Save Customized MARC bibliographic framework
by Pseudo Admin 13 Jun '08

13 Jun '08

We have customized MARC bibliographic framework and created one based on our needs. We would like to save it for backup so that we could use it in case we decide to reinstall/upgrade koha or system meltdown. Where do I find the MARC frameworks? We wish to save them as individual files and restore them as necessary. Which files do I need to save/archive?

Is there a way to have Koha automatically set the item type in 942c based on the information found from the fixed information field 000_6 when importing records? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Link-fixed-information-field-000_6-to-942c--tp1777637… Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Shelving location when entering an item.
by Michael Lasater 12 Jun '08

12 Jun '08

Hello, We have recently installed Koha for evaluation purposes. At the moment, I am entering items into the catalog. When entering an item I would like to choose a shelving location that is not in the drop down box for c-Shelving location in the edit Item form. (I believe it is the MARC 952 c field). How would I add an item to that drop down list? Thank you very much, Michael Lasater ---------------------------------- Rolling Hills Consolidated Library 1912 N. Belt Highway St. Joseph, MO 64506

Serials
by ssmith＠boystown.com.au 12 Jun '08

12 Jun '08

Hi all I'm a solo librarian new to Koha and I'm sorting through some issues of the system being set up by people who had no idea how libraries are supposed to function : ) This is the version etc. I'm using: Koha version: 2.2.7 OS version: Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] Perl version: 5.008008 MySQL version: mysql Ver 12.22 Distrib 4.0.26, for Win32 (ia32) I have a problem for which there may be an easy answer. I'm trying to make the Serials Module go. I seem to have set up the subscription details okay. I attempt to receive an issue, press save and get this error: "Premature end of script headers : statecollection.pl" Then I can't seem to receive any more issues, or even replicate the problem unless I delete the subscription completely and start again. Any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks Sarah Smith

original cataloging
by Suzanne Gilbert 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

Hello, I'm spending my summer trying to figure out version 3.0 (we have been using version 1.2.? It's so old I can't remember). Anyway, I think I am correctly getting the books on the computer, but I haven't figured out how to do Original Cataloging...when the book cannot be found through the z39.50 search. I will have to admit I am not good with computers, so it might be obvious and I'm not seeing it. Can anyone help? Thanks so much. Suzanne

Web Archives (pipermail) for Koha.org mailing lists not appearing for June 2008
by Ricardo Dias Marques 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

Hi list, I just noticed that the Web Archives (run by the software pipermail) for the Koha.org mailing lists are NOT appearing for the current month (June 2008). The problem does NOT happen with the Koha mailing list that is (still?) hosted in the lists.katipo.co.nz subdomain. You can check this problem by going to the Web Archives of the Koha-Devel mailing list: http://lists.koha.org/pipermail/koha-devel/ ... and see that there is NO entry for June 2008 in the HTML table. Other evidence of this is that going to: http://lists.koha.org/pipermail/koha-devel/2008-June/thread.html ... returns a "404 Not Found" error. On the other hand, the Web Archives for the Koha mailing list (koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz) correctly display an entry for June 2008: http://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/ And here are the June 2008 Archives for the Koha mailing list: http://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2008-June/thread.html Is this a known problem?

Creating an INSTALL.opensuse file and Koha 3 and openSUSE versions
by Ricardo Dias Marques 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

Hi, Following up the request from Joshua Ferraro asking me to create an INSTALL.opensuse file - http://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2008-May/013916.html - here I am writing some questions regarding WHAT versions of Koha 3 and openSUSE I should target. I'm asking this because: 1 - openSUSE 11.0 is "just around the corner": the RC1 ("Release Candidate 1") is scheduled for the 29th of the current month (May 2008). The final version is scheduled for the 19th June - http://en.opensuse.org/Roadmap/11.0 I already tried to install Koha 3 Beta 2 in the current openSUSE available Beta (openSUSE 11 Beta 3). Besides an annoying bug in package selection during openSUSE installation ( already acknowledged and corrected for RC1: "Package selector doesn't show any pattern" - https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=390139 ), the installation of Koha wasn't harder than it usually is. Actually, Koha installation was EASIER on openSUSE 11.0 Beta 3: at least, CPAN installation was easier than it was in openSUSE 10.3, because CPAN "setup wizard" now asks if it can assume what it thinks to be reasonable defaults. If you say "yes", CPAN just sets up itself. Pretty neat! :) So, my first question is: Should I create documentation for openSUSE 10.3 or for openSUSE 11 (Beta 3 / RC 1 / Final)? I would like very much to get feedback on that. However, I do think that the answer to that question depends partially on the answer to another question: 2 - Is a Beta 3 / Release Candidate of Koha 3 expected to be available soon? If a "Beta 3" of Koha is also "just around the corner", then it may make sense to create setup instructions based on openSUSE 10.3. If we're still moderately far from a Beta 3 / Release Candidate of Koha 3, it seems to me that basing the instructions on openSUSE 11 would be a "better bet". Another "issue" would be that it probably makes sense to integrate Koha dependencies that were created after Koha 3 Beta 2 (like the HTML::Scrubber Perl Module and ImageMagick) in this document. A final (?) question: based on feedback from Jesse (pianohacker at gmail.com) and Joshua Ferraro, I'm thinking of "putting" up an initial version of this document with instructions to install Koha in openSUSE in the Koha Developer's Wiki - http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php - letting people review and improve on it (thanks to Brendan Gallagher for already having volunteered to help!), and then putting the "final" version in the git tree as the INSTALL.opensuse text file. Comments and questions about all this... please? :) Best wishes, Ricardo Dias Marques lists AT ricmarques DOT net

Results display in Koha 3
by Tim McMahon 10 Jun '08

10 Jun '08

I'm trying to upgrade from 2.2 to 3 and the search results aren't correct. In the OPAC listing, it tells me the item is available even if it's checked out. It will tell me it's checked out if I click on it to get more detail In the intranet listing, it tells me the item is available even if it's checked out. In the detail view, it tells me it's checked out with the patrons name and the due date, but below that it says it's available. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? -- Tim McMahon Technical Services West Liberty Public Library 400 N.
