Development in Progress - Rental Fees based on Time Period
by Martha Fuerst 26 Jul '18

26 Jul '18

Hi, all! We recently funded a development that allows rental fees based on time period as opposed to flat fees for each item type. Our plan is to use this to smooth out our workflow when checking out Wi-Fi Hotspots to our patrons. It’s Bug #20912 - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20912 <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20912> I’ve just finished testing it, and it works great. If you’re inclined, go ahead and give it a run and help us get this signed off and through the queue. Thanks!

Checkout error - duplicate ID
by noris45 25 Jul '18

25 Jul '18

Hi, I am facing a problem, when I try to check out a book it show me an error "Duplicate ID". In logs I did not find something coresponding to it. I searched and found that there is some problem with autoincrement ID, but can't figure out how to fix it (which exactly table i have to fix). Anyone who had the same problem? Thanks -- Sent from: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-general-f3047918.html

Overdue reminder emails in Koha
by Chris Brown 25 Jul '18

25 Jul '18

Hello, Is there any way to configure Koha to send out a reminder email a couple of days BEFORE a book is due back? For example, can I enter a negative number in the "Delay" field on the overdue notice / status triggers screen? Also is there a log kept of the overdue notices that have been sent? I am using Postfix to send mail, and Koha 17.11 Thanks, Chris Brown

Requesting opinions on proposed change to cataloging interface
by Owen Leonard 25 Jul '18

25 Jul '18

I'm in the process of updating the staff client templates so that they use a Bootstrap grid instead of the (very very old) YUI grid. The goal of this change is to improve the staff client's adaptability to screens of various sizes. Bug 20044 - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20044 I've made changes to the "basic" cataloging editor which make some elements of the page more responsive to page width. Currently the cataloging editor is fixed-width. Here's a brief screencast: https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cFiZ2nFKD0 Does this seem like an improvement to you? Do you prefer the current fixed-width version? Thanks, Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org

Re: [Koha] Cataloging Error
by Caroline Cyr-La-Rose 24 Jul '18

24 Jul '18

Hi Ashley! I've never used 3.18, so my answer might not be 100% right. I often get that error if I don't fill out the control fields (000, 003, 008, and especially 005 which I always forget). If you want to see which fields are mandatory, go to Administration > MARC bibliographic framework. Be sure to check the right framework you were using while cataloging (to check that, click on the Settings button in the cataloging form https://snag.gy/cNuFsB.jpg) Once you're in the right framework, there is a column that says "Mandatory". This applies to the entire field. So for example, 000 is mandatory. However, subfields also have a "mandatory" flag. I'm not sure if you can have a mandatory subfield in a non mandatory field (not sure that makes sense), but I'd check that too. For example, 245 might not be mandatory, but 245 $a might be mandatory. If you don't want to check all the 999+ subfields manually, you can export your framework in Excel or equivalent and check the mandatory column for 1's. Let me know if you need more help!

Cataloging Error
by Ashley Bassett (RMUoHP) 24 Jul '18

24 Jul '18

Hello Koha list, I am receiving the following error when I try to add an item to the catalog: Form not submitted because of the following problem(s) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - 1 mandatory fields empty (highlighted) I am not seeing any fields highlighted and nothing seems to be missing! I was able to get it to work last time by re-staging the record from OCLC, but no luck this time. We are running 3.18 (yes, we need to upgrade, it's on our to do list). I have looked in the user manual under adding items and MARC frameworks, but haven't found anything helpful yet. Any ideas where to start or where to look in the manual? I'm not a particularly savvy Koha user. :) Thank you!!!
