Issue order
by Carlos Lopez 11 Nov '19

11 Nov '19

Hi folks When we return items on Koha we get the last-scanned item appearing at the top of the list. However, when we issue items they appear in a different order (are they sorted alphabetically?). Is there a way to set the issue display ("Today's issues") to show items issued in reverse issue order (latest scanned first)? With kind regards from the Dalton McCaughey Library Team Carlos Lopez Dalton McCaughey Library | 29 College Crescent, Parkville, VICTORIA 3052 Ph: 03 9340 8888 ext.1 | library(a)dml.vic.edu.au | library.dmlibrary.org.au

Re: [Koha] R: Problem with browser
by Mark Alexander 10 Nov '19

10 Nov '19

[I'm copying the mailing list in case the real experts have better advice.] Excerpts from Davide Spanu's message of 2019-11-10 11:52:27 +0100: > I have seen that to solve the problem I have to modify a file, > eliminating the lines from 6 to 10 and add, in their place, the line > "var popup = '[% popup | html%]';" Actually, the patch describes the reverse of that. It deletes this line: var popup = '[% popup | html %]'; and replaces it with these lines: [% IF popup %] var popup = true; [% ELSE %] var popup = false; [% END %] > Can you tell me the name and path of the file to be modified on the server? The file to be patched is here on 19.05: /usr/share/koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/includes/str/cataloging_additem.inc I discovered this using the locate command: locate cataloging_additem.inc Note that the locate command depends on a file location database being updated regularly. On my Debian installation, this wasn't being done as a cron job, so I updated the database manually using this: updatedb One way to patch the file without using an editor is to download the patch to the directory in question (/usr/share/koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/includes/str), give it a name like additem.patch, and apply it using this command: patch <additem.patch You will probably need to restart plack after doing this: koha-plack --restart INSTANCE where INSTANCE is the instance name of your library.

Problem with browser
by Davide Spanu 10 Nov '19

10 Nov '19

Good morning, I have a problem with my koha server. I realized that after importing a record (so before entering the copy data) the window of some browsers closes automatically (Chrome and Firefox). Before this problem did not occur (and I did not change any settings in either Koha or the server). Can you tell me what it can depend on? Thank you so much. Davide

How to enable zebra as daemon or place it in cron
by Alvaro Cornejo 09 Nov '19

09 Nov '19

Hi We are having some issues with zebra indexation. Modifications to registries are not reflected on queries after saving them. ps -ef shows zebra server is running, but not zebra update.script koha-common in cron.dayly has a commented line about un-commenting this line if not wishing the zebra update daemon. What is the best choice to have zebra updating indexing often? daemon or through a cron? How can we enable/disable each option?

AMH sorters Backdating feature and Koha fines.
by Raymund Delahunty 08 Nov '19

08 Nov '19

We recently installed three AMH sorters sourced from Bibliotheca and had a puzzling problem where almost 3,000 items appear to have been returned at 6am on 28th August. We now believe this is down to the Backdating feature on one of the sorters being turned on, and accidently left on for weeks. When the items were actually returned, Koha set the old_issues.returndate field to the 28th of August, but the old_issues.timestamp was stamped with the moment the item is actually returned. This has caused havoc with the fines calculation, where it appears the full fine was calculated right up to the actual return date and then a *credit* is applied to deal with Koha thinking the item was retuned on the 28th August. We are on 18.11 and with the new way Koha now handles debits and credits, fixing the problem on hundreds of user accounts would be tricky (even if we had the capacity to start doing it!). If you use the new AMH sorters and see lots of lines in old_issues.returndate field having a 6am time stamp (5am now that the clocks have changed here in the UK) that should ring alarm bells. I did suggest to Bibliotheca that it would be great if there was an on-screen warning when the Backdating feature was in force, but this enhancement request wasn't rated highly. So it is a staff training matter I guess. Ray Delahunty This email and any attachments are intended solely for the addressee and may contain confidential information.
