I am getting duplicate results in my searches, and tried to use the instructions at http://koha-community.org/documentation/faq/searching/ but I am still getting duplicate results. So you don't have to look up the link, the instructions on the FAQ are to: zebraidx -c /path/to/zebra-biblios.cfg drop biblios Then zebraidx -c /path/to/zebra-biblios.cfg commit Then rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r -v I did get the following warnings: 17:30:51-21/04 zebraidx(8231) [warn] zebra_lock_create fail fname=__ZEBRA_LOCK_DIR__/biblios/norm..LCK [No such file or directory] 17:30:51-21/04 zebraidx(8231) [warn] zebra_lock_create fail fname=__ZEBRA_LOCK_DIR__/biblios/shadow..LCK [No such file or directory] 17:30:51-21/04 zebraidx(8231) [log] zebra_stop: 0.00 0.00 0.01 We are on version 3.00.05.003 PERL version 5.008008 and Zebra 2.0.43 (C) Thanks in advance Linda Culberson lculber(a)mdah.state.ms.us Archives and Records Services Division Ms. Dept. of Archives & History P.

Re: [Koha] PTFS Koha Community Support and the Koha.org Website
by Christopher Nighswonger 27 Apr '10

Hi John, It is good to hear from you. > As you know, PTFS acquired LibLime and is integrating the LibLime operation into our existing open source software business unit. With this acquisition, PTFS inherited quite a few tasks, all to be performed simultaneously, and our work is not near complete. However, we want to increase our involvement within the community now, at this early phase of the transition. > We all appreciate the incredibly complex task of merging two companies. No doubt this task is greatly complicated by PTFS being fairly new to the FOSS concept as well. > As promised, PTFS will continue to support the Koha open source community. We understand that the http://koha-community.org/ website was set up as a temporary measure before our purchase of LibLime, out of concerns that the content of koha.org was out of date and was not under the control of official members of the community. To resolve this issue PTFS would like help in updating and supporting koha.org. The time for updating and supporting koha.org as an independent site is past. There is nothing else to be said in that regard. One of the very issues that PTFS appears to be concerned about is at stake here: instability in governance. Make no mistake. There is no instability here. To move "back" to koha.org would indeed be a sign of instability and indecision on the community's part. We have learned a hard and sorrowful lesson in the trust betrayed by LibLime and its former management. Surely you understand the need of ensuring that never again can a single for-profit interest threaten the existence of Koha. The clearest and best indication that PTFS is willing and desirous to participate in the Koha community on the common ground of the term set forth by the community would be to turn all Koha related assets over to the community appointed trustee HLT. You would be surprised what a grateful response this would receive from the community *as well as* many of the former LibLime customers. > PTFS looks forward to continuing our work with the community to mutually advance the goal of producing the world’s best open source ILS system that can truly go head-to-head with the legacy proprietary systems. PTFS has a wonderful opportunity at this point in its own history and that of Koha. Furthermore, PTFS stands a good chance of wide acceptance in the Koha community if it chooses to enter the community on the terms common to all who come this way: those set forth by the community. To my knowledge, no one has shunned, belittled, ostracized, or otherwise discriminated (to use a currently politically hot term) against either of the two PTFS developers who regularly frequent the list and irc channel. To the contrary, many of us have invested our *valuable* time FREE OF CHARGE to assist them in issue directly related to PTFS client work. To this degree and further, PTFS has received invaluable benefit from this community. In return we are only asking that PTFS be honorable and transparent in its dealings with the community. Let's leave the smoke and mirrors to the politicians. I am personally looking forward to greater involvement of PTFS in the Koha community. I have enjoyed interaction with the two PTFS employees who are currently involved and appreciate their valuable contributions to the community as well. Kind Regards, Chris Nighswonger Koha 3.2 Release Maintainer

Hello and question
by Kate Etheredge 26 Apr '10

26 Apr '10

Hello Koha Community, I am writing to introduce myself and my library. We have decided to work with LibLime on implementing Koha at our library and we're interested in keeping up with the community. Mt Laurel Public Library is a small branch library in Alabama. We went live this month (the 10th). Everything is going well except that I have noticed that the books I have added to the catalog in the past week or so are not showing up in the OPAC. They are in the log and they check out but searching them does nothing. If you have any advice for us, feel free to share. Thank you very much, Kate Etheredge Branch Manager

Help needed in Overdue Mails sending
by nitesh rijal 26 Apr '10

26 Apr '10

Hello all. This is the 3rd time I'm posting the same problem in this mailing list. I am using KOHA 3.00.03 and have set up libraries to be used with it. Now, I want to send overdue notices to the students who have an overdue. I have tried all the available options but all in vain. It is not sending mails at all. I have also written in the cron jobs but still the same. I kindly request anyone who has successfully setup the mail sending functionality in KOHA, to make a small how-to (step-by-step) so that it may help me and others like me. Please Reply to this ASAP. Regards. -- Nitesh Rijal BE IT rijal.it(a)gmail.com http://niteshrijal.com.np http://facebook.com/openrijal http://twitter.com/openrijal +9779841458173

Fwd: Another authorities issue
by Nicole Engard 26 Apr '10

26 Apr '10

Hi all, Any ideas about this? Is there a bug reporting that this doesn't work? Nicole ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Agnes Rivers-Moore <arm(a)hanover.ca> Date: Fri, Dec 4, 2009 at 5:34 PM Subject: Another authorities issue To: Nicole Engard <nengard(a)gmail.com> Hi Nicole I remember that the Koha prefs manual mentioned that there should be a way to build authorities 'on the fly' - "BiblioAddsAuthorities Defines if a new biblio will check for existing authority record and create one on-the-fly if one doesn't exist. Values: * ON = a new biblio will check for existing authority record and create one on-the-fly if one doesn't exist." However I have not been able to get that to work. It seems that as you found, you can't do anything if the pref is set to ON. Also we would need to know more about how this is done (as the whole point of authorities is to avoid similar variations of the same name, the system should at least prompt the cataloguer with close matches before creating a new authority automatically). So, while you are on the trail, please could you ask around and see whether that is supposed to work, and if so, document how? Many thanks for all your work on a unified manual. I know this can be a thankless and unending task, so - we do appreciate it! Agnes -- Agnes Rivers-Moore Assistant Librarian Hanover Public Library

Workflow (Repair, Cleaning, Binder)
by Melanie Hedgespeth 26 Apr '10

26 Apr '10

We are looking at possibilities for workflow regarding materials that need to repaired, cleaned, sent to bindery, etc. Do you utilize users, and just check the items out to a repair user, bindery user OR do you change the "status" and/or "location" of those items? Or do you have a different workflow for these items that need to be out of general circulation for a time? Thanks!
