Re: [Koha] How to copy patron permissions?
by BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER 22 Jan '24

Michael, I've had some jQuery in the Koha library for quite a while. You should take a look at https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/JQuery_Library#Add_clear_and_preset_pe… There are 3 versions of this for different versions of Koha, but this latest one includes a clear permissions button, a couple of preset permission buttons, and a copy permissions button. Please check it out. We also did a video tutorial on this enhancement in season one of The Terrific Every-Other-Thursday Training Videos. You can find that here: https://youtu.be/M6aQITCJY0U. ___________________________ Christopher Brannon IT Coordinator 702 E Front Ave Coeur d'Alene, ID 83814 (208)769-2315 Ext. 456 cbrannon(a)cdalibrary.org www.cdalibrary.org Keep tabs on us at: Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2022 10:39:58 +0200 From: Michael Kuhn <mik(a)adminkuhn.ch> To: Koha <koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz> Subject: [Koha] How to copy patron permissions?

I always thought this would happen when copying/duplicating an existing patron. But when I actually tried it today the permissions were not there with the new patron and I had to set them manually.

Analytical cataloguing causing a searching warning
by Aleisha Amohia 31 Mar '23

31 Mar '23

Hi Koha community! We're having some trouble with analytical cataloguing - linking host and child records. We have EasyAnalyticalRecords enabled, and UseControlNumber disabled. When we link the host item using the barcode, the detail page for the child item shows this warning above the title: "There was an error searching for analytic records, please see the logs for details." The Plack Intranet error log shows the following errors: [2022/02/15 13:59:09] [WARN] CCL parsing error (10014) Embedded truncation not supported ZOOM for query: Host-item=(BIBLIO_TITLE /) at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Search.pm line 241. [2022/02/15 13:59:09] [WARN] Warning from simple_search_compat: CCL parsing error (10014) Embedded truncation not supported ZOOM at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/catalogue/detail.pl line 152. I have tried also manually linking the host item by cataloguing directly into the 773 of the child item, the searching warning still shows. I have also tried enabling UseControlNumber and putting the 001 of the host record into 773$w of the child item, which has usually worked (the warning disappears), however this method does not work for us because the library doesn't usually fill in the 001. We'd rather keep UseControlNumber disabled. Is this a problem that other libraries have other seen? Have you been able to solve it while keeping EasyAnalyticalRecords enabled and UseControlNumber disabled? Would appreciate any help.

Patron search not working after upgrade to version 22
by Evan Stewart 06 Dec '22

06 Dec '22

Hello, I recently upgraded my Koka 21 to 22. Everything seemed to be working fine until I tried searching for patrons. Using the intranet portal to search for patrons provides zero results. I see my patrons in the borrowers table, but the GUI won't display them. It's like the search function sees no results. I upgraded to version 22.05.02, but the same problem still occurs. I'm using Raspberry Pi OS (Buster). I can add a new patron, but even the new patron does not show in the search results. Is there a way to refresh the indexer that handles patron searching? Any other suggestions? -Evan Stewart Africa's Hope, USA

Request for Libraries using Koha to participate in the 2021 Library Automation Perceptions survey
by Marshall Breeding 03 Nov '22

03 Nov '22

To all libraries using Koha: I'm collecting data for the 2021 edition of the International Library Automation Perceptions survey. This survey, conducted annually since 2007, provides an opportunity for libraries to register their perceptions of the strategic automation products they use, organizations that provide these products, and the quality of support delivered. The survey also probes at considerations for migrating to new systems and the level of interest in open source products. As open source software supported both by the general community and by a variety of different service organizations, some special considerations apply to Koha. In the libraries.org directory, Koha is represented by a combination of the name Koha and the primary support organization involved. (For example Koha - Catalyst IT, Koha -- ByWater Solutions). Libraries relying entirely on community support or internal resources are represented as Koha - Independent. If there are any special support arrangements not covered by these conventions, just mention that in the comments area of the survey. In this way the survey will be able to reflect both the functionality of the Koha software and the quality of support provided. This model of representing libraries using Koha isn't perfect, but is a pragmatic approach that aggregates all users of Koha while also segregating the different support scenarios. Participation in this survey will help amplify the visibility of Koha among those interested in library automation. While the numeric rating scales support the statistical results of the study, it's the comments offered that provide the most insight into the current state of library automation satisfaction. Comments will be published in the survey results, redacted to conceal text that might identify the individual or organization responding. The raw data for the survey will not be shared, but reports are available that provide a variety of ways to view results. Please help your fellow librarians who might be in the process of evaluating library automation options by responding to the survey. Any information regarding vendor performance and product quality can be helpful when making strategic decisions regarding automation alternatives. A large number of responses strengthen the impact of the survey and the subsequent report. If you have responded in previous years, please respond again this year to help identify any trends regarding improvement or worsening of the products or support services. For more information about the survey, for instructions on how to participate, and to see results of previous year's survey reports, see: https://librarytechnology.org/perceptions/2021/invite/ I hope that all libraries using Koha will respond. Feel free to forward this request to any other library-related list. You can view the report summarizing the results of last year's survey, including data from all previous editions, here: https://librarytechnology.org/perceptions/2020/ Please let me know if there are any questions regarding the survey.

Record display turns completely blank
by 吳宣億 15 Sep '22

15 Sep '22

Hi, Occasionally when we view/create/edit a record, the record page will not display properly, all the field will turn blank, any update to the record just pauses and we need to wait from minutes to hours before it fixes itself and the record to be displayed normally again. It happens from time to time and really impacts our workflow. This is the screenshot of what it looks when it happens: https://www.lib.ntu.edu.tw/AR/images/example.jpg Anyone else experienced this? What could be the cause and what are potential solutions? ________________________________ Mickey Wu National Taiwan University Library IT Services Department No.1 Sec.4, Roosevelt Rd., Taipei, Taiwan Tel. 02-33664573 hsuaniwu(a)ntu.edu.tw
