Re: [Koha] Marc framework test error
by Zeno Tajoli 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

Hi to all, >So, I guess that MY QUESTION now is: > >Where does the "| Authority:PER, " in the "Constraints" part of >Subfield "a" (Entry Element) come from? This definition comes from english Unimarac setup of Koha. Go to the file installer/data/mysql/en/marcflavour/unimarc/ mandatory/unimarc_framework_DEFAULT.sql line 1362: ('700', 'a', 'Entry Element', 'Entry Element', 0, 0, '', 7, '', 'PER', '', 0, 0, '', '', '', NULL), The string 'PER' is the link to authority for subfield 700$a But in the english Koha definition of Unimarc Authority there isn't a specific structure for Personal Name. You can see this situation in the file installer/data/mysql/en/marcflavour/unimarc/ mandatory/authorities_normal_unimarc.sql >The only way that I found to "shut up" this MARC Framework test error >was to give the "Authority Type" for "Authors" the code "PER", as Joe >suggests. >My question is: is this intentional? Is there something hardcoded in >Koha that forces this setup? Well, in version 3.0.x the only place where the name of Authority is hardcoded, as I know, is in unimarc_framework_DEFAULT.sql (as I write above). The suggestion of Joe is correct. In fact the english setup of Unimarc has problems and not only here, also in Zebra defintions and in fields used for items information. I think that a general check of english unimarc setup is a must, also to use it as a starting point for translation in different languages. But who want ot use Unimarc ? Italy (I) Portugal (Ricardo Dias Marques) France (Biblibre, but the fr-FR section is correct I think) Anybody else ? Bye to all PS: I'm on leave from 31/07 to 22/08 and from 23/08 to 30/08 I will be in IFLA congress. So any pratical work will start from 01/09/2009 Zeno Tajoli CILEA - Segrate (MI) tajoliAT_SPAM_no_prendiATcilea.it (Indirizzo mascherato anti-spam; sostituisci quanto tra AT con @)

Problems with Koha 3.0.3 download
by Chadwick, John, DCA 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Last week I downloaded Koha 3.0.3 from the link on the www.koha.org <http://www.koha.org/> home page. The command I used was: wget http://download.koha.org/koha-3.00.03.tar.gz at the linux command file. The download went smoothly. The extraction and build were successful. When we went to build the application and install the mysql tables, the version number indicated that we had version 3.00.02.012. I tried the download again today. Same problem. The kohaversion.pl script is showing 3.00.02.012 as the version. So, what are we installing? Is it 3.0.3 or is it 3.0.2.12 Thanks, John +----------------------------------------------------------------------- -----+ John Chadwick, Ed.D.

FIRSTSEARCH WORLDCAT Z39.50 issue?
by Cab Vinton 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Anyone else consistently getting null results from searching FirstSearch for records? I'm also getting "init request rejected" error messages from MarcEdit's Z39.50 utility, which I believe uses the same user name & password ... No error message w/ Koha, just "Nothing found. Try another search.", so it's hard to know exactly what's going on. Cheers, Cab Vinton, Director Sanbornton Public Library Sanbornton, NH

Customization questions
by Melisa Canales 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Hello all, I work at a university center with a collection consisting of mostly videos, but we do have some texts and other things as well. I believe I have gotten Koha 3 into a functioning state and have gotten the data into decent shape as well. Our staff has several questions beyond basic functionality. 1. How can I make our custom framework be the default selected framework when adding a new record? 2. Is is possible to hide items from the OPAC based on itemtype? Do I have to modify each biblio one by one via the OpacSuppression feature to accomplish this? 3. Is there a way to limit the number of characters shown in the biblio summary when doing a search in the staff side? For example, if a biblio has a really long summary, we only want to show the first 3 or 4 lines. We are using Koha version 3.00.01.005. Thanks, Melisa Canales

Re: [Koha] [Koha-devel] Marc framework test error

2009/7/14 Sivasankari <rms(a)srasys.co.in> > THis is the error while running marc framework test, how should i resolve > this > Thanks > Sivasankari > Why are you still cross-posting to both koha and koha-devel lists? None of your questions have been related to development, they are just usage problems. Therefore, please send only to koha, not to koha-devel. In this case, the error message is clear. It says that the "PER" Authority Type used in your default framework at 700$a does not exist. That means you have probably deleted it or changed the code. Edit your default framework 700$a to refer to a valid Authority Type, or go add a "PER" Authority Type. Then run the tests again, since there may be additional errors.. -- Joe Atzberger LibLime - Open Source Library Solutions
