Acquisitions questions regarding invoicing in Koha version 3.6
by McElroy, Maureen 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

To the collective brain..... Our library system is new to Koha. We've recently migrated to version 3.6 and are trying to organize/set up our acquisitions workflow. Is it possible to invoice in Koha? (Create an invoice; charge received orders to the invoice; pay the invoice, charging down related funds.) Is it possible to print out some sort of invoice summary or voucher listing the subtotals of each account charged down, within an invoice? How would we include shipping charges and processing charges in an invoice? Any info. would be greatly appreciated! Maureen McElroy Manager Technical Services Dept.

Two odd, possibly connected behaviors from Koha...syssasdasd
by Andrew 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Hi All, Here's the deal: We are currently running Koha 3.0 on Debian 4.0.1 served to various buildings via Fiber Channel on our LAN. The first problem is a lag in search and query functions performed by several of our librarians located in a building across the street. The problem seems to be localised to them, and I see no identifiable issues with the network itself, of their exterior Internet connection - browsing outside of Koha is snappy and "normal". I want to assume that this problem is purely a physical connection issue with the fiber channel of the switches, but I wanted to explore other possibilities that it might be something else specific to Koha. I'm new to administering Koha, though I've used it for queries and searched for two years. The second problem is a possible result of a Global Update that was performed just before I started at this position. After the update several catalogue entries literally "went missing" when searches were performed, only to turn up gradually over the course of three days. there are also several duplicated entries, fully functional and searchable via MARC,etc.. All of the errors to records seem to have occurred to the records that were being entered into Koha during the actual time period of the Global Update, and don't appear to be propagating across the database. Could this simply be fixed by updating the MARC records and initiate index updates? I can try things out in a sandbox environment if I need to, but I'm being very careful so not to amplify a small problem into something that might take our OPAC down for a full day or two. In my opinion our copy of Koha is stable and usable, but I'd like to come up with a solution as fast as I can to eliminate the duplicates. Ideas? Thanks

Ok, in spite of my worst fears, the issues mentioned below have been resolved and the 3.6.x branch is now in a string freeze. I'm planning to release on 25 Jan 2012, giving the translators a week to update translations. See you in a week! :-) Kind Regards, Chris Koha 3.4.x/3.6.x Release Maintainer On Tue, Jan 17, 2012 at 10:50 PM, Chris Nighswonger < cnighswonger(a)foundations.edu> wrote: > Hi all, > > Just an update here on the status of 3.6.3. > > My schedule has been extremely busy since I returned to work the first of > the month.

Problem when removing subfield in biblio editor
by Marcel de Rooy 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Hi, Does anyone of you recognize this (rather serious) problem. If I have a field say 710 with $4 relator code followed by $9 authid and $a name, and I clear the $4 with Delete this subfield and save the record, I also loose the other subfields!! This does not happen when the subfield order is different like $9 $a $4 and clearing $4. Came across old Bugzilla reports 3264 and 5707 but they seem to focus on authorities editor. This problem above is in the biblio editor. Any comments welcome, Marcel

I am trying to access http://koha-community.org/ , which is been redirected to http://koha-community.org/stop-sopa/. Which is fine. However, when you click on the Continue to site <http://koha-community.org/> link, which I think should take you to the usual website, it is redirecting you back to the Stop-sopa page. There is some information I want on our usual website Kind Regards, Admire Mutsikiwa ICT Projects Manager Library IT University of Zimbabwe Tel:+263-4-303276 Cel:+263-772-239187

3.6.3 Update
by Chris Nighswonger 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Hi all, Just an update here on the status of 3.6.3. My schedule has been extremely busy since I returned to work the first of the month. As a result, I have been working in fits and starts to get commits picked out of master and into 3.6.x in preparation for the release of 3.6.3. After finally getting several hours today devoted to the work, I have royally screwed up my local maintenance branch from which I push to the main repo. As those who eat and drink git know, this is not a fatal disaster, but it is certainly one which will now require another large block of time to correct: a resource I am sadly short on at the moment. Long story short: 3.6.3 will not be released on time this month. Very likely it will be near the end of the month before I can get things sorted out and announce a string freeze for the translators. This pushes the release into the second week of February. Please accept my sincerest apologies for the delay. Kind Regards, Chris Koha 3.4.x/3.6.x Release Maintainer

US-Centric question - SOPA/PIPA protest blackout on k-c.org tomorrow (US time)?
by Liz Rea 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

It would be easy to participate in the SOPA/PIPA web blackout protest tomorrow on koha-community.org, should we? Good idea? Bad idea? Do note, I don't intend for this thread to become a political debate - I just want to know if there is any corpus of support for participating in the blackout with one of our web properties.
