Re: [Koha-win32] Regarding a Windows installation of Koha

[Nehdia Sameen]

Hello,

Thanks to everyone for their help!

I reinstalled MySQL 4.1 to get the records to start showing up, and switched the theme to npl, which is a much slicker theme and has a much easier-to-follow interface layout. So now things are looking good, and I'm learning how to customize Koha.

By the way, if the Health Services Academy implements Koha, it will be the first implementation of it in Pakistan, though the renowned Ms. Atifa Rawan and others are already working on various Koha implementations in neighbouring Afghanistan, and I think India is using Koha in several libraries. The National Library of Pakistan and the Higher Education Commission are using Virtua by VTLS, but it's far too expensive for an autonomous department of the Ministry of Health here.

Personally I am really liking Koha, and hope that we can do a Koha rollout by January. I do want to see if a Koha extension for Joomla! is possible to develop -- there is already an OpenBiblio extension for Joomla!, but Koha is a much more fully-featured ILS than OpenBiblio. I look forward to hearing more from the members of this and other Koha mailing lists!

Best regards,
Nehdia Sameen

Dear Sameen,

Although I don't understand the reason for dispalying reservation
screen by you koha on windows installation, I can offer u a quick fix.
Log on as admin <koha/koha> and go to paramter setting option. Select
npl as theme for opac and default as theme for intranet/librarian. Now
search and see the result. Let me know whether it worked or not.

Your proposal is quite intereseting. We at Vidyasagar University has
developed a theme <mainly in the line of npl theme> which displays
text in Bengali.
