Withdrawn items show up as available in Koha3

I just marked an item withdrawn and it still shows up as available. I had to mark it as lost to get it to display as unavailable. -- Tim McMahon West Liberty Public Library

OPAC availability
by Rachel Hollis 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

Greetings colleagues, I entered several items this morning; availability display in the OPAC seems hit and miss. On initial search screens, copies available display for some items but not others. Clicking on an offending record shows item location, call number and status, just not on initial search screens. Library is set and still it is hit and miss with OPAC availability display. Using cataloging, I checked a sample and they are the same except for price, call number and barcode. Within the database, the items table shows no null values in homebranch. How can I get availability to consistently show in the OPAC? In the following example, we are desiring the first display of availability. 1. Tuesdays with Morrie : an old man, a young man, and life's greatest lesson by Albom, Mitch. Publisher: Broadway Books, c2007. Availability: Copies available at: Stevens-Henager College, Boise Campus 2. Autobiography of a face by Grealy, Lucy. Publisher: Houghton Mifflin, 1994. Availability: What do I need to do differently? We're on Koha 3. Rachel Hollis, librarian Stevens-Henager College, Boise Idaho Campus ________________________________ This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privileged, proprietary, or otherwise private information.

Hidden MARC subfields
by Tim McMahon 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

We're converting from version 2 to 3 and our dewey is 942k and item type is 942c. We have them on tab 5 in the editor. They don't show up on the screen. They're in the source but the display style is set to none. We haven't changed the hidden setting in the framework and it is currently set to 0. I tried setting them to mandatory, but it wouldn't save that way. -- Tim McMahon Technical Services West Liberty Public Library 400 N.

Koha Project Announces KohaCon 2009
by paul POULAIN 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

February 3, 2009-- The creators and developers of Koha, the first open source Integrated Library System (ILS), today announced that KohaCon 2009-- a conference for current and interested users of the Koha Integrated Library System--- will be held in Plano, Texas, April 16 &17, 2009. KohaCon 2009 is the sequel to the first ever KohaCon--held in Paris, France in 2006-- which brought together users and developers worldwide. KohaCon 2009 will feature an international slate of speakers (both Koha users and active Koha contributors) conducting presentations and workshops on a diverse range of topics. Topics will include technical information on how to develop for the various modules of Koha, support options, and even panel discussions featuring users of Koha talking about their experiences with the software. "We expect this event to have wide appeal," said Paul Poulain, BibLibre, CEO and Release Manager of Koha 2.x "The conference is for both techies and non-techies. In addition to presentations on the technical side of Koha, the conference will serve as a hands-on introduction to how users and developers around the world collaborate to make the Koha open-source software possible," Poulain explained. "Kohacon 2009 will be huge, everything is bigger in Texas. Plus you get to hear from some of the veteran Koha developers, complete with funny accents. What more could you want?" said Chris Cormack, one of the original authors of the Koha version 1.0, and current Translation Manager for the Project. This is a FREE conference. There is no registration fee, but conference organizers are requesting that all attendees pre-register using the registration form found at: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=pMSkZuQLLHD_R8MFCGWz4OQ Details (travel, hotels, tentative agenda, etc) can be found on the Koha wiki at: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=kohacon2009 About Koha Koha is the first open-source Integrated Library System (ILS). Gifted by Horowhenua Library Trust and now in use worldwide, its development is steered by a growing community of libraries collaborating to achieve their technology goals. The impressive set of features available in Koha continues to evolve and expand to meet the needs of its user base. Koha has lived up to its name, which means 'Gift' in the Maori language of New Zealand.

error when I try to translate koha
by gustavo 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Helo! We have instaled Koha few days ago on a Debian Etch server (perl 5.8.8), so it's running perfectly. Now I am trying to translate koha to spanish following the information I've found in /koha/koha-3.00.00/misc/translator/translator_doc.txt koha:~/koha/koha-3.00.00/misc/translator# ls install-code.pl po stats.pl text-extract.pl TmplTokenizer.pm TmplTokenType.pm translator_doc.txt VerboseWarnings.pm install.pl rebuild_lang.sh text-extract2.pl tmpl_process3.pl TmplToken.pm translator_doc.html update.pl xgettext.pl When I run the script .... koha:~/koha/koha-3.00.00/misc/translator# ./tmpl_process3.pl install --input=/usr/share/koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/prog/en -o=/usr/share/koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/prog/es -s=po/es-ES-i-staff-t-prog-v-3000000.po -r -q ... I get some warnings: Charset in/out: UTF-8 at ./tmpl_process3.pl line 257. % s: Unknown or unsupported format specification I think that the first one ("Charset in/out: UTF-8 at ./tmpl_process3.pl line 257") is not really a problem, just information about locale. But the second line ( % s: Unknown or unsupported format specification) is really a warning about an error, but I don't know exactly what does it mean and wich is the solution Do you know whether it is a bug or I'm doing something wrong?

Re: [Koha] Printing spine labels
by Brad Weishaupt 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

I emailed this to Oliver direct, but in case his junk mail grabs it or others have input, I copy it here. I am setting up a new multi-location KOHA, and am almost ready to print labels at the first location. I'm a non-librarian type trying to learn all this. Help! ------------- I am getting ready to start printing labels in a new KOHA installation, and saw your post (below) about the Gaylord label - a mixed label format (OCLC I think its called) that KOHA has no settings for (at least default ones). 1. I see you set up your own format (template) - could you send that to me? 2. What info did you place on your wide label? One thing I see as a problem is if you print a spine label and a bar code label, its difficult to know what book it is for without a title or author on either label. And I don't think I've seen a way to add title to the barcode label. We have over 1000 on this initial print. 3. In the smaller barcode numbers, they don't line up right: two digit barcodes run off the right side of the label, three digit barcodes are flush right, and four digit barcodes seem more centered. Did you run into that problem?
