Migrate all Koha data from old server to new server
by Greg Vickers 23 Sep '15

23 Sep '15

Hi all, We ae running Koha on a dodgy spare desktop that we scrounged up, now we have a nice shiny Dell server to run it on. What is the easiest method of transferring the data from the old server to the new server? (Using Koha 2.2.4 on both servers.) I'm guessing that all I have to do is install Koha on the new server (meet prerequisites etc) and move across the MySQL data to the new server. Am I missing something critical? Thanks, Greg

How much flexibility is there in the use of different label configurations with the new label function in KOHA? Thanks, Mark L.

Some migration issues
by Ata ur Rehman 14 Dec '12

14 Dec '12

Dear Koha Lovers / Koha Community I have installed Koha's new version (2.2.7) on Windows XP. My previous data is on an MS Access Database. I am in the process of migration data from MS Access by using MARCEdit. I have mapped my fields according to the MARC Format. Now I want to use my Accession Number as Barcode in Koha because that is the primary key for my bibliographic records. Is there any way to import all my accession numbers (I am mapping this on 001 field of MARC) into barcode field of items table of koha? Also I am trying to learn MARC from LOC website but unfortunately, 9xx fields are not available at loc, are these fields obsleted?

Adding MARC fields
by Amy Purvis 07 Apr '12

07 Apr '12

I want to add some different MARC fields that are not part of the default to 2.2.6. Is there a way to do this? I already know about the " + " sign to repeat fields that are part of the default new biblio record, but I want to know if there's a way, for example, to add an 050 field. Thanks for any responses! Amy

Google Summer of Koha
by Joshua M. Ferraro 05 Jul '11

05 Jul '11

Hi all, Just a heads up to the Koha community that LibLime was selected as a mentor for the Google Summer of Code program. We've got a few ideas defined already, but are certainly open to additional suggestions: http://wiki.liblime.com/doku.php?id=googlesummerofcodeideas So if you've got a neat koha-related project that's doable in a three month period by a student or group of students, let us know. And of course, if you happen to be a student, we'd love to have you involved. You can select from one of the ideas above, or come up with something completely new ... More info about the program and the application process is available at the Google Summer of Code site: http://code.google.com/soc The deadline is fast approaching so get those applications in. Cheers, -- Joshua Ferraro SUPPORT FOR OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE President, Technology migration, training, maintenance, support LibLime Featuring Koha Open-Source ILS jmf(a)liblime.com |Full Demos at http://liblime.com/koha |1(888)KohaILS

Arabic Translation of Koha
by Mohammed Gamal 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

Hello everyone, I've been recently working on translating Koha to Arabic, however I can across this article on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koha_(software) ) that says that Koha was already translated to Arabic. I didn't see any arabic PO files in the main Koha distribution though. So I just want to know if Koha was translated to Arabic or not, and if it was translated then where is the Arabic PO file.

by Anthony Manzo 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

Hi, I want to use the bulkmarcimport script to import records using a new biblio framework I created for my library's multimedia collection and not the default biblio framework I use for the rest of the collection. I don't see any way to specify this in the command. Is this possible to do?
