Install Zebra
by Kevin Jones 06 Nov '10

06 Nov '10

Hello all, Some advice please: I am practising the download and install of the Koha 3.02. Eventually I hope to implement the system in a very small library, less than 3000 items. Would it be more trouble than it is worth to NOT install idzebra-2.0? and... If I did not use Zebra would yaz still have to be installed? thanks p.s. Ubuntu 10.04 Koha 3.02 Kevin

How to generate icon for "electronic - remote" books
by Stacy Pober 06 Nov '10

06 Nov '10

We get a lot of MARC records for ebooks that do not display the right icons when XSLT is turned on. I have looked at the manual(s), but it only lists a few of the icons and states that these are controlled by certain leader positions. Other icons are not even mentioned. The specific icons I want displayed for our ebooks are the ones for Type: Book, and Format: electronic remote. They are correct for our ebrary books and can be seen on this search result page: < http://wxman.sandbox.kohalibrary.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=ebrary> I've looked at the manuals on both the koha.org and koha-community.org site, and do not see the "electronic - remote" display listed. Actually, only about half of the icons I've seen in the catalog are listed. We're using LEK but it looks like the XSLT display is the same for both LEK and official Koha, and the XSLT display documentation is not very thorough. Can anyone help me figure out which fields generate the "electronic - remote" text and icon? Advance thanks. -- Stacy Pober Information Alchemist Manhattan College Library Riverdale, NY 10471 stacy.pober(a)manhattan.edu -- Stacy Pober Information Alchemist Manhattan College Library Riverdale, NY 10471 stacy.pober(a)manhattan.edu

Re: [Koha] [koha]could we import items?

oh ,thank you ,i don't know why ,the first time i use rebuild , it says can't locate C4/Context ,so i use: perl -I /usr/share/koha/lib rebuild_zebra.pl -v -b -r -s & perl -I /usr/share/koha/lib rebuild_zebra.pl -a -z & perl -I /usr/share/koha/lib rebuild_zebra.pl -b -z i don't know what it means,but it works only if i stop the zebraque_daemon.pl. because i start it within booting,so i change the rc.local, and reboot to stop it, then run it and reboot to start the zebra server, and it works. and i want to know if it has some easy way to clean the zebra index.. what i use is koha3.0.6 and debian 5.0.4 ,i install the lamp with apt-install and the koha with standard install.and i do have a koha user kohaadmin Wish you best~!

Could you please explain the steps you've followed? Updating zebra indexes its pretty straight-forward, maybe you're not following the right docs. Which linux are you using? did you do a standard install? a dev install? which path did you choose for the install? did you create the koha user? did you run the reindexing scripts as 'koha' user?

re-doing invoices
by Rachel Hollis 05 Nov '10

05 Nov '10

Greetings friends, I have a library assistant who is learning the Acquisitions Module (Koha 3.01.00.145) and now some items need to be re-invoiced/received. The only way that I could see to do this was to delete the basket, which made it necessary to re-create other order lines and invoices. Essentially what started out as two kooky invoices became a need to recreate four baskets and six invoices. Is there a better way to go about correcting an invoice?

Koha security issue.
by Scott Kushner 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

We are using mozilla firefox 3.5.4 for Koha access for our patrons. After one patron is done and walks away, the next patron can use the "back" button to access the previous patron's records-if 6 patrons have used this workstation, all of their transactions can be seen by the last patron. Has the new release of Koha addressed this security issue. Does anyone have a "one-patron session" fix for this? Thanks, Rod Alberse Information Technologies Middletown Township Public Library(MTPL)

Scott, We used OpenKiosk, with a setting to automatically clear out all cached settings every few minutes of non-use to resolve this issue. We also have a "Log Out" Button (configurable through OpenKiosk) to allow users to manually clear out their session information. This issue has popped up on many ILS's/Kiosk situations, not just Koha. Open Kiosk is a free plugin for firefox, available here: https://www.mozdevgroup.com/clients/bm/ Christopher Hyde Information Technology East Brunswick Public Library Message: 7 Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2010 14:18:41 -0400 From: "Scott Kushner" <skushner(a)mtpl.org> Subject: [Koha] Koha security issue.
