[KOHA] How do I repeat the Web Installer Process again.
by Susan Mustafa 08 Aug '10

08 Aug '10

Hello Everyone, This may seem odd to some, but I need to repeat the web re-install of Koha from the beginning, this is after it successfully completed the first time? Why you ask. - Two versions of Koha (3.0 Production, 3.1 Development) - Koha 3.0 --Database Dump is in 3.0 structure I will go into webmin, delete the koha database of 3.1 and do an import of the 3.0 DUMP. Now this is where the [Web Installer] comes in, it has step 3 which [UPdates the structure of my Koha] to 3.1 without affecting my latest data. I tried going to http://127.0.1.1:8080/cgi-bin/koha/installer/install.plagain but it will not let me run it again. It knows it completed and finished the first time. Kindly help, Best Regards,

Trouble with public note display in OPAC
by Holly Hancock 08 Aug '10

08 Aug '10

I'm having a problem getting the Public Note field to display consistently in the OPAC. I'm entering serials as items on a single bib record and entering the issue date in the 952z field in Add Items. Some records display the Note field and some don't. Same procedure, same Serials template, different results. I'm running 3.00.06 on a VMWare appliance on a Windows platform.

Owen asked: > Is the "raw" MARC view the one you prefer for this? As opposed to this one? > > http://catalog.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-MARCdetail.pl?biblion… I far prefer the raw MARC view. The 952 field is not displayed as a normal MARC field in the "enhanced MARC" field, and if you're trying to troubleshoot a display problem in the OPAC, it's a lot easier to work with the raw MARC. It's probably true that most patrons don't use the MARC display, but on the other hand, I've never gotten a question about it from a patron, so they don't seem to be confused by it, either. The only problem we've run into with the raw MARC view is a bug in the display. Where the MARC displays as a centered pop up, if you close that box, it disables the "back" function in the browser. If you hit "Back" then you can back out of the raw display, but if you close it, you are now stuck in that record and need to do a new search. The html line that generates the centered display is: <a id="MARCviewPop" href="/cgi-bin/koha/opac-showmarc.pl?id=3255" title="MARC" rel="gb_page_center[600,500]">MARC View</a> I just tested in a bunch of other Koha catalogs. Some have the raw MARC as a centered pop-up, some have it as a normal full-page HTML display, and a lot of catalogs don't offer the raw MARC view from the OPAC at all. I don't know which catalogs are using which Koha version, but versions supported by both PTFS and Bywater had the centered pop-up, and both had the "no back button" bug as well. -- Stacy Pober Information Alchemist Manhattan College Library Riverdale, NY 10471 stacy.pober(a)manhattan.edu

Seeking opinions on the OPAC MARC views
by Owen Leonard 06 Aug '10

06 Aug '10

If you have your OPAC XSLT option turned on, a standard installation of Koha 3.x will have two options for viewing a title's MARC record from the detail page: "MARC View" and "Expanded MARC View." See this example on ByWater's demo: http://catalog.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumbe… If you click the "MARC View" link it pops up a modal window with a plain text view of the MARC record. Does your library use this view? From a public library perspective this view doesn't seem useful. I'm interested in finding out whether others find it useful and if there are ways we can improve the usability of the option for all. Thanks, Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org

Everyone, Has anyone had any success importing items in MARCXML format using the "-m MARCXML" option for bulkmarcimport.pl? I can't seem to get it to work. I don't get an error message, but it does have deleting biblios 0 records done. Any insight/suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: [Koha] [Koha-devel] Search by barcode or item number in OPAC

If you enter, for example, bc:12345 or bc:'12345' in the search box you get the biblio with an item with 12345 as barcode. It does not work in advanced search.

Indexing Question
by Christopher White 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

We want to set up indexing that will only index recently added records. Currently we are just rebuilding the entire index with the following command: RUN as root: perl -I /usr/share/koha/lib /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -r -v How would we modify or replace the above script so it would just index recently added items?

Suddenly We Cannot ADD Items
by Christopher White 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

Something happened to our koha system in the last two days that prevents us from adding items to records. When we add an item, the following occurs. 1. The Normal View in Cataloging show "No Physical Items." 2. The items do not show up in items table in mysql. 3. If you select edit item or add item, the item shows up but if you try to edit, none of the fields are populated. ....................................... The following are the only system wide changes we made in the last two days. Could either be related to the appearance of the above problem? 1. We turned on the OPAC suppress feature and modified authorized values and MARC default bibliographic framework to accomodate the suppress feature. We have since reversed all these changes. 2. Modified the indexing script to speed up indexing. We had been running: perl -I /usr/share/koha/lib /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -r -v We tried the following variations: su kohaadmin -c "perl -I /usr/share/koha/lib /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a" Christopher J White Systems Librarian The Sage Colleges Troy, New York (518)244-4521 (518)858-8563 (cell) whitec2(a)sage.edu
