SAML authentication
by Mark Osborne 04 Nov '09

We're looking at a consortium install of Koha using SAML or Shibboleth to manage access across several schools using LDAP, AD etc. Does anyone have experience making this sort of thing work in Koha? Possible? Mark Kia Ora.

Report of Active Users for a Month
by Melanie Hedgespeth 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

I am trying to create a report for active patrons within a specific month, divided up by patron category. (I see you can create a patron statistics report for patron activity within "years", but can't get the code so I can adjust it to a month's period.) Any tips? Thanks!

stuck and i need a mysql clue
by Erik Lewis 04 Nov '09

How would I exclude NULL values from the author, title, or isbn fields in the query. SELECT b.biblionumber, b.author, b.title, SUBSTR(i.isbn,1,10) FROM biblio b, biblioitems i WHERE b.biblionumber = i.biblionumber; I know it should be easy, but I'm not having much luck.

Barcodes Scanners
by Roche III, Edward 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Good Morning All I have an issue/curious question. Is there a difference in barcode format "Code 39 Mod 10" and normal "Code 39"? The reason I ask is because by mistake we created half of our barcodes in Code 39 format and the rest in Code 39 Mod 10 format. The weird part is the scanner is reading both and entering the correct value for each but when you submit the Code 39 Mod 10 it says it can't find the barcode but if you scan the Code 39 barcode it works fine. Any ideas? Thanks Ed Edward J. Roche, MCP Network Administrator Solanco School District 717.786.2151 x2437 "At the End of the Day, Did You Play to Win or Not to Lose?"

Re: [Koha] Please Help: Authority Search - Not returning Result. Zebra Index Picks up 4 Authority Records
by Susan Mustafa 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Good Day Frederic, Kindly tell me how do I disable the Authority? in Koha? Right now, if we try to create a new Marc Record, start from empty record, and go to the tag that have to put a Author Personal Name for example, it GREYS the box, and ONLY a popup window can be used to search for an already existing authority?? Can you tell me how I disable this popup window and simply make Koha understand simple text rather than Authority?? I hope I am making sense. Would you recommend that I re-install to keep with future changes?? Because it took me a long time to setup Koha, since I am a beginner and really worried that it would delay the project from going live even more. Someone today in IRC mentioned that I am using the old version of idzebra when I should be using idzebra-2.0, so I think tomorrow morning my time i will try that..and keep you guys on the loop. Please do remember me if you come across aything related to this, Thanks alot 2009/11/2 Frédéric DEMIANS <f.demians(a)tamil.fr> > Your Koha installation is messed up for whatever reason.

SIP server and losing current location
by Nijnatten, Jan van 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Hi all, We have set up Koha (latest, 3.00.04) on Debian lenny. We are also running the SIP server. When we connect to the SIP server (either via telnet or raw) and we checkin a book the "current location" field is set to empty. Why? How do we prevent that? Checking out after that gives a branch error (ofcourse). Anyone know wher to look for the cause? best regards, Jan Jan van Nijnatten MSc | information architect | Philips Research The information contained in this message may be confidential and legally protected under applicable law.

Dear all, Does someone use a robots.txt file on a Koha web site ? If so, what should / could such a file contain ? Many thanks in advance for any recommendation or advice, Sébastien.
