Re: [Koha] Catalog search returns "No results found"

Hello, Thanks for your response. Checking the error logs is a good idea, but I'm not sure I understand what I am finding there. Also, I have found some errors when I do the MARC Bibliographic framework test. I was able to fix one of the errors but I'm still looking into the other one. Under the Item tag test the result is "There is more than 1 MARC tag related to items tab (10) : 852,952,". I think I understand what it means, but I don't know how or where to fix it. - mc On Tue, Nov 11, 2008 at 12:17 PM, Magnus Enger <magnus(a)enger.priv.no> wrote: > Hi, Melisa! > > Have you checked the error-logs?

Re: [Koha] Adding support for NORMARC to Koha 3

It is quite a big task. Yes, I'm quite sure Norwegian libraries and librarians will find a requirement to convert their beloved NORMARC-records into MARC21 before migrating to Koha quite a turn-off. I guess it will also be problematic to import records via Z39.50 from our national library or other large libraries into a MARC21 system. The size of the task - and the different sub-tasks involved - is one of the things I'm trying to figure out! ;-) > > I start off with a working installation with the default MARC21 > structure, > > and I have created an SQL-file that I run against the database in an > > attempt > > to delete MARC21 and replace it with NORMARC: > > http://github.com/MagnusEnger/normarc4koha/tree/master/normarc.sql > > > > When I ran this against one of the beta versions prior to the stable 3.0 > it > > seemed to work.

With something like "rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z", right? What strikes me as somewhat strange about the behaviour I'm seeing now, is that reindexing does not seem to affect it. If I load my definition I get the error, without me doing any reindexing. To me it looks like Koha is doing some checking of the MARC-structure and throwing an error before it performs an actual search? Regards, Magnus

z39.50 search always returns "no results" am I missing a setting?
by Ella Delaney 14 Nov '08

I configured my search targets (see below), but am still getting no results. Is there another setting I need to adjust/turn on? * TIP: First make sure you have set up your Z39.50 search targets o Get there: More > Administration > Additional Parameters > Z39.50 Client Targets * Click on 'import' to import the record of your choice.

Records/Items don't display
by Marisa Wood 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

Okay, firstly I just want to thank everyone for all of their help and apologize for cluttering the list so much in the last couple of days. I think I'm almost there, but when I conduct a search in the catalog, I get blank results. It's not that it's not finding anything; it's just that the records are blank. When I try to add item data to the biblios that I find by searching the cataloging module, I get the following error The following fatal error has occurred: Can't call method "fields" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 1642. The URL in the browser reads http://koha.bcr.org:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/additem.pl?biblionumbe r= I get the same result in the OPAC if I try to add one of the items to a list or the cart. If I manually insert a biblionumber into the URL, I can pull up a record, but it won't do it on its own. I've run the rebuild script and resolved all of the errors that came up in the log and am totally stumped. I'd be eternally grateful for any suggestions on getting past my latest road block.

sound cues
by Sharon Moreland 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

Hi all, According to a chat I had with Owen on #koha, there has been some discussion of creating sound cues in the staff client with a 'small embedded flash file to play the sound." Our librarians want auditory feedback at both checkin and checkout, so they can interact with the books and patron, rather than looking at the screen after every scan to make sure the transaction was completed successfully. What is the status on this? Is it an enhancement that may be in 3.2? Sharon Moreland Northeast Kansas Library System NExpress Shared Catalog

Just a thought: How about not hardcoding this, but rather turning it into a preference, so libraries can choose what works for them?

Wrong SAX Parser - does it matter?
by agiesler＠wisc.edu 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

Hello, I'm installing Koha 3 on Ubuntu 8.10. When I try this: # ./misc/sax_parser_print.pl .instead of the expected "XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser=." I get "XML::SAX::Expat=.". Does it matter? A few days ago I made it through a Koha install this way and things seemed to work fine anyway. Will this lead to subtle errors if I don't fix it? I've read this post (http://www.nabble.com/XML::LibXML-problem-td19159082.html) but I still don't see the expected parser string. Before trying the script I've done all of these: # apt-get install libgdbm-dev # apt-get install libxml-libxml-perl # cpan XML::LibXSLT # cpan XML::LibXML # cpan XML::LibXML::SAX # cpan XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser ----------------------------------------------------------------- Andy Giesler University of Wisconsin-Madison

Error while Creation of Budget for Book Funds
by Sai Bhalaji D. 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

Hi, I have an issue in creating budget for the bookfunds. When I try to create a budget for the book fund, when I click on OK, it does not display the entered budget. I checked the log and found the error message as shown below: [Wed Nov 12 11:26:34 2008] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Incorrect integer value: '' for column 'aqbudgetid' at row 1 at C:/usr/koha229/intranet/cgi-bin/koha/admin/aqbudget.pl line 170., referer: http://intranet/cgi-bin/koha/admin/aqbudget.pl?op=add_form&bookfundid=BIO I checked the script and just deleted the aqbudgetid parameter that was being passed in since the database had an autoincrement. This gave me a solution to the issue. But is there any other proper way of doing this. Also, I found in the database that, the branchcode for the budget is not getting entered. Please let me know, what needs to be done regarding this. Thanks, Sai Bhalaji Sri Sathya Sai University.
