Koha to MARC mapping for field not in database
by Melisa Canales 12 Oct '09

12 Oct '09

Hello, What do I do when I am trying to map a MARC field to a field that is not in the koha tables? For example, I want to map 306a Playing Time to something but there is no suitable match (such as biblio.playingtime) in the mapping fields list. I am also curious about 650a Subject/Topic. Am I just missing this when I look for it in the database? In the end what I'm trying to do is show the Playing Time on the OPAC. I understand this may mean a change to the template, but I've added other fields and now I want to add this one too. We are using Koha 3.00.02.012 with MARC21. Thanks for any help, Melisa Canales

Thomas, you misunderstood me. I wasn't saying not to remove the links to version of Koha that not everyone can have access to - I was saying - don't leave the demos section blank - make sure we find a genuine Koha demo to replace them with. Vendors with their own versions of Koha can have those demos on their own sites, but they don't belong on koha.org.

Requests and Due Date Mail trigger

Hi, I have Koha 3.0 running on Ubuntu. I would like to integrate it with our mail server. My requirements are: 1. User must be able to place request from OPAC page, which must drop into the Librarian's mail box. Is it configurable in the existing system or needs some code change? 2. User and the librarian must receive a mail whenever a book issued exceeds the due date. Please let me know if some more details are required to address this requirement.

If LEK is written in Perl and anyone could download a copy without obfiscation; then it would necessarily be open source. Not being more cooperative with the Koha community might be a problem even if there would be a downloadable LEK but not as great a problem. The real problem to be remedied is to find how to encourage LibLime to make LEK downloadable, not at some future time, but now. > So it has nothing to do on www.koha.org > There is another related problem: liblime host & own koha.org domain name. > So we can't do a lot of things about that, except crying & asking (which > we must do, for sure, thanks owen to have pointed this problem) The question which deserves asking until a proper answer is given is what the community can do to encourage LEK to become downloadable now. Certainly, linking to software presented as Koha which does not adhere to the principles which the community has upheld for Koha is a serious problem which may damage the reputation of Koha if it persists. I too thank Owen Leonard for alerting everyone to the discrepancy between the demonstration link to page featuring LEK demonstrations for which the source code is not available but the linked page does not link to a working demonstration of Koha. I would prefer that we continue to ask LibLime to make the source code to LEK available and how the community may help make that happen with the understanding that linking to LEK without the source code available is not acceptable. In any case, we should prepare to "do a lot of things about that". We should make that preparation through a community organised as a legal entity with the capacity to act as a unified community to offer at least some partial remedies having a significant effect. Kyle Hall had offered some partial remedy. First, we need to organise the Koha project under an existing foundation to quickly provide the capacity to act as a unified community on Kyle's suggestion and to consider other options which may be pursued as well.

Help! An unknown yellow box...
by Anna Kågedal 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

Dear all, We have suddenly experienced a grave problem. For some patrons, we can't check out books. When I try to check out a book - a yellow box appears - just like the one which would have a message in it like: Item can't be renewed or Borrower has overdues - dou you still want to check out? However - this box doesn't have a message in it. The strange thing is that this only happens to a few patrons. So far we have spotted 2. These patrons belong to the same patron group and the same library as everyone else, but for others there is no problem checking out the same books that don't work here. Is there anyone who has experienced this? Can we locate why the box appears even if there is no message? We don't see anything when checking the source code of the page. Thank you all in advance, Anna -- ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Anna Kågedal Kodaikanal International School Seven Roads Junction Kodaikanal 624101 Tamil Nadu, India home phone: +914542247269 cell phone: +919994535493 http://twitter.com/kislibrarian
