Problem with Koha upgrade

16 Jul '12

Hi everyone, I have just make the upgrade from Koha 3.8.1 to Koha 3.8.2, on Centos 6. But when I run the rebuild of the catalogue I get this error: ---- [koha@host bin]$ migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -v Zebra configuration information ================================ Zebra biblio directory = /var/lib/koha/zebradb/biblios Zebra authorities directory = /var/lib/koha/zebradb/authorities Koha directory = /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin BIBLIONUMBER in : 001$@ BIBLIOITEMNUMBER in : 090$a ================================ ==================== exporting authority ==================== Records exported: 0 ==================== REINDEXING zebra ==================== ==================== exporting biblio ==================== 1.......

Does anyone have an idea of what is the possible cause of this issue?

Item type is a category for the circulation rules. The item type may not be physical (and, while I don't want to break circulation rules, we're a reference library -- nobody gets out the door with anything from our stacks), but one of our cataloguing volunteers has 30 years of experience with MaRC at a major university and Library Archives Canada, and she suggested an audit of our MaRC coding, strictly to Z39.71 standards (LoC documentation, CONSER, NASI, etc.) What we found was that our "book" biblios, which I had really concentrated on during Koha setup (and MarcEdit import) 18 months ago, was at least half decent; on the other hand, our serials (we hold 275,000 items) was not very clever. I've been able to correct most of the egregious, repetitive mistakes (direct manipulation of MySQL) but am now involved in trying to make the cataloguers' job (Koha staff client) easier to do and less prone to errors (framework, on screen presentation and help files) while the "expert lady" is setting up some training sessions. The bottom line is that Z39.50 biblios for serials (particularly historically "dead" ones, which are our raison d'être) seem difficult to come by (maybe someone knows of a good source?) and one day we intend to make ours public via a Z39.50 server at our end. I'd like to think that by them they would be pretty clean. Again, thanks for your assistance, Paul

Serials framework
by Paul 15 Jul '12

15 Jul '12

Apologies if the answer is available, I just can't find it. Serials framework, Leader 000 position 7, must be changed from m - Monograph/Item to s - Serial. How do I make "s" the default in that specific framework (obviously without modifying default, books etc frameworks), or do our cataloguers have to remember to change it? Even after setting 942$c to serials, the "m" keeps appearing in the leader. Thanks - Paul

Language chooser doesn't work

Hi everyone, I have installed Koha 3.8.1 on Centos 6 (i386). Everything is ok, but I have this problem: when I'm cataloging i cannot choose any language from the tag 101$a; I mean: if I try to open the sub menu for this tag nothing appear (the same situation for the tag 102$a): http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/file/n5719749/Immagine_1.png Any idea to solve this problem?

Patch for shibboleth login
by Tom Francart 14 Jul '12

14 Jul '12

Dear all, I wrote rudimentary Shibboleth login support for Koha. It's quite specific to our university and Koha setup, but should be easy to modify. I hope someone finds it useful. The attached patch can be applied to lib/C4/Auth.pm of Koha 3.8.2 best regards, Tom

Acquisitions issue
by Olugbenga Adara 13 Jul '12

13 Jul '12

Hello all, I have recently deployed Koha 3.8.2 and discovered that i am unable to specify quantity received when receiving an order in the acquisition module with the AcqCreateItem system preference set to "receiving an order". If i change the syspref to "placing an order" I am unable to specify the quantity for the item. In both cases the text box i am suppose to enter the quantity of items is uneditable. I have tried the Bywater 3.8 demo and it works as expected. Please can anyone give me a pointer to what may be wrong?

Here's the salient bit log] Records: 0 i/u/d 0/0/0 No items inserted, updated or deleted. So zebra is being given nothing it can index, it looks to me like your upgrade didn't work well, and the records are not complete. Do you have mysql access, can you do select marc,marcxml from biblioitems where biblionumber = 669 And take a look at it, i suspect it is missing the 999 field, if not a lot more. Chris

Hi, I have made some patron categories e.g. student, academic staff, admin staff and i want to set some default privilages for them so that each patron i creat for that category has that default privilages. Is there some way to do that? Or assigning privilages to each and every patron seperately is the only option? thanks umer habib
