Request for support: Patron autocomplete hangs in Circulation
by LibraryITSolutions 06 Mar '26

06 Mar '26

Dear Koha Community, we are currently facing an issue in Koha where the patron autocomplete in the Circulation module appears to hang indefinitely. The loading spinner keeps running, and no search result is returned. This seems to affect the patron lookup field on the circulation home page. We are currently checking whether it may be related to recent version changes or to our local configuration, but we would appreciate your guidance in case this issue is already known or if there are recommended troubleshooting steps. Any hints on where to look first would be greatly appreciated. Koha: 25.05.08 Best regards, Eugen Bastron

The Terrific Every-Other-Thursday Training Videos | 611
by BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER 27 Feb '26

27 Feb '26

Do you question your authorities? Well, if not, you should. At least, you should question the validity of your Koha authorities. Christopher recently asked Esther Melander of ByWater Solutions to educate him on the use of authorities in Koha, and how to better manage them. Esther explains how authorities work and how you can leverage tools in Koha to streamline authority creation and maintenance. https://youtu.be/ekZTCskELko Respectfully, Christopher Brannon koha-US Admin

Select next highest cost lib in Transport Cost Matrix
by Christopher Davis 27 Feb '26

27 Feb '26

Greetings Colleagues, When I read the Koha documentation/manual for the Transport Cost Matrix found at https://koha-community.org/manual/25.05/en/html/circulationpreferences.html…, it said "The library or libraries of the next highest cost shall be selected from only if all the libraries in the previous group are unable to fill the hold." My question related to that statement is: how does Koha determine that the library of the previous group is unable to fill the hold in this context? One of the members of our team said that their previous ILS, III Sierra, would select an eligible item from a branch to fill a hold, and then if that branch had not filled/triggered that hold with their eligible item within three days, then Sierra would select an eligible item from another branch to fill the hold, and so forth. That person wants to know if Koha does that same type of thing when Koha is following its Transport Cost Matrix. Thank you, Christopher Davis Technical Services Specialist Lincoln County Library District (541) 264-8141 <5412648141> christopher.davis(a)lincolncolibrarydist.org www.lincolncolibrarydist.org
