I work with Firebug fairly regularly - which is how I got as far as the "greybox" scripts, but nothing appears to define height in finite terms. I found a "100%" and tried a few different values to no avail; also a "height=300" -- but 400 did not cure the problem. I also tried adding a css bottom-margin, but no joy. When I got to the "yui" scripts (all lines run together), I decided to write to the experts here :) From past experience with web-gui interfaces, I *thought* (but am more than happy to be proven wrong) that browsers defaulted to enclose/show all elements and that height had to be specifically defined to override the default. That's what I was looking for. btw, is there a quick CLI to restart Koha without rebooting? tnx and br - paul >Â >Â If someone can point me in the right direction I'll be happy to try and >file a "bug + fix". > > >This is not a bug, per se.

Dear Mohamed, Consider to use any koha live cd, if you feel that koha manual installation is difficult. http://kylehall.info/index.php/projects/koha/koha-virtual-appliance/ Regards, -- Vimal Kumar V.

Re: [Koha] Loading Authority records

> I believe someone asked about this not too long ago but I don't recall > seeing any answer. > > I can get authority records from our bibliographic vendor but how do you > get them into Koha? Hi, Cecil: some months ago I wrote something similar: this was my experience during migration from non-Koha to Koha 3.2. In Koha, manually add some auth records, at least one for each type of auth you are going to import. Look at created records in table auth_header. Use each auth_header.marcxml as a model for a (perl) script to tail marcxml records with your data. A model for PERSO_NAME (replace *...* with your data) could be: <record> <leader>00000nz a2200133n 4500</leader> <controlfield tag="003">*YOUR LIBRARY CODE*</controlfield> <controlfield tag="005">*CURRENT TIMESTAMP like 20101125120000.0*</controlfield> <controlfield tag="008">*YYMMDD*n||a|nnnaabn || aad |d</controlfield> <datafield tag="040" ind1=" " ind2=" "> <subfield code="a">*YOUR LIBRARY CODE*</subfield> <subfield code="b">*YOUR LIBRARY LANGUAGE CODE*</subfield> <subfield code="c">*YOUR LIBRARY CODE*</subfield> </datafield> <datafield tag="100" ind1="0" ind2=" "> <subfield code="a">*SURNAME, NAME*</subfield> </datafield> <datafield tag="400" ind1="0" ind2=" "> <subfield code="a">*USED FOR/SEE FROM*</subfield> </datafield> <datafield tag="942" ind1=" " ind2=" "> <subfield code="a">PERSO_NAME</subfield> </datafield> </record> At begin of file insert: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <collection xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim http://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml/schema/MARC21slim.xsd" xmlns="http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim"> and append at end of file </collection> Then import the created xml file using bulkmarcimport.pl -a -m marcxml -file your_authorities.xml and link them to your biblios with link_bibs_to_authorities.pl HTH.

Re: [Koha] OPAC MARC View display not working well
by Ian Bays 03 Feb '12

Yes. Even exporting the odd record from the 3.6.1 and importing to the 3.6.2, the display on the 3.6.2 does not fail. I thought we might have broken the xsl stylesheet, but turning that off still loses those tags (020, 099, 245, 300, 650). Will report what we find - however embarrassing...

Someone may be marking them lost that would return them off the persons card. There isn't a charge for replacement price on their account?
