hi all, I have selected Marc21 frameworks on, and selected addition for custom frameworks, like books,kits,binders,audiovisual materials etc - to limit the entry of marc21 contents - like book title,publisher,physical dimensions of book etc.(Since i'm a novice user, and have no knowledge in MARC21 fomats. I had added books successfully to it. But when i give a search - in a catalog with blank text(With out entering anthing and doing a search), no items are displayed. Is there anything related with zebra, to have this feature enabled. But if i give the keyword, the records are displayed , what may be problem Wont koha accepts blank search, to display all the records. I saw some of the demo sites. it worked well some times. some times, i have select the specific item type to lists the available items in koha . But the catalog statistics in Report link gives results 0. But the stock/inventory management - shows the results of available books. kindly help me out to resolve this issue. -sivasankari

Re: [Koha] cron job error message

I think it is just syntax. The trailing ">" attempts redirection to something unspecified. Remove it and try again. Otherwise, please specify OS and cron version. --joe On Jul 18, 2009 5:43 PM, "Carol McGeehon" <clmcgeeh(a)co.douglas.or.us> wrote: I have a test installation of Koha which I’m trying to set up.

When I try to run the line $ sudo update-rc.d koha-zebra-daemon defaults I get: update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon: file does not exist yet I can see the file does indeed exist in that directory. What do I do? Paul

Is this a problem?
by Paul Yachnes 18 Jul '09

18 Jul '09

At the very end of a Koha install (git install on Ubuntu 9.04), I got the following text: chown: invalid user: 'koha:koha' make: *** [set_koha_ownsership] Error 1 I'm not sure what this is telling me or if this is a problem. Do I need to fix something or is it ok to proceed? Paul

Overdue notices
by Cab Vinton 18 Jul '09

18 Jul '09

Is it correct to assume that Overdue notices are only sent to Home email addresses (borrowers.email)? Some patrons provide both a home & a work email (borrowers.emailpro). Ideally, the Patron DB would be setup to allow staff to specify the default email address to be used for notices. Otherwise, Koha should send notices to any available address (work if no home address available, & vice versa.) At present, I believe we would have to copy work addresses into empty home address fields to ensure that Notices are sent out. Thank you, Cab Vinton, Director Sanbornton Public Library Sanbornton, NH

Re: [Koha] Request advice on setting up Z39.50 for catalogers
by BWS Johnson 17 Jul '09

Salvete! I agree that AMICUS records are high in quality and very easy to access via z39.50. I was so fond of the quality of their MARC records, that I chose to use AMICUS as an example rather than LOC when I authored one of my tutorials. http://www.pakban.net/brooke/tut/rev.html The one that I screenshotted for the tutorial has no French in it, though it would be worth checking other records if you're that concerned. Cheers, Brooke
