override renewal limit for circulation staff
by Anna Kågedal 20 Jul '09

20 Jul '09

Dear all, I have a problem with renewals. Since we did not manage to import the item type on our books from the old system, I have not found a way to make all items renewable. So on our circulation screen, all item will show "too many renewals". I have then put AllowRenewalLimitOverride ON so that we can still renew books. (we don't have a specific number set for how many times you can renew since we are a boarding school, and everyone has to return all there books while leaving for holiday every 4 months.) The override works fine for me who has superlibrarian permissions. But it does not work for my circulation staff, who I have given the following permissions: circulation catalogue reserve for others borrow I have looked here http://koha.org/documentation/manual/3.0/patrons/patron-permissions but I can't figure out what permission I need to give them in order to be able to override renewals. Any ideas?

Update woes
by Emrys Minnig 20 Jul '09

20 Jul '09

I have already tried twice to update Koha 3.00.02 to 3.00.03 without apparent success (with hopes of sorting out my Amazon content problems). The first time I used the update instructions from the Debian installation files. The web installer never ran (though I'm not sure it was supposed to) and the version remained 3.00.02.012 on the 'About' page. For my second attempt, I tried a completely vanilla install of 3.00.03 with a brand new database. I then used a .sql backup file of my old database to populate the new database. Again, no web installer and no apparent update (or fix of Amazon functionality). Is there something I'm missing here? Emrys

So, that i can enable certain features during circulation 3.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.

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 issues 4..suppose if each item has by default 2 weeks of loan period,from the date of checkout. - Last day in end of 2 weeks, is the due date to return. how to set the grace period for the extra days.

Rekha, can you send the entire log file or output of both zebrasrv and rebuild_zebra.pl. I suspect the required modules are not installed or the module path in zebra-biblios.cfg is not configured correctly.
