Koha - holds for specific copy - OPACItemHolds
by Linda Culberson 18 May '11

18 May '11

All, Does anyone have holds for specific copies working in Koha OPAC preferences OPACItemHolds ? Set to "Allow" it is to allow "patrons to place holds on specific items in the OPAC. If this is disabled, users can only put a hold on the next available item." Thanks in advance. -- Linda Culberson lculber(a)mdah.state.ms.us Archives and Records Services Division Ms. Dept. of Archives & History P. O.

encoding problem with Armenian records
by Tigran Zargaryan 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hi List, working with 3.4 cataloging, retrieval, display of bibliogrpahic records in Armenian is going fine. In OPAC mode for Armenian records search and retrieval are working fine (Fig.1). After record display, when clicking on any terms from the Subject(s) (fig2), not correct codes are displayed (Fig3). These symbols are not having any relation to Armenian letters. The same is displayed upon stopping mouse on the Author or subjects (see Fig4). Any ideas? thanks, Tigran

Hi everone I am a new user of Koha, just setting up a small database for a special library. I had added some records to my cart when I noticed that I had a duplicate, which I deleted. Now when I try to open the cart I get an error Can't call method "field" on an undefined value at .......koha/C4/Biblio.pm line 1336. I understand this is a reported bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3873 My question - is there a work around? How can I empty my cart?

DOn't ever return them if they are out?
by Hailuodon Kirjasto 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hi, im building a koha to my library in Finland and translating to Finnish. My friend dared me to write you my question re: Koha 3.4.0 Pootle line 138: %s %s: barcode not found%s %s: item withdrawn%s %s: item was on loan. It was returned before marked as seen%s %s: item was on loan. couldn't be returned.%s "item was on loan. It was returned before marked as seen": These are error messages. This sure means that item still gets returned despite status *unseen*? Right? "item was on loan. couldn't be returned" Umm. Uh. What does this mean? I cant figure a context where the latter d be, or make, any sense! Any help here? kind grts, karra -- --- kirjastonhoitajat Kari ja Päivi Hailuodon kunnankirjasto kirjasto(a)hailuoto.fi +358444973565 Luovontie 61 90480 HAILUOTO http://www.hailuoto.fi/sivu/fi/kuntapalvelut/perus/Sivistyspalvelut/kirjast… http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Hailuodon-kirjasto-Hailuoto-Public-Library… http://www.flickr.com/photos/luovonkirjastonhoitaja/ --- Tämä sähköpostiviesti on tarkoitettu vain vastaanottajalle.

A feature I thought I remembered testing
by Nicole Engard 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hello all, I think I'm going crazy cause I could have sworn I tested a development ages ago that made it so that if a message is triggered on checkin you have to acknowledge it before you can check out another item. I'm unable to find this a patch/development/bug on this. So feel free to tell me I have no idea what I'm talking about - or even better if you can point me to what I remember that would be awesome.

Managing ebooks and databases
by Joann Ransom 17 May '11

17 May '11

Good morning my Koha friends, I need some advice. We are running 3.2 and within a few months we will be joing a consortia offering ebooks for download. It will either be Overdrive or a vendor using the Overdrive platform. I am not interesting in discussing how bad / evel etc Overdrive are - I have no choice as practically all of NZ will be joining together into several consortia. My question is how do Koha libraries provide access to ebooks within the Koha OPAC? Ditto with suubscription databases - is there a clever way to manage these in a useful ways for library patrons? Thanks in advance, Cheers Jo. -- Joann Ransom RLIANZA Head of Libraries, Horowhenua Library Trust.

Search has stopped working
by Chris Hobbs 17 May '11

17 May '11

Our search has stopped working in both the staff client and the OPAC. Regardless of the type of search we attempt, we end up with nothing being found. Based on prior similar issues posted on the mailing list, here's what we've confirmed and/or attempted: 1) OpacSuppression is, and has been, set to 'hide', an index exists on 'Suppress' (we use MARC21), and there are currently 84 suppressed biblios in the system. 2) I ran rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -r in the hope that corrupt indexes were the problem. Two distinct [warn]'s pop up ("Index 'any' not found in attset(s)" and "Index 'Heading-Main' not found in attset(s)"), both of which I'm pretty sure we've been receiving since day one, but no errors and the indexing finishes. 3) Nothing in the system has changed recently (in many weeks, in fact). We are running version 3.01.00.140 and planning on upgrading to 3.4 this coming weekend. What do I check next? Thanks! Chris -- Chris Hobbs Director, Technology New Haven Unified School District
