Hello I'm testing Koha, I downloaded the Virtual Machine preconfigured. I inserting some books and all works fine... but the problem is when I try to Place Hold a book, appear this warning message: "Sorry, none of these items can be placed on hold." I read the documentation and I understood I have to configure the Circulation and fines rules. But I don't now why is not working... in the printscreen there is my configuration http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/8498/koha.png Thanks for your support Daniel -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Enable-Place-Hold-tp4263708p4263708.html Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Do you have Koha consulting experience and good knowledge of Koha internals? The University of Notre Dame would like to bring a Koha consultant on campus for a week or so to help us learn how to properly set up a Community Koha instance, migrate a branch library from PTFS Koha to Community Koha, and properly configure Koha for the branch's needs. Additionally, we'd use your time to get some baseline training on supporting Koha from both a systems administration and application administration viewpoint.

Question about wiki instructions for installing Koha
by Buster 25 Mar '11

25 Mar '11

Hi, all. This is my 4th attempt to install Koha on Ubuntu and I am being extra careful that I do it right. I'm using the wiki page at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Ubuntu and am now at step 7 of the installation. I need to know what to do about the following command: GRANT ALL ON kohadata.* TO 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; Do I just copy and paste this as-is, or do I enter different values for "root", "localhost", "password", etc? Thanks in advance for your kind assistance. -- ================================================== "The man, who, by his own and his family's labour, can provide a sufficiency of food and raiment and a comfortable dwelling place, is not a poor man."--William Cobbett, *Cottage Economy*, 1826.

New items location Proc
by library 24 Mar '11

24 Mar '11

Kia ora koutou All my items being 'new' (because I have imported them into Koha recently) are marked as Proc in the shelf location field. Is there any way I can change them to 'cart' besides scanning them all in one at a time in order for them to go back to their normal locations. As I issue each item it appears to be deleting the location field. I have found how to restore the fields doing a sql search, but I don't really want to be doing this for the whole collection.

Export/Import question from Alice 5.0
by Richard Eibrand 23 Mar '11

23 Mar '11

Hi there, We are looking to moving from Alice 5.0 to Koha. To that end, I have been playing around with getting our data exported from Alice and imported into Koha. The guts of the problem are this: - After exporting a MARC variant file from Alice, and importing it into Alice, the MAIN ENTRY--PERSONAL NAME field is populated with what appears to be todays date, with frey 50 after it, e.g. Personal name 20110321 frey50 - instead of Personal name Koha_author as it was entered in Alice. - I used MARCedit to have a look at my export files, and this is what I am getting: =LDR 00354nam 22001451a 4500 =020 \\$c0.00 =040 \\$aRoyal College of Physicians of Ireland =082 \\$bKOH =100 \\$aKoha_Author =245 \\$aKoha_Title$h[Text] =250 \\$aKoha_Edition =260 \\$bKoha_Publisher$cKoha_Year =300 \\$aKoha_Physical Description =500 \\$aKoha_Notes =600 \\$aKoha_Subject But this is what I am getting back once the import has completed and the index re-indexed, which is all correct except for the MAIN ENTRY LINE 000 -LEADER fixed length control field 00404nam a22001571a 4500 INTERNATIONAL STANDARD BOOK NUMBER Terms of availability 0.00 CATALOGING SOURCE Original cataloging agency Royal College of Physicians of Ireland DEWEY DECIMAL CLASSIFICATION NUMBER Item number KOH MAIN ENTRY--PERSONAL NAME Personal name 20110321 frey50 TITLE STATEMENT Title Koha_Title Medium [Text] EDITION STATEMENT Edition statement Koha_Edition PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION, ETC. (IMPRINT) Name of publisher, distributor, etc Koha_Publisher Date of publication, distribution, etc Koha_Year PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION Extent Koha_Physical Description GENERAL NOTE General note Koha_Notes I have tried with all the export formats available to me, namely, 02USMARC, 04USMARC with Copy information and 50 USMARC (Containing TLC Compulsory tags) from Alice. I have also imported them as both UNIMARC or MARC21 - but to no avail. Would anyone have any suggestions?
