Koha 3.0 - Catalog display problems - item type & No items available
by Bruce Raymond 27 Aug '08

27 Aug '08

Koha 3.0 with Zebra enabled Two issues in the catalog search results: First Issue: Initial search results (opac-search.pl): Most, but not all the records display the following: "Availability: No items available:" in the results. Opening the full record (opac-detail.pl) displays the available items correctly with available copies. Second Issue: When performing a search on the advanced search page (opac-search.pl) the searches fail if any of the limiters are selected. There is no error message, but no results either. Searches complete correctly from the page if no limiters are selected. Sample result: No Result found ! No results match your search for “kw,wrdl: james joycemc-itype:20” in Catalog Do you have any suggestions as to what may be the issue with these problems? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Koha-3.0---Catalog-display-problems---item-type---No-… Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Thanks Zewar for the reply, When I type 'intranet' in the url of the server machine, it works perfectly well, but my issue is regarding using the librarian page from other systems in the network. If you can help me in this regard, it would be great. Thanks, Sai Bhalaji Sri Sathya Sai university Prashanti Nilayam

Hi I have installed Koha 2.2.9 on windows XP. I am experiencing the following problems. (i) When i change the login user name and password from the default, Both OPAC and INTRANET crash. (ii) In biblio-framework structure, when edit subfields KOHA crashes. I also cannot see the option for disabling marc tags, only edit and delete options are visible . (iii) Does the above version come with sample MARC records? Any solutions? Thanks.

Reg: Member Entry Issue

I found the error in the log, that said invalid data going into 'gone no address' field. I tried hardcoding it as 1 in the script which worked, but is there any other way out for this? Also, please let me know the way to access the Librarian Interface from the other systems in the network just as the user interface. Thanks, Sai Bhalaji.

Re: [Koha] import records and map field to marc

Hi, Lenora Oftedahl wrote the following on 21/08/2008 16:26: > Barcode is mapped to 952p > Keywords would be 653a Thanks for that info. I'm a few steps further now. I managed to get my .csv file converted to a .mrc file using MarcEdit. With a bit of trial and error I found out that it's best to use 952$o for the Call number and 952$y for itemtype code. So for the record, this mapping list below imported nicely in Koha: Fields from OLD database MARC Field ($subfield) Cataloge Record No(barcode) 952$p Title 245$a Series 440$a Author 100$a ISBN 020$a Subject (repeatable) 650$a Extra (subject2) 650$a Publishing - Name 260$b Publishing - Place 260$a Publishing - Date 260$c Call number 952$o Item Type Code 952$y Location (branch) code 952$b One question though: What field is used to display the "Descriptions" tab when viewing a book in the OPAC? -Jochum > > I have changed the parameters in Koha to remove most of the mandatory requirements.

Just keep trying to run the program until the records all loaded. We found our installation was easier by breaking the MARC records into smaller chunks. Took a few minutes longer, but worth the wait when a couple of the batches had glitches. > > Lenora > > On Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 6:54 AM, Jochum van der Heide <jochum.vanderheide(a)lifehope.om.org> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I'm about to import our 6000 records from an old DOS based library system >> to Koha 3.0.

bulk import .pl script vs webinterface
by Jochum van der Heide 25 Aug '08

25 Aug '08

Hi, Nicole pointed out to me that I can use the "MARC Import (staging)" on the librarian webinterface, to import multiple records, which seems to work very well for me. I've seen on the list many people use the commandline tool bulkmarcimport.pl. What is the difference between the two? -Jochum Nicole Engard wrote the following on 21/08/2008 15:20: > I don't know :( you'll have to ask the entire Koha list.

It is working nicely here. But I have realized that http://opac/ and http://intranet/ is not working when I am not connected with internet.
