itemcallnumber
by Mike D. 19 Aug '05

19 Aug '05

Part of my question is what does the itemcallnumber preference setting do exactly? I've read the section in the user's guide several times and it's still not clear to me. Is it supposed to give you a default call number from another MARC field? Say I have item.itemcallnumber linked to 952c now if I set the itemcallnumber preference to 050a should it copy the contents of 050a to 952c as a default call number to edit when adding an item? OR Is it used to tell the opac what the callnumber field is? So instead of displaying/searching a call number using biblioitems.classification it uses 952c? This seems somewhat circular to me so I'm think it's the other one. I think I might be visiting an old topic here but I didn't see any solution to the thread in the archives. Regarding the thread "opac call number display different in normal & marc views" from 2005-05-15, I am experiencing the same issue where item level call numbers show in MARC view but not normal view. I know VERY little about perl but I managed to figure out that if I change /usr/local/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/npl/en/opac-detail.tmpl at line 95 from <td></td> to <td></td> it will display the proper item level call number. Is this a really crude hack and am I likely to break something? I've noticed several other areas of the NPL intranet interface where the Call Number is inconsistent. Sometimes it uses biblioitems.classification and others it uses item.itemnumber. Can these screens be fixed in a similar manner? Is there a better way?

Re: renewal problem

Hi, I find some problem with renewal. when I try to renew the books currently on issue, some of the books get renewed while others do not. This works fine some times, but not always. Can anyone please help me to solve this. If I have to check the code, which file do I look into. Please help me out of this. I am in real trouble. Regards Rajam S Owen wrote: I everything is working correctly, there are a couple of reasons why items might not renew: 1. The item is on reserve for another borrower 2. The item has been renewed already, up to the renewal limit Have you checked to see whether either of these is correct? -- Owen Hi, I have checked that the item is not on reserve. But is there any limit on the number of renewals for an item. If so how can I edit the number? can anyone please help me out of this? I am really in trouble.

NPL - Z39.50 - returns results and then reloads nonexistent page (Error 404)
by Mike D. 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

Hi, I've got something strange happening with the z39.50 client. When I do a Z39.50 search it opens a new window and automatically starts refreshing the page. It will say "Still ?? requests to go" then start returning results and the ?? starts counting down. It briefly displays the final results but then does one last refresh resulting in an Error 404 Page not found message. I ONLY have this issues when using the NPL intranet interface. The default interface seems to work fine. _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list Koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha

MARC subject headings indexing and display: coming along?
by kim＠secondhandknowledge.net 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

Hi Koha people, I was just checking in to see if there is any news/progress on the MARC subject heading indexing and opac display issue (the 'dropping all subfields after the first one' issue). I didn't see any mention in the 3.0 Roadmap, and didn't want this important development to get lost in the shuffle. Anything to report? Thanks, Kim Scannell _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list Koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha

MARC setup advice
by Mike D 15 Aug '05

15 Aug '05

Hi I'm in a little over my head dealing with the MARC setup and I'd appreciate some advice. I've read several articles regarding MARC21 but since my background is in computers and not library sciences I'm not sure what to do. I've just installed Koha for an engineering firm (I'm working here for the summer) in Ottawa, Canada. We're hoping to use it mostly as a searching tool more than a circulation tool. Presently, we have an wide assortment of materials which can be generally categorized as books, journals, maps, manuals, conference materials, and reports both in print and electronic form. Most of the material has been categorized using LOC. Some items had LOC classifications that we did not find useful so they were given a different classification. My questions are: 1. How do I change the MARC setup to use LOC instead of Dewey? biblioitems.classification is linked to 942k but Dewey is 082 isn't it? 2. What is the best way to setup MARC given that the LOC classification is sometimes changed? I saw an example where a MARC field of 090 was used for a Local Call #. What happens to the ones we haven't changed? 3. What is biblio.notes associated with by default (MARC21) because I think I changed it by accident? It's presently linked to 520a. 4. We'd like to be able to list some keywords that we can search for. Is there a MARC field for this purpose already? or would I create a MARC field like 59X or 9XX?
