Library class using Koha
by Shirley Lew 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

Hello, I'm new to this discussion list and thought I should introduce myself. My name is Shirley Lew and I'm teaching a course, Library Automation & Systems, at the School of Library, Archival & Information Studies (SLAIS) program at UBC this term - course web site is here http://blogs.ubc.ca/libr551/blog/. The course is using an instance of Koha for Class and we also have access to Evergreen for learning/teaching purposes. For the majority of students, this is the first opportunity for hands-on exploration of an open source ILS and they're looking forward to it! The major course assignment this term involves evaluating and comparing some of the functionality between Koha and Evergreen. I will be encouraging students to subscribe to this listserv, both to observe the discussion and to ask questions as they get to know the system. The Koha community is clearly a very supportive and collegial one, so I thank everyone in advance for any help/support you can offer students who may ask questions. Shirley

Receiving serials item: customize item subfield population
by Christopher Curry 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

Hello everyone. A few questions about serials: I'm working on getting the serials module working correctly (or at least limping along). When receiving a new item from within a subscription record, some data is automatically generated in the item record. The call number is applied (as defined in system preferences "itemcallnumber") and "serialseq" ( from serialitems table) is inserted into $v - Cost, replacement price. The latter is obviously a mistake, and is easy enough to fix by editing line 73 of /usr/share/koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/serials/serials-edit.tmpl, replacing "v" with "h" to populate $h - Serial Enumeration / chronology with "serialseq" instead. <http://pastebin.com/m4e03ad68>function unHideItems(index,labelindex, serialId) { subfield = document.getElementById(index); subfield.style.display = 'block'; label = document.getElementById(labelindex); label.style.display='none'; // Prefilling 995$v with issue number // Getting item id itemid = $("fieldset#" + index + " div.cataloguing_additem_itemlist div.items").attr("id"); // Getting subfield id subfieldid = "subfield" + itemid.substr(4) + "v"; // Setting text field $("#" + subfieldid + " input[type='text']").val($("#serialseq" + serialId).val()); } I was pointed to the following bug that deals with this issue: Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3899 normal, PATCH-Sent, ---, nengard(a)gmail.com, NEW, Receive Serial Item Has Copy Info in Wrong Field However, I'm trying to do a more involved customization to populate $h with "publisheddate" from the serialitems table and append "serialseq" to the call number in $o. Any tips on how I can achieve this? I tried copying the js from above and changing the subfield to o and replacing serialseq with publisheddate, but this doesn't output the publisheddate field; it also overwrites the call number generated by system preferences, rather than appending to the end of it, so I guess something more sophisticated is necessary? In addition, $c, shelving location is missing from this form...I checked the MARC Bibliographic Framework and the code for the hidden field of 952$c is correct & it displays correctly when creating a non-serial item.
