Making Koha temporarily unavailable?
by Chris Brown 12 Nov '18

12 Nov '18

Gentle Reader, Is there a way to make Koha temporarily unavailable so that I can do maintenance and be sure that no-one will be logged in? Is that what the koha-disable and koha-enable commands do? Thanks! Chris Brown

Good morning I wish to ask you If anybody knows if is it possible to 'uncancel' a canceled order? I know we can restore from mysql, but my question is if koha has the chance of doing it. I think it is not possible, but perhaps I am missing somehing. thank you in advance -- *Hugo Agud - Orex Digital * *www.orex.es <http://www.orex.es>* <http://www.orex.es/> [image: www.orex.es/koha] <http://www.orex.es/koha> [image: www.orex.es/vufind] <http://www.orex.es/vufind> Director Avda Josep Tarradelles, 134 (Centro de Negocios Infanta) 08029 - Barcelona - Tel: 933 856 138 hagud(a)orex.es · http://www.orex.es/ No imprima este mensaje a no ser que sea necesario.

Problems with slow search in OPAC solved, remains one question
by Camilo Freire 09 Nov '18

09 Nov '18

Following the suggestions by Jonathan Druart, Mark Tompsett and Barton Chittenden the problem is solved by disabling the zebra_facets option in the koha-conf.xml file. The next question is about what Barton Chittenden says: when some words like articles or prepositons and included in the query string, in one hand the search is slower and on the other hand the amount of "noise"* in the response is great. In fact the most problematics searches where those in which the spanish word "de" (of) appeared. What could be the solution for this problema? Disable the Fuzzy and Stemming search? I read that there is no stopwords list in Koha today. Could I write a function for "cleaning" the query string before the seach is made? Thanks in advance. Saludos Camilo *I dont know if its the suitable english word...

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
