Fwd: Z39.50 Search

I've developed a client (JAVA) to search Z39.50 servers and get records from it. The problem is in the queries sent to the server, and I'm not familiar with the query language. I've checked out in Perl code of Koha and for example for search the title the query is something like this: @attr 1=4 "search word" By the tests I've done, I think that the if the search word is "a*" the search returns the resultset with the records that in the title has at least one word started with a. (@attr 1=4 "a*"). Now I need to pass another queries conditions. Something like: (@attr 1=4 "a*") or (@attr 1=4 "b*"). It's this possible?? All help that you can send to me I'll be tremendously appreciated. Regards.

Koha - changing the item edits screen
by Linda Culberson 26 May '11

26 May '11

All, I apologize for not getting back to everyone about this. We've had a variety of the usual calamities - users with computer viruses, switches and UPS's going bad, hard drive failures... I tried using the ignore setting in the 952 framework but since those two fields (Permanent Location and Current Location) are required/mandatory, it generated an error in my MARC Bibliographic Framework Test. So, I was afraid to use that method even though it did fix the display. I also tried the javascripts supplied by Stefano and Daniel. I think because I had already removed some fields, the column numbers were off, and it didn't display properly. About that time, the stars aligned against me and I decided that this particular problem could wait. Thanks to everyone for your help, and I promise to let everyone know how this turns out, assuming the viruses and system failures don't get to me first.

Customisation in Staff Clinet Interface of Koha
by R Sunil Kumar 26 May '11

26 May '11

Dear All, Is there any way we can customize the client interface and rearrange all the modules as per the requirement of the client. There are some module like acquisition and serial control which is primarily not required by the library. And features like administration, lists, tools, global preference can be moved under single menu (Administration). Can we have multiple CSS files for a single installation for both staff client interface and web OPAC. We would like to know any individual/company who has worked on the same. Thanks and Regards R Sunil Kumar Library Technologist Ecole_Logo_LR4 Ecole Solutions Pvt Ltd Level 15 Concorde Towers UB City 1 Vittal Mallya Road Bangalore 560001,India Mobile: +91 9686576695 Fax: +91 80 40300400 eMail: sunil.kumar <http://@ecoleglobal.com/> @ecoleglobal.com Web: <http://www.ecoleglobal.com/> www.ecoleglobal.com

Z39.50 Search
by Vitor Fernandes 26 May '11

26 May '11

Hi there Koha community, I've one question about Z39.50, which is not directly related with Koha. If I search in Koha for titles with "a" in the Z39.50 search, what is returned? Records with the word "a" in the title? Records with the letter "a" in the title or words started by "a"? This question it's because I need to do a query to one Z39.50 server that returns me the records with at least one word started with "a". If someone can help me, i would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Vitor Fernandes

Koha - changing the item edits screen
by Linda Culberson 26 May '11

26 May '11

All, In 3.2 item edits screen I know that you can hide some of the fields in the the <div id="cataloguing_additem_newitem"> part of the form by using the frameworks, but can anyone tell me how to hide a column in the <div id="cataloguing_additem_itemlist"> part at the top part of the page? We only have one branch, and so we really don't need the 'Permanent Location" and "Current Location" columns to show up, or if we did, we'd only need one of them. I tried the various "visibility conditions" in the frameworks, but couldn't get them to hide in the top part where the items are listed. I know this is picky, but I want our catalogers to like Koha, so I'm really working on getting my frameworks customized to be the way they want them. Thanks in advance. -- Linda Culberson lculber(a)mdah.state.ms.us Archives and Records Services Division Ms. Dept. of Archives & History P. O.

Using different port
by Marius Stoica 26 May '11

26 May '11

Hi there, I've installed koha-common debian package on a debian stable machine, but I am using a different port to access the stuff client and also the opac because I am behind a modem that already has the ports 80 and 8080 assigned to another server. Anyway It seems that zebra is not working after importing the database: searching gives no results. Do I have to configure zebra or pazpar2 for using a different port? Thanks Marius

Zebra: to daemon, or not to daemon
by Doug Dearden 25 May '11

25 May '11

Hello all, The FAQ regarding searching found here: http://koha-community.org/documentation/faq/searching/ contains the following caution: 4. Be sure you are *not* running the zebraqueue daemon. Currently this daemon has major problems and the recommended method of indexing is to run rebuild_zebra.pl as a cron job. Running both causes more problems. Is this still true with the latest 3.4.1 release? (Another post in this list made me wonder). Thanks, Doug Dearden Director, IT School for Advanced Research (505)954-7220 sarweb.org
