by Father Vlasie 25 May '18

25 May '18

Hello everyone, I am new to this mailing list. I am the IT person for the St. Photios Orthodox Theological Seminary in Etna, California, U.S.A. I have been working on and off with Koha for about a year. We are finally getting close to cataloguing our library. I am very excited for the new 18.05 release but when I try to upgrade through my Debian (4.9.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.82-1+deb9u3 (2018-03-02)) system I get the following feedback: ---- root@owl:# apt-get update Get:1 http://security.debian.org stretch/updates InRelease [94.3 kB] Get:2 http://security.debian.org stretch/updates/main Sources [140 kB] Get:3 http://security.debian.org stretch/updates/main amd64 Packages [353 kB] Ign:4 http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch InRelease Get:5 http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-updates InRelease [91.0 kB] Hit:6 http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch Release Get:8 http://security.debian.org stretch/updates/main Translation-en [165 kB] Get:9 http://debian.koha-community.org/koha stable InRelease [4,566 B] Get:10 http://debian.koha-community.org/koha stable/main amd64 Packages [18.8 kB] Fetched 867 kB in 1s (519 kB/s) Reading package lists...

Subject Cloud
by Rubén Fernández Asensio 25 May '18

25 May '18

Hi all, I run a small library and I want to allow OPAC users to browse our holdings by topic. Most of our holdings use the 653a MARC21 field as subject headings. I enabled the "OPAC Cloud" preference. Then I tried to build the tag database as instructed: export KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/sites/biblioteko/koha-conf.xml; /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/build_browser_and_cloud.pl -t 653a -c The command exited successfully, as far as I could tell. Now the OPAC shows a "Subject Cloud" link, but it only displays the following text: "Note: This feature only available to French catalogs where ISBD subjects have been populated, and an index built by separate script." According to HEA (https://hea.koha-community.org/systempreferences) at least 89 libraries around the world use this feature, and I can't believe they're all French language libraries. What are the exact requirements to have this working? Does any of you use this feature, and can guide me step by step? Rubén Fernández

Koha upgrade issues - from Koha 3.12 to Koha 17.11
by Help Desk DSS, UG 25 May '18

25 May '18

Hi, This is Sekhar from University of Guyana. I had sent an email few years back. We are trying to upgrade from Koha 3.12 to Koha 17.11 and encountering problems in updating database schema. These SQL errors are reported from updatedatabase.pl I am wondering why can't we export the biblios and items data in MARC format and import them back into new Koha installation using MARC Management. The only issue with this approach is circulation data. I am hoping that we can get around this by using Koha Offline Circulation tool. Your feedback is much appreciated. Thanks, Sekhar Mallampati University of Guyana

Please, can you help me with how to solve this problem so that I do not have to print patron cards in duplicates? Please, my users are waiting for their cards. Help please.

Koha metapackage dependencies at Debian
by Narcis Garcia 25 May '18

25 May '18

I'm reading at: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian only to install "koha-common" and not talking any word about the use of other metapackages: koha-deps koha-elasticsearch koha-perldeps Are those other recommended to not forget anything? Thanks.

by Mr Mutsikiwa Admire 25 May '18

25 May '18

Hi My old_issue table is empty as I have deleted it while trying to solve the problem of DBMS auto increment. I am wondering if it is possible to get a list of Checked out books from the action_log table. I am interested in the bibliographic information title, author and the time the book was checked out. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. -- Kind Regards, Admire Mutsikiwa (Mr) ICT Manager Libraries University of Zimbabwe Tel:+263-4-303276 Mob:+263782476883 “It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities.” Josiah Charles Stamp

Hi everybody, This is a follow-up of "Centralize and move to gitlab" The remote for the kohadocs repository must be replaced with https://gitlab.com/koha-community/koha-manual You certainly need to do the following to apply this change: `git remote set-url origin https://gitlab.com/koha-community/koha-manual` then update with `git fetch origin` Please report issues and make merge requests on this new url. Pushes are disabled and a new commit "This repository is OBSOLETE!" has been added to the previous repo, you should never see this commit in your local repository/branches (unless you did something wrong). Regards, Jonathan

Koha coverflow - no image available
by camilabezerra 24 May '18

Hello, I am trying to make the Koha coverflow plugin work, but the only image that I see is "No image available". <http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/file/t341092/Captura_de_tela_de_2018-05-2…> If I click in the image it shows me the cover. So the cover is not available only in the coverflow. <http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/file/t341092/Captura_de_tela_de_2018-05-2…> I am using Koha 17.11, already restart apache server a few times and followed the tutorial in https://blogssuresh.blogspot.com.br/2017/03/step-by-step-procedure-to-creat… Any ideas? A have no clue about this. -- Sent from: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-general-f3047918.html
