windows kohaadmin default password???
by John 12 Mar '08

12 Mar '08

I have just managed to install koha for windows and it runs OK. I can get into it by typing 128.0.0.1 in the address bar. However before starting to enter data I want to get into the administrator's area. I have tried kohaadmin as the username but can't work out what the password might be. Can anyone help this newbie? thanks.

MARC field question
by wdpartners 11 Mar '08

11 Mar '08

This is more of a cataloging question than a programming one: I have an ipod loaded with audiobooks that I want to circulate to our library users. I need to barcode it as a single item, but I would like the titles of the audiobooks to be searchable using the "advanced search" title field. Since I cannot put in multiple title fields (245a), is there another field I can use that will let me put in multiple fields, but also be searchable in the "title" search field? I guess this would be similar to circulating a music CD and listing it's titles in the 505 2 field, but in my case, the books on my ipod are by different authors. I'm not really a MARC cataloger, so would appreciate any guidance! Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/MARC-field-question-tp15950907p15950907.html Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Koha 3.0 NoReturnSetLost preference
by Pauley 11 Mar '08

11 Mar '08

Good Morning; Is the preference NoReturnSetLost in Koha 3.0? I see it referenced in Context.pm but see no place to set/change it in System Preferences? It seems my books are getting set to lost right away but I cannot find this preference to turn it off/on. Thanks.

mysql 5.0 and Koha on Gutsy (Ubuntu)
by H.S. 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

Hello, A machine running Koha (still in the setup phase, not operational yet) was upgraded from Fiesty to Gutsy. However, this also forced an upgrade of MySQL from 4.x version to 5.0. Should there be a problem with Koha? If so, I will either try to downgrade MySQL on Gutsy (4.x version doesn't seem to be available for it, though) or maybe give Koha 3.0 a shot (if it works with MySQL 5.x). This is for a very small community library. What is the general advice about Koha 3.0 for this? thanks, ->HS

Loading records from book vendors
by David Schuster 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

I suspect people are doing this(Follett, Ingram, Baker and Taylor Marc records) - are you using the 952 tag for the local holding information and using bulkimport.pl to load items and bibs etc??? Playing with Koha. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Loading-records-from-book-vendors-tp15950895p15950895… Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Koha] [Koha-devel] Re: Follett to Koha 2.2.9 migration help
by Jesse Weaver 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

We've actually tested this at our library; 952c is the item type, and 947 holds the rest of the item info. It turns out that if anything on the same tag as the item is mapped to any other table, things break horridly. The MARC Check does show this, just not very clearly (some weird grumbling in the itemnumber check). Other than that, we haven't had any problems. None of Koha seems to assume that 952 must be the item tag. -- Jesse

Need Koha 3.00 (Zebra or NoZebra) guidance.
by hurrells＠hurrells.ca 08 Mar '08

08 Mar '08

Hello. I tried a complete koha 3.00 install with zebra. Koha works well, zebrasrv runs and lets koha search, however I get Error 109 messages as per my previous post. Rebuilt zebra indexes with no improvement. What I would like to know is: - Is there anyone who is using koha 3.00 with zebra successfully? - Are you using the stock koha 3.00 or something newer from git? - Any ideas what my problem is? - Any planned movement on a koha 3.1 or newer release candidate? I guess that I should either retry a complete install again or if nobody responds then I'll try going NoZebra. - Is this a better choice for stock 3.00? I've started taking a peek at evergreen as well but the non-web staff client is a bit of a disappointment over koha's web-centric approach.

Unsure why this happened but if our ISP bans you there is usually a good reason. No saying you but maybe somebody else has abused your telco. Google search for abuse and maybe you can find out the reason why. >I'm not against the web forum interface. I'm against splitting the >koha user community into very small pieces. I would like to point out that you are not fracturing the community. What you are doing is focusing knowledge. My questions about a Ubuntu install are going to different then someone else's on Windows. Breaking them up allows people to find information faster. I may also have questions on data conversion. Maybe I am usnure how to start asking questions. By hitting the section on data conversion I can lots of different questions. I may even run across someone who has asked a question on it that answers everything I need to know to pull it off or it wil help me to focus my question to get the best out of the group. People are free to graze whatever channel they like. As I mentioned in my long post the bike forum I belong to I read a minimum of 3 sections a day. I do not feel like I am not a part of any of the groups when I start posting in a new part. A good community like they are always makes me feel welcome. > The current web forum groups all the responses into one place (and > threads them) and allows easy searching. My current experience with this is that it is a mess. I have a hard time finding the information I need. It takes to long to get a proper response. The history of a thread is right in front of me and I can see how an idea is developed. The current format does not and I often waste lots of time trying to run through and entire thread not knowing where at in the thread may be my answer. > Is there any evidence that "forum boards are strong for the general > person"? The three forums I visit are very strong. Posts every day and they tend to be quick for answers. Look at majorgeeks.com with their forums. I usually get a quick response there that works. A community is only as strong as the people want to make it. The nice thing about forums is that people can start to feel like they are actual neighbors and because of this more work gets done. > Some of us have been weighing in, but it seems like we're being > ignored. Over 90% of forums are ghost towns, often because they've > been forked over too much. Please don't make the same mistake for koha. Well I will let you know that if the support set up for koha does not change into something more coherent it will continued to be ignored at large. This group needs to change something to make it work better and for the knowledge that group has be accessed in a better way. Could you imagine a library organized this way?
