Question about Overdue email notices
by Steven Nickerson 04 May '12

04 May '12

Hello everyone, Thanks for the help with the HOLDS issue yesterday.thought I'd try a different topic today. We have already enabled overdue email notices and they seem to be working but I'm wondering if someone can explain exactly how they work (who gets them, when) and answer a question about possibly copying our Librarian on all overdue email notices. So, here's how I think it works.can someone just verify this is correct, please? - If we have the patron's email address, only they get the overdue notice - If we have no email address for a patron, the Librarian's email address gets the overdue notice If this is correct, is it possible to configure Koha 3.2.2 to CC: the Librarian on overdue notices when we have the patron's email address? If not, is there some report we can run to show overdue messages that have gone out or some log file I can look at, just so that we can verify that overdue notices are indeed processing/working? Thanks, as always! Steve

Manual Help
by Nicole Engard 04 May '12

04 May '12

Hi all, Can someone tell me on this list: http://manual.koha-community.org/3.8/en/notices.html#existingnotices which cron job (http://manual.koha-community.org/3.8/en/cronjobsch.html#noticescron) controls the sending of which notice? I think it would help if I enhanced the documentation with that info, but I'm not 100% sure on each of them so I'd like some expert input. Nicole

3.8.0 acquisitions error
by Sunita Barve 04 May '12

04 May '12

While trying upgrading koha from 3.6.4 to 3.8.0 following problem was incurred: In acquisitions, when receiving a book which is ordered to x vendor it does not allow to create items though in system preferences AcqCreateItem is set to "create an item when receiving an order". The "receive" screen does not have any item creation option. Acquisitions Framework is as well created in MARC bibliographic framework. Has anybody experienced this problem. Is there any way to add shipping costs while ordering/receiving an item. reg Sunita Barve

Solr demo - current BibLibre solr and stetienne devs (updated)
by Massoud Alshareef 04 May '12

04 May '12

Great Work! Thank you BibLibre. Thank you Claire. For people like us with a non-Latin native language, with stemming as a must to support like in Arabic, Solr FTE is the answer to few but major limitations we have encountered with Zebra. I just hope that BibLibre's work with Solr can be easily now extended to help in migrating Katipto Communications' Kete (the great community digital library piece of work I love) from Zebra to Solr.

Re: [Koha] Right To Left in Arabic KOHA

Issue with HOLDS
by Steven Nickerson 03 May '12

03 May '12

Hello everyone, We're using Koha 3.2.2 and have the "AllowOnShelfHolds" setting set to Allow, but we are unable to place a HOLD on anything that is currently on the shelf. Every attempt yields "Sorry, none of these items can be placed on hold.". We can place a hold on any item currently checked out however. Would anyone have any ideas of where I should look to get this working? We'd like patrons to be able to search from home a place a HOLD that we then get emailed to us and we will set it aside for them in the library to pick up. Thanks!

new fiscal year
by Michael Little 03 May '12

03 May '12

Hello, we're quite new to Koha so please excuse me if we've missed someting basic. We are now in fiscal year 2012/13, for which we have manually set up a budget. We have activivated this budget and switched off the 2011/12 budget. However, when we receive orders created in the 2011/12 period the funds are still coming off the 2011/12 budget. Is there anything else that we need to do to get the monies to come off the 2012/13 budget? Thanks in advance -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/new-fiscal-year-tp5683270.html Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Solr demo - current BibLibre solr and stetienne devs (updated)
by Claire Hernandez 03 May '12

03 May '12

Hi all, I updated the solr-demo install. We provided it for kohacon11 demo but it seems it could be usefull sometimes. This is the current stetienne version (solr devs + acquisitions and serials you can find here with "STE" library code https://docs.google.com/a/biblibre.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuZF5Y_c4pIxdHE… ) Professional interface is here: http://solr-demo.biblibre.com <http://solr-demo.biblibre.com/> There is a "demo" account, you could see for example the current admin interface for indexes preferences http://solr-demo.biblibre.com/cgi-bin/koha/solr/indexes.pl We are re-doing work for the future abstract layer. I will setup a new install to show what we have. Stay tuned :) Claire; (other close subject: you can see the progress for april month for rebase work at BibLibre: https://docs.google.com/a/biblibre.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuZF5Y_c4pIxdHE…)
