Hello My question is about the possibility of direct linking and how to benefit from the qr code technology from Koha. Is there Koha the ability to generate it directly? Thank you

Password, hash, bcrypt

Something goes wrong, but... Let's go again. Hi people. I am getting envolved with Koha since last november. I am contributing in translation too, and digging BD, and scripts... Right now I have a new challenge: I need to know which method the system apply to encrypt borrowers' passwords. I know that uses Bcrypt 8, but the stored encrypted string does not match with typed string. Some clue??? Thanks in advance. -- Sent from: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-general-f3047918.html

sir, i write to know why is it that Koha does not bring an item for instance, an author, publisher which you have typed in before. other softwares do bring already typed item for you to just select once it has been saved in the databasethanks Ukpoughul Emmanuel

Using Koha on Android devices for revision
by Tomáš Wünsch 21 Feb '20

21 Feb '20

I am trying to fidn out how to process a complete audit of the whole library without moving all those items from shelves to the desk and back or buying laptops just for this purpose. We are obligated to do this every second or fifth year here in Czech Republic, and it is quite an operation - we have 10 "big" (20-80k) and 100 small (2-6k of volumes) local libraries. As of now, smoothest solution I see in Android tablets/phablets/phones + dedicated readers (we have USB versions, but I am thinking about buying some Bluetooth variations). Any experience or recommendation in this field? Some brands I should avoid? My fast take on this: - Android has no problem with an input using USB barcode scanners (via USB-C or MicroUSB to UBC-A reduction) - Instead of numbers I get !#@$#$&^%$^%# => probably just need to find proper codepage for our Honeywell Eclipse MS5145 LS USB and Android with Czech layout. - Without new api or some plugin in koha itself for using camera and implementing OCR of barcode from picture, using built-in hw is no go. - Anyone has some recommendations for a suitable product (light and durable BT barcode reader)?

Spine label printing
by TS Library 21 Feb '20

21 Feb '20

I have recently purchased a Dymo LabelWriter 450 Turbo to print spine labels individually rather than in batches. I have set SpineLabelAutoPrint to 'do' and set SpineLabelFormat to <span style="font-size:13px; line-height: 90%"><itemcallnumber></span> This was following advice I received from a list member. When I click on the link to print spine label next to an item the print dialogue box comes up and displays the Dymo label writer at the top but nothing is displayed in the print preview – just the little blue dots going round in a circle – and if I click on print nothing happens. If I change the printer name to Epson which is my main printer the label is displayed in the print preview and I can print it. Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?

Please send me relevant options to follow. An early reply is very much appreciated. thanks kumari

LDAP Authentication change required for some Active Directory users
by Coehoorn, Joel 20 Feb '20

20 Feb '20

*If your Koha site uses LDAP to authenticate via Microsoft Active Directory, and that connection is unencrypted over port 389, next month's Windows Updates due on March 10 will break your site.* See here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4520412/2020-ldap-channel-binding-… In summary, the update will automatically turn on "Channel Binding" for the Active Directory service. Put another way, it will bind the ldap service to only listen via the TLS channel. Standard (unencrypted) connection attempts over port 389 will be rejected. This will prevent users from being able to log in. If this sounds like your site, there are three options to avoid unexpected down time: 1. Decline this update (via InTune, SCCM, WSUS, or other patch management tool). Not ideal. 2. Turn channel binding off again after installing the update. Also not ideal. 3. Update your connection to use LDAP+S over port 636. We should probably all be doing this anyway. Unfortunately, option 3 involves obtaining and installing a TLS certificate, so it may be a bit complicated for some of us. *This won't impact me personally (I'm using SAML SSO rather than LDAP), but I want to make sure other Koha managers have a chance to hear about this. * Joel Coehoorn Director of Information Technology 402.363.5603 *jcoehoorn(a)york.edu <jcoehoorn(a)york.edu>* *Please contact helpdesk(a)york.edu <helpdesk(a)york.edu> for technical assistance.* The mission of York College is to transform lives through Christ-centered education and to equip students for lifelong service to God, family, and society

No physical items for this record
by Tadesse, Bruck 20 Feb '20

20 Feb '20

Hi All, I have just upgraded Koha from 16.05 to 18.11. To do the that, I did the following procedure: Installed koha 18.11 on ubuntu 16.04 fresh, imported the data from 16.05, did schema upgrade and rebuilt the index. When I search the catalogue, I do get results with list of available items in the location column. But, when I click on an individual item, the Holdings tab in the Bibliographic screen shows "No physical items for this record". However, the items show up when I click on the Edit item button and I can edit an item, make changes and I have no problem saving it. These changes are not reflected in the Holdings tab which remain empty. I wonder what could be causing this - "No physical items for this record"? and how can I rectify that. Many thanks, Bruck T.
