Z39.50 "no connection" errors
by Kevin O'Rourke 24 Aug '06

I've been trying to use Z39.50 searches from within Koha. I have the daemon running and have restarted it after updating the server list. The problem is that it doesn't seem to be able to connect to the servers, see the attached log file for details. In the Koha user interface it just sits showing 'Still ?? requests to go' forever. Using yaz-client I was able to connect to the National Library of Scotland server and retrieve the record. I've attached a log of the yaz-client session. Any ideas what's wrong? I'm thinking z3950-daemon configuration issues.

Re: [Koha] Koha Barcode Generation

This only works for Linux with KDE as far as I know, but it might help somebody. I have worked around this problem by using kbarcode (http://www.kbarcode.net/) I think it works wonderful, it can get it's information from the mysql database (and other ones too) and if you know a tiny little bit of java you can automate spine labels too. And you can produce almost any barcode you can think off.

Hi all, Stephen has just finished a new version of the index page for kohadocs.org. This one validates, and all the style information has been moved to the css file (submissions for a new stylesheet are therefore welcome ;-)). Thanks Stephen! Additionally, the new index page links to the new Arabic documentation as well as documentation on the Katipo corpSerials module that is finished and will appear in 3.0.

z39.50 host in new zealand
by jennyzhang 24 Aug '06

24 Aug '06

Dear all I just installed koha for our school, everything seems ok. I am sure my z39.50 works properly. The problem is the Z39.50 host. Many books in my school are about business,cookery, hospitality and English language. When I try to do a z39.50 search, always get the message of "Nothing found". I can only find a few of books. I am in New Zealand. Can somebody tell me some z39.50 server? The server I added are: National library of New Zealand National library of Aus Australia national university library.bangor.ac.uk library.hull.ac.uk Thanks for any help. Jenny

I am in New Zealand. Can somebody tell me some >z39.50 server? > Yup, definitely sounds as though you're inquiring at the wrong inns. Not that those libraries are bad, you're just looking at the wrong spot. What sort of library are you? You mention school -- Are you an academic library or an elementary school library or something else? How large are you? How old is your collection? Although the servers geographically close to you are sometimes more likely to hold similar materials, there's a greater correlation between the type of library you're querying. So, you're basically trying to think up someone who's rather like you to swap records with. Is HLT running a z39.50 server? If you're more academic, the Conrad N. Hilton Library at the Culinary Institute of America should certainly have a bunch of cookery books, not to mention some on hospitality and restauranteurship. http://209.203.176.27 I was able to export a record manually by the procedures I described yesterday.

Can you attach the full barcodeGenerator.pl? This piece of code should replace the code under continuous generation 'if' and the correspondant 'else'?

How to associate a readinf fee with each book?
by Venita Glasfurd 24 Aug '06

24 Aug '06

Hi all, I have just installed Koha2.2.4 for windows and have the following question. I am trying to build a library system for renting out books and each book has a reading fee associated with it. Does koha support this? Or is there a work around for this purpose? My library rules state that a fine of 1% of the reading fee is to be applied if the book is returned after its due date. Has anyone done something similar to implement this? If so, please share ideas or give me pointers. I am totally new to perl and Koha, so appreciate any information. Thanks, Venita.

Problem with searching....
by Alex King 24 Aug '06

24 Aug '06

I have set up a koha system and entered a number of books in it. That is I have entered some biblio data and assigned a barcode etc. However, whenever I try to search for an item nothing ever shows up. Both the search function through the catalogue section of the main system and the opac system fail to return items. If I search the OPAC and I know there should be a match, I get taken to a results page (cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?bib=) (note no data after the bib=) which has headings but no actual data. If I search the OPAC for something that is not in the db, I get taken to a different page, where I am told: " You searched on **containsxxxxx*. 0 results found No results found. Sorry, there were no results " Where I searched for xxxxx. Hmmmm. It looks like the "No results found" case has html generated from opac-search.pl where the "results" page is generated by opac-detail.pl after a redirect from opac-search.pl. Any clues? Alex
