Do not set notices when library is closed
by zefanja 06 Oct '18

06 Oct '18

Hello, is there an option to tell koha not to send notices when the library is closed? Example: Our library is closed on Saturdays and Sundays (and public and school holidays). We send overdue notices one day after the due date. So, if we have a book, that is due on a Friday, the overdue notice will be send out on Saturday, but no fines are calculated, because Saturday is a closing day and we don't calculate fines on days when the library is closed. Is there a way to send out all notices just on opening days (Mon-Fri)? If a book is due on Friday, the overdue notice should be send out the following Monday. If a book is due on a Monday and we send pre-due notices 3 days before, the notice should be send on a Wednesday, not Friday. Regards, Stephan

Help testing marc staging performance issues
by Barton Chittenden 06 Oct '18

06 Oct '18

Hi, All! At ByWater, we've had a few reports of "Home › Tools › Stage MARC records for import" timing out on large import batches, with the message "there was an error." When this happens, there are typically two batches under Home › Tools › Manage staged MARC records The first batch will show a number of records, and the second batch will show 0 records. I believe this typically happens under plack. I'm having a *very* difficult time re-creating the error, so I don't have any plack error logs, I don't have any good numbers on how many records cause the problem. One of our libraries told me that the problem seems to be worse when using matching rules. If you've seen issues like this, I would love to know 1) What version of Koha you're using 2) How many records you were importing 3) If you were doing any sort of record matching 4) Any other relevant details 5) If you have access to the server error logs, I'd like to know what messages you see there. I'd like to file a bug, but without being able to replicate the problem, I can't get any traction there. Thanks, --Barton

SQL help: find biblios with duplicate subject headings
by Sarah B. Cornell 05 Oct '18

05 Oct '18

Hello, I’m trying to figure out how to find biblios with duplicate subject headings. For example, this record that has multiple instances of “‡aAfrican Americans‡xSuffrage” and other headings. This is one case where Koha’s ignorance of the delimiters helps me out! 650 _ 0 ‡aAfrican Americans‡xSuffrage. 650 _ 0 ‡aMinorities‡xSuffrage‡zUnited States. 650 _ 0 ‡aSuffrage‡zUnited States. 650 _ 0 ‡aRace discrimination‡xPolitical aspects‡zUnited States. 650 _ 1 ‡aAfrican Americans‡xSuffrage. 650 _ 1 ‡aSuffrage‡zUnited States. 650 _ 4 ‡aAfrican Americans‡xSuffrage‡vPopular works. 650 _ 4 ‡aMinorities‡xSuffrage‡zUnited States‡vPopular works. 650 _ 4 ‡aRace discrimination‡xPolitical aspects‡zUnited States‡vPopular works. 650 _ 4 ‡aSuffrage‡zUnited States‡vPopular works. I know I could find and edit them in MarcEdit, but I don’t want to export all my bibs just to do this one fix. Any ideas? Thanks, Sarah Sarah B. Cornell Supervisor of Technical Services Portsmouth Public Library 175 Parrott Avenue Portsmouth, NH 03801 603-766-1730 http://www.cityofportsmouth.com/library

by Hans Manrique 04 Oct '18

04 Oct '18

Hello everyone, I would like to have a report of only fields 100 and 700 in a single column. I'm a student and I do not understand much about sql, but I've managed to get a 100 report through ExtractValue syntax queries (marcxml, xpath). But I do not know how to get one of the fields 100, 700 in a single report and in a column. Is that possible? Hans Manrique
