Check outs not allowed
by Darla Grediagin 15 Feb '11

15 Feb '11

Good afternoon, We transferred all of our patrons this weekend to Koha 3.0 All the marc records were loaded into the system. I was thinking life was great. Hmmm, something must enter now... whenever we choose a patrons name we get the following message: Checking out to Darla Grediagin (9950040) Cannot Check Out! I know that the patron is current and all required information has been entered into the system. Any ideas why this message may come up? Thanks for any input, Darla -- Darla Grediagin District Librarian Bering Strait School District Unalakleet, Alaska Web Address : http://bssdonline.org/course/view.php?id=51 Blog: http://aklibrarian1.edublogs.org/ OPAC: http://opac.bssd.org:8181/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl

stale authority koha search results
by Peter Huerter 14 Feb '11

14 Feb '11

Hi, I would expect to be able to delete all authorities from Koha like this: bulkmarcimport -a -d rebuild_zebra.pl -a -r After these commands I perform a fresh authority search in Koha for authority "Smith" I get a big list of search results. When I click on one of them it tells me it does not exist ("Can't call method "field" on an undefined value"). This tells me it is a stale list and that somehow my zebra db is serving up stale info - even though the auth_header table is empty in sql. So I stop/start zebrasrv, reboot etc. and still I get the stale search results. I check the logs, and the cron job for rebuild_zebra is running as expected. The only error in koha-zebradaemon-output.log is zebrasrv(1) [warn] Index 'any' not found in attset(s) (it is still not clear to me how to fix this one) Any ideas? Thanks, Pete.

Patron import
by Ann Murphy 14 Feb '11

14 Feb '11

Hi Everyone Our school has installed Koha as our LIS and I think I have a handle on migrating the data. However I am totally failing to understand the import patron process. Can someone point me to more comprehensive instructions than the Koha manual. I keep getting the following error message and I don't know what it means. I should like to be able to tell our techie what is wrong (or indeed If I am doing it wrongly). Feedback: Parsing upload file *Fh::fh00001patron_import1.csv Content-Type : text/csv Content-Disposition : form-data; name="uploadborrowers"; filename="patron_import1.csv" headerrow : Error analysis: Header row could not be parsed We are using Koha version 3.02.03.00 Thanks Ann Murphy amurphy(a)katikaticollege.school.nz

Unimarc to Marc 21
by martin caris 14 Feb '11

14 Feb '11

Hi, Is it possible to change the format in Koha? To replace Unimarc by Marc 21 (I have only five records in my database in Unimarc and I would switch in MARC 21)? Or should I reinstall Koha? Thanks Martin Caris

But these words suggested to me I had probably veered off the path that the righteous take to salvation. So I started again and used the Debian/koha way as much I could figure out how to do. I believe it was a success, zebra works on my installation to find bib items. After two days of sweat, here is a report on how easy it actually is http://openlib.org/home/krichel/courses/lis9012/doc/koha_installation.html You and Lars have done a phantastic job but it is less than phantastically documented. The page above is my humble attempt to contribute something that common mortals can follow. I will try to unleash this on a bunch of MSLIS students on Saturday. I will probably find some more things to tweak on the page. Thanks and cheers, Thomas Krichel http://openlib.org/home/krichel http://authorclaim.org/profile/pkr1 skype: thomaskrichel
