Activating StopWords and rebuildnonmarc script
by Toni 19 May '10

19 May '10

Hello, We are running a Koha 3.0.5 installation for a small library (with nozebra) and after customizing our list of "Stop words" we want to start using its the removal in the searches by activating the system preference "QueryRemoveStopwords" In the system preference description as well as in the online documentation says that "If you make any changes to the stop words, ask your system administrator to run the misc/rebuildnonmarc.pl script" The problem is that this script can't be found as part of the installation. My question is, Is it really necessary to run this script at all ? If so, where can it be found? Regards! Toni

Exporting Information from Follett to Koha
by Fahs,Joe 19 May '10

19 May '10

Hi All, We have been transitioning from our old Follett DB to Koha over the past year. We are almost ready to kick Follett to the curb, but there is still a lot of information contained in the database that we want to move over to Koha. All of the MARC data has transferred fine, but there has been trouble with some of the item level data like location, etc. Has anybody gone through a similar move (Circulation Plus/Catalog Plus) to Koha? Thanks, Joe Fahs IT Consultant Linde Group, Inc. 510-847-6662 jfahs(a)stmchs.org

Hi Listmates. Let me introduce my self, my name is Andi Sugandi. I work at a university and also help some friends in Asian-African Conference Museum[0] in Bandung (Indonesia).

I successfully installed Koha[1] (last Saturday) on openSUSE 11.2, feels wonderful of the how-to[2], may be i could help on this wiki so it keeps up-to-date. My issue ATM is I can not access my phpMyAdmin page anymore[3]. I usually access it by typing 'localhost/phpMyAdmin' on the address-bar of the web-browser. It probably not a Koha issue, but my apache2 configuration which I'm (relatively) new in this area.

Undo Import function
by Stacy Pober 17 May '10

17 May '10

Are there any serious problems in official Koha with the "undo import" (batch revert) function? We're using LLEK and have had no serious problems with the Undo Import function so far. However, someone from PTFS told me that there is a plan to remove that function from LLEK. I'm concerned because our library has put tens of thousands of records into our catalog for e-books that are not really 'owned' by us but rather are on annual subscriptions. Without the "Undo Import" function, it doesn't seem like there would be an easy method of removing these records if (or more likely, when) we cancel any of the subscriptions in the future. We also find that ebook vendors like to change their offerings on a regular basis, and undoing batch imports makes the updates a breeze. Right now, updating the subscription coverage is an easy matter of undoing the import of the current batch and then uploading a new one. I don't know of any alternative method for easily removing batch uploads from the system using the web interface. There is likely some way to do it if you're a programmer running your own system, but we're in a hosted situation. So, I checked Bugzilla and did notice any significant problem reports for the Undo Import (revert batch) function. Is Undo Import working well in official Koha? And are many libraries making use of this function? -- Stacy Pober Information Alchemist Riverdale, NY 10471 stacy.pober(a)manhattan.edu

Search Results Codes
by Anselm Olweny 17 May '10

17 May '10

Dear Colleagues, I would like to change the codes that are displayed with the search results, eg *“kw,wrdl: health ” *returned 216 results, *“kw,wrdl: health branch: KENLIB” *returned 71 results. I would like to change *kw, wrdl *to something the user understands or something more meaningful. I would like to change *branch: *to Library. Kindly offer any assistance on how I might achieve this. Thanks and stay well Anselm Olweny
