Error as kohaadmin
by Mrs. Chitralekha M. Chitale 15 Feb '13

15 Feb '13

Sir / Madam, I have set up koha 3.10 version recently and started setting basic parameters and global setting preferences. When I logged into koha admin I receive following message in a yellow box -- Warning: You're logged in with the database administrator account. This a bad idea, and you are likely to encounter problems. You should create a patron to use when administering Koha and give it superlibrarian permissions. I was not receiving this message till yesterday. What does this mean? Another query is I created second library. When I tried to edit its details I see blank form. When I tried to edit the first library it opened normally with appropriate details. Then I tried to delete the second library as I did not enter any data using this library. I received the message library deleted successfully. Still I see the second library. What may be the problem? How do I resolve it? Mrs. Chitralekha Mahesh Chitale Librarian, LTCE, Navi Mumbai.

Rental book collection - suppressing rental items
by Kevin Unrath 14 Feb '13

14 Feb '13

Does anyone else out there have a rental book or dvd collection they are providing to customers using Koha? We have been charged (no pun intended) by our board to provide popular books and dvds on a "first come/first served" rental basis, for a nominal charge. I can see how to set up the rental fees, but I can't figure out how to make the items non-holdable (which is necessary to make the collection first come/first served). Is it just a matter of suppressing the items that will be rented? Do they need separate bib records? Anyone with experience providing a rental collection service: if you can share your best practices, I would very much appreciate it. Best, Kevin Kevin Unrath, MLS Principal Librarian - Borrower Services Middletown Township Public Library 55 New Monmouth Road, Middletown, NJ 07748 (732)671-3700 X317 kunrath(a)mtpl.org<mailto:kunrath@mtpl.org>

A query on 008 character 39
by Indranil Das Gupta 14 Feb '13

14 Feb '13

Hi all, this is more of a query for the catalogers. At the 39th character, of 008, Koha offers - #, c, d, u, | Are this values arbitrary? Would it be correct to encode an additional value in the plugin template for a specific library? or should I stick with using 040 for that purpose? thanks -- Indranil Das Gupta Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://indradg.randomink.org/blog IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.

unrecognized Armenian and Russian letters
by Haik Zargaryan 14 Feb '13

14 Feb '13

Dear friends, You may know, that when we search for a record in the OPAC, in the Results page koha offers us some additional authors to refine our search. Here we have a bug for the names written in Armenian and Russian letters. When I click on the author name new page is opened but no result is found. The reason is that although the name in the Refine search tab is displayed correctly, when we click on it koha does not recognize some letters and generates a new query with unrecognized characters. I am more than sure that this is the problem because when I substitute the unrecognized characters in the generated link with the proper ones koha retrieves the queried records. Here is a link to a screenshot wich may be helpful for you. http://www.flib.sci.am/arm/archive/image/arm1.png Thanks in advance, Haik.
