To print barch barcodes on Zebra GK 420T
by Zeno Tajoli 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

Hi to all, I have to print big batches of barcodes with Zebra GK 420T. I try to use the pdf files created with Koha's Label Creator Module. In fact the print isn't correct. Positions of barcode are not not correct on the first 10 barcode, correct on 11°-20° barcode, not correct from 21° barcode until the end. So I try to work with CSV export of barcode labels. Do you have experience with this printer ? Do you have/develop specific routines to handle barcodes from csv export with this printer ? Cheers Zeno Tajoli -- Dott.

Can't delete patron record
by Ann Weitzel 11 Feb '12

11 Feb '12

I am running Koha v3.06.02.003 and have successfully migrated my old database from 3.00.00.107 to this newer Koha instance. I can add new patron records through the Staff Interface as user kohaadmin but when I attempt to delete any patron records (old or new) via the Patron Details -> More button -> Delete, the Delete menu item is grayed out (disabled). Is there something I first need to enable before I can delete patron records or this a bug in Koha? The kohaadmin user in MySQL has full database privileges. Also, how can I upgrade my Koha 3.6.2 to the latest build of 3.6.3 without database loss? Can I simply re-run the Web Installer to do an in-place upgrade or do I have to press the 'Big Red Do-Over' button ;-) Thanks!

limit display length of last name? (holdslip)
by Adams, Jason 10 Feb '12

10 Feb '12

Our library branch places hold items (to be picked up) in a public area for patrons to grab and check out for themselves. For privacy reasons, we'd like to limit the info displayed on the hold slips/receipts. Is there a way to limit the length (e.g. first 2 letters) of the "surname" displayed on these receipts AND is there a way to limit the display of units of the "cardnumber" (e.g. the LAST 4 numbers). I'm hoping it's a matter of simple HTML code for displaying pieces (or limited lengths) of database info that I've never needed to know about until now. Many thanks to whomever can provide a solution and/or other alternatives for "privatizing" the hold slips. We're currently typing this code (first 2 of last name and last 4 of card number) into a template that we print via Publisher. It'd be great if we could write/code it into Koha to do for us. Jason Adams, L.A. II Northwest Reno Library I believe this is what we'd like to change (where it says surname and cardnumber) - koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/circ/hold-transfer-slip.tmpl  <title>Koha -- Circulation: Transfers</title>  </head> <body onload="window.print();"> <div id="holdslip">  <h5>Date: </h5> <h3 class="transferdata"> Transfer to Hold in  </h3> <div id="patrondata"> <h3>,  </h3> <ul> <li></li> ... ...

IRC meeting decision about "discussion"
by Paul Poulain 10 Feb '12

10 Feb '12

Hi all, (Koha general mailing list reader: this mail is also for you, please read it's an opportunity to participate to Koha, even if you don't have technical skills !) Tomas was faster than me to start a discussion, I planned to send a mail about the results of our discussion during the last IRC session. The question was : "how to deal with patches that are 'in discussion'". I made a proposal, that has been a little bit amended during the discussion, here is the final result: * when a patch is rejected or is conflicting with another one (not a technical conflict, but a "strategic" conflict), the bug status can be set to "In Discussion" * Someone (I volunteered to do it, but feel free to do it yourself if you're concerned= - start a wiki page with describing the problem - send a mail to koha-devel and koha pointing to the wiki page, and calling for comments. * the delay for discussion is "until next IRC meeting, not less than 1 week" * at the next IRC meeting, - if the discussion (on the wiki or koha-devel) result in a general agreement, nothing specific need to be made (no vote needed) - if the discussion result in a balanced situation, organize a vote. About the vote (this has not been discussed on last IRC meeting, thinking of it and proposing it now): as some of us are always sleeping during IRC meetings, it's unfair to vote only on the IRC channel during the meeting. I propose that ppl could also express their preference/vote on the wiki itself (and have a specific section for that on the page). Those votes would be added to the IRC vote.

[Discussion tech] database table naming
by Paul Poulain 10 Feb '12

10 Feb '12

Continuing with open discussion for the future of Koha: On the page http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/DB_schema_bugs, we have referenced some inconsistencies on the database. One of them is about table naming : acquisition related tables all start by aq, other tables don't have any prefix. OTOH, Julian has submitted a bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5339 that adds an "invoice" table, related to acquisitions, but don't has a aq prefix. The possible options are on http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Table_naming, let's start the discussion ! -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08

Is there a widget to add on to Koha that will generate citations like WorldCat does in their Cite/Export function? Thanx. Lenora

Placing holds on ordered items
by Wolf, Bonnie 09 Feb '12

09 Feb '12

Our library is new to Koha (currently version 3.6). We are just beginning to order materials, and it seems that the records created upon order will not allow holds on the title because no items exist. Does anyone know of a way to makes titles "holdable" before items are actually received? I'd appreciate any insights you may have. Bonnie Wolf Washoe County Library Technical Services 775-327-8331
