Koha zebra indexed fields
by Linda Culberson 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

All, Sorry, yet another newbie question. Is there a way to change which fields are indexed by Zebra in Koha 3.2? I found in the documentation which fields are, but I can't find where (or if) the indexes can be changed. Thanks! -- Linda Culberson lculber(a)mdah.state.ms.us Archives and Records Services Division Ms. Dept. of Archives& History P. O.

Autobar code question
by Fogg, Shawn (DPH) 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Hi, I am trying to move to Koha and have imported our catalog at this point. In Koha administration if autobarcode is set to "generate in the form of 1,2,3" does Koha simply start and 1 and count up or will it make sure that the barcode it is generating is not already in use (from my imported records) and keep incrementing till it finds an unused code? Thanks, Shawn

Dispaly of Tags 780 and 785
by Colin Campbell 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

This is a cataloguing question: in the MARC21slim2OPACDetail.xsl xslt file the parentheses characters i.e. ( and ) are stripped from tags 780 and 785 in display. Is there some special reason for doing so? Otherwise I would have thought these should be retained for display Cheers Colin -- Colin Campbell Chief Software Engineer, PTFS Europe Limited Content Management and Library Solutions +44 (0) 208 366 1295 (phone) +44 (0) 7759 633626 (mobile) colin.campbell(a)ptfs-europe.com skype: colin_campbell2 http://www.ptfs-europe.com

Independent libraries

IndependantBranches Don't prevent Prevent staff (but not superlibrarians) from modifying objects (holds, items, patrons, etc.) belonging to other libraries. Having done the setting above and allowed one of the patrons to have the below right to modify the login and / permission for staff users he is not a super-librarian for i want him to control only users in his library. staffaccess Modify login / permissions for staff users With the above rights he still can make himselp a super-librarian and make other users super-librarians and modify settings of other libraries. Is there a way of controlling and preventing a user who is not a super librarian to only modify login / permission for staff users in one library? Thanks Stephen

Can't you do a simple find and replace? First, are spaces allowed in the 10 character CCODE? Are there any other restrictions (numerics, underlines, hyphens, etc)? I find nothing (easily) in the documentation. As a comparison, the LOC code allows 80 characters including (at least) spaces. For various historical reasons we have nearly two hundred "categories" spread across 468 spreadsheets - that would be a possible 100,000 "simple search and replace" operations ;={ and I've never had much success with Perl looking for entries in a specific column of a spreadsheet where obviously the "category name" could also appear in the title, keywords and reviews which we obviously do not want to modify. So I'll probably end up attempting to modify the SQL parameter for field length (a task which, from past experience with Oracle, I am not looking forward to.) This is the first major hiccough we have encountered with the data migration and at the moment is a show-blocker. Thanks to you all - all suggestions, etc are warmly welcomed. Paul

Koha hidden subfields showing in opac
by Linda Culberson 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

We are on version 3.02.00.007, and I have the 590a set to where it says "Tab:5, Not repeatable, Not mandatory, hidden," with the hidden value set to 4, which I thought meant it did not show up in the opac, but it does indeed appear. I thought that 4 => !OPAC Intranet Editor !Collapsed meant "not visible in OPAC, visible in intranet editor not collapsed" Could someone tell me what I've done wrong? Thanks in advance. -- Linda Culberson lculber(a)mdah.state.ms.us Archives and Records Services Division Ms. Dept. of Archives& History P. O.

Control number fields (001)
by Elaine Bradtke 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

Is there a way to auto generate 001 fields in Koha? We already have numbers that came in with uploaded records from our old database. Anything we download will likely have a control number from the original cataloguing agency - which I'm thinking of modifying by adding a letter prefix, so it can't possibly duplicate what we've already got in the system. But what about original cataloguing? I'd hate to think we just have to guess. . . Just off the top of my head, using YYYYMMDD followed by a two digit sequential number should do the trick. But it would be a lot easier if something like that could be auto generated. It's unlikely we would ever have more than one person cataloguing at once, but one never knows. -- Elaine Bradtke Data Wrangler VWML English Folk Dance and Song Society | http://www.efdss.org Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent's Park Road, London NW1 7AY Tel +44 (0) 20 7485 2206 ext 36 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Registered Company No. 297142 Charity Registered in England and Wales No. 305999 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Writing about music is like dancing about architecture" --Elvis Costello (Musician magazine No. 60 (October 1983), p. 52)
