Playing a sound file with bad barcodes
by Cab Vinton 23 Sep '11

23 Sep '11

We've trained our staff to look at the screen as they're checking materials in & out, but every now & then circ staff miss when a barcode is misread. This means that an item is either not properly checked in or not properly checked out. A neat enhancement would be to have Koha play a sound whenever this happens. In the meantime, has anyone used a Greasemonkey script or the like for this purpose? Text of the error messages is as follows: No Item with barcode The barcode was not found Other ideas I may have overlooked?

Koha reservoir problem
by bidwell_p＠usp.ac.fj 23 Sep '11

23 Sep '11

Dear Koha community, I am resending this message as it has not appeared in my inbox and may not be recognising my email address - my apologies if this is your second copy. Please can you help me with this reservoir problem: we recently upgraded to 3.04.02.000 after a server meltdown with the previous version. This is not a live library - I use Koha for teaching cataloguing, and am trying to populate the branch library with downloaded records (so students can learn how to amend them to build their familiarity with the Cataloguing Module). However, all the records I download using Z39.50 are stuck in the reservoir and do not enter the catalogue. In the previous version records went to both locations. Every keyword Catalogue search I do says: No results found Biblios in reservoir There are certainly items in the reservoir, but the only options for these are Preview: MARC/Card and Add Biblio. How do I transfer items from the Reservoir to the Catalogue? I have read the section in the Koha 3.2 manual about Staged MARC Records, but I do not know how to save files with an .mrc file extension, and it would take forever with each record. It worked so neatly before. I could not find anything on this in the Koha 3.4 Manual did I miss something? Viktor mentioned a related problem in a posting in June, but the Bug 3069 (http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3069) he linked to does not have a solution yet. I must be missing something as no library could function with items only showing in the reservoir, and it does not seem to have caused undue concern on the list. Confession: currently I have a large number of unread messages in my Koha email folder, but I cant find anything more in the Koha community archive. I also used the Google search tool set up by Lori, which was helpful but did not locate a fix. There is a 2008 posting which says that rebuild_zebra needs to be running smoothly could that be the problem? My IT guy has just gone home so I cant check. Have we missed something in the setup? How can I get these records transferred easily to the catalogue? There is an assignment on this which is due shortly, so I need to get it fixed soon.
