Re: A question about display formats in Koha

Wednesday, November 17, 2004 22:50 CST Dear Ms. Ferreyra, My apologies for not responding more swiftly. I regret, too, that I don't have a proper answer to your question. An ISBD view -- or what some will think of as a card catalogue view -- would indeed be desirable. I don't know why you are getting an ERROR message in response to selecting that option. To be honest, I don't remember anyone ever mentioning this in the 2+ years I've been a loyal reader of the listserv. Can someone else please advise here? Are there others out there who use/want to use an ISBD (traditional) display mode? Are they/you receiving the same ERROR message? For the benefit of the programmers, developers and any others interested/involved, the format Ms. Ferreyra is referring to is summarised in the jpeg I have attached, drawn from the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, Second edition, 1998 revision (AACR2R 1998). Concentrate on the second level of description as this gives the best sense of the structure. If this is more than just a glitch that Laura is experiencing, I could map out the MARC fields involved if that is of help to fixing the problem. Again, my apologies for not having a ready (quick) answer, but hopefully someone more knowledgeable will respond shortly. Best wishes with your CDS/ISIS to Koha work. Sincerely, Steven F.

bugs in 2.2.0RC1
by Paul POULAIN 19 Nov '04

19 Nov '04

Hi, 3 bugs have been found (and fixed) in Koha 2.2.0RC1 : * import in reservoir : bug that makes title & isbn being empty instead of being correctly found. * OPAC : it was possible to reserve books that were "notforloan" * Circulation : no warning when a reserve was made on a book that you try to issue to someone else. I'll release a 2.2.0RC1b today or next day (with some french translation improvements probably) -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

circulation on Koha 2.2.0 and issuingrules
by Paul POULAIN 18 Nov '04

18 Nov '04

Hi, Seems there's something that must be explained on Koha 2.2.0... The issuingrules MUST be set again, even if you upgraded from Koha 2.0. It's due to the new structure of issuingrules. So, you must : * set issuingrules for a given borrowertype / branch / itemtype * ALSO set issuingrules for * (all of them) Otherwise, you're saying : - a "student" can issue up to 5 "book" in "main branch" - "anybody (*)" can issue up to 0 "book" in "main branch" - a "student" can issue up to 0 "any item (*)" in "main branch" If you miss this, you will always have to confirm each issuing, which is quite poor... PS : pour les lecteurs francophones, désolé, je fais au plus rapide... -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

using the cuecat with bought barcodes?
by jared jennings 18 Nov '04

18 Nov '04

hi, i'm the sort of IT go-to person for a small college library for which i've set up Koha. i added some javascript to the templates so you can scan barcodes using the cuecat, without changing any of the perl (not for barcodes, anyway). (i've been meaning to put up a patch you can apply somewhere, but haven't. anyone want it?) now my librarian is about to purchase professionally made barcodes, and wants to know they'll work before she spends hundreds of US$ on them. i'm only really worried that we'll find they are printed too small and the cuecats won't read them, and i haven't been able to find any sufficiently technical specs. so is anyone using the cuecat with professional (e.g., 1" x 2", er, 2.5cm x 5cm) barcode stickers? has anyone tried and failed?

Re: [Koha] Acquisitions search
by Owen Leonard 18 Nov '04

18 Nov '04

> Maybe I am missing something important here, too. I'm just not being clear enough. Of course there should be separate pages for Acquisitions search and Catalog search, but the Acquistions search shouldn't be limited to only title and ISBN. All the options of the regular search should also be available for searching in the Acquisitions module. -- Owen

daemon failing to insert into marc_breeding
by Harry Jackson 17 Nov '04

17 Nov '04

I am assessing Koha 2.0.1RC1 for use here and I am in need of some pointers. First thing I need to get working is the import facility. I have got as far as getting the daemon working and downloading a marc record and updading the z3950results table. Having searched throught the daemon source I was under the impression that the ImportBreeding method would then insert the record into the marc_breeding table but this does not appear to be happening. Any pointers on where abouts in the source to look would be helpful. The output from the daemon is as follows (looks fine to my untrained eye) 1 starting loop 2 starting loop 3 starting loop 4 29114/37 : Processing isbn=0470846747 at LibraryOfCongress z3950.loc.gov:7090 Voyager MARC21 (1 forks) 5 29114/37 : 2 >> 6 29114/37 : creating and 29114/37 : working on results entry 73 7 29114/37 : connected to LibraryOfCongress 8 29114/37 : LibraryOfCongress : 1 records found, retrieving them (max 80) 9 29115/37 : Processing isbn=0470846747 at ION.SLV.VIC.GOV.AU 192.190.180.3:7090 voyager MARC21 (2 forks) 10 29115/37 : 2 >> 11 29115/37 : creating and 29115/37 : working on results entry 74 12 29115/37 : connected to ION.SLV.VIC.GOV.AU 13 29115/37 : ION.SLV.VIC.GOV.AU : no records found 14 29115/37 : 192.190.180.3:7090 search done. And to answer the question at: 185 # and connect to z3950 server 186 #FIXME: why do we need $dbi ? can't we use $dbh ? in the daemon source. The reason you are unable to use the handle created before the fork is because you cannot share database connections across process's. Cheers, Harry
