anonymize circulation history
by Rachel Hollis 19 May '09

19 May '09

Greetings friends, there may be some bugs with anonymize circulation history when it is run while items are checked out. I find that items appear on overdues reports after they have been returned. Items cannot be deleted because Koha thinks they are checked out. Items also continue to show up on overdue reports even when they have been reissued and have a new due-date. What can we do so that our data is accurate? Some screen shots are at the following link: http://home.earthlink.net/~rhollis/Koha/buggyanon.pdf The steps taken to get there are at: http://home.earthlink.net/~rhollis/Koha/anonymize.pdf We had about 700 items checked out when I ran the anonymize circulation report with a poorly selected date. We will be checking out about another 700 items in the next few days; it seems any of the items that had been checked out and are reissued will be affected. I'd be happy to revert to a backup but we've not been very good about backing up the data. My geek will be here on campus Thursday and I'll be happy to pass on anything that will help us in this situation. Other than confirming that I'd buggered it up, she didn't have any ideas immediately. We're running Koha 3.0 on Debian.

No Library Set

Amy, you have probably logged in as user Kohaadmin. That user does not have a home library. If you log in as a regular patron you will see the home branch displayed instead. Where no library is set, click on (Set) to access a drop down menu of your branches. Regards, Bob Birchall CALYX

Salvete! >I have placed an Enhancement request: > >http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3230 It's a darn fine request, I might add. I didn't know Koha didn't already do that! >If you would like to login to the bugs.koha.org - and view/vote/comment on >this enhancement. Hear that, he said vote! >3 - I will be seeking volunteers to help me review existing enhancements >that are in the database to determine if they have been "resolved/need >clarification/or must remain open"... Depending on how many of those you need handled a month, I can help. I can at least help a little time to time :D Cheers, Brooke

New Koha installation - 952 field
by Amy Schuler 18 May '09

18 May '09

Hello, I just installed Koha 3.0. Seems to be fine except I have run up against a problem with the 852-to-952 holdings field find & replace function (switching holdings info to 952 $o). First, let me mention that we use LCC, not Dewey. That said, I have successfully used MarcEdit to switch tag 852, $h,$i,$p,$k and $8 (date of acquisition) to field 952. Then, using the Koha 3.0 instructions, I added $b to the end of the 952s, and used the find & replace command to find: (=952 ..)(\$h)([A-Za-z0-9.]*)(\$i)([A-Za-z0-9.]*)(\$.*\$b[A-Za-z0-9.]*) and replace: $1$o$3 $5$6. However, this last part fails because I receive the message, "0 modifications made". I did select "use regular expressions". Is there something I am doing wrong? Is my LCC somehow messing up the works? Thanks for any tips or advice you can offer. I am not familiar with regular expressions so am not sure how to tweak them, if that is what is needed. I have pasted in one of my MARC records, below, so you can see what my records look like. Also, one more thing -- if anyone can tell me why my Koha staff client site says "No_Library_Set" in the upper right hand corner, I would appreciate it. Thanks again, Amy Amy C.

using self checkout
by Jochum van der Heide 18 May '09

18 May '09

Hi, I'm trying to use the self checkout module but it doesn't work as expected. I'm following the instructions on: http://sites.google.com/a/liblime.com/koha-manual/Home/Table-of-Contents/ma… 1. I created patron gave it catalogue and circulate permissions (ticked all other boxes as well) 2. I go to: http://mylibraryurl/cgi-bin/koha/sco/sco-main.pl 3. I type the *username* and password for the staff patron 4. Now I see the self checkout page as shown in the manual link above (white background). 5. When I now enter any card number in the box next to "Please enter your cardnumber:" I get back to the OPAC like page saying: You entered an incorrect username or password. Please try again! If on 3. I enter the *cardnumber" instead of the username I get a blank OPAC screen. Am I doing something wrong? I tried enabling the self checkout in the global configuration under circulation, but read in the manual that this parameter isn't implemented yet. -Jochum
