Koha - copying frameworks
by Linda Culberson 25 Apr '11

25 Apr '11

All, We have two instances of Koha. I finally found all of my errors my frameworks in one instance (it is in 3.2) and now want to copy those corrected frameworks over to my second instance which we just upgraded to 3.4. How is the easiest way to do that? Dumping the whole database seems overkill, but I'm not sure what tables are involved besides biblio_framework and marc_subfield_structure. Is there a relatively simple way of doing this? Thanks! -- Linda Culberson lculber(a)mdah.state.ms.us Archives and Records Services Division Ms. Dept. of Archives & History P. O.

Re: [Koha] Problem Setting the Renewal Field on Item Types
by Kyle Noakes 25 Apr '11

25 Apr '11

Thank you for your ideas. My apologies for not including the version of Koha I am running. I am currently at 3.02.06. When I go to the Circulation Rules and Fines area, I am unable to add an issuing rule. I am able to save the setting for "Total Current Checkouts Allowed" (middle option on the page), but am unable to save the area with Fine Amount, Fine Days, Fine Grace Period, etc. After I select the library fill in the various fields, and click add, everything on the page resets to Default and blank fields without adding a record. Any more ideas would be greatly apprciated. I also have the System Preference for AllowRenewalLimitOverride set to On, which does give me the checkbox for overriding renewals on a patrons issues tab. After checking the Override Renewal Limit box and selecting the Renew box for the item, I click "Renew or Return Checked Items. The page then refreshes and gives a Renewal Error for the item. Although I am skeptical that it would have helped, I would have updated to 3.4 over the weekend if I had noticed the message go out about it just to see if that did anything. Thank you, Kyle Noakes Manager of Information Systems East Grand Rapids Public Schools >>> Liz Rea <lrea(a)nekls.org> 4/20/2011 12:49 PM >>> I believe a recent change to Koha moved the renewals out of the item type definition, and into the circulation rules. The rules for renewals by item type are now located in the circulation rules (where they properly belong, imo) and can be edited through that interface. This tripped us up on a recent upgrade as well, so you're not alone. :) You didn't say which version you were running, so I can't be totally sure about this. If this seems wrong, holler back and we'll try to troubleshoot more.

I am also unable to add a new item type with the "Renewals" field set. Does anyone have any ideas of why this particular field would not save, but other fields in Item Types Administration would? In the past I have had a similar situation with saving something in Administration. When it happened previously, I was able to locate the table and field in Mysql and update it manually. I am unable to find where the "Renewals" field is in the database as it is not located in the itemtypes table. Any help on the location of the Renewals field would be greatly appreciated.

Koha 3.4.0 released
by Chris Cormack 25 Apr '11

25 Apr '11

Kia ora tatou The Koha development team is happy to announce the release of Koha 3.4.0. Koha 3.4.0 is a major feature release that contains major changes to underlying architecture (adoption of Template::Toolkit for templating) and performance enhancements (removal of item data from biblio records). These changes, in addition to the inclusion of many new features, mean a lot of new strings for translators to translate. For these reasons we recommend that people who are already running Koha in production delay their upgrade until 3.4.1, due May 22, to give the translators time to finish, and for the removing of item data to be streamlined. If you do wish to upgrade please make sure you read the UPGRADE section of the INSTALL document. The development team would like to thank all the people who have made this release possible. Please take time to read the release notes.

Can one get WYSIWYG interface for koha as a cms?
by Robert Lyon 21 Apr '11

21 Apr '11

Hi I've added the changes to make koha as a CMS ( seen here: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_as_a_CMS ) and I was wondering if anyone had made the Value field on the systempreferences.pl page use something like TinyMCE rather than a plain textarea box? Or if even that is possible? Any advice would be great Thanks Bob
