Cost replacement Price Doesn't Show

Dear Koha, We finally just had our version 2.8 upgraded to 3.2 last week. However, a feature (above subject) or rather field does not cooperate even given the price replacement cost instruction. The field shows 0.00 (if searched) even when a price is entered in add biblio or edit. Please help.

Circulation checkout date incorrectly set
by Bob Birchall 06 Feb '11

06 Feb '11

A school in Sydney has a circulation rule for staff and numerous rules for various categories of students. The default rule takes the (much longer) staff issue period. When checking out to a student, the return date is set to the date calculated from the default rule. That is, the rule for the specific patron category seems to be ignored. Koha 3.02.02; circ rules, sys prefs, calendar and patron records all appear to be in order. Nothing in the koha log. Has anyone seen this behaviour? Many thanks, Bob Birchall CALYX

Re: [Koha] Discovery Tool VuFind implementation at BRAC University
by Chris Cormack 05 Feb '11

05 Feb '11

Hi Hasina Very cool :) Are you accepting suggestions/patches? One thing I would suggest is using Koha's ILS-DI API rather than direct database calls. This will mean it will obey the system preferences, and other settings, and will be less likely to break. http://opac.koha.workbuffer.org/cgi-bin/koha/ilsdi.pl Chris hasina(a)bracu.ac.bd wrote: > >Dear All >I like to inform you that BRAC Univesity library in Bangladesh has >successfully implemented discovery Tool VuFind >(http://library.bracu.ac.bd/vufind) >We have integrated VuFind with KOHA,Dspace and ejournals and databases.

How guided reports choose limit options
by Owen Leonard 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

When creating guided reports, how does Koha choose which options to display on Step 4 of 6: "Select Criteria to Limit on?" If I have selected a date-related field in Step 3 (in my case datelastseen), shouldn't Koha give me the option of choosing how to limit based on that field? Thanks, -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org

Koha Con 2011
by mohan pradhan 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

Dear Thomas, Thanks for explaining my queries. Regarding Your query about What do you mean by "country wise instead of institution wise"? It means to have a good attendance representing from different countries, priority should be given to the place which was chosen by different countries people instead of chosen by voters of the same or few countries. In the present system, this method of ranking should also be counted. Mohan Raj Pradhan Message: 3 Date: Fri, 4 Feb 2011 09:50:39 -0000 (UCT) From: "Thomas Dukleth" <kohalist(a)agogme.com> Subject: Re: [Koha] Vote for Koha Con 2011 To: "mohan pradhan" <pradhmohan(a)gmail.com> Cc: koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz Message-ID: <6d2ffacb08b539ee329a6cec62948eb7.squirrel(a)wmail.agogme.com> Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8 The first important thing to do for an international Koha conference is to choose a location and dates as far in advance as possible to allow people to have travel expenses approved as part of an annual budget process. Planning a year in advance is what I understand is most helpful to librarians. As we are behind the ideal advanced planning time, starting the voting immediately after the last #koha meeting took precedence over considering voting methods or ballot design carefully. However, the choice of venue and dates is a low value issue for the community as a whole. The high value issue for the community as a whole is helping to ensure good attendance by giving the maximum opportunity for advanced planning by librarians. Over future years, every place where there is a serious interest in Koha will have an opportunity to host an international KohaCon. I have continued to add information to each of the proposals on the wiki page at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon2011_Proposals to help inform voter choice.

The next time we construct a ballot we could certainly add more fields for collecting information about who voted. In this ballot, people can certainly add a country name or anything else to the institution name field which may be helpful in identifying the institution. >.The ranking system should also be made publicly open > just like the present system i.e. whenever a vote is given.

Advanced registration is an obstacle to voting which we should avoid as long as a we can have completely open voting untainted. The Koha community has not yet attracted enough interest to have people playing games with votes. >There should also be a system to give weightage system for > counting vote. A particular method of counting the preference votes has not been established in advance but as I stated above the choice of venue and date is a low value issue for the community at large relative to choosing well in advance. We may have the same winner no matter what preference counting system we use. In the Koha foundation forming vote, M J Ray analysed the votes using all the reasonable preference voting methods. In future, we are liable to adopt a standard voting method for votes. We have been discussing score (range) voting in the context of a forthcoming vote for upgrading the Koha copyright license. Score voting has some difficulties over strategy which I raised, http://lists.katipo.co.nz/pipermail/koha/2011-February/027439.html . I am going to post a scheme to remedy to some difficulties of score voting but there had not been time to discuss a new voting scheme for the KohaCon 2011 vote. > It should be country wise instead of Institution wise. Either preference voting with a ranked ballot or score voting with assigning scores would avoid problems where people prefer a particular country as a venue but divide their votes between multiple candidate venues from the same country. However, as you are from Nepal with only one candidate venue, I suspect that you mean something different. What do you mean by "country wise instead of institution wise"?

some problems
by Nitesh Rijal 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

Dear all. I have been continuosly been developing a LIVE CD with Koha and GSDL integrated in it. Everything was fine until I upgraded to Koha-3.02.02. Please see the problems and suggest me if there is something that can be done. 1. If the database that koha uses is not empty, i.e. it has all the tables, then while running the web interface should it ask me for web installer? I think it should not, but it is asking. 2. I have made some changes in the database, i.e. added few system preferences of my own, for the integration and the table of content thing. Also I have added a new authorized value for fulltext link. The problem is that after the web installation, system preferences are not there while authorized value that I added are there. Is this normal? 3. I have deleted all the biblio records and biblio items from the database, then I imported a new set of marc record using bulkmarc import, using the "-d" switch as well. But still the results are shown in the search. After deleting the entries in zebraqueue table in the database, the results are not seen, but then the count of the result is still shown. Even if there are only 17 records in the system, it shows 29 of 17 records. What may be the solution to this? Please help me in these points. Regards.

Apache documentation

I'm having some install/setup problems with Apache that are probably all documented somewhere but I just have not come across it yet. Is there a good document which explains how to set up a generic Apache server and tie in the koha Apache includes properly. And then gives me a good understanding of what URL's should work when things are running properly?
