Can someone refresh schema.koha-community.org? The database has new documentation that isn't showing on there because the last time it was rebuilt was in May. Thanks a bunch! Nicole

koha
by Uğur Bulgan 01 Aug '12

Hello, We plan to migrate to Koha. And we are testing KOHA 3.8. I have got some questions: When we create a new bibliographic record, can we control LC call number in 050 marc field in the course of record if it has been used before or not? That is to say, can we check duplicate control of 050 field in the course of record? Another subject I want to ask: In serials module, If the vendor changes while renewing subscriptions of currently issues, how can we change this?. In other words, while it is A firm for 2011, if it is B firm for 2012 can we change this? Lastly, as a WEB interface, we are thinking to use VUFIND 1.3. How can we show numbers ofcurrently issues and "lib has" for journals in VUFIND? Should we make some attachments to marc field in KOHA? (marc field 852, 866 etc.) Our IP adress which we are testing on: 193.140.135.208 Ugur BULGAN

KOHA Hold Settings & Costs
by Josh Mikow 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

Good Afternoon, I'm a tech person who is working with our church librarians to upgrade their software and they asked me a few things about KOHA that I'm not sure about. 1. Can we have an email sent whenever a hold is placed on a resource by a patron? This would allow us to notify the librarians so they can pull the resource. 2. How do we set the replacement costs for a resource? 3. How do we configure the system to automatically set fines for resources that are checked out? 4. Is there a way to show the amazon image of a resource if we don't have one available? We're currently on version 3.8.03 and I really don't know anything about library management so any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Josh

Re: [Koha] SQL queries to delete records from the database?
by Sonia P. 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

Hello everyone Re: my reindexing problems (the SQL query being just what I thought would help solving the problem). A big thank you to everyone around. I received some help (private messages) and I think the problem is solved now. My understanding of the problem is that the cron job was all messed up (probably my fault). No further indexing problem since the cronjob has been redone properly. Many many thanks to everyone here for their support! Sonia.

zebra search failure and extended UTF-8 characters showing up as ?s and diamonds in opac
by George Masters 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

We are having two different issues with our Koha system even after updating to the latest version 3.8.1: 1. Zebra searches fail. When turning off zebra we get an "as-marc" method error. Ideally, I would like to use zebra so that we can allow our MARC records to be accessed by other libraries. 2. We have materials in Greek, Russian and Spanish in our collection and the extended UTF-8 characters come up as ?s and black diamonds. To see what I mean do a search in our opac for Alexander Schmemann. It is located at opac.orthdoxoeducationonline.net Although, the SAX parser test says it looks good, the 0x value is not the same one that Koha wants even though I did move the lines around in the config file. We are running the server on Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS. We have turned on ICU indexing on zebra and set the parameters for ICU in the administrative module of Koha under Searching. The export lines for PER5LIB and KOHA_CONF appear to be in the correct places. Where I think the issue is is that there are multiple areas where these parameters must be inserted. Ideally, a system of this complexity should only have one area for configuration changes. My concern is that with so many PERL modules there are all too many places for Koha to break. Attempting to run the rebuild index script rebuild_zebra -b -v -r results in an error on line 6. By turning off the zebra server, the opac partially processes searches. My suspicion lies in the handling of a MARC record I recently added from the Library of Congress Z39.50 server for a book entitled, "Man of God" published by the Nicodemus Press of the Russian Orthodox Church outside of Russia in 1994. The MARC record may be missing a required field. We are investigating that currently. If someone finds out the issue, please let us know. George Masters Director Orthodox Christian Library System

Stable vs maintenance releases?
by Cab Vinton 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Can someone explain the difference between these two? http://download.koha-community.org/ lists these as 3.8.3 (stable) and 3.6.7 (maintenance) ... I would have thought that a maintenance release is done "on top of" a stable release, comprising minor bug fixes and the like. And how is it determined what the latest "stable" release is? I notice that Equinox's support page is still listing 3.4.1 as the current stable version. Is this something that varies from support company to support company, depending on their confidence in a particular release, their philosophy of development, etc? With thanks, Cab Vinton, Director Sanbornton Public Library Sanbornton, NH Life is short. Read fast!

New Authoritie - Problem when find possible dublicate
by anjoze 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

I with version *3.08.03.000* I have a error when I'm creating a new Authoritie and koha finds a possible duplicate: Software error: Can't use string ("Lopes, Francisco Luiz <br/> <br/") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/authorities/authorities.pl line 613. With version 3.08.01.000 its OK, there is no problem. So I compare both functions and they are a bit different: Ver: 3.08.01.000 <i>duplicateauthvalue => $duplicateauthvalue,/ Ver: 3.08.03.000 /duplicateauthvalue => $duplicateauthvalue*->{authorized}->[0]*,/ When I remove *->{authorized}->[0]* it works OK. -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/New-Authoritie-Problem-when-find-possible… Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Dear All, When update koha to 3.8.3 where zebra using DOM doesn't index biblios and authorities, but in previous version Koha everything is fine. Do I have to manually configure anything else?
