Koha in three words
by M. Brooke Helman 10 Nov '10

10 Nov '10

Salvete! At Conference I collected a mess of slips of paper containing what Koha meant to community members in 3 words in order to help with planning. If you missed Conference or didn't hand me your ideas, it's not too late! Send me 3 words you associate with Koha: they can reflect reality or an ideal state. I'll be compiling the results and will post them back to the list Friday next. Cheers, Brooke

link broken in /etc/apache2/sites-available/koha
by kevinjns5＠gmail.com 10 Nov '10

10 Nov '10

Hello, I am in the middle of installing koha 3.02 (?) onto an ubuntu 10.04 I am following the instructions given in the: Installation guide for installing koha on ubuntu lucid lynx 10.04 lts. At line 171 perl Makefile.PL ( answer questions ) $ make $ make test $ sudo make install I passed the test and entered 'sudo make install' After adjusting the apache2 ports.conf file I tried to: $ sudo a2enmod rewrite $ sudo a2ensite koha $ sudo apache2ctl restart I commented out # the NameVirtualHost *:80 line. Koha is not accessible from any browser. I notice that in the etc/apache2/sites-available file that the koha link has a cross next to it, and is not accessible. this is the message: This link cannot be used, because its target "/etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf" doesn't exist. How can I rectify? If I need to create another link how do I do that? Thanks Kevin Jones

Hi, in our library we have some "internal" book. We want that only some categories of users can see, search, ... them. Is there any way to configure that? Piotr

Re: [Koha] Technical Committee--Option to Fork -- Solr and al.
by Olivier Speciel 09 Nov '10

So there is a new search engine around the block, some clients really need it. (did you mention to them the Constellio open source product ? (Solr+Nutch...) Might be a real improvement, but i haven't read the performance analysis yet, any primary sources ? Works just fine with Resources Description Access, RDF ? SKOS ? SPARQL ? ..... If your clients need Alfresco, indeed, why not forking this product instead ?

If we really would like to deal with both, the correct way to do it would be to rewrite for both solR and zebra. Keeping the zebra API&behaviour and using solR instead is just a no-no. -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08 _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha

Koha - Trouble loading patron files
by Linda Culberson 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

I'm having trouble bulk loading patrons files into Koha 3.2. I used the same file I used in 3.1 with no success, so I did one manually, and then set everything to match that. I got the same errors in 3.2. both times: In the staff client, I get that the record was " not imported because they are not in the expected format" and then Critical field "surname" missing (borrowernumber: UNDEF; surname: UNDEF). I have headerrow copied from the "Import Patrons" page: 'surname', 'firstname', 'title', 'othernames', 'initials', 'streetnumber', 'streettype', 'address', 'address2', 'city', 'zipcode', 'country', 'email', 'phone', 'mobile', 'fax', 'emailpro', 'phonepro', 'B_streetnumber', 'B_streettype', 'B_address', 'B_address2', 'B_city', 'B_zipcode', 'B_country', 'B_email', 'B_phone', 'dateofbirth', 'branchcode', 'categorycode', 'dateenrolled', 'dateexpiry', 'gonenoaddress', 'lost', 'debarred', 'contactname', 'contactfirstname', 'contacttitle', 'guarantorid', 'borrowernotes', 'relationship', 'ethnicity', 'ethnotes', 'sex', 'password', 'flags', 'userid', 'opacnote', 'contactnote', 'sort1', 'sort2', 'altcontactfirstname', 'altcontactsurname', 'altcontactaddress1', 'altcontactaddress2', 'altcontactaddress3', 'altcontactzipcode', 'altcontactcountry', 'altcontactphone', 'smsalertnumber', 'privacy', 'patron_attributes' My record is: 'Crawford', 'Taz', '', 'Tazmo', '', '', '', '150 Our Street', '', 'Yazoo City, MS', '39194', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', 'DAH', '01', '11/05/2010', '11/05/2011', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', 'Tazmo', '', '11111', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '1', 'CountyCode:yz,PhotoID:Tx VetId 0042201,StateCode:01' In the /var/log/koha/koha-error_log [Fri Nov 05 09:56:43 2010] [error] [client 10.8.5.33] [Fri Nov 5 09:56:43 2010] import_borrowers.pl: Use of uninitialized value $keycol in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/tools/import_borrowers.pl line 124, <fh00001mytest.csv> line 1., referer: http://koha.mdah.state.ms.us:8080/cgi-bin/koha/tools/import_borrowers.pl [Fri Nov 05 09:56:43 2010] [error] [client 10.8.5.33] [Fri Nov 5 09:56:43 2010] import_borrowers.pl: Use of uninitialized value $keycol in hash element at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/tools/import_borrowers.pl line 125, <fh00001mytest.csv> line 1., referer: http://koha.mdah.state.ms.us:8080/cgi-bin/koha/tools/import_borrowers.pl [Fri Nov 05 09:56:43 2010] [error] [client 10.8.5.33] [Fri Nov 5 09:56:43 2010] import_borrowers.pl: Use of uninitialized value $csvcolumns[0] in join or string at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/tools/import_borrowers.pl line 133, <fh00001mytest.csv> line 1., referer: http://koha.mdah.state.ms.us:8080/cgi-bin/koha/tools/import_borrowers.pl So I looked at import_borrowers.pl and those lines are 122 foreach my $keycol (@csvcolumns) { 123 # columnkeys don't contain whitespace, but some stupid tools add it 124 $keycol =~ s/ +//g; 125 $csvkeycol{$keycol} = $col++; 126 } 127 #warn($borrowerline); 128 my $ext_preserve = $input->param('ext_preserve') || 0; 129 if ($extended) { 130 $matchpoint_attr_type = C4::Members::AttributeTypes->fetch($matchpoint); 131 } 132 133 push @feedback, {feedback=>1, name=>'headerrow', value=>join(', ', @csvcolumns)}; Any help would be appreciated. -- Linda Culberson lculber(a)mdah.state.ms.us Archives and Records Services Division Ms. Dept. of Archives& History P.

Authority records searching and deleting
by Elaine Bradtke 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Two questions. In 3.2 1) Is there any way for an authority search to include the used for /see from fields in authority records for topical terms. In other words if someone searches on the incorrect form, it will bring up the record for the correct form (if I've included it)? 2) I have a couple terms that need to be deleted from the authority file. I deleted one, but I can't seem to delete any more. A little pop up comes up asking if I'm sure I want to delete this authority. I click OK, and then if I look again, it's still there (I reloaded the page first). -- 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)

Koha: searching for access points in cataloging
by Linda Culberson 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

I apologize if I'm not stating my problem clearly, but I'd like to hear from some other users on how they handle searching access points in koha while cataloging. In our current system, we can search both the authority file and a list of headings currently in the catalog (but not in the authorities) while cataloging a record. We have many of our author headings in authorities but our subject headings (many of which are "local") are not. The subject headings were manually removed from the authorities for reasons that I can't discuss. Can someone describe to me (off list, perhaps?) what their work flow is? Thanks in advance. -- Linda Culberson lculber(a)mdah.state.ms.us Archives and Records Services Division Ms. Dept. of Archives& History P. O.
