MARC view in OPAC won't switch off
by Elaine Bradtke 19 May '11

19 May '11

Our corporate stylesheet mangles the MARC view in the OPAC. Fixing this problem is way down on the priority list (and not in the budget), and most OPAC users don't use this feature. So I decided to turn off the MARC view in the OPAC Under System Preferences, Local Use OPACvieMARC there's an option allow or disallow the display of MARC view of bibiographic records in OPAC. I set it to off, and saved it, but it still displays. Is there something else I need to change? We're running 3.02.06.000 - and will probably upgrade to 3.4 in the next couple weeks. If this works in the newer version, I won't fret about it. -- Elaine Bradtke Data Wrangler VWML English Folk Dance and Song Society | http://www.efdss.org Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent's Park Road, London NW1 7AY Tel +44 (0) 20 7485 2206 ext 36 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Registered Company No. 297142 Charity Registered in England and Wales No. 305999 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Writing about music is like dancing about architecture" --Elvis Costello (Musician magazine No. 60 (October 1983), p. 52)

Titles that we only have 1 copy/item of that have the status of being a trapped hold (waiting), show as "no holds allowed" when you search for them in a general way that produces a list of records (as opposed to searching for it by barcode). So, if the item "Uncoupling" by Meg Wolitzer (which we only own one copy of) is trapped & waiting to be picked up, if we do a search in either the staff client or the OPAC for "Wolitzer" -- a list of her books comes up and each one has the link below it to place a hold except for the one that is trapped (Uncoupling) and that one says "no holds allowed". You can place a hold on it in other ways (through checking the box and then clicking place hold, or in staff client by bringing up the item and placing a hold directly). So, we can get around it, but it is unlikely that most of our patrons using the OPAC will go any farther than seeing "no holds allowed." Has anyone else dealt with this?

Calculating Fines by the hour
by sheldon_tappin 18 May '11

18 May '11

Hi All, I have noticed that koha calculate fines per day (issuing and fine rules). Is there an option to calculate the fines by the hour. At our library we need that functionality. If its not currently possible, can you tell me which table(s) are affected for fines, so that I can write a script to calculate them by the hour.

multilingual interface question
by "Γιάννης Κουρμούλη ς (Giannis Kourmoulis)" 18 May '11

18 May '11

Dear all We are testing koha for our library and we have a second language installed (Greek) for the interface. There seems to be an inconsistency though and i would like to ask: Is there a way (and if not, are there any plans to implement this feature) to set two different names for a branch, item type, borrower type etc? For our current installation (3.4) we use this branch name: Physics Department Library - Βιβλιοθήκη Τμήματος Φυσικής but we would like to use this branch name en: Physics Department Library branch name el: Βιβλιοθήκη Τμήματος Φυσικής and the correct name to be displayed when the user changes the language setting. thank you -- ------------------------------------------------------- Γιάννης Κουρμούλης |Giannis Kourmoulis Σύστημα Βιβλιοθηκών Α.Π.Θ. |Library System A.U.Th.

The Pontificio Istituto di Archeologia Cristiana of Rome (piac) is proud to announce that Koha has been choosed and installed as Library Management System of the Library. This is an important step because it is the first approach to the electronic management of the library resources. The Insitute is a member of URBE - Unione Romana Biblioteche Ecclesiastiche in Rome - Italy. Since February 1st. has been started the retrospective cataloguing work. The OPAC at the moment contains only about 2.000 records and it can be reached at http://piac.urbe.it. Many thanks to Koha Community, particularly to Zeno Tajoli who contribute with a lot of suggestions for the setting up of the system. Best Regards to all of you!
