Hi Guys,
Just installed 1.2-alpha over the weekend and am hoping to use it in our
(small) school library in Santa Cruz, Bolivia.
Took me a day and a half to get it going.
I recorded my (mis)steps in a HTML file that you may find interesting.
I installed on Suse 9.0.
Some questions:
1. Can we customize the book ID so that it starts from a certain
value? Say 200001 for books? If not, could we add a barcode
field to a book ID?
2. Can we customize the fields that are shown on the Item information
screen so that the book ID / barcode field would be visible?
3. How could I access the book information (e.g. author, title) of a
book ID from a MySQL client? I had a look in the emilda database
and couldn't see any info there so I'm guessing it's all in
Zebra. I'm thinking of writing a little Python app to generate
our barcodes and would need to get at the book info to print the
Title on the barcode.
Thanks for all your work.
We are really excited about the possibility of using Emilda and hope
that we can help out with it's development.
Yours,
Jerry.
