Scott- If I remember correctly, you merely put a numeral; ours is 14.

We are still trying to get our reports up and running and deal with past circ issues. I will probably be sending a "few" messages in the next day or so. This will prevent me from throwing the computer out the window and hitting my assistant, something that HR tends to frown on, let alone the IT department. Anyway, question #1.: There seems to be two new local use preferences in the system admin since I set up things to go live, itembarcodelength and patronbarcodelength. I have looked in the manual and wasn't able to locate anything too much on these. My main question is how do we input the requested information? Do we simply put a number in each box such as 10 and 9 or do we put ten and nine nondescript numbers such as 9999999999 and 999999999 or letters XXXXXXXXXX and XXXXXXXXX?

When a patron places a hold on an item. We are receiving the following message: ERROR: Internal error: incomplete hold request. The book is on the shelf and I have allowed on shelf holdings with my preferences. Am I missing something.

Anyone have a remote location set up in Koha?
by Lee Phillips 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

Hello all Butte is setting up a remote location in a retail store as a depository for returned materials and a pick up location for holds. We can add a library to Koha to identify where the holds are but I can't figure out how to (on the user interface) indicate that location as the pick up for the holds when the user places a hold on materials. Any ideas? Lee Phillips Butte Montana

Errors indexing recently imported authorities in Zebra
by Walls, Ian 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

Koha folks, I've been pouring over this problem, consulting the forums, free web and source code in an attempt to figure out why I'm getting this error. The closest I've found is this old post from 2006: http://www.nabble.com/Zebra-config-problem-(still-1)-td2747685.html#a274 7685 Here is my procedure: 1. I've exported my name authority records from my ILS in their proprietary XML format. 2. Converting their XML into MARCXML 3. Importing the MARCXML into Koha with ./bulkauthimport.pl -m MARCXML 4. At this point, I can check the DB, and see my records in auth_header. They have auth_ids, and both marc and marcxml. 5. When I run ./rebuild_zebra.pl -a, I get the following (snipped for convenience; full output below): 12:24:32-01/07 zebraidx(11611) [warn] /tmp/Zvy3uS9fsy/authority/exported_records:0 record.abs:13: Couldn't find att 'any' in attset 12:24:32-01/07 zebraidx(11611) [warn] /tmp/Zvy3uS9fsy/authority/exported_records:0 Unable to acquire abstract syntax for 'record' 12:24:32-01/07 zebraidx(11611) [warn] Record didn't contain match fields in (bib1,Local-Number) 12:24:32-01/07 zebraidx(11611) [warn] Bad match criteria 6. When I attempt to search for any authorities, using terms I know should match record #1, I get nothing. My initial guess is that I need to change my matching criteria somehow... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Open Source Software in Libraries
by Nicole Engard 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

I am working on some very very broad research on open source use in libraries for a book I'm working on. The focus of the book will be on software you can use that is open source. If you have a chance to answer this brief survey to help me out that would be greatly appreciated: http://opensource.web2learning.net/limesurvey/index.php?sid=63946&lang=en Thanks a bunch!!!

Can't locate object method connect via package DBI
by sdstein7 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

I am in the midst of a struggle to install Koha on a Red Hat Linux 5.3 system. I am on the last page of the Fedora INSTALL instructions, and getting the following error: "Can't locate object method "connect" via package "DBI" in /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Context.pm line 666" Here is Context.pm line 666: my $dbh= DBI->connect("DBI:$db_driver:dbname=$db_name;host=$db_host;port=$db_port", $db_user, $db_passwd) or die $DBI::errstr; I get the same error in two places: 1. Running zebraqueue_daemon.pl 2. Trying to connect to Koha using http://localhost/phpmyadmin I am certain that DBI is installed (although it took a force install in CPAN), that the DBI directory and DBI.pm are in the Perl @INC path, and that the 'use DBI' statement is present in Context.pm. I am certain that all the variables in line 666 are defined. I also wrote a very simple perl script to call DBI->connect and it failed in the same way. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sanford Stein -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Can%27t-locate-object-method-connect-via-package-DBI-… Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
