Call number splitting issues
by Joelle Hannert 05 May '19

05 May '19

Hello, Can anyone point me in the right direction for how to report a couple call number splitting issues for possible fix in a future release? We use LC classification, and the splitting problems I experience are mostly with children's literature call numbers that have two letters in a row as part of the cutter. For example: PZ 7.1 .P6213 St 2018 is split like this in Koha's pdf label maker: PZ 7.1 .P6213 S T2018 The other issue I encounter is with the more rare call numbers that incorporate a military regiment number. Here's an example: E 492.94 1st .H53 1982 is split like this in Koha's pdf label maker: E 492.94 1 .S T H53 1982 I've found some similar reports in Bugzilla, but they are linked to a case (10821) <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10821> that seems to have been fixed in 2014 (as far as I can tell - I'm pretty new so I'm not sure I'm reading the bug histories correctly). I'd appreciate any guidance on how to best add this to the ongoing discussion for call number split issues! Thanks!

Duplicating system preference
by Ed Veal 05 May '19

05 May '19

We are using a support company to host our Koha instance, however, our IT department has set up a VM for us to use as a test system. I would like to ask our support company to provide a dump of all our sys pref and then we need to import them into our new test instance. What is the best way to accomplish this? Ed -- *Ed Veal*

new item for ebook in Acquisitions
by Giuseppe Angilella 04 May '19

04 May '19

Hi, I usually link "items" for an ebook record to my (only) Kindle reader, also present as a record, using the 773 MARC field for the host item entry in the record for the ebook, and a corresponding 774 MARC field in the constituent unit entry in the record for the kindle. This automatically generates an "item" in the ebook record, which actually points so the (only available) Kindle reader. But now, if I want to enter a new ebook in the Acquisition module, this is actually displayed as a "new" and separate item in the ebook record (not pointing to the Kindle reader's record). How can I solve this inconsistency? (I wouldn't mind acting directing on the database via mysql commands, as this issue happens quite rarely.) Many thanks and best regards, Giuseppe.

Restricted Page -- need advice/help
by Andy Boze 04 May '19

04 May '19

According to the 18.11 manual page at < https://koha-community.org/manual/18.11/en/html/systempreferences.html#rest… >, a page can be configured so that it is accessible only to users accessing it from specific IP addresses/ranges. The information isn't entirely clear, but I take it to mean that the user need not be authenticated to view the page as long as their machine is at a designated IP address. It's also unclear whether authenticated users should be able to access the restricted page unless they are at a designated IP address. I'm taking it to mean that the restricted page should be accessible to any authenticated user or to unauthenticated users at a designated IP address In testing this feature, I can access the restricted page when I am authenticated. But I cannot access the restricted page if I am at a designated IP address -- I am prompted to log in, and only then can I access the page. I'm wondering whether I'm not entering the IP address correctly. The manual page isn't entirely clear on that from the examples it gives. I'm assuming that I can enter a complete IP address (four octets) or several IP addresses separated by commas. If I want to enter a range, it looks like I just need to enter the beginning two or three octets, and maybe end with a dot (.) followed by a caret (^) (or is the caret a typo and meant to be a quotation mark?). Anyway, I've tried entering a complete IP address and a range, but so far nothing has worked. Have I missed something, or have I run into a bug? The original feature request for this is at < https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=13485 > in case that's useful. Thanks for any assistance. -- Andy Boze, Associate Librarian University of Notre Dame 271H Hesburgh Library (574) 631-8708

New added items and biblio records not searchable on two-tier setup
by Admire Mutsikiwa 02 May '19

02 May '19

Hi All I am running an instance of Koha 18.11.03.000 on Debian 8.11 where both the application server and the Koha database where running on one server. My server was becoming overwhelmed so I decided to have a two-tier setup with the database running on another separate server by changing the <hostname>localhost</hostname in /etc/koha/sites/library/koha-conf.xml to the IP address of the database server and granting the relevant privileges. Everything seems to be going on well. However, newly added items and biblio records are not searchable on the catalogue pointing to a browse index-related issue. What should I do on a two-tier setup to ensure that newly added items are added to the browse index and are searchable? Any pointers are most welcome.

Why people' are using the term Koha as KOHA?

Why people' are using the term Koha as KOHA? It is a simple word, not any acronym. Today I have found it in the past event details of koha newsletter April 2019 ( https://koha-community.org/koha-community-newsletter-april-2019/ )
