My circulation rules are ignored?
by Marty 07 Apr '13

07 Apr '13

I think I am doing something wrong with the circulation rules but I am not bright enough to figure it out, or I am missing something. It is also years since I set up our previous circulation rules. We basically have rules that apply to almost everybody, so I figured it would be simple, the problem is, it does not work as I expect it to work. We have people living in institutions that we won't lend more than one item to, because there is a rather high risk that it will not be returned. By limiting their items we reduce our loss to one item, because we won't allow them another item until the other is returned. We are rather limited in the amount of children DVD's and to prevent them all being out to the same person we want to limit the item to a quantity of 2 per patron. The only limit that seems to work is the 12 item limit, I have been trying for a while on my parallel system, but I can issue Children DVD's until I reach the limit of 12. There are no warnings or any other indicators. Same for the "Special" category, I can issue them 12 items no problem, the idea was that it gives me a warning, or preferably block people from issuing more than one item to them. So, what do I do wrong? Below are my circulation rules. Special All 1 21 days None defined 0.50 7 7 5.00 0 1 1 0.000000 All Children DVD 2 21 days None defined 0.50 7 7 10.00 0 0 1 0.000000 All All 12 21 days None defined 0.50 7 7 10.00 0 3 3 0.000000

Jesse Weaver (pianohacker) will be working with ByWater for the Summer. Special Request to join QAA team..
by Brendan Gallagher 05 Apr '13

05 Apr '13

Hello All - Jesse Weaver, the 54th committer to Koha, will be working with ByWater from May 15th to about August 15th of 2013. He will be dedicated to working only on Koha work, like signing off on patches and fixing bugs. I also had another thought that if we could get him accepted to the QAA team for those three months that would be a great help there also. We all know that he's got the skills and the ability. I am interested to hear if there are any objections to this. Jesse has stated that he would look forward to helping out with the QA load. Of course since he will be paid by ByWater - he will not QA or sign-off on ByWater patches/code. Either way we will be dedicating his time to Koha work. Thank you for your comments and thoughts and sorry to not bring this up in the last General IRC meeting - it was at 3am my time and I was still working on the details with Jesse for this summer. Perhaps this should be brought up and voted on during the next General IRC meeting? Or will this mailing and no objections suffice? Thanks, Brendan -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brendan A. Gallagher ByWater Solutions

Olly olly oxen free: integrators with Koha, stand up and be counted
by Galen Charlton 03 Apr '13

03 Apr '13

[This morning I posted the following query to the Koha community blog. Please distributed widely.] Does your project, service, or product interact with Koha in some automated fashion? If so, we’d like to hear from you. I’m using the phrase “automated fashion” very broadly. There are many ways to receive data from a Koha system, update data in a Koha database, or make transactions happen. A few of these ways include: - RESTful web service calls - SIP2 to perform patron and circulation requests - Z39.50, unAPI, and OpenSearch to retrieve catalog data - LDAP to authenticate patrons - MARC exports and imports - Screen-scraping (although if you’re screen-scraping Koha, we may be able to suggest a better way to do it) - Direct database access - And others Some of the things we’d like to know include: - The name of your service or product - What it does for a Koha library - How it is accessing Koha - Whether there are specific APIs or entry points that your application depends on - If there are things that Koha could be doing to make your life easier We want to hear from everybody, whether you are a library that has integrated Koha with other software, a Koha support group, a vendor providing products or services to libraries, or a member of a free software project whose software talks with Koha. If you work for a Koha library and know that Koha works with another service, we want to hear from you too, even if you don’t know how Koha is doing the talking. Why do we want to know? Our reasons include: - Finding out which entry points we should be particularly careful about changing as Koha gets enhanced. - Seeing if there are things we could be doing better to encourage more people and applications to participate in the Koha ecosystem. - (Maybe) putting together a list of third-party services that interact with Koha. To respond, please comment on the post at http://koha-community.org/olly-olly-oxen-free-integrators-koha-stand-counte….

Seeking room-share for KohaCon 2013!
by D Ruth Bavousett 03 Apr '13

Since I'm no longer with a Koha support company, I'll be traveling to KohaCon on my own dime. I'm interested in saving a bit of money, so if some other female (especially an international attendee) is interested in splitting the cost of a room, please get in touch with me off-list.

Records missing in OPAC
by Laurent Spitaels 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

Hi everybody, I will explain my problem that I have with my database in koha. At the beginning I had a lot of records which don't have the good itemtype. The first move was changing the itemtype with a script. I changed the itemtype in the database (biblioitems table) and the marcxml also stored in the biblioitems table. The change worked but when I do a search in OPAC, the record that have changed are missing but they are present in the database. I did a rebuild of zebra but nothing changed. Did I do something wrong? Best regards! Laurent Spitaels laurent.spitaels(a)vki.ac.be www.vki.ac.be
