Problem with modifying patron
by Vimal Kumar 15 Feb '09

15 Feb '09

Dear Friends, I tried Koha 3.00.01.005 beta. I would like to attract developers attention to a useability problem. I created a patron successfully. The "Modify Professional patron" screen seems blank when trying to edit an existing parton information. I hope that this problem will sove soon. Thanks in advance, -- Vimal Kumar V. Asst.

OPAC search results -No
by Petrus B. van Bork 14 Feb '09

14 Feb '09

Dear List-Colleagues: There was no follow up reply to the post "OPAC search results -No" (from December '08) so I am posting our results from dealing with this issue: Note: Sunita was running Fedora and we are running Redhat which is similar. * no filters load/no records written in rebuild_zebra * OS:Redhat or Fedora (possibly CentOS) -- * zebraidx (5810) [warn] No such record type: grs.marcxml.record * ERR109 in zebrasrv Possibly specific to: Redhat, Fedora and possibly CentOS Symptoms: ERR109 when querying running copy of zebrasrv Text Box: The structure attribute specifies the type of search term. This causes the search to be mapped on different Zebra internal indexes, which must have been defined at index time. Source: Zebra -- Users Guide and Reference at: http://www.indexdata.dk/zebra/doc/querymodel-rpn.tkl#querymodel-bib1-struct… 109 is a structure attribute for numeric string in Zebra (...it tells Zebra what format to use when indexing Koha data) While there are a number of causes for this error (including a bad ZOOM compile) we are assuming a good install of all perl modules and components. If you are running Fedora or Redhat (...and likely CentOS) and if your "rebuild_Zebra.pl" script will run and you /have /run it and its output looks similar too: Zebra configuration information ================================ Zebra biblio directory = /var/lib/koha/zebradb/biblios Zebra authorities directory = /var/lib/koha/zebradb/authorities Koha directory = /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin BIBLIONUMBER in : 999$c BIBLIOITEMNUMBER in : 999$d ================================ skipping authorities ==================== exporting biblio ==================== 1.

The clues are twofold: 1) ...note that there are no filter module's loaded, they should look like: /14:222:51-14/02 zebraidx (4531) [log] Loaded filter module /usr/local/lib/idzebra02.0/modules/mod-grs-xml.so/ 2) these two lines in your rebuild_zebra output: /16:57:45-15/12 zebraidx(11219) [log] dir /tmp/krk6rYaZGR/biblio/ /16:57:45-15/12 zebraidx(11219) [warn] No such record type:/ /grs.marcxml.record/ NO filter modules are loading and -- of course -- as a result, zebra_build can not read grs.marcxml.record processed data. Result: no index and no ability to search OPAC etc. Filters should appear right under: REINDEXING zebra =============== ....they should look like... /14:222:51-14/02 zebraidx (4531) [log] Loaded filter module /usr/local/lib/idzebra02.0/modules/mod-grs-xml.so/ ...and so forth for another six filters.... Solution: Go to your zebra-biblios.cfg file (probably at: //etc/koha/zebradb// Look in this file for the lines: /# modulePath -- where to look for loadable zebra modules/ /Modules/ /modulePath: /usr/lib/idzebra-2.0/modules/ / / ...the default path is incorrect in RHEL5/Fedora etc. (at least in some installs) ...it should read: /usr/local/lib/idzebra-2.0/modules (or whatever is right on your system) /Newbie tip: verify this, for yourself, by typing "locate mod-alvis.so" at a prompt/ /Example: #locate mod-alvis.so/ /...the result will show the directory path to mod-alvis which is one of the filters you are not loading into rebuild_zebra.pl/ Fix the path in .cfg file, run rebuild_zebra.pl and then restart zebrasrv and your OPAC should run! I really hope this helps some one we had a lot of problems pinning the issue down. Best, Petrus Saugeen Library Consortium

Authority control/ files
by Cab Vinton 14 Feb '09

14 Feb '09

I'm wondering how many libraries are using authority control in Koha 3.0 and how smoothly the process is running. If you're using AC, how is it working for you? Would you recommend, not recommend? Many thanks, Cab Vinton, Director Sanbornton Public Library Sanbornton, NH

catalogin, dewey, and marc-to-koha mapping
by Jeffrey LePage 14 Feb '09

14 Feb '09

We have a small library using dewey. I'm trying to figure out how to get dewey decimal numbers into Koha without error. BACKGROUND: MARC tags ---------------------------- When we do a z39.50 search we often don't get the dewey decimal number. According to http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bdsummary.html there are the following dewey related MARC fields: 082 Dewey Decimal Classification Number 083 Additional Dewey Decimal Classification Number 090 - Shelf Location (AM) [OBSOLETE, 1977] [USMARC only] 090 - Local Call Number [OBSOLETE, 1982] 091 - Microfilm Shelf Location (AM) [OBSOLETE, 1977] [USMARC only] 852 Location I have also found fields like this at some libraries: 092 _a428.2 (tag 92, subfield a = dewey decimal number) _bOCO (tag 92, subfiedl b = dewey decimal number) Koha has this mapping by default: tag 952, subfield o = items.itemcallnumber (full call number) BACKGROUND: our initial import --------------------------------------------- Originally we imported records from Athena. Athena uses tag 952, subfields k,h,i,m (k=Call number prefix, h=Classification part, i=Item part,m=Call number suffix). We mapped (Koha tag 952, subfield o) to (Athena tag 852, concatenation of subfields k,h,i,m). We used this script:http://contribs.koha.org/revision_view.php?rid=15. (Note: I created this script and uploaed it to contribs.koha.org. If the script doesn't map the fields correctly I need to fix it before my mistakes cause problems for others.) Question: How do I do the mapping? ----------------------------------------------------- Now it looks like I need to 1) map some dewey related MARC tag/subfield (which one?) to a items.itemcallnumber 2) make that newly mapped MARC tag/subfield mandatory When I do this, what happens to my previous records which had the default MARC mapping ([tag 952, subfield o]= items.itemcallnumber) ? -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

Error when viewing records
by Lenora Oftedahl 13 Feb '09

13 Feb '09

Hi. Our upgrade to 3.0 went swimmingly. Everything was running fine. But now when we search the catalog we can get summary results, but when you click to get detailed results I get a couple of different errors.. Koha error The following fatal error has occurred: Can't "next" outside a loop block at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/XSLT.pm line 65. I can add the title to the cart and then click on the record to see detailed results, but when I want to switch to MARC, I get this... Koha error The following fatal error has occurred: Can't call method "as_formatted" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/opac-showmarc.pl line 88. Unfortunately, I am not as well versed in PERL to understand. Hints for fixing would be greatly appreciated.

LDAP Not Replicating to Koha DB?
by Barry Cannon 13 Feb '09

13 Feb '09

Thanks to James I have managed to get Koha authenticating against LDAP. However, I can't get Koha to replicate the LDAP users across. Below is a copy of my koha-conf.xml section for LDAP. As you can see replication and updates are turned on. I removed some of the mappings to try and create some default entries but still nothing comes across. The LDAP user can login fine but their Patron record is black via OPAC and there are no updates made at all to the Koha database. Suggestions would be great! <useldapserver>1</useldapserver> <ldapserver id="ldapserver" listenref="ldapserver"> <hostname>172.16.0.23:389</hostname> <base>OU=Staff,DC=YCompany,DC=ie</base> <user>CN=barry,OU=Staff,DC=YCompany,DC=ie</user>  <pass>letmein</pass> <replicate>1</replicate>  <update>1</update>  <mapping>  <cardnumber is="">12345</cardnumber> <firstname is="">John</firstname> <surname is="">Doe</surname>  <city is="">CITY</city>  <branchcode is="">MAIN</branchcode> <userid is="samAccountName"></userid> <password is=""></password>  <categorycode is="employeetype">PT</categorycode>  </mapping> </ldapserver> Regards Barry Cannon
