limits on canned OPAC searches
by Carlos Lopez 10 Jun '21

10 Jun '21

Hi everyone We have a little drop-down option on our OPAC that we call "New Titles" - it basically brings up a reverse-chronological listing of books or ebooks on the catalogue: <form name="searchform" method="get" action="/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl"> <input name="idx" value="kw" type="hidden"> <input name="sort_by" value="acqdate_dsc" type="hidden"> <input name="do" value="OK" type="hidden"> <select name="limit" onchange="this.form.submit()"> <option>-- Display new titles to the collection --</option> <option value="mc-itype:BOOK">New books</option> <option value="mc-itype:EBK">New ebook</option> </select> </form> Is there a way we could improve this by limiting results to a time range (preferably "last 6 months" or something like that)? And excluding material that is "Ordered"?

The problem is to turn the 245 into 880, turn the 246 into 245 fields and then pair the resulting 880 and the new 245 into something like =880 10$6245-45/(N$aВеликая отецественная война 1941-1945 /$cВ.

The indicators are easy to fix after the 245 and 880 fields are reconstructed. The 245 $c subfield can be copied from the 880 $c subfield. I'm just trying to automate the process as much as possible and thereby avoid the painstaking manual corrections if they can be avoided. This is an interim step. Eventually the catalog will have to be recataloged from scratch, I think. Many thanks, all! -- 気を付けて。 /ki wo tukete/ = Take care. -- Charles.

Opac display
by c.dumontet＠btinternet.com 09 Jun '21

09 Jun '21

I'm new to Koha and I would be grateful for some help. The name in the "Label for opac" in the MARC framework does not correspond to the actual label on the opac. For example: In the Admin module one of our frameworks has the following labels for 246: "Label for Lib" = Variant title ; "Label for Opac" = Variant title. But in the Opac display the label in fact reads: "Other title". In which part of the Admin module do I tweak with these labels? Why the discrepancy? Is there any video online where this topic is covered? (I could not find any). Many thanks for your help. Carlo

Hi Charles, I'm not 100% sure what you're asking here. Are you asking to find all records where there is a 245 title that isn't Romanized? You could try something like this: SELECT * FROM biblio WHERE title <> CONVERT(title USING latin1); I've tried that out on one of my multilingual libraries and it had some decent results. However, it's worth noting that it isn't a perfect solution. There are certain characters (I've noticed a particular hyphen) that won't have a latin1 equivalent, but they'd still be "Roman" (like hyphen which is made of the hexadecimal bytes E2 80 90, but is not to be confused with hyphen-minus which is ASCII and represented by the byte 2D). Other examples are emoji and other symbols like ↔️. You could then tweak the query or do a visual scan through to filter out any results that are irrelevant. Anyway, I hope that helps you advance your work.

"Return to the last advanced search" exclude keywords if more than 3
by Claes Eriksson 04 Jun '21

04 Jun '21

Hi! After performing an advanced search with more than 3 keywords<https://kohaopac.alingsas.se/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?advsearch=1&idx=kw…> I use the option "Return to the last advanced search" on the result page. However, now there are only 3 keywords. I can perform the search again but then use the browsers "go back one page" and in my example all the 5 keywords are there. I do not know which version they use. In our own 20.11 OPAC i repeat the example searching with 4 keywords<https://bibliotek.vti.se/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?advsearch=1&idx=kw&q=p…>. The option "Return to the last advanced search" gives the same result: only 3 keywords. However, using the "go back one page" also results in the disappointing only 3 keywords left. Same result for FF and Chrome (latest versions). Is this a bug or a feature?
