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.

I suspect the problem is that the card numbers include lower case letters ("pg"). If your card layout uses Code 39 for the barcode, that won't work because Code 39 does not allow lower case letters. See this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_39 I tried this on my own system, and verified this behavior. However, when I changed the card layout to use Code 39 + Modulo43 as the barcode format, which does support lower case letters, Koha gave this error when I tried to export a library card batch: WARNING: Error while creating PDF file. Batch: 1 Layout: 1 Template: 1 Please have your system administrator check the error log for details. I examined plack-error.log but didn't see anything that I could readily understand as related to the problem. ------------------------------ Subject: Digest Footer _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list Koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz https://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha ------------------------------ End of Koha Digest, Vol 157, Issue 7 ************************************

tracklinks and special characters
by Carolina Andreu 14 Nov '18

14 Nov '18

Hi everyone, I hope someone can give some help or advice, any information will be appreciated. We've found that when syspref TrackClicks is enabled, wether track or anonymous, we're having some issues with urls that contain special characters, giving a 404 error page as a result. I think it has to do with the tracklinks.pl and the way it converts special characters, but I couldn't find any reported bug about this, is there a ticket? Anyone could point to a solution or a clue?

Patron Card Creator and Card Printers
by Myka Kennedy Stephens 13 Nov '18

13 Nov '18

Hi folks, We're evaluating whether the new Patron Card Creator in 18.05 will suit our needs for updating our library cards. Our school also has a need for a new way of printing student IDs, so it might be possible to design the cards in Koha to serve both purposes. Up to this point, our IT director has used an old Datacard SP35 printer and its proprietary software to create student IDs. This printer stopped working recently and it looks like the company no longer supports it. How are libraries printing cards generated by Koha's Patron Card Creator? Do you use a card printer? If so, which one works best with Koha? Any other advice or suggestions from libraries using the Patron Card Creator is greatly appreciated! Many thanks, Myka -- Deaconess Myka Kennedy Stephens, MDiv, MSLIS Seminary Librarian and Assistant Professor of Theological Bibliography Lancaster Theological Seminary 555 West James Street Lancaster, PA 17603 717-290-8704 mkstephens(a)lancasterseminary.edu https://library.lancasterseminary.edu

Alert Regarding: Free KOHA OPAC Mobile App
by vinod mishra 13 Nov '18

13 Nov '18

Dear All, The message below has been floated for those who are using Koha and very enthusiastic professionals who are willing to showcase as much as possible with minimum efforts. The Mobile App is not meant for your/any library by default and to get the app your library must be on some public domain name and lot of other information you need to provide through the app than the concerns will send you the app. My view is please avoid such things in the age where people are much concern about data security. My questions from the developers and you all are: 1. What if the domain name of any Koha/OPAC will change? 2. What if the database schema of koha updated? 3. What is the update policy of the said App? 4. Where is the source code to modify/improve the app by the community like Koha? 5. To whom should we contact if face any problem in the app? 6. How to use the app if many are managing the koha on Intranet only? 7. How much space etc. it consumes on the mobile and which version of android is supported. 8. Which version of Koha does it support? Sorry for my little understanding of the below Koha App but please clarify the points above. With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.

Candidate for 18.05 Maintainer
by Nick Clemens 13 Nov '18

13 Nov '18

Hello all! Last week during the Koha developers meeting we voted on roles for the 19.05 release. I will be continuing as the Release Manager, and we have many hands helping along the way ( https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Roles_for_19.05) There is one role left unfilled: 18.05 Release Maintainer (old stable) The release maintainers are responsible for watching the bugs queue from the upcoming release and backporting bugs that affect the version they watch, helping to make sure version in use are kept as stable as possible. It is a good way to learn more about different areas of Koha, to practice your rebasing skills, and to get more involved in the community. There will be many people in the community around to help you out, and we are always looking for new faces to take on these roles. If you are interested please add your name to the wiki page above and we will be voting tomorrow to accept candidates if we have one in place. If you have any questions you can ask the list or message me here or in IRC. Thanks! -Nick -- Nick Clemens Sonic Screwdriver (Development Support) ByWater Solutions IRC: kidclamp
