I'm trying to get Koha 2.2.9 running on Ubuntu server 7.10.

how does koha save data
by Octavee Uhl 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

Hello, does anyone know how koha saves biblio and item data? Obviusly the data gets saved in different places twice. When I change the data for a biblio or an item in the mysql database it is only changed in the opac fields or the simple view fields in opac. When I switch to the complete view in opac I see a different value. For exapmple when I change a title in the database (without going through the koha intranet interface) it only gets changed in the simple view in opac. The reason why I am asking is that for checking errors the koha intranet is way too slow and time consuming. Through the mysql database it is much faster and easier. Thank you Regards Octavee __________________________________ Koha version 2.2.8 OS version Linux Librarian 2.6.18-4-686 -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/how-does-koha-save-data-tp14764224p14764224.html Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

trouble with z3950 search
by Marshall Levin 12 Jan '08

12 Jan '08

Hi, I'm using Koha 2.2.9 with Ubuntu (the pre-build vmware image) and I'm having trouble with the z3950 search. I first added the LOC server but whenever I'd search by ISBN (making sure to look for an item I knew was in the catalog), I'd get a 500 Server Error. I then tried adding the Harvard University z3950 server and the Boston Metro Library z3950 server and tried searching by ISBN for items I knew were in their catalogs. This time I wouldn't get a 500 error but would always get "no item found" or whatever the message was. Anything I might be doing wrong? I did make sure to start the z3950 daemon. Thanks

To answer first question: which type of bar-code scanner. The easiest is to mount what is called a "wedge wand" (that is a handheld bar code reader that connect between a PC keyboard and a PC) on one or more client terminals, (not on the server). Price goes between 100USD and 300USD for good quality, reliable bar code readers (Intermec, Symbol). Typical encoding is Code39 for numbers. Once this wand is installed, you can scan the ISBN number bar code (already present on most book back covers) and of course any additional bar code label you may have designed. The wedge wand simple principle is the following: whenever your client terminal Koha administrator interface is waiting for an input (on the right MARC field, of course), the stream of hand type digits can be replaced by a single scan of the proper label with the wand. Speed and error free are the benefits. If the wand is out of order, you can still enter those number manually. During lending and return operations, the bar code reading with the wand will come handy. You can also go one step farther and make borrower cards with bar-codes (another story) so identifying the borrower and his book is now completely automated. Now the trickier part is to create the book label(s) themselves: you don't want too much or too little information on the label. Just the right amount for the job. The current program for printing labels in Koha 2.2.9 uses large sheet of many labels (by the way, I have not been able to print them correctly so far). I would appreciate an easier program that prints a single label at a time (using a small label printer, not a standard laser printer) at the end of the cataloguing operation of one book. Has anyone worked on such a single label program ? Michel Virard, ing. - Symtec international 101-5000 Decelles, Montréal, QC, H3V 1J1 Tél. 514 343 4571 - Fax. 514 343 9403 mvirard(a)symtec.ca

Printing spine labels
by Karen Myers 11 Jan '08

11 Jan '08

Hi all I am new to Koha and have two problems with my installation of Koha 2.2.7 on Win XP. The first one is that when I load the default or personalized cataloguing page the page hangs with the "Please wait while page loads" status at top. I have to reload the page several times to clear the message. Any clues? Secondly is a problem with printing spine labels. When I open the PDF from the selected records I can see an ISBN and item type printed but not the call number. A similar problem has been discussed before on the list and I have tried the solutions suggested such as adding the ::BASIC:: to the barcodeGenerator.pl file without success. Any other suggestions would be gratefully received. thanks Karen Myers _________________________________________________________________ Advertisement: 1000s of Sexy Singles online now at Lavalife http://a.ninemsn.com.au/b.aspx?URL=http%3A%2F%2Flavalife9%2Eninemsn%2Ecom%2…
