Chris (and Jane), Thanks for replying, but not what we are looking for. The main reason to change is that a search at Library and Archives Canada <http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/illcandir-bin/illsear/l=0/c=1> relies on "OPIACS" and anyone searching for "CaOPIACS" cannot find us in the ILL system; also OPIACS is our "authority." What we have done is to set up a second library called OPIACS (totally identical to the first CaOPIACS), but now, despite being prompted to delete the first one, it just will not delete. So the question is - should I just grep CaOPIACS and replace wherever found, or is there a more elegant and reliable (non-gui) method? We do not care at this point about "borrowers table, items table, accountlines, reserves, etc" because we have reentered all our holdings (with OPIACS as required in the data) in the second (valid) library after purging all biblio and item records in the first, and so far have not entered any patron, budget, etc data -- so there is nothing to lose. I am sure we'll be purging again; we're in "pre-production mode" and refining our MarcEdit templates and mappings, and even 20,000 books only take a couple of minutes to delete and reload (plus zebra cron job.) Many thanks - Paul

Problem uploading MARC records
by Darla Grediagin 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

Good afternoon all, I have been getting the following message when I upload records to stage for import "SyntaxError: missing ; before statement" I have clean MARC records that I have used MARC edit to swap fields in. I have used the MARC edit feature to check for mistakes. If you have seen this statement, please let me know how you solved your problem. I am uploading records to a new install of Koha 3.00.06.010.

Editing library code
by Paul 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

Happy new year to all. Q: How do I edit our "Library Code" (koha-admin / branches / modify library), please? It does not appear in an editable text-box. [we originally - and erroneously - entered our code with the "Canadian prefix" Ca, as CaOPIACS, and now need only OPIACS.] Thanks - Paul tired old sys-admin

Re: [Koha] Cannot save edited patron info in koha (but I can in mysql)
by Chris Cormack 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

Hi Marty As usual we also need to the version of Koha you are running, I can confirm editing patrons works fine in 3.2.2 for me. Also check your error logs if it isn't saving there is a good chance a database error is being thrown this will be in the error log. Chris On 27 Dec 2010 08:08, "Marty" <ontariowolf64(a)yahoo.com> wrote: This might be a permissions thing, but I am not sure. When I edit a patron's information I can change all fields I need to, but after the information has been 'saved' nothing has changed (When I am logged in as a superlibrarian) I can play in mysql and do a 'UPDATE borrowers SET city = 'Keswick' WHERE borrowernumber = 1234; This results in the changes info showing up in Koha, but I need this working in Koha, so the librarians can change patron info. As usual, any ideas are appreciated.

Re: [Koha] LDAP authentication
by Scott Owen 03 Jan '11

Vitor, Here is my working LDAP config. section Differences that jump out at me: I use the IP rather than the FQDN for the LDAP server. No auth_by_bind section at all.....and my LDAP auth works fine. Can you access your LDAP directory with other LDAP tools? (Softerra LDAP browser?) ************************************** <useldapserver>1</useldapserver>  <ldapserver id="ldapserver" listenref="ldapserver"> <hostname>10.1.1.7</hostname> <base>T=********</base> <user>*************</user>  <pass>*************</pass>  <replicate>1</replicate>  <update>0</update>  <mapping>  <firstname is="givenname" ></firstname> <surname is="sn" ></surname> <address is="" >Alma Public Schools</address> <city is="" >Alma</city> <zipcode is="" >48801</zipcode> <branchcode is="" >PINE</branchcode> <userid is="cn" ></userid> <password is="" ></password> <email is="mail" ></email> <categorycode is="" >PT</categorycode> <phone is="telephonenumber"></phone> </mapping> </ldapserver> ************************************************** >>> Vitor Fernandes<vitorfernandes87(a)gmail.com> 12/28/2010 10:11 AM >>> Hi there.

z39.50 search not working
by Caitlin McGurk 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

Hi All, Our library is having a mass volunteer-based cataloging session today to get all of our collection into our new Koha database, and for some reason the Z39.50 Search is not working. This is nearly an emergency, as I have a staff of volunteers waiting to help! Eeek. It was working fine for the past month, but now when I click on it nothing happens. Suggestions?? Thank you! -- Caitlin McGurk *Librarian The Schulz Library The Center for Cartoon Studies <http://www.cartoonstudies.org> McGurk(a)cartoonstudies.org*

Problem with prediction pattern in Serials
by Peel Lisa 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

Hello And a belated Happy New Year ! I have a very small problem but one which I cannot find an easy resolution for. I set up most of our serials at the end of last year -several of my serials should now roll over into the next year or volume number (for example, vol 194, no 1 or 2011/1). However, though they are rolling back to number 1 they are not rolling forward by 1 as far as the volume number and/or year is concerned. One example is the pattern for a serial using the year/number pattern Everything looks fine on the predication pattern - when I go into the advanced pattern for X (volume or year) the pattern is: Add 1 Once every 12 When more than 9999999 Inner counter 2 Set back to 0 Last value 2010 Should the fact that the first issues checked in was actually 2010/10 have an impact? I am wondering if the 'once every' does not mean issue number (Y) but the actual number of issues which have to be checked in. If this is the case, would I then have to edit the pattern again as I would have to set it to 2 to get it to roll over to 2011, and then change it back to 12 so it would not go to 2012 in March! Golly, I hope this makes some sense to someone! Any help would be really appreciated!
