In reply to: [WebLibrarian] error in database_code.phpNo, it is NOT ‘an unedited download from the wordpress Plugin Directory‘. At least not from the version I maintain. This some fork of the code. Compare to:
https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/weblibrarian/trunk/includes/database_code.php
The code you posted is NOT my code. Where did you get it?
Is there a readme.txt with this code? Are you totally sure you downloaded from the official WP plugin directory?

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] error in database_code.phpThis is NOT my code! ALL of the fields after ‘callnumber’ are not part of the base code.

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] CSV file import – "bad column" errorOh, it is important that the data values not excede field lengths or violate field type constraints.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [WebLibrarian] CSV file import – "bad column" errorIt is also important that the header line be coded in pure ASCII and not contain extra spaces. Eg ” Author” is not the same as “author”. This is potientally non-obvious to a non-techie and may not be noticable when looking at the Excel spreadsheet with Excel.

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] CSV file import – "bad column" errorExcel is notorious for creating ‘bad’ (non-standard) CSV files. Have the client look at the CSV file with a *plain text editor* (notepad will probably do).
Some of the things Excel does:
- add extra columns
- use unnecessary quotes (which can be confusing, since “” is not an empty string, but a quoted quote.)
- play games with newline characters
- not actually use commas (eg tabs instead).

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] WordPress member site and web librarianIt should be entirely possible for your members to login to your wordpress site and request to borrow books. Who is telling you that you can’t do this?

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] Librarian account cannot access dashboardI have no clue. cpsrvd is NOT the webserver, that is the cPanel service daemon.
The only thing I can think of is to diable *all* of the plugins on the production server, and see if things work. If it does, you can then enable each plugin one-by-one and see if that makes any difference.

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] Is this only for books?The only really ‘gotcha’ is that the collection data fields are geared towards books, just about all of which work just as well for other comparible works (eg ‘author’ maps to ‘musician’ (audio CDs) or ‘director’ (movies), ‘editor’ (Magazines), and so on). If the collection is tools or toys, the field names are a little odd: ‘Circular Saw’ by ‘Skill’ or ‘Star Wars Characters’ by ‘Lego’, but hardly a disaster (the front-end short codes can always be tweaked if desired).

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] Is this only for books?Hi – We’re looking for a plugin that will work for a circulation system, but nothing is out there, really. Can we add items that are not books?
Yes, you can add anything you like. DVDs, CDs, Toys, Tools, Magazines, etc.

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] Category PagesYou can also just add an actual keyword that is the category and then use the keyword field:
<a href="http://yoursite.com/library/?searchby=keyword&searchbox=CATEGORY&weblib_orderby=author&weblib_order=ASC">Category Title</a>And the example case would be:
<a href="http://yoursite.com/library/?searchby=keyword&searchbox=fiction&weblib_orderby=author&weblib_order=ASC">Fiction</a>The weblib_itemlist short code would then list all items with the selected keyword.

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] Getting Plug-In to FunctionWhat O/S is your web host running? What are you using for a webserver? What version of PHP? Apache? SQL? WordPress? What are you using for a web browser? Is there nothing on WP menu? You are on the back end (WP Dashboard for the Librarian account, right? Can you post a screen shot?
