OPAC Search too slow in Koha 18.05.05
by Camilo Freire 08 Nov '18

08 Nov '18

Good afternoon. My name is Camilo Freire, from Montevideo, Uruguay. I have a catalogue with around 280.000 bibliographic records in Koha 18.05.05. When I do some searches whose hit's number is about 14.000 records the time of search climbs from an average of 2 seconds per search to 40 to 80 seconds around. I've a virtual machine with 6GB of RAM, with a virtual Xeon of 2GHz. Koha is making the OPAC search calling the function getRecords which is in the lib/C4/Search.pm file. As I've seen this function first makes a call to the ZOOM::search function and then makes an asynchronous loop for getting the records (don't do that in ZOOM::search?) and facets, calling the _ZOOM_event_function. The Zebra search in ZOOM::search is quite fast, and takes no more than 0.3 seconds to perform the search. It seems that the delay is in the asynchronous facets in the _ZOOM_event_loop function. Is not clear to me what exactly the _ZOOM_event_loop is doing, apart from retrieving the facets, which are not necessary for me. Can I resolve in some way this problem, getting rid of the _ZOOM_event_loop or installing other version? As a first step I've enabled plack, which is a great help in speeding up the application but not in this case. Thank you very much in advance.

Matric Number and Barcode not Showing on Library Card
by olufunmilayo favour 07 Nov '18

07 Nov '18

Hello All, I configured my university's koha library card and it works perfectly for the undergraduate students whose matriculation numbers are in this format AAA/12345678 and varchar was selected for the type at PHPMyAdmin. However, using the same card layout, for the postgraduate students whose matriculation numbers are in the format BBB/pg/17/0000, the matriculation numbers (card numbers) and the barcode do not come out when the cards are printed. Card numbers are supposed to be printed printed as barcode. Our Koha LMS is Ubuntu OS based. Can someone tell me what the problem is and suggest how to go round it please? I appreciate your kind assistance. Olufunmilayo FatiSystems LibrarianFederal University of Agriculture Abeokuta Nigeria

Re: [Koha] add items form page doesn't appear
by Katrin Fischer 06 Nov '18

06 Nov '18

Hi, please keep the discussion on the list so others can follow it and help too :) Do you have all the other fields in the frameworks show up, but not 952? If you had missed checking the mandatory, you'd not be able to catalog at all, so that's a bit strange. Were the frameworks changed after the initial installation? Backup and restore won't work here, as the framework information is stored in the database. So you would end up with exactly the same configuration as you have now. Configuring the item field manually is possible, but a little tricky, as there are a lot of settings and mappings you have to get right for it to work flawlessly. What might work is exporting a default framework from a working installation and importing it into yours via the GUI (Administration > Bibliographic MARC frameworks > Import/Export). But be aware that it would also undo all other changes made to the framework. Katrin On 03.11.18 08:38, Upendra Tamang wrote: > Hello Sir, > I did a fresh Koha installation.

Tabs display in catalogue editing mode
by Elaine Bradtke 05 Nov '18

05 Nov '18

We just updated to 18.05.05. Now the tabs are displaying strangely - covering the buttons (and less often, the buttons hide the tab numbers). But it's only a problem with some of the tabs: 1-4 and 8-9. The buttons and tabs still seem to function, but they don't display correctly. It also only seems to happen in Chrome (it works fine in Firefox). I've cleared the browser history in Chrome and restarted it, but it persists. Any thoughts? screenshot: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1phJw3ybaRIKiYjnDyv6vXV73Ondg5nAk Elaine Bradtke VWML English Folk Dance and Song Society | http://www.efdss.org Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent's Park Road, London NW1 7AY Tel +44 (0) 20 7485 2206 (This number is for the English Folk Dance and Song Society in London, England.
