permission problem upon upgrade from 2.2.9 to 3.04
by shahab bohlooli 29 Apr '10

29 Apr '10

Dear all we faced a new problem after upgrading from koha 2.2.9 to 3.0.4 and it is a permission break. whenever we create a new patron for one of our libraries in its default setting, this new account has a full privileges on all staff interfaces. I checked the permissions flags and all were unchecked, but new patron has complete permission. this problem is severely restricting us in using our new and wonderful Koha 3.0.4 system. so I appreciate anyone in the list for any help on this. --------------------- Sincerely Yours Shahab Bohlooli IT devision Ardabil University of Medical Sciences, University Street, 56197, Ardabil, IRAN.

by Lola McKee 28 Apr '10

Does anyone use sounds in Koha for hold alerts when checking in items if that is even possible? If so what program event is used? We are using Firefox 3.6.3 and I have the add on Navigational Sounds 1.2.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated! -- Thanks, Lola McKee Tech Systems Specialist Salina Public Library 785-825-4624 Ext. 239

I contacted you a few months ago regarding a Koha installation I did for a small school. Everything is going well, we are now in production with only a few minor hicups. Great stuff, thanks for Koha - it is a great tool and it helps this little institution a lot. There is however one thing our librarian would like to be able to do: import files from Bookwhere (his favorite Z39.50 client) with new notices. I managed to import a Bookwhere-generated file via bulkmarcimport.pl but the web interface wouldn't work: I can load my file, find my records under "manage staged Marc import" but the "import into catalog" step always results in 0 records added - the records aren't in the database and the "Bib" cell stays empty. I don't get anything in the koha_error_log - I googled around, checked the bugzilla but nothing conclusive. Anyone has an idea what is going on - or where to start looking? Thanks a lot. By the way I am using koha 3.00.04_fixed. Best regards, Joel

Re: [Koha] Fwd: Printing Patron Cards with Names
by Marty 28 Apr '10

As I understand it, some people are still working on the label tool, for now it leaves something to be desired. On the other hand, I think we do not need absolutely everything in one program, as there are other programs well capable of taking over some functions. If you are running on Linux (which I think you do, cause you have Koha 3) take a look at kbarcode (kbarcode.net) It is (obviously) designed for kde, but it works great on my gnome desktop. Once you have installed it, make sure you can connect to your koha database. Then you can just enter queries, like SELECT branchcode FROM borrowers WHERE borrowernumber = ##; SELECT firstname, surname FROM borrowers WHERE borrowernumber = ##; SELECT borrowernumber FROM borrowers WHERE borrowernumber = ##; Where the ## means a number. If you want to do a range (like existing patrons) you can use something similar to the following we use for printing barcodes for existing items in our library, taking data from an extra table in our dbase called interim which exists of id, barcode, usually filled with a LOAD DATA INFILE statement from a .cvs file. [sqlquery: SELECT barcode FROM interim WHERE id = '[index]' + 1;] Hope this helps, Marty --- On Wed, 4/28/10, Chris Cormack <chris(a)bigballofwax.co.nz> wrote: From: Chris Cormack <chris(a)bigballofwax.co.nz> Subject: [Koha] Fwd: Printing Patron Cards with Names To: "koha-user" <koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz> Received: Wednesday, April 28, 2010, 12:06 AM Forwarding to the mailing list ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: John <john.winter(a)neverseen.ch> Date: 28 April 2010 06:49 Subject: Printing Patron Cards with Names To: koha-owner(a)lists.katipo.co.nz Hello, I try to print patron Cards with koha3.00.06 Label creator Tool.

bulk patron import - specifying borrowernumber?
by jason sherman 28 Apr '10

28 Apr '10

Hi all, I am in the process of preparing our library for migration to Koha 3.00.04.019. After examining the patron import starter file from my test server as well as the issues database table, I thought it made sense to specify the borrowernumber based on values in our old system to make moving current borrower checkouts easier. The problem is that even though I specify borrowernumbers in the patron import file, Koha keeps using auto_increment for the value. I've been fussing around with various settings in Koha to try to get it to take my values, but I can't get it it to do so. If this isn't going to happen without hacking koha's scripts or db config, I can write my checkouts migration script to find each user's Koha borrowernumber by checking their cardnumber, but I thought I would do a sanity check first. So, my questions are: Is there a setting that I'm missing or something that I've misconfigured? Is this a bug in my version of Koha, either by including fields that I can't use in the patron import starter file, or by not accepting data that it should? Or is this just intended behavior that I should expect? Thanks in advance for any advice you can share, -- Jason Sherman Systems Librarian University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma 405.574.1340
