how to maintain bilingual site. customizing left menu items in search results
by Vano Tsertsvadze 19 Aug '18

19 Aug '18

Dear friends, I'm writing from Georgian Institute of Public Affairs, we just installed koha 3.20 version, made some customization and added items in the library catalog for students purposes. Here are my two questions for this moment. The first is how to customize left menu items in search results. When user searches for something, menu block "refine your search" appears on the left side, showing a lot of indexes which i think are annoying. For example instead of holding and home libraries, I'd prefer to see holding library. So my question is if I can manage appearance of left menu items. Another question is how to maintain bilingual site in English and in Georgian. to be more clear - I would like to add library name in Georgian and in English in "Libraries and groups", allow users to see Georgian name in Georgian version and English name in English version. Best regards, Vano

Mapping MARC21 to Advanced Search
by Rubén Fernández Asensio 18 Aug '18

18 Aug '18

Hello all, I'm trying to plan the cataloguing requirements for our Esperanto library, and since we don't have to follow any other library's standards, we don't want to type more that strictly needed. My goal is cataloguing according to the information our own users will be able to retrieve from the Koha OPAC, no more, no less. However, the mapping of MARC21 fields to Advanced Search Options seems to be undocumented. For example, what field is used to search by language or publisher location? Why the "Content" option doesn't match character 33 of field 008? In the search field, what's the exact meaning of "Subject and broader terms", "Subject and narrower terms", "Subject and related terms", and "Curriculum"? Where are you supposed to input that when cataloguing? Sorry if my questions are naive, I'm just an amateur sysad and amateur librarian working in my spare time for a nonprofit. Rubén Fernández

Duplicate ISBN report modification
by Cab Vinton 17 Aug '18

17 Aug '18

Hi, All -- We're using the following report to identify records w/ duplicate ISBNs. SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(b.biblionumber SEPARATOR ', ') AS biblionumbers, b.title, b.author, GROUP_CONCAT(i.isbn SEPARATOR ', ') AS isbns FROM biblio b LEFT JOIN biblioitems i ON (i.biblionumber=b.biblionumber) GROUP BY CONCAT(substr(b.title,0,9),"/",i.isbn) HAVING COUNT(CONCAT(substr(b.title,0,9),"/",i.isbn))>1 We're a coop, however, so it would be helpful to limit the results to cases where our particular library owns at least one of the associated items. Adding the following lines did not provide correct results, unfortunately: LEFT JOIN items m ON (m.biblionumber=b.biblionumber) WHERE m.homebranch = <<Library|branches>> I suspect a subquery may be required, but it's beyond my current proficiency w/ MySQL :-( Thanks in advance for any guidance. All best, Cab Vinton, Director Plaistow Public Library Plaistow, NH

New OPAC CSS suggestion
by Claire Gravely 16 Aug '18

16 Aug '18

Hi all, At the Marseille Hackfest this year Owen and I discussed modernising the look of the Koha OPAC. I have written a patch with a suggestion for updated styling, which can be found on bug 20554 https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20554. Functionality of the OPAC has not been changed, just the styling. I have added some screenshots to the bug. Any feedback is welcome, as is testing ;) (A note for those wanting to test, once the patches have been applied you will need to compile the Sass files, see https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Working_with_SCSS_in_the_OPAC_and_staf… ) And massive thanks to Owen for the help with patch-submission and rebasing J Cheers, Claire

Re: [Koha] Worldcat's xISBN Web service, down?

Thanks Bryan (and others who replied me privately). Do not hesitate to inform the Koha dev team when something like that happens, it seems that none of the Koha devs were aware of that change. We are gonna be a bit late then, but I will submit a patch in the next few hours to remove the related code.
