Re: [Koha] Can't tick "item due" box in Patron messaging preferences

Hello everyone (not sure you ever received my previous message, as I received a delivery failure email...) I just realised one thing... "item due" in the default messaging preferences of a patron category is NOT about overdue items, is it? I didn't realise it was two different things. So there is nothing to do in the messaging preferences to enable overdue items notices... ? If I run a SQL query on the database, I can see that some people have a "1" set for overduenoticerequired, which is good, but then I really don't know why they don't receive it... Cheers, Sonia.

Importing Catalogue Records
by franc＠library.iisc.ernet.in 13 Aug '12

Dear Members, I'm trying to import a few sample records using the 'Stage MARC records for import' feature of KOHA-3.08.03. A sample ,mrk record is given below for your reference: =LDR 00000nam 2200000Ia 45e0^M =008 120810s9999\\\\xx\\\\\\\\\\\\000\0\und\d^M =020 \\$a001^M =082 \\$a541.39$bN37^M =100 \\$aBailey, K.C.^M =245 \\$aGalactose regulation of yeast: From genetics to systms^M =260 \\$c1937$bEdward Arnold$aBANGALORE^M =300 \\$a100P^M =952 \\$p2^M After converting the .mrk file to .mrc file, records are successfully imported. While staging the records for importing, I have ensured that the 'check for embedded item data record' is set to 'yes'. Indexing through Zebra goes through without any issues. However, in the search results, the Holding Details for 'item type', 'current location', 'home library' and 'call number' are all blank. I have looked up the Koha documentation and also the Koha list's archived content, but not been able to find a solution for my problem. Could I request for some guidance from the fellow members? In the Administrative cataloging preferences, NewItemsDefaultLocation is set to JRDTML, the only library that exists as of now. Thanks for your attention. - Francis JRDTML, IISc, Bangalore, India -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Hi George, Please always include the list on your emails as you will get more eyes on the problem as well as everyone benefiting from the answers.

I'd take a look at the host file to be sure things there are in order. localhost is definitely not going to resolve on any public network. > > As I understand koha can’t get right patrons email. > As for koha not retrieving patrons' emails correctly, I'm not sure there either. I would suggest going over the section on notices in the manual (http://manual.koha-community.org/3.6/en/cronjobsch.html#noticescron) as there are a variety of options and sysprefs related to notices which must be properly configured in order for them to work correctly. My guess is that something is not configured correctly. > > How to configure koha 3.0 (prior to 3.2) to use gmail as smtp server? > This is probably not possible without backporting the mods in this commit: http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=commitdiff;h=d31c1603cca… Even then, there may be other issues which crop up.

No search results and zebra warning
by Marius Stoica 10 Aug '12

10 Aug '12

Hi, Our library has Koha 3.8 installed on Debian 6 using the deb packege koha-common. I've imported a part of our UNIMARC records with items, but it seems that no record was indexed - searching for known keywords gives no results. Running koha-rebuild zebra -f {instance name} gives this warning: [warn] Record didn't contain match fields in (bib1,Local-number) Is this a problem with wrong Unimarc records in the imported batch? Any hint is appreciated! Thanks! Marius

Can't tick "item due" box in Patron messaging preferences
by Sonia P. 10 Aug '12

10 Aug '12

Dear all I am trying to send reminders for overdue items. I am currently reading the manual and I think I have got everything, but still I can't tick that box (in an individual patron or in the administration "patron categories"). I can actually tick the box and then I click on save, but it's not saved. Though, if I tick other boxes (Item Checkout, Hold Filled, Item Check-in), it saves correctly and then it's really ticked when I load the patron preferences again... I did the notice triggers, the enhancedmessagingpreferences and I don't remember what else. Cheers, Sonia.

Replacing all of the biblios
by Darla Grediagin 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

Good morning, I have done some major changes to my MARC records this summer. Is there an easy way to remove the existing records and replace them with the edited ones. The goal for this is to have records that have correct item types and remove records that were duplicate and had no items. The current database is about 500 MB and it should be about 70MB. Thanks for any information, Darla -- Darla Grediagin District Librarian Bering Strait School District Unalakleet, Alaska Web Address : http://bssdonline.org/course/view.php?id=51 Blog: http://aklibrarian1.edublogs.org/ OPAC: http://opac.bssd.org:8282

Importing individual records
by Seth Mayo 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

The librarian has asked me to investigate an issue where when she using Z39.50 to search for a biblio and then proceeds through the process of adding it and an item, she is left with a record that is forever in the reservoir. I've looked around online and in the mailing list and I haven't found anything like this... Being the 'IT' guy and not the librarian, I'm trying to gather how it all works as well. Best I can work out you can add individual records with Z39.50 from the cataloging screen which will at the end add it into the catalogue or you can perform a staged marc import. What our librarian needs to do is import 1 off books and not staged batches. So I would assuming using the Z39.50 search button, adding the biblio and then an item would be all that is needed to complete this task. Is this correct? If it is correct, the records are going into a reservoir instead of the catalogue. I can find online that the reservoir is used with the staged method but I can't find anything that says it is used elsewhere. How can records be released into the catalogue using the 1 off method instead of the staged method? I has been mentioned that this behaviour has changed since we upgraded Koha for them. Apparently before the upgrade, the 1 off books could be imported in this method. Is something broken or am I missing something somewhere? I also found a website that mentioned the need for an ongoing cron job with misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z. I've manually executing this to see if it would import the reservoir items but it hasn't changed anything... Any help would be greatly appreciated!
