Problem With Scanning Barcodes
by glaws 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

For some time our library has experienced problems with scanning library card barcodes into Koha for checkout or book barcodes for cataloging, and the system returns a patron (if library card) or item record (if book), different from that scanned in. The problem appears seemingly at random intervals and infrequently, but in time clusters. It happens at two different locations, on different computers at each location, and with those computers using different barcode readers. This suggests the problem is not related to the client workstations or barcode readers. I'm never close to the computers when this happens, so I can't determine if the barcode numbers are close (off by one digit or initial/terminal digit?), or if there is any other relationship. I suspect neither. I wonder if it may be something internal to Koha; I'm unsure what the time clustering (two days ago it happened approximately eight times) implies. We have also recently changed the system setting "CircAutocompl" to "don't try" for a non-related issue; we'll see if that makes a difference with the scanning. Views and comments welcome. -- Greg Lawson Network Administrator Rolling Hills Consolidated Library 1912 N. Belt Highway St. Joseph, MO 64506

Analytic records question
by Cab Vinton 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

We're planning on using Koha's analytic records to handle cataloging of our ereaders and the ebooks loaded onto them. (Info on analytic records here: http://manual.koha-community.org/3.8/en/cataloging.html#cataloganalytics) I'm able to link our ebook record to the record for our ereader. When I check out the ereader, it is correctly checked out in both the staff & public interfaces, as expected. The record for the ebook, however, shows that it is still available (while also showing that the ereader is checked out). Is this the expected behavior? Our preference would be for the ebook to show as checked out as well, even though there's no guarantee that this particular item was desired or read by the patron and we may have to make adjustments to our circulation statistics. Link to the ebook record: http://catalog.splnh.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=25778 Link to the ereader record: http://catalog.splnh.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=25777 Thanks for your thoughts.

Bit of code appears on screen
by Lenora Oftedahl 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Could someone tell me where I can fix this? I can't see where it is coming from. Koha 3.06.04.000 *********************************************** We have noticed a script error in the library's Koha search interface that leaves an unintended bit of program code showing in the upper left-hand corner of search interface. You can see an example of it here: http://catalog.streamnetlibrary.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-shelves.pl?viewshelf=… The '//]]>' bit in the upper left should not be there and is the result of a commented-out piece of code that should either be removed or placed before the end </script> tag above it. I have included an image that shows the location in the code of the issue. Is this something that you have control over and could fix? If so, it would be a great help. Van is actually encapsulating the search interface into another website, which he has working well, but the stuff in the left corner sticks out like sore thumb! You can see what it looks like here: http://cct.psmfc.org/sample-page/cct-doclibrary Lenora StreamNet Library

Koha 2.2.9 issuing and returns of the book, generating new reports.
by Rohit 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

Dear All, I' am currently using koha 2.2.9 on windows, my problem is when I' am issuing a book to a borrower by giving a particular date, the book is being issued but it is showing that it has also been returned at the same time. I've tried to resolve this issue by entering a few values in "*Issuing Rules*" under "*Parameters*" tab but in vain. I would also like to know how to generate reports containing the borrower details, the details of the book and the time of issue and return. I request if anyone could kindly help me out with the listed problems. -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-2-2-9-issuing-and-returns-of-the-boo… Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
