 chris but rob has ported koha to windows (he runs the koha on windows site) 18:28 chris it might be worth asking about xampp on the koha-win32 list 18:28 chris http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=16466 18:29 chris brb, gotta get coffee 18:30 oday how can add urself 18:30 oday i cant see it anywhere 18:32 oday found it nevermind 18:33 chris back 18:33 chris so its thanksgiving day today for you isnt it oday?

18:39 chris i think so 18:39 chris if you want to use the bulkmarcimport.pl script then yes it will be 20:37 oday kados, hey there..sory to bother, but is there a newbie guide to koha? 20:40 oday anyone care to share? 20:42 russ hi oday - you looking for an install and setup guide or a how to use it guide? 20:43 russ have you checked out www.kohadocs.org ? 20:46 oday yes i have went there already 20:46 oday but chris earlier showed me a newbie guide 20:48 russ and you need that link again? 20:49 russ something i find useful are the logs for this channel 20:51 oday yes please i need that link 20:52 russ ok 2 secs 20:52 russ i thought i made a link to logbot on this page http://www.koha.org/community/irc.html 20:53 russ but it obviously not 20:53 oday logbot 20:53 oday ahh 20:53 chris www.koha.org/irc/ will get you to the logs 20:54 chris the newbie guide is on the kohadocs.org site oday 20:55 oday thanks chris 20:55 oday i got it 20:55 oday and you to russ 20:58 oday one thing 20:58 oday does koha print when books are due for example 20:58 oday or a receipt in general? 20:59 rach I suspect the answer is "that depends" 21:00 oday elaborate please 21:01 rach there isn't a nice interface to setup what goes to the printer yet in Koha, so *I think* that the ones that we do will be printing out what books you've taken out, and when they are due - but I'm not sure wether that is what is generally printed 21:02 rach so for the libraries katipo works with, I can confidently say "yes", but I know that we probably go and do setup for those sorts of thing per library 21:02 rach so I'm not sure "out of the box" what you get 21:03 rach can you refine your question? 21:03 rach for whom are you wanting to know if koha prints when books are due? for the borrower at the issues desk? 21:04 rach for the librarian as an overdues list? 21:04 oday the first 21:04 oday for the person that checks out the book 21:04 rach how much tech clue can I assume you have? 21:06 oday well i am computer literate 21:06 rach Yes: the libraries that we (Katipo) work with have slip printers at the issues desk, and koha automatically prints out a slip for the borrower 21:07 rach BUT - what I don't know is wether that is a default setting in Koha when you install it - or wether you need to do something behind the scenes to get it going 21:08 rach so I'm sure that the scripts to do it are in Koha, but I believe there is a bit of sorting out print cues etc to make it happen, and it may be that you need to use a particular set of templates and other settings to make it work 21:09 rach so: functionatlity is in there, but may not be "obvious" if you're not able to look behind the scenes 21:11 rach OR it may just work for you if you set up your network printing properly 21:18 oday okay i am satisfied with the answer 21:18 oday when i get to install it then i can go to details like htis 21:18 oday *this 21:20 rach well yep - so it's a bit of a hard one to answer, I would think just a straight "yes" but just not quite sure 21:22 oday i would want to test it out by installing it on my site 21:22 oday but i dont know if godaddy.com has perl installed 21:26 oday ^godaddy.com is my host 05:23 paul hello world 05:32 rach hi paul 05:32 paul hello rachel. 05:33 paul (answering an RFP today) 05:33 rach very good 05:33 paul (for CNRS archeology network) 05:34 rach so a private library? 05:34 paul don't you know what is CNRS ? 05:35 paul it's the public research here in France 05:35 paul (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) 05:35 paul so not really private ;-) 05:35 rach ah very cool 05:36 paul (in France, you must know that except for some religious libraries, libraries are public 99%) 05:36 rach really - you must have corporate libraries as well though? 05:36 rach so companies who have their own library? 05:36 paul right. but we usually don't call that libraries. 05:36 rach ah a very good job to get that one then 05:36 paul we call that "centres de documentation" 05:37 rach ahh, a much more precise language :-) 05:37 rach English can be so lazy 05:39 rach that would be a great job to get
