Series in order
by Angela Davies 18 Sep '22

18 Sep '22

We have several large series and I have not been able to catalogue the books in order meaning the barcodes are not in order either. When the series is searched the titles are not in issue order. An example is the Seven Sister series. When searched the titles appear as book 1, book 7, book 4 etc. I put the series title into 490 a and the series number into 490 v. I have played around with this but it still does not work Is there a way to have the list in the series numerical order so we can advise on the order the books should be read? Thank you for any help Angela Davies Opawa Voluntary Library Christchurch New Zealand

Time to translate: string freeze to prepare Koha 21.05.19 has begun
by Victor Grousset/tuxayo 16 Sep '22

16 Sep '22

Hi, String freeze is into effect as of now for the 21.05.x maintenance branch. This means it's the right time to head over to the translation platform: https://translate.koha-community.org/projects/ Reminder: if you add or change a translation in version 21.05, then you must also copy it to 21.11 and 22.05. Otherwise your work will be lost for future versions. Happy translating :) -- Victor Grousset/tuxayo

import question
by Maintenance 15 Sep '22

15 Sep '22

We just built a KOHA server and would like to import our other Library manager data. We are currently using one called "Handy Library Manager" made by "Primasoft" We exported the data from that system and it is just a excel file We have about 14K books. We don't want to remake the database in KOHA by hand. Is there a way to import it into KOHA? If needed, I can give a copy of the DB export so you can see what we have. Thanks Jason

ExplodedTerms show span markup
by Fairlamb, Christina 15 Sep '22

15 Sep '22

Hello, Koha 22.05 When we have selected the ExplodedTerms Did you mean? plugin, the html markup <span></span> is visible on the OPAC search result page as so: <span>Search also for broader subjects</span> Not sure if this is a bug or if we have some design issues. The other Did you mean? options work correctly. Kind Regards Christina

Record display turns completely blank
by 吳宣億 15 Sep '22

15 Sep '22

Hi, Occasionally when we view/create/edit a record, the record page will not display properly, all the field will turn blank, any update to the record just pauses and we need to wait from minutes to hours before it fixes itself and the record to be displayed normally again. It happens from time to time and really impacts our workflow. This is the screenshot of what it looks when it happens: https://www.lib.ntu.edu.tw/AR/images/example.jpg Anyone else experienced this? What could be the cause and what are potential solutions? ________________________________ Mickey Wu National Taiwan University Library IT Services Department No.1 Sec.4, Roosevelt Rd., Taipei, Taiwan Tel. 02-33664573 hsuaniwu(a)ntu.edu.tw

[Elasticsearch] Search doesn't escape trailing full stop
by Aleisha Amohia 14 Sep '22

14 Sep '22

Hi everyone We have a record that can't seem to link to an authority record, I think this is because it has a trailing full stop - for example, John Smith Jr. When we strip out the trailing full stop (i.e. John Smith Jr), the search is successful. We get zero results if we keep it. There is an easy workaround to strip the trailing full stop when we search, however I'm sure there's a configurable way to avoid this. The default Elasticsearch index configuration that comes with Koha is: https://git.koha-community.org/Koha-community/Koha/src/branch/master/admin/… I wonder the 'keyword' tokenizer is what causes this problem? Perhaps we could change it to 'standard' which removes most punctuation - I'd like to try but would love to know if this would solve my problem without rebuilding all my indexes!

Question re TOCs and other digital content
by Bruns, Anke 14 Sep '22

14 Sep '22

Hello again, as far as we know, Koha provides no possibility to index uploaded files, e.g. pdfs containing a table of content, an abstract, or a full text. As this info isn't so very recent, perhaps there has been development in this area that we aren't aware of? I checked the documentation, but couldn't really find anything. Thanks for updating me on this issue in advance!
