Hello, I have installed Koha on and did entry of near about 1K books. Also generate barcode for tthese books. Books barcode starts from number 1. When I took print and read the barcode from barcode reader, I found that if barcode is less than 4 characters, barcode reader generate no results. It is working fine if the barcode is greater than 1000. Please let me know how can I fix the issue? re-updating of 1000 is lot of manually work? -- Thanks, Laxmilal Menaria | +91 982 955 3793 | http://laxmilalmenaria.com/

Possible to customize date format in notices/slips?
by Arturo Longoria 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

Our library recently enabled the MEMBERSHIP_EXPIRY notice to alert patrons of expiring accounts. Currently, these notices display the expiration date along with a time (“Your account will expire on 12/06/2018 12:00 AM”), but is there a way to just display the date without the time? I read through the information on the wiki at https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Customising_Notices_and_Slips as well as the manual, but I did not find any indication that the date format can be customized. I thought I’d check in with the list, though, to make sure I’m not missing anything. Thanks for any input you may have!

Handling for items lost in transit
by Renvoize, Martin 19 Nov '18

19 Nov '18

Hi all, I'm seeking some thoughts regarding 'Bug 21732 - If an item is marked as lost, any outstanding transfers should be cancelled <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21732>'. Currently, there is no thought given to transfers when an item is marked as lost, an as such you may have lost items in the transfers queue. This bug aims to solve this by triggering a cancellation of the transfer at the point an item is marked as lost. We have a few questions: 1) Should this be treated as an enhancement or a bug (If it's an enhancement then we would enable/disable it's functionality based upon a system preference. If it's a bug (as I advocate), then it would be always enabled and no system preference would be added) 2) If the items is 'in transit' where should the items holding library be set to when it is marked as lost (the from or to library). 3) If we consider this a bug, should we add handling for cleaning up the transfers table at upgrade time for any lost items.

Use and possible removal of Keyword to MARC mapping config
by Ere Maijala 19 Nov '18

19 Nov '18

Hi All, So this became a bit long-winded but please bear with me... I'm working on bug 11529 with the intention to add some of the most often required fields to the biblio table for quick retrieval. These are the current candidates: subtitle, medium, part number and part name. The reason for adding these is that they're often needed for proper identification of a work e.g. in the holds queue. The contents would be determined by the default framework like it's done in all the other fields too. In current Koha versions only subtitle is available [1], but it is always retrieved from the MARC record, which slow especially if it's something like borrowers checkouts list that can have hundreds of elements. The retrieval of subtitle from the MARC record is currently based on the "Keyword to MARC mapping" configuration in Koha. This has two differences compared to the proposed method of storing the fields in the biblio table according to the framework: 1. Since the default framework is now authoritative, all record follow it regardless of their selected framework. 2. Changes to the field mappings in the framework require a batch job to be executed on the server so that the changes are reflected in the UI. What I've done so far builds on the idea that we could get rid of "Keyword to MARC mapping" (fieldmapping table) and rely solely on the framework and stored fields like is done for all the other fields (title, author, unititle, notes, series etc.). This idea, though, is based on the assumption that a single set of rules is enough and that the rules don't change often. It would certainly be possible to support both ways of retrieving the subtitle, but it would make the code much more cumbersome. That's why I'd rather standardise on one way to do it. So, any objections? :) Regards, Ere [1] There have been 'numbers' and 'parts' also for the holds queue, but they haven't been exposed in the UI. -- Ere Maijala Kansalliskirjasto / The National Library of Finland

Customized XSLT stylesheets for more than one language
by Michael Kuhn 16 Nov '18

16 Nov '18

Hi Our library has two Koha instances. For one of them we need to customize the XSLT stylesheets used for the detail page - for this instance we need to have our own detail page in English (en) and our own detail page in German (de-DE). According to https://koha-community.org/manual/18.05/en/html/02_administration.html#opac… I tried to do the following under Koha 18.05 in my own demo installation: * I created the files "/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/MARC21slim2OPACDetail-CUSTOM.xsl" and "/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/de-DE/MARC21slim2OPACDetail-CUSTOM.xsl" using the original stylesheets but just making some slight changes for a start (for example writing "XXXEdition: " instead of "Edition: " which works without problems when changing the standard file) ...I also tried using other paths but to no avail... * In Koha system preference "OPACXSLTDetailsDisplay" I entered "/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/{langcode}/MARC21slim2OPACDetail-CUSTOM.xsl" * I restarted Koha using "service koha-common restart" * I also restarted the Apache HTTP Server using "service apache2 restart" However, when searching the OPAC in the normal view the actual details won't show up at all anymore, just the tags, the stars and the holdings table of the respective record; MARC view and ISBD view show the data is there. There seems to be something wrong when using paths, even when not using {langcode}... And it also doesn't work when using an external URL like http://adminkuhn.ch/download/MARC21slim2OPACDetail.xsl Has anyone done this before, how can this actually be achieved? What am I missing?
