z3950 working well, thanks
by Marty Jongepier 27 Mar '06

27 Mar '06

I am kind of answering my own questions here now, but it might be useful for someone else. The reason my z3950 server didn't behave properly seems that in my imported biblio there were some author names with quotation marks around them and some that had not. (Don't ask me why, I have no clue) I removed all quotation marks and re-imported my list, and it works well now. Pretty cool, I would say. Only one thing; I still have to start it manually. Is it supposed to start when Koha starts, or when you start a search? Marty Jongepier

Marc Framework
by Nitin Madhavan 27 Mar '06

27 Mar '06

I am using Koha on Windows. I only have one, the default MARC framework. On checking the MARC structure, it has the tags I require like 852$c, 952, 037$n, etc. However, when adding biblio or editing the Marc values of any book, these Marc fields are not displayed. Only some of the fields from the MARC framework are available for editing. How do I get the required Marc fields for editing and adding data? Thanx Nitin

Installing on Debian sarge
by Nitin Madhavan 26 Mar '06

26 Mar '06

I have been using Koha on windows for a few weeks to check it out and have been very impressed. Since the z3950 feature is not available in the windows version, I am installing it on Linux (debian sarge). I am a newbie to linux and need all the help I can get. I have read up the guidelines for installation on woody and need the following clarifications : 1. I do not have a internet connection yet. Is there any way of downloading the required packages ( the perl modules and Yaz toolkit) on another computer and then copying them on to the hard drive of my comp for installation using apt? If yes, i would appreciate the exact procedure, the folder to copy into, etc. 2. The exact procedure for installing on Sarge for a linux-illiterate, if possible i also have a few queries reagrding Koha. Here goes 1. Can I check what books are there in the reservoir? 2. How does the auto barcode feature work? I have activated it in the system administartion page. But it still asks for a barcode when I add a new book. If i leave it blank and continue, it gives an error message asking me to enter the barcode. Thanks Nitin

RE: [Koha] z3950 questions

Thanks Tom, It seems it was indeed a matter of file permissions, also for the z3950-daemon-launch.sh file. I have imported one book with z3950, not much, but at least it seemed to work ok, although I had to start the daemon manually, and it gave an error on the 2nd I tried. But we'll work on that.

Koha on Mac OS X? Seeking more info
by Ann Sawusch 24 Mar '06

24 Mar '06

Hello. I am a newbie to this list. Could you point me to more information on using Koha in a Mac OS X environment? I found and read Stephen Hedges doc Installing Koha on Mac OS X.(2006) I am working with a group with no budget and a donated Mac (nice, running 10.3.?). Is it possible to establish a stable production Koha on OS X? What doesn't work or breaks with the absence of the Net::Z3950 module "and some other limitations"? I would be very interested in learning details of cons of Mac OS X. It will be a hardsell to strip out the OS X and rebuild in Linux. Folks have a comfort level with OS X (security, updating, network configuration...)and want to understand 'why not'. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Ann Sawusch asawusch at mac dot com

Entry Errors with large forms.
by GLBT Library 23 Mar '06

23 Mar '06

I have a problem with Koha. When I attempt to alter a biblio entry that has a field with enough data in it to cause it show up with the memo entry form component then it moves all the data around in the final biblio database entry. Nothing saves properly, which makes it very difficult for me to deal with situations where I find there are errors that should be a sinch to correct in biblio entries with long abstracts or statements of responsibility. If anyone has seen this error and knows how to fix it, or knows of a way to stop Koha from using the long memo format form entry I would greatly appreciate the advice. -- Victor J Kinzer Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Student Support Services Indiana University 705 E. 7th Street Bloomington, IN 47408 PH: 812-855-4252 FX: 812-855-4465 Email: glbtlib(a)indiana.edu URL: http://www.indiana.edu/~glbtlib/ For a listing of events at IU and surrounding area please check out our web page calendar: http://www.indiana.edu/~glbt/
