New addition to AUR Koha catalog
by Weinheimer Jim 24 Sep '10

24 Sep '10

All, I just did something that is interesting. I've done it on my blog and it is easy enough to implement now. I have added the Google Translate widget into the catalog, both on my main page, and in the individual records. On the main page, http://www.galileo.aur.it/cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl, it takes a second for the widget to load from Google, but when you do, just select the language, and watch. It's pretty amazing! I also did it from each record: e.g. http://www.galileo.aur.it/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?bib=6084 The instructions are in Google. It's pretty much just copy and paste, so it just takes a few seconds. http://translate.google.com/translate_tools Jim James Weinheimer j.weinheimer(a)aur.edu<mailto:j.weinheimer@aur.edu> Director of Library and Information Services The American University of Rome via Pietro Roselli, 4 00153 Rome, Italy voice- 011 39 06 58330919 ext. 258 fax-011 39 06 58330992 First Thus: http://catalogingmatters.blogspot.com/ Cooperative Cataloging Rules: http://sites.google.com/site/opencatalogingrules/

branchcodes and case sensitivity
by Chris Hobbs 24 Sep '10

24 Sep '10

Hi All, We're running into a problem on 3.00.05 with the case of our branchcodes. We have configured our branches with codes like 'LO' or 'ES'. We imported all of our items against those codes, and everything looked good. School just stated, and we just began circulating, and have discovered that when items are checked in, items.holdingbranch is being populated with lowercase variants of those branchcodes ('lo' or 'es'). This causes the interface in many places to claim there's no current branch, even preventing check-out of that item. The obvious fix would be to simply set branchcode to LOWER(branchcode) in the back end, but the foreign key constraint prevents me from doing so through mysql. I'm fixing this temporarily by running UPDATEs against items setting holdingbranch=UPPER(holdingbranch), but this is a kludge. Any suggestions? -- Chris Hobbs Director, Technology New Haven Unified School District -- This message was scanned by ESVA and is believed to be clean.

MARC21slim2OPACDetail.xsl and brancode variable
by Zachary Spalding 23 Sep '10

23 Sep '10

Is there any way to access the branchcode variable while in the MARC21slim2OPACDetail.xsl file? I would like to add the branch code as a search limit to subject field so when a patron click on a subject in the detail view they will only get hits from the branch they our accessing. -- Zachary Spalding Systems Manager Southeastern NY Library Resources Council 21 S.

intranet library set incorrectly
by Catherine Chambers 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

Hi there I am using Koha 3.0.06, Debian Lenny. My organisation has two libraries, University Library and Children's Library. Can anyone suggest why, when I log into the intranet as a staff member, the library set in the top right corner of the screen is always the Children's Library? The staff members all have their home library set to University Library. Thanks, Catherine

Even entering the sample query proved gets the following error: Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/reports/guided_reports.pl line 607. Any ideas?
