Sessions table corrupt in Koha 3.0
by ed c 14 Jan '12

14 Jan '12

I am trying to work on a small, older Koha (3.0.2)install that is not longer working. Koha is having issues connecting to the database after a problem with diskspace. While checking the Mysql and log files, I've come across with a problem with the "sessions" table in Koha. a CHECK TABLES on it or a REPAIR just hangs forever. They have backups so I should be able to restore the whole database (or possibly just this table) but before I do, does anyone have any other alternative solutions? What does this table do? Thanks, Edward

Koha 3.4.7. // additem.pl
by Alen Vodopijevec 13 Jan '12

13 Jan '12

Hi! We have a strange behaviour on test upgrade 3.4.4 -> 3.4.7. with adding an item (additem.pl) Select options for all fields that have value >0 (2 or 4 for example) for "hidden" variable in subfield constraints in MARC bibliographic framework are not shown on Additem form. I'm not sure if this is a feature or bug. The only thing that I can see is an addition at around line 203 of additem.pl: if ($subfieldlib->{'hidden'}) { $subfield_data{marc_value} = qq(<input type="hidden" $attributes /> $authorised_lib{$value}); } else { $subfield_data{marc_value} =CGI::scrolling_list( # FIXME: factor out scrolling_list -name => "field_value", -values => \@authorised_values, -default => $value, -labels => \%authorised_lib, -override => 1, -size => 1, -multiple => 0, -tabindex => 1, -id => "tag_".$tag."_subfield_".$subfieldtag."_".$index_subfield, -class => "input_marceditor", ); } If I remove the first IF statement or if I set "hidden" to "0" in MARC bibliographic framework settings for that particular subfield, select options are shown. We have a same issue with 3.6.2 testing Koha. Any suggestions are welcome :). regards, alen -- Alen Vodopijevec (alen(a)irb.hr) Library, Rudjer Boskovic Institute tel.: +385 1 456 0954 (x1293) gsm: +385 98 584 045 http://lib.irb.hr

Dear colleagues We have one customer that have several isbn in the same bib record, their original intention is give at the same record, info of the isbn work.. but also other related isbn ..like study guides to the original work. sample: http://ec2-79-125-63-173.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-… here you have one record with 3 isbn, We think that it should be an analytical record, in the same sample there is one of the analytical.. What would you do? ... leave in 022 and become that field linkable... move to the analytic... any 7XX? any suggest will be welcomed!!!!! -- *Hugo Agud - Orex Digital * *www.orex.es* * * Director Avenida Sarriá 29 · 08029 Barcelona <http://twitter.com/OrexDigital> :<http://orexsl.blogspot.com>hugoaguda - Tel: 93 539 40 70 Fax: 93 539 33 30 hagud(a)orex.es · http://www.orex.es/ No imprima este mensaje a no ser que sea necesario.

Re: [Koha] Deduplicate authorities
by Stefano Bargioni 13 Jan '12

> There is not any authority deduplicator at present included in Koha. I > proposed bug 7419 because it would be very useful to have one, but that > project has not been funded yet. It is possible that someone else has > already written one, in which case I would encourage that person to > contribute said script to the community, 'cause lots of us would love to > have it. IMHO, authority deduplication is similar to authority unlink/link. Consider two terms like "Bargioni, Stefano, 1959-" linked to N1 biblios and "Bargioni, Stefano" linked to N2 biblios. You need to unlink N2 biblios from the second term, i.e. link them to the first one. Deduplication can be automatic, while the step of choosing term-from and term-to for unlink/link biblios must be manual. I added this comment to bug 7419 http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7419. Stefano

Placing holds on multiple volumes that are on a single bib record
by Hillyard, Cecil 13 Jan '12

13 Jan '12

Hi all, We are having a hard time placing multiple holds on bib records that have multiple volumes on the same bibliographic records. Some DVD sets have the discs individually cataloged/barcoded or Serial records that have circulating items. We get the message: Cannot place hold. Patron already has a hold on this item. This shows up even when the next available copy box has been unchecked. Is it possible to place holds for a single patron on multiple volumes/items of a single bibliographic record? Thanks, __________________________ Cecil Hillyard Cataloger Washoe County Library Technical Services P.O. Box 2151 301 S.

Need SQL for a report
by Lesley Kimball 12 Jan '12

12 Jan '12

Hi everyone, I'm having trouble getting onto ByWater Solutions's ticketing system and I didn't find this report in the SQL Reports Library so I thought I would ask the general brain. I need a report to get a list of patrons from 4 different Patron Categories. Has anyone already created something like this? We are using 3.4. Thanks!

Deduplicate authorities
by Paul 12 Jan '12

12 Jan '12

I'm not sure if this query is related to bug 7419, or just something that we are doing wrong (or not doing right.) (Koha v. 3.6.1.) Our cataloguers have started looking at "duplicate authorities" (mainly caused by import of Z39.50 biblios) and editing the biblios by using the drop-down "Tag Editor" at 100$a and "choosing" the one they wish to retain, then deleting the "old|unused" authority. As an example, they started with: Gibbs-Smith, C. H., Details 1 biblio(s) Gibbs-Smith, Charles H., Details 1 biblio(s) Gibbs-Smith, Charles H., 1909- Details 1 biblio(s) Gibbs-Smith, Charles H., 1909-1981 Details 1 biblio(s) Gibbs-Smith, Charles Harvard, 1909- Details 1 biblio(s) Gibbs-Smith, Charles Harvard, 1909-1981 Details 4 biblio(s) and ended with: Gibbs-Smith, Charles Harvard, 1909-1981 Details 1 biblio(s) Gibbs-Smith, Charles Harvard, 1909-1981 Details 1 biblio(s) Gibbs-Smith, Charles Harvard, 1909-1981 Details 1 biblio(s) Gibbs-Smith, Charles Harvard, 1909-1981 Details 1 biblio(s) Gibbs-Smith, Charles Harvard, 1909-1981 Details 1 biblio(s) Gibbs-Smith, Charles Harvard, 1909-1981 Details 4 biblio(s) The incremental zebra (-z) crontab does nothing to deduplicate, nor does a complete zebra authority reindex (-a -r -v), and I have tried additionally (-b -r -v -x) -- no joy. Is there a way to deduplicate? Thanks and regards - Paul
