Advance notice that items will soon be due
by Dillon Moore 22 Jul '10

22 Jul '10

Hi, I've been trying to find a way to send an advance notice to patrons that their loans will be due in 3 days. I did turn on the EnhancedMessagingPreferences, but I haven't been able to find the option for "Default messaging preferences for this patron category" which Karen mentions in the attached thread. Is this a feature that has been introduced for 3.2? We're currently running 3.00.01.005.

Hide and seek of fields MARC framework
by Vimal Kumar 22 Jul '10

22 Jul '10

Dear Friends, Default MARC frame displays all fields, at the same time other frameworks (e.g. BKS) does not show certain fields. Example, 010 Library of Congress Control Number display in DEFAULT marc framework. The same field does not display in BKS framework. How enable hiding fields in BKS? -- Vimal Kumar V. Asst.

Koha and CollectionHQ
by Lori Bowen Ayre 22 Jul '10

22 Jul '10

Recently learned about CollectionHQ <http://www.collectionhq.com/> which sounds like a very slick tool for managing collections and helping with weeding decisions and I hear tell that someone moving to an open source ILS is working with the company (but they wouldn't say who). Can anyone shed any light on this? I'd love to verify that someone is working with them. It fills a missing piece (in all ILSs). I know nothing about pricing except that it is subscription-based. Anyone working on this integration? Lori Ayre

koha-3.00.06 on ubuntu-10.04: Cannot find the file 'mysql_config'!
by Sabine Grabner 22 Jul '10

22 Jul '10

Hello, I am trying to install koha-3.00.06 on ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso following INSTALL.ubuntu. I think I have succeeded all the way through 2.3. At task 2.4.2 I have successfully created the test DB but I did not succeed installing the DBD::mysql thingy, retrieving the error message below. I am not experienced with Perl or Ubuntu, though I do have tech understanding. Does anybody have a clue how to proceed?

Cyrillic Character Search w/ Zebra
by justinhiggins 22 Jul '10

22 Jul '10

It seems that if I enable Zebra, I cannot get titles in Cyrillic characters to be found via search. I am just presented with a list of titles that are all in cyrillic. However if I disable Zebra and use NoZebra instead, the titles are found just fine. Anyone have any ideas? I am using Koha 3.00.04 and Zebra 2.0.43 Thanks in advance, Justin -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Cyrillic-Character-Search-w--Zebra-tp28730621p2873062… Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Koha Upgrades
by deavorj＠comcast.net 22 Jul '10

22 Jul '10

Dear Koha community, We currently have the 3.0 version of Koha. It's new to us , and we are just learning the program. We are about to start lots of data entry next week. What are the advantages of the 3.1 upgraded version? Should we upgrade before we start lots of data entry? I know some of you mentioned re indexing once you have upgraded. What does this involve? Thanks for your input. Janet Deavor St. John Catholic School North Charleston, SC 29405

Deleting Serial Subscriptions
by Becki Whitaker 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

Hi, We have some old, test serial control subscriptions that we would like to clean up and delete. Does anyone know how this can be done? Can you delete a subscription by subscription ID? [Using version 3.01.00.032] BTW, in the process of looking at the 3.0 documentation for an answer, it looks as if the previous documentation version has been replaced by a manual that only describes and discusses the administration system preferences. This is great and something that we've needed but the old how-to, step-by-step approach is needed also. We especially made use of the info about mapping item record subfields in the 952. We need both types of documentation. Can we bring back the "old" one as well as the new? Thanks.
