No issuelimits in category page?
by Marty Jongepier 11 Mar '06

11 Mar '06

Hello all, I have transfered all my borrowers to Koha 2.2.4, on a Debian system. However, when I try to issue something, it says: Too many issues (already issued / max : f 0/0) Now I figured this was because the issuelimit wasn't set. A quick look in the database confirmed this. According to the documentation I should be able to set the issuelimit in the category page, but there is no such field. It does exist in categorie.pl, but not in the category page. I checked the source page as well, it is not there. Any ideas anybody? Maybe I am all wrong? 2nd, I transfered everything from a CSV file, is there any way to get the dateenrolled field in Koha in such a way that it is functional? I mean, in such a way that it autocalculates the expiry date? Thanks, Marty Jongepier

penalty system and renewal
by Tarek Mehrem 09 Mar '06

09 Mar '06

Hi every one, 1- I'm using Koha 2.2.4, and I noticed that any due fees for a member is not shown when opening the circulation module/issues for that member. I know that i could see that warning in the old version 1.2.3 so that the memeber can't borrow until paying the fees. 2- In the same issue: is it possible that the system calculates automatically the penalty fees? 3- Renewing items: When I was using 1.2.3, I could renew items for any date I wanted (not necessarily the fixed period of loaning), but now when trying to do so, it gives me the fixed renewal period no matter what date I specify. Any ideas? Best regards Tarek Mehrem BUE Librarian Cairo-Egypt __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Please excuse duplicates. Greetings, Nylink <http://nylink.org/> invites you to participate in this survey on Open Source Software in Libraries. The goal of this survey, which has been created by the Nylink Open Source Advisory Group, comprised of librarians from Nylink member libraries and Nylink staff, is to collect information about the use of open source software in libraries. In particular, we hope to determine what open source software is being used in libraries or related organizations, and what the determining factors are in whether or not open source software is in use. The survey is at http://www.zoomerang.com/survey.zgi?p=WEB224ZXHBAYFD . The survey will remain open until March 31st. Results of the survey will be disseminated in Spring 2006.

z3950daemon failing to insert into marc_breeding
by William Macfarlane 07 Mar '06

07 Mar '06

When I try to use the z3950 lookup from the intranet or run processz3950queue from the console, I get the following output (in the log when I run from intranet), which all looks good to my untrained eye: 21383/45 : Processing isbn=0670839043 at AMICUS amicus.collectionscanada.ca:210 NL USMARC (1 forks) 21383/45 : 2 >> 21383/45 : creating and 21383/45 : working on results entry 42 21383/45 : connected to AMICUS 21383/45 : AMICUS : 1 records found, retrieving them (max 80) 21383/45 : AMICUS : amicus.collectionscanada.ca:210 records retrieved 1 SPEED: 0.5 21383/45 : amicus.collectionscanada.ca:210 search done. 21385/46 : Processing isbn=0670839043 at AMICUS amicus.collectionscanada.ca:210 NL USMARC (2 forks) 21385/46 : 2 >> 21385/46 : creating and 21385/46 : working on results entry 43 21385/46 : connected to AMICUS 21385/46 : AMICUS : 1 records found, retrieving them (max 80) 21385/46 : AMICUS : amicus.collectionscanada.ca:210 records retrieved 1 SPEED: 0.5 21385/46 : amicus.collectionscanada.ca:210 search done. I get results that look good in the z3950results table in the database and the items in the z3950queue table get marked as done like they are supposed to, but nothing ever makes it into the marc_breeding table or the uploaded_marcs table. Looking at the source code, I imagine that the ImportBreeding method (called on lines 227 and 289 of processz3950queue) would be updating the breeding table with the z3950 search results, but this does not seem to be happening. Am I off base here? Does anyone have any ideas about where I should be looking to get this happening? thanks, Will wmacfarl(a)gmail.com

Barcodes, any ideas which ones?
by Marty Jongepier 07 Mar '06

07 Mar '06

Hi all, My question is not specific Koha, but I know people must have dealt with this. I am moving a library system for our church from an old msdos based system to Koha. I have the luxury of having almost no constraints, but when I came to barcodes I learned there were more versions of barcodes than I bargained for. Does anybody have any advise to give or ideas about which ones are better for libraries than others? I can assign my own barcodenumbers and borrowernumbers, so I do not have any constraints there. (Some of you people must be soooo jealous...) I am planning to use kbarcode to generate the barcodes Thanks all, Marty Jongepier
