vanishing contents in lists
by Elaine Bradtke 16 May '11

16 May '11

Currently running Koha 3.2 We have a test site and a production site. The Test site is a clone of the production site. Periodically we replace the test site with a complete copy of the production site. lock stock and barrel. But after the last cloning, the contents of my lists vanished. The lists are there, but they all have 0 entries. I then tried to create a new list by selecting items from search results. . . and nothing was copied over into the list. Lists work fine in the production site, and the contents are all there. . . . Where should we look for the gremlins? I have no idea how the lists work, or where the data is stored. It's possible we missed something and didn't copy it over. . . but even so, shouldn't a newly created list work as it should? -- 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)

How to add additional options to the items search page for label batch creator?
by Indranil Das Gupta 16 May '11

16 May '11

Hi all, My client has a spine label generation requirement, where they want the following options from screen generated by label-item-search.pl a) based on a date range (in which the books are processed) b) based on an accession number range c) based on a class no. (e.g. i want to print the stickers for items with 005 / DDC22) >From what I can see, i think "a" is already catered to. But how about option "b" and "c" Where should i start tinkering around to add that feature... any idea? the label-item-search.pl or the search.tmpl or simply via IntranetUserJS using a bit of jQuery? FWIW, I'm on 3.2.7 and upgrading to 3.4 is not an option at the moment. cheers :) -- Indranil Das Gupta Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://indradg.randomink.org/blog IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.

Koha Installation - Zoom & Yaz Issue
by Ling Zhai 16 May '11

16 May '11

Hi Everyone, I run into a problem installing Koha 3.04.00. And ZOOM 1.28 doesn't seem to load with YAZ 4.1.7. I am using Perl 5.8.8 on Centos 5.5 (64 bit). I also posted my issue here, https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=6819. Any idea would be greatly helpful. If anyone is aware of the working Zoom/YAZ versions to use for Koha, that would be helpful too.

Date entered on file (008 1-5) of duplicated or imported records
by Stefano Bargioni 16 May '11

16 May '11

When adding a new biblio, starting from the import or the duplication of an existing one, Koha uses the previous Date entered on file (008 1-5). I didn't find a bug or enhancement about this. In my opinion, the date must be set to today. I'd like to ear more opinions. Thanks. Stefano

No results in advanced search
by martin caris 15 May '11

15 May '11

Hi, When I do an advanced search, and this with any search fields, Koha gives me this the result : "No match for your search for 'pl, wrdl Namur' In the catalog" This result is for the OPAC and staff client. The simple search is functionnal. Is it because I do not use Zebra or is it a bug? How can I resolve this? Ubuntu 10.10, No Zebra. Thank you. Martin Caris

Need a user friendly Koha users list
by Vimal Kumar 15 May '11

15 May '11

Dear Friends, It seems that users list of Koha is in complete. The reason is that Koha users feel difficult editing wiki pages. http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_Users_Worldwide We need a user friendly interface to enter the details of libraries using Koha. We can follow the model of Libwebcat of Marshal Breeding for new Koha users list, http://www.librarytechnology.org/libwebcats/ This information helpful for libraries they are like to implement Koha soon. Using the information, they can find Koha installed libraries in their own area and can evaluate its performance. Regards, -- Vimal Kumar V.
