OPAC MARC View display not working well
by Vimal Kumar 01 Feb '12

01 Feb '12

Dear Friends, I am using Koha 3.6.3 version. I imported few records into Koha. MARC view of search result shows only Leader field. Other fields are not visible. I rebuild the zebra, but no change in the MARC view. See the screen shot. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/gqoHGK4j0-C4bhCJERf0FtMTjNZETYmyPJy0l… -- Vimal Kumar V.

Thanks Mason, you've put me on the yellow brick road. I've looked at several config files in the ..../zebradb subdirectory, and am now surrounded by the flying monkeys. :) Best, Doug -----Original Message----- From: Mason James [mailto:mtj@kohaaloha.com] Sent: Monday, January 30, 2012 6:50 PM To: Doug Dearden Cc: koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: Re: [Koha] How or maybe where are relevance rankings established?

Is there a place in the staff client where these results are controlled - i.e. which fields are given weight? afaik, the relevance is determined in zebra, internally here's some doc.. http://www.indexdata.com/zebra/doc/administration-ranking.html http://www.indexdata.com/zebra/doc/querymodel-zebra.html > > Or perhaps the question is where would I find the algorithm that is being used - assuming it is hard coded somewhere? > > The "about" info pasted below my name in the event an update will make a difference here. yes indeed, good thinking :)

How or maybe where are relevance rankings established?
by Doug Dearden 31 Jan '12

31 Jan '12

Hello All, I am trying to get a grip on how a search is ordered when "relevance" is specified. Is there a place in the staff client where these results are controlled - i.e. which fields are given weight? Or perhaps the question is where would I find the algorithm that is being used - assuming it is hard coded somewhere? The "about" info pasted below my name in the event an update will make a difference here.

backdating, merge patrons and telecirc
by Lori Bowen Ayre 30 Jan '12

30 Jan '12

Hi All, Is it true that there is no backdating feature in Koha? By this I mean, the ability to check-in items (e.g. book drop stuff) with check-in dates of the previous day (or even several days ago to handle long weekends). Is it true there is no handy way to identify duplicate patrons and to merge select patron records into one record? What about telecirc...is anyone currently using a telephone-based notification system (such as Asterisk) with Koha?

Refunding money in patron fines
by Marie Wardall 30 Jan '12

30 Jan '12

Just a question about how payments and refunds work in Koha 3.2 A student has paid for a lost book. We went into the Patron record> Fines >Create Manual Invoice and put in as a Lost item. Wouldn't you know it as soon as the student paid for the book they found and returned it so we went to Create Manual Credit > Add Credit so that his record now shows we owe the patron the amount for the book. How do we show that we have refunded the money and how do we make his account clear and be a balance of zero? Should we have done this a different way? Thanks, Marie Marie J.

processing of UNIMARC 100$a when importing bibliographic data
by Fabio T. 30 Jan '12

30 Jan '12

Hi all! I'm new to the list, my name is Fabio and I'm a project worker at an italian IT company for Cultural Heritage and at a library. I'm going to accomplish a data migration from CDS/ISIS to UNIMARC. I have a CDS/ISIS made .iso file with the bibliographic records converted to UNIMARC; this is the input data sent to Koha. Within this file I have 100$a such as 20030730d1968----km-y0itay0103----ba but, after the import from Koha backend interface, it becomes 20030730d1968----km-y0frey50 ----ba (as you can see, cataloguing language is changed from "ita" to "fre", character sets from "01" and "03" to "50", and the whole string is 35 characters long instead of 36). Here are the specs for UNIMARC general processing data field, 100$a: http://archive.ifla.org/VI/3/p1996-1/uni1.htm#100 How does Koha process this field? I assume "ita" is switched to "fre" because of the french developing of UNIMARC framework, but I'd like to keep "ita" as cataloguing language. And what about character sets and total length? Is there a way to inhibit this behaviour? Do I have to edit my bibliographic records? Thanks for all the past and upcoming help!
