Self Check-Out
by Catherine Fagan 25 Jul '07

25 Jul '07

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone knows if Koha has a self check-out option or what the easiest, most effective way to create this would be? Id like my patrons to be able to check out books themselves, but arent so keen on having the admin side of everything open to them to play with! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

"Too many issues" Circulation error
by Felipe Rodriguez 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

Hi all! I'm a newbie, trying to run Koha for a Yoga Library! At this moment I set up all main system administration options ("Issuing rules" included) but I have the following message when I try to borrow a book to a Patron that doesn't have any book issued: "Please Confirm Issue: Too many issues (already issued / max : a 0 / 0)" I readed in a post (subject: "issuing rules") that the Circ2.pm has a logical error in the sub TooMany. There was a corrected version of the sub, but when I edit my Circ2.pm file the Koha System can't start... I don't know if that is the real problem!! I will appreciate any help...I need the Issuing Rules working to star to use Koha! I'm running the Koha version: 2.2.8 for Windows, Perl version: 5.008008 MySQL version: mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.45, for Win32 (ia32) Apache version: 2.2.4-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8d Best Regards, Felipe

New Z39.50 search tool
by Jason Ronallo 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

Hi, I am writing to point other Koha users to a tool I created for copy cataloging (MARC21 records) via anonymous Z39.50 servers. I wrote the script because copy cataloging in Koha was so laboriously slow and I needed to catalog a whole collection as quickly and accurately as possible. Since creating something that worked just for me, I've continued to develop the tool to make it more powerful and easier to use for others. It's written in Ruby and requires rubygems are installed. Features include: * Scripted changes to records, like macros. Delete and append with option to be prompted for input. * Output CSV file, useful for printing custom labels. * Grouped parallel searches of zservers to make searching quicker while allowing broad searching as well. * Save to file, a simple zebra server, or Koha 2.2.X (via bulkmarcimport.pl). For more information on features, please see: http://zcc.rubyforge.org/zcc.html For how to use the script to save records into Koha see: http://zcc.rubyforge.org/koha.html Please let me know if you have any questions, find bugs, or need other features. I've tried to provide good documentation on the website, within configuration files, and help within the script itself. Please let me know how I can make it clearer. I hope this helps someone. --Jason Ronallo

Gah - it just gets worse : root@rsu-test:/# apt-get install build-essential Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies. build-essential: Depends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installedor libc-dev Depends: g++ (>= 4:4.1.1) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages which to choose ?

I really really want to set up a test/evaluation koha. Really. I do. I have a ubuntu box, pretty much basic ubuntu server 7.04 LAMP. I followed the basic instructions, and ran perl installer.pl, which tells me I need to install some perl packages - fine, no problem, so off I go ... remaining list of packages to install is : export LC_ALL=C perl -MCPAN -e 'install "Date::Calc"' perl -MCPAN -e 'install "ZOOM"' perl -MCPAN -e 'install "You will need PDF::API2 for barcode generator"' perl -MCPAN -e 'install "You will need GD::Barcode for the new barcode generator"' perl -MCPAN -e 'install "You will need Data::Random for the new barcode generator"' perl -MCPAN -e 'install "You will need PDF::Reuse::Barcode for the new barcode generator"' perl -MCPAN -e 'install "You will need Net::LDAP if you want to authentify patrons through a LDAP"' So - doing the Date::Calc entry : first it suggests I might want to upgrade to newer CPAN from v1.7602 to v1.9102 with install Bundle::CPAN then reload cpan, but I continue ... I get blah blah blah, then Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Warning: prerequisite Bit::Vector 6.4 not found. ...
