All, Can anyone who catalogs in Koha using OCLC's Connexion to import records share their workflow strategy with me either on/off list? I did find a mention of Connexion in the list archives but not a lot of detail. Any helps/insights would be appreciated.

Koha admin error

I just installed Koha on my Ubuntu server. I followed instructions from the following Blazing Moon website: http://www.blazingmoon.org/news/2008/12/installing-koha-3-on-ubuntu-810-a-t… Everything went well with the installation, not errors until I tried to run the Koha admin from my browser. I received the following error: Koha error The following fatal error has occurred: Can't locate ZOOM.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/share/koha/lib /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Context.pm line 84.

I am new to Linux but am very comfortable with software installation and troubleshooting. I should also mention that this installation is on the same computer as my sql database, in case that is helpful. I hope someone can help me out.

Koha Library

Hi, Cc Doug, Lucy, Jo My Name is Adam I am currently trying to re-brand your system. However, I have come up-against an issue not with the software but the way something auto generates on a couple of pages. I'm guessing its a JavaScript somewhere on the system. Basically what is happening is on the rendering of the home page there is an auto generated style on the body tag, i have tried searching through all of the files but was unsuccessful in trying to find where this was happening. I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of the correct script so i am able to disable the background styling as it is overwriting my CSS. I will be grateful for any assistance you can give.

No checkout or circulation history in Koha3
by Marty 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

I am really at a loss why I do not have checkout history or circulation history in Koha 3.002.00.007 (or 3.002.00.004 for that matter) There are (many) entries in the statistics table, but if I click on checkout history it will say <title> has never been checked out. Circulation history will only get me what's presently checked out, which is rather useless, I can see that in other places. So, has anybody else this problem, did you solve it and can you tell me how? I know I can find the info in the database (statistics) if I really need it, but I won't let anybody else loose in the database :-) Any pointers are most welcome because I have no idea where to start looking, Thanks, Marty

Re: [Koha] Editing a biblio record

Changing the BiblioAddsAuthorities preference to allow indeed lets me change the locked field (for us it was in series we had issues.)

Very, even. I would suggest a better option would be to click the three dots next to your erroneous 700s, search for an authority (any authority... unfortunately you have to do a search before you can clear a link) and then click the "clear" hyperlink to remove the authority link. This will allow you to continue using authorities and remove the unwanted 700 fields. The reason you're unable to edit the 700$a is that you have BiblioAddsAuthorities set to "don't allow," but even if you set it to "allow," you'll still be unable to remove the data from subfield 700$9. See the manual for a little more information about this system preference: http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/?ch=c19#AEN207 Regards,Jared 2010/11/26 Marty <ontariowolf64(a)yahoo.com> I suspect authority issues, (is the field grayed out?) You can edit all of your frameworks to "unlink" MARC fields to authority types, or if have acces to the database, you could execute: UPDATE marc_subfield_structure SET authtypecode = NULL WHERE authtype IS NOT NULL; A bit drastic but it will get rid of all links to authorities in the frameworks.
