Item not for loan problem
by Pauley 31 Aug '07

31 Aug '07

Hello; I have imported items using bulkmarcimport.pl and most seem to work fine. My reference materials say they are available but when I try to issue one I get : Error Issuing Item: Item not for loan The itemtype is REF and description is Reference. I have filled out all the fields in the Issuing Rules, changed and resaved them a number of times. Am I missing something somewhere that would block the issuing of these items? I have looked at the field for "use restrictions" (field y in "Items") and that is set to 0. Here is the error I get from the error log: HERE : 0 / (3 for 1 at /usr/local/koha/intranet/modules/C4/Circulation/Circ2.pm line 650., referer: http://library.lyncs.org:8010/cgi-bin/koha/circ/circulation.pl I was getting a fetchrow() error but I enabled large tables in mySQL and that seemd to go away. So, any Ideas? Thanks for your help Paul Davis Lynden Christian Schools -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Item-not-for-loan-problem-tf4351355.html#a12398715 Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

XSS Vulnerabilities in Koha
by Andrew Yager 30 Aug '07

30 Aug '07

Hi, First let me say that this is not a very serious security issue, so please don't freak out. We've just done an audit of Koha (OPAC and Intranet) and have found a number of XSS vulnerabilities in the code. This allows a malicious attacker, with a carefully crafted web site to potentially trick your users into providing sensitive information to a site other than yours (e.g. usernames and passwords). Is anyone aware of patches for these currently in circulation? If not, I'll have a look at the problems and attempt to address them and then release a patch. Thanks, Andrew Some info about XSS: http://sandsprite.com/Sleuth/papers/RealWorld_XSS_1.html http://www.cert.org/tech_tips/malicious_code_FAQ.html http://www.cgisecurity.com/articles/xss-faq.shtml _________________________ Andrew Yager, Managing Director (BCompSc MACS) Real World Technology Solutions Pty Ltd ph: 1300 798 718 or (02) 9563 4840 fax: (02) 9563 4848 mob: 0405 152 568 http://www.rwts.com.au/ _________________________ Real World Technology Solutions is an Authorised Apple Reseller, Telstra Dealer, Microsoft Small Business Solutions Specialist, Cisco Registered Partner and Member of Open Source Industry Australia.

We are facing a problem after transferring data from WINISIS to Koha. The following steps are adopted during data transfer. 1. In the first stage the Data is transferred from WINISIS to MS Excel. 2. In the 2nd step the Data in MS Excel is transferred to MS Access . 3. In the 3rd step the Data in MS Access is transferred to MYSQL But unfortunately, when the data search operation is applied in Koha, the transferred data through above steps cannot be searched. If we insert data through Koha directly, that data can be searched but if we transfer the data through the above mentioned three steps then the data cannot be searched. Your valued comments and guidance will be highly appreciated. Obaidullah

Barcode generation
by Noel Goodman 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

Has anyone tried using a barcode generating software to generate custom barcodes for koha? If any successful attempt was made I would like to know what software works and how do we interface it with koha.

Re: [Koha] Barcode generation

Salvete! >What I wish we could do on Koha is use the ISBN barcodes on our books >as the identifier. That would simplify everything, excepting the >multiple copies and those books that lack barcodes entirely. >Paul Scaer >Science Leadership Academy >Philadelphia Koha absolutely could do this. You'd just need to turn the auto generate barcode feature off then scan in the ISBN barcode when you get to the items screen in Add Biblio cataloguing. For multiple copies, you could always use an existing barcode you have on hand OR put an additional digit for the copy number after the ISBN barcode by hand. Depending on how many you had that lacked barcodes entirely, you could purchase vendor barcodes or generate a few thousand using either a separate utility or the built in generator prior to turning that feature off. Does this make any sense to you? Cheers, Brooke @ Hinsdale MA

addbiblio.pl still failing
by Grant Johnson 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

Related to 050/090 in Parameters? - addbiblio.pl scripts is still failing. Does this have to with the MARC tags in the records trying to be imported? I can import a batch into the Reservoir but "add a biblio and go to Item" causes addbiblio.pl to ask "What do I want to do with the file?" Can I see the contents of the Reservoir? Here's koha-error_log: Hoping for some idea's!

Re: [Koha] Import query (S P Suresh)
by Martin Morris 29 Aug '07

Hello Suresh, I'm no koha expert, but I would solve your problem by writing a little perl script to convert your data into MARC format and then import it into your new Koha installation. I had to do something similar to import data for a library I'm migrating to koha, which currently uses a little custom script to parse its biblios which are held in a text file, each line something like this: munns donaldw|londonanidoj|p||MUNNS, Donald W|812 -311.2 MUN| Londonanidoj|Rickmansworth (GB)|Esperanto Publishing Company|1946| 98p. 18cm.||K19b Munns 424| The script I used is very quick and dirty, and looks like this (I can send the whole thing if you'd like...): ------ #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use MARC::Record; use Data::Dumper; open (KOHADATA, "ludkatalogo.txt"); open(OUTPUT, '> katalogo.mrc'); my $c = 0; my @marcfields; while ( <KOHADATA> ) { $c++; print "\n$c\n"; @marcfields = split(/\|/,$_); print $marcfields[5]; # Create a new record my $record = MARC::Record->new(); $record->encoding( 'UTF-8' ); # Cataloging Source my $catsource = MARC::Field->new( '040','','', a => 'Biblioteko Butler', b => 'epo', c => 'Martin Morris <martin(a)martinmorris.org>', d => 'Martin Morris <martin(a)martinmorris.org>' ); # UDC Classification my $udc = MARC::Field->new( '080','','', 2 => 'Biblioteko Butler', a => $marcfields[5] ); # Geoff King's Classification my $gkclass = MARC::Field->new( '084','','', a => $marcfields[12], 2 => 'Geoffrey King <ancientbriton(a)tiscali.co.uk>' ); # Author my $author = MARC::Field->new( '100',1,'', a => $marcfields[4] ); [.....various other fields imported appropriately] $record->append_fields($catsource, $udc, $gkclass, $author, $titleinfo, $publicationplace, $physicals, $bibliographic, $kohastuff, $koha952); print OUTPUT $record->as_usmarc(); } close(OUTPUT); close(KOHADATA); Yours would probably need to interrogate your simple table and create the array that way, before dumping as MARC records. Anyway, that may help. I imagine some of the gurus on here will come up with a better idea though!
