z39.50 search does not return results
by Hauke Altmann 22 Feb '19

22 Feb '19

Hey there, I have another issue after moving Koha to a new server: The Z39.50/SRU search is no longer returning results (/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/z3950_search.pl). Settings are the same as on the old system, where everything works fine. There are no indications of errors in the logs. Can anyone give me an idea, where to look for a solution of the problem? Is there an option to make Koha more talkative to get an idea what causes this problem? Thanks for any help, Hauke

Need a little help with an SQL query
by Chris Brown 21 Feb '19

21 Feb '19

Gentle Reader, We want to get a list of all patrons for who we do *not *have email addresses but who are "active" (for example, have checked a book out in the last 6 months) I know how to get a list of patrons with no email address but my knowledge of SQL and the database schema aren't good enough to write the "AND have checked a book out in the last 6 months" part of the query. Is there a kind soul out there who could help? We are using Koha 17.11 Thanks and Best Regards, Chris Brown

Koha 18.05 Patron search broken for non-superlibrarian users
by Mai 21 Feb '19

21 Feb '19

Dear all, We're experiencing problems with patron search on Koha 18.05 When a non-superlibrarian staff member looks up a patron, the following error occurs: > Can't call method "branchcode" on an undefined value at > /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/members/member.pl line 56, <DATA> line > 751. If the superlibrarian looks up the same user, It'll retrieve it correctly. Additionaly, If the non-superlibrarian staff member looks up the same patron from either the Circulation module or the "Check out" tab at Koha's Home, it's information is also retrieved correctly. Switching the non-superlibrarian staff member to superlibrarian fixes the issue but for obvious reasons, it's not ideal. This happens regardless of the patron we look up. Thanks in advance, -- Maite Arakaki

2 Different Issues: Patron Card Number / Library of Congress Call Numbers
by Samuel Crawford 21 Feb '19

21 Feb '19

Hi, All! I deeply apologize for the length of this message... Here at Northern Marianas College (NMC), we are still currently using *Koha version 3.14.11.000* (*definitely* time for an upgrade, I know; we are aiming to do so within the next few months). Meanwhile, I now have two (2) separate Koha issues with which I need your advice / assistance. I'll try to describe each one as succinctly as possible; here we go: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Patron Card Number: In the past, when creating a new patron profile for non-students (i.e., Faculty, Staff, and/or Public Community Members), the "Card Number" field in the patron record has always been auto-generated (with a lengthy number) for us. In our case, we get something like "2132132132132198" -- easy enough. Yesterday, however, that card number (2132132132132198), or possibly the one generated after it -- 2132132132132199 -- seems to have been the very last number (i.e., non-student profile) that we are able to produce, at the moment. After successfully creating the "2132132132132198" for this person (one of our brand-new Library staff members), we tried creating another profile for our *other* brand-new Library staff member; his Card Number was auto-generated as 21321321321321*99,* but...it never took. No matter how many times we tried to create his new profile with this auto-generated number, we simply kept getting the same resulting message after clicking "Save": "This patron does not exist." Finally, I tried manually editing the number by one digit, changing the second digit ("1") to "2" (thus, making the Card Number 2*2*32132132132199); this WORKED. Still, we faced the exact same issue today when trying to create a profile for a new public community member / patron, and even replacing digits doesn't seem to help, at this point. I am sure this has *something* to do with the *16-digit character limit*, and I've been doing some reading in the message boards re: card number field length here <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=13178>, but I'm not sure whether or not I've found "the answer" to provide to our IT Department (who are graciously working to help me solve this problem, on the back-end). Koha was established and installed as our ILS by my predecessors (who are no longer here), so I don't know where this semi-obnoxious pattern of "213213213213..." came from, but I assume it was an arbitrary decision they made during set-up. I'd like to "re-set" this somehow (if possible), but I'm willing to do just about anything to resolve the issue, according to your recommendations. Can you help? 2. Library of Congress Call Numbers: Stranger still in our current "Koha crisis" is the fact that the Library of Congress Call Numbers (LCCN) are not currently visible in our OPAC (the front end) *or* the back end of our ILS. In both our OPAC and our administrative back end, Call Numbers are not present (as they once were) in the "Normal view" of our catalog records; they *are* still there in the "MARC view" and "ISBD view," but our users don't know to look there. This is a crucial issue that we need to resolve as soon as possible... I should mention that this issue could *potentially* be a result of the changes to our campus infrastructure: In late October 2018, Super Typhoon Yutu -- a category 5(+) storm -- struck and devastated the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). Our College suffered extensive damage, campus-wide, and the technical / technological infrastructure of our institution has largely had to be rebuilt completely, piece by piece. With that said, many re-connections, re-configurations, and other changes (re-wirings, "switch-arounds," "switch-backs," etc.) have occurred under IT in the process of recovery. Our Library's server, which powers Koha, just came back up and "on" a few weeks ago, and there have been myriad changes / adjustments to it as well as to the Library's network(s), which may be triggering this obscurity of data in Koha (i.e., item location / Library of Congress Call Numbers, in this case). Thoughts? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any advice, suggestions, and/or specific resources you can offer would be tremendously appreciated. I will be sharing ALL relevant information with our IT Department... Thanks, Koha Fam!
