Cron Job Questions Koha 3 with Zebra on Ubuntu 7.10
by Bruce Raymond 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

When a new item is added to the catalog it is not showing up until the rebuild_zebra.pl is run. The staff doing the cataloging would like to be able to have access to the records immediately. 1. What cron jobs or other procedures should be running, and how often should they run, to enable the records to update right away? 2. And a related question.... What cron jobs do you recommend running (and how often) in a "typical" koha w/ Zebra installation. Thanks, Bruce Raymond

Printing spine labels to Dymo Turbo 330
by Chadwick, John, DCA 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

I have a Dymo label printer that had been attached to my computer. We ran some tests printing spine labels from Koha and everything worked fine. I took the printer to a new computer and installed the label printer and the latest software. I can print from the Dymo interface, but I can't print from the Web page with the spine label display. Any suggestions or ideas?

Salvete! First of all a hearty thank you to all of the Conference Organisers. If you were living under a rock/have a tyrannical boss/can't find funding, and didn't get to KohaCon 10, boy did you miss a hell of a Conference! Point the second, also being the main point. Chris' honour is on the line. Oh yeah, I went there. You see, we're working under a 6 month release deadline now, good people. You don't want Chris to lose face setting so ambitious a goal, do you? Of course not. So I call on all of _you_, yes ALL, list lurker, wannabe coder, good developers, Librarians ALL! *Now* is the time to be of service. So get thee to an IRCery! 10 November 2010 19:00-20:00. (according to the Community website. If I'm wrong, please do jump on me.) Cheers, Brooke

zebraqueue and cron jobs
by Paul A. 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

Appendix 12.2 to the new Koha 3.2 manual suggests running rebuild_zebra.pl as a Cron job every n minutes. However, the zebraqueue_daemon appears to automatically update the biblio database as and when needed. Could someone kindly explain the necessity of the Cron job? We are having a few problems finding sufficient "system level" documentation. Many thanks - Paul --- Archives and Collections (ACS) Society 205, Main Street, Picton, Ontario, K0K 2T0, Canada Canadian Charitable Organization 88721 9921 RR0001

Your item data needs to be in the 952 field when you do the import and you can choose to just import items, not bibs. More info here: http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/?ch=x5046 and here: http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/?ch=x5094 and finally this http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/?ch=a12076 helps you with the 952 field and its subfields.

Need help for implementing discovery tool (VuFind) with KOHA
by hasina＠bracu.ac.bd 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

Dear all Currently we are implementing Vufind at BRAC University Library, Bangladesh. We are using KOHA version 3.2 latest stable release. There is a built-in driver for KOHA but its not working. It was written as a test of concept very early in VuFinds development during experimentation with using Kohas Zebra index instead of VuFinds Solr index. We are dumping MARC record from Koha and uploading it to VuFind. It is working fine, but it doesn't show the holding data. We are trying to build a driver of KOHA for VuFind. Is there anyone who is working on any discovery tool and KOHA? Hasina Afroz Senior Deputy Librarian (Head of Library) BRAC University Bangladesh http://library.bracu.ac.bd/

Which table contains the holding information?
by Altaf Mahmud 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

Dear all, I am using Koha 3.2. I want to know which table in Koha database contains the holding status (available/unavailable)? I just have taken a look, but couldn't point out the table I am looking for. Is it specifically mentioned in any table? Or do I've to query multiple tables and calculate the number of items that are available? How Koha displays that information? Please give me a clue. Thank you. -- Altaf Mahmud System Programmer Ayesha Abed Library BRAC University Bangladesh.

Citizen iDP 3500 receipt printer
by Brendan A. Gallagher 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

Hello All - We have recently found that Citizen iDP 3500 receipt printers are not printing from Firefox 3.6 (we've had three different cases). I've contacted the company and they said they know of the problem and that's all they said. I've asked if they plan on fixing that problem and I have not gotten a message back. So if you have a Citizen iDP 3500 printer that is working with FireFox please let me know how you got it to work - or if you have not upgraded your version of FireFox and you're printing fine (then I would recommend keeping you firefox upgrades back). I will keep everyone updated if the company responds with anything useful. Thanks and Cheers, Brendan Gallagher ByWater Solutions

Fwd: Citizen iDP 3500 receipt printer

Great message here - wanted to keep the thread going. -Brendan Begin forwarded message: > From: James Ghiorzi <JGhiorzi(a)lib.co.san-benito.ca.us> > Date: November 3, 2010 9:25:49 AM PDT > To: "Brendan A.

The Citizen Rep and myself actually ran through a whole gamut of stuff, the representative even took remote control of my computer. The printer simply will not print from Firefox (new drivers, or not, and different DIP switch settings). I have tried a number of other drivers and settings as well. We have even tried printing from Internet explorer with the printers. While you are unable to print slips from internet explorer (because the slip button doesn't work at least it didn't work from the demo server or sandbox server) you are able to print from the main circulation screen so in theory it should act as a quasi check out slip. The problem with that, is the print out is probably not something you want to give to anybody (it looks pretty bad imho). We also tried printing to a text file (garbage), and to a pdf file which of course did not work either. > > So we came up with a couple of other suggestions between myself and Steven Silveria: > > 1. Make it a green service have slips emailed to folks, and they can check it online from any of the terminals (if they don't have a computer), or they can check it online from home, cell, etc. > > 2. Copy and paste the text from Firefox to a notepad, than print from there (looks great), very time consuming. > > 3. (we haven't tried this solution yet), have it email a dummy account, print out from outlook - this in theory should work because outlook is a Microsoft product which the printers seem to like. > > That's all I can think of for now.
