items.fine is zero although fines are calculated
by zefanja 02 Sep '19

02 Sep '19

Hello, I have a strange problem: Fines are calculated and shown in the fines tab of a user, but in our overdue notice (email) fines are 0.00. We use <<items.fine>> in our template and it worked till our upgrade to 19.05. Is items.fine deprecated or did I miss something? Our Koha version: 19.05.02.000 Best Regards, Stephan

Problem with showing next result in Staff search
by Claes Eriksson 02 Sep '19

02 Sep '19

Hello, After an advanced search in Staff client which retrieve more than 100 results or at least 3 pages of results (we show 50 on every page), I go to result 100 on page 2 and show details for that record. When I then click on the link "Next" (result) I expect to see record 101 on page 3. Instead I get number 51 on page 2. (It seems that the browser is redirected to result page 1 - during a fraction of a second I see result page 1.) Following this I can click "Return to results" and will be sent to page 2. I cannot find anything in Bugzilla about this and I will file a new bug if I am correct. We are on Koha version: 18.11.08.000 Best regards Claes ------------------------------------ Claes Eriksson Systems Librarian Department of Communication, Marketing and Library (KOMBI) Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI) VTI, SE-581 95 Linkoeping, Sweden Tel: +46-13-20 40 00 Direct: +46-13-20 41 99 E-mail: claes.eriksson(a)vti.se<mailto:claes.eriksson@vti.se>

Bulk search/delete by ISBNs?
by King, Fred 30 Aug '19

30 Aug '19

Esteemed Colleagues, My library has a collection of about 5000 online books that are in Koha with bib records and no items. The publisher periodically archives titles so they're no longer available, and I have a list of them that I'd like to remove from Koha. The problem is that my list consists of ISBNs and that there are over 450 of them. I could search and delete one-by-one, but that's an awful lot of searching and deleting. Is there an easier way? We're on Koha 17.05* and Ubuntu 16.04. *I know, I know, but I'm hoping to get a new server before I upgrade.

Issue enabling Google OpenID authentication
by Guillermo Castellano 29 Aug '19

29 Aug '19

Hi there, We are trying unsuccessfully to connect an instance of Koha 17.11.18.000 to Google OpenID following the instructions provided here: https://koha-community.org/manual/17.11/html/02_administration.html?highlig…. This is the error that we get: 400. That’s an error. Error: invalid_request Invalid parameter value for redirect_uri: Missing scheme: /cgi-bin/koha/svc/auth/googleopenidconnect Learn more Request Details response_type=code redirect_uri=/cgi-bin/koha/svc/auth/googleopenidconnect client_id=151271246332-2rutdao24k2as059d4ht7gmo0utln43l.apps.googleusercont… scope=openid email profile state=auth_660a4a0ed00714e959894abe360a3532 That’s all we know. We have checked that we have a client ID and a client secret; and that the authorized JavaScript origins, as well as the authorized redirect URLs, match the URL of the OPACBaseURL and http://YOUROPAC/cgi-bin/koha/svc/auth/googleopenidconnect <http://YOUROPAC/cgi-bin/koha/svc/auth/googleopenidconnect>. We have also checked that the values of GoogleOAuth2ClientID and GoogleOAuth2ClientSecret in Koha match the values of the Google client ID and the client secret. Could anyone please provide us some guidance on this? Many thanks in advance, Guillermo Castellano

Invalid username/password with web installer - original installation
by Matthew Sampson 29 Aug '19

29 Aug '19

Hi all, I'm planning to use Koha 19.05 to set up a library management system for a small library collection, as an independent project to make searching for resources easier for the small group of users. On a computer running Ubuntu I've followed the basic instructions to download Koha and the supporting software such as Apache2 and Perl. All this seems to have gone well. When I get to the Koha 19.05 web installer on Firefox I'm not getting anywhere with the username and password. I've tried *koha_kohadev* and *password* based on the Koha Manual 19.05 documentation, plus *koha_<libraryname> *and the password retrieved through the terminal command *sudo xmlstarlet sel -t -v 'yazgfs/config/pass' /etc/koha/sites/library/koha-conf.xml;echo*, as according to Open School Solutions' installation guide. Whatever I do I seem to come up with this message above the web installer: *Error: Invalid username or password* In my research I've learned that Koha 19.05 doesn't permit logging in with the database user and creating a superlibrarian patron is recommended. I've attempted to follow the steps at https://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2018-May/050688.html but am getting a series of DBI connect failures in the terminal. I don't have library codes or category codes set up (haven't cracked the web installer yet) so maybe this has something to do with it? >From the kohageek blog ( http://kohageek.blogspot.com/2018/07/create-super-librarian-by-command-line…) I get a different response after loading the environmental variables and attempting to create the superlibrarian: *Can't locate Koha/Script.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Koha::Script module)* and then an explanation of what @INC contains. Any ideas? Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers, Matthew Sampson
