Barcode Scanners
by Wascally Wabbit 24 Apr '18

24 Apr '18

Is there a generally recommended bar code scanner to use for check-in/check-out? Would that same scanner work for doing inventory? The scanner section of the documentation seems a bit sparse in describing how to configure the scanner to work, perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place? And finally, is anyone using a mobile phone app to do barcode scanning? Trying to get a general feel for what we should be looking for. Thanks for any help!

Thank you Katrin, I'll do that. In the mean time, someone wrote to me suggesting I put all of the receipt information inside of the <checkedout></checkedout> tags when modifying the html of ISSUEQSLIP, this turned out as a separate receipt for each item that would normally appear grouped in the checkout section on the quick slip. For now, it works fine.

fighting feature creep and cleaning up Koha
by Gaetan Boisson 23 Apr '18

23 Apr '18

Hello community, (please don't answer to this message with comments about the specific issues mentioned, do it rather on bugzilla to keep things manageable, thanks!) during the last hackfest in Marseille we started a list of features or parts of Koha that currently exist but don't make us entirely happy for a reason or another and could be removed. At first i was only thinking of broken features that are part of Koha, then defaults that could be better, and it grew to whole parts that might be considered not so useful. (The list was made mostly by me and two other BibLibre project managers : Claudie and Stéphane, Owen also had a look.) Since we started i have found the right term for what i was concerned with: feature creep. I feel like there's been a very solid effort into refactoring code. But we should also consider the features themselves. Every feature comes with a cost: we need to maintain the code for it, we need to maintain documentation about it, we need to train people about them, etc. Having redundant features might look like it leaves choice to the user and is a good thing, but it can turn into a mess pretty fast. Another aspect that i am really concerned about are features that don't actually work. The best example for this according to me is results highlighting. I'm so used to the interface I barely see it any longer and don't pay attention, but it's broken, and new users notice it. This kind of not really functional feature included in the release looks extremely bad in my opinion. We need to do something about it to make Koha more accessible and better. As this is very much as controversial as this sounds, some of these bugs have generated debates, as expected. So i'm bringing this to the mailing list in order for all users to be able to have a look at them and tell us what they think. Since there are a few places concerned, an omnibus was created: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20396. I don't want to send one message per topic to the list, that would probably be way too much. I also think it won't be that productive if the debates start from this generic message on the list. If you are a library with a strong opinion about one of these issues, i suggest you create an account on bugzilla and voice your concerns there. You are most welcome to do so in order to say that killing feature X is a great idea! (I expect we are more likely to hear from people who are against change than from people who are for it.) I'd like to add that since i don't write code, i'm not going to "kill" any of these features myself, this is more about putting the spotlight on some aspects of Koha that i think should be streamlined. Here's what was created so far, i will try to put the more contentious issues first: - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20415 Remove UseKohaPlugins system preference - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20417 Remove OpacCloud system preference and feature - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20528 Remove the items tab from the detailed bibliographic view - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20398 Add a system preference to disable search result highlighting in the staff interface - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20401 "Item circulation alerts" is overkill and could be removed - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20406 Remove ISBD display - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20408 Remove the availability facet and filter - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20414 Remove COinSinOPACResults system preference and make it always on - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10047 "Cataloguing search maybe useless?": in the cataloguing module, there is a different kind of search, that we could do without. - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12561 Omnibus: Deprecate non-XSLT detail and result views - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20399 "Remove "did you mean" for the staff interface" - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20403 Refactor "Keywords to marc mapping" - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20404 Extended patron attributes should always be on - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20405 enhanced messaging preference should always be on - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20409 Remove OpacBrowseResults system preference and make it always on - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20410 Remove OpacGroupResults system preference and feature - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20411 Remove StaffDetailItemSelection system preference and make the feature always on - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20413 Remove the "template" system preference - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20416 Remove hide_marc and advancedMARCeditor system preferences - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20418 Remove UpdateTotalIssuesOnCirc and make it cron everywhere -- Gaetan Boisson Chef de projet bibliothécaire BibLibre +33(0)6 52 42 51 29 108 rue Breteuil 13006 Marseille gaetan.boisson(a)biblibre.com

Set report sort order at runtime
by Cab Vinton 23 Apr '18

23 Apr '18

Is this possible? This code did not work: ORDER BY <<Sorted by (dateaccessioned, itemcallnumber)>> as SQL turned this into: ORDER BY 'itemcallnumber' Think this would be a useful feature if Koha will allow it. Thanks in advance for any guidance, Cab Vinton, Director Plaistow Public Library Plaistow, NH

Behavior of Issue Quick Slip (ISSUEQSLIP)
by Mai 22 Apr '18

22 Apr '18

Hello friends, According to the manual, "The quick slip only includes items that were checked out today" but I need to print just one slip for each transaction. Is it possible to modify the behavior of the ISSUEQSLIP Notice? I´m running Koha 16.11.08.000 and have the preference CircAutoPrintQuickSlip set to 'open a print quick slip window' Thanks in advance, -- Maite Arakaki

Need to change the pickup location of the hold
by Anne-Marie Mana Deweerdt 20 Apr '18

20 Apr '18

Hello, We are configuring the "holds" functionality in Koha and we disabled the possibility for the user to chose the pickup location, to suspend the hold etc. However when we place a hold it takes the patron home library as the pickup location. We would like to know if it is possible to configure that and have the item's home library in place of the patron's home library. In our libraries once a patron makes a request on an available item he has to pick it up by himself from the shelves. We prepare the item only for "closed stack request". If the request was placed on a checked out book he receives an alert that the item is ready to pickup at the circulation desk. Kind regards, -- Mana Deweerdt

Koha for our office library
by Raimund Klein 19 Apr '18

19 Apr '18

Hi there, This is Raimund from ThoughtWorks Manchester. We're looking at adding a management system to our little office library, mainly with the view of adding electronic checkout capabilities - we're a Tech company highly interested in all things that have to do with little sensors etc., so this seems like a reasonable project which could actually show off some ideas to our clients in the future. We already have some capability on the sensor side, but I don't want to write an inventory system from scratch. A librarian friend of mine pointed me to Koha, and I played around with the demo on the web - quite impressive. My next step would be to try it out in combination with sticking a tag into a few of our books - for now on my dev machine (a Mac). Now I understand from the website that Koha usually runs on some flavour of Linux, preferably Debian. So I tried several things: - Setting up a Debian Virtual Box and installing everything there. Turned into a lot of pain, probably because I didn't find a good raw Debian image to start with. - Tried the same with CentOS. I actually got much further, but then I noticed that I didn't understand the Koha installation itself. - I stumbled upon the Docker image <https://hub.docker.com/r/digibib/koha/> from the Oslo Public Library. For my purposes, this sounds ideal; however, it doesn't seem to work out of the box. When I start it and point my browser to localhost:8080 or 8081, all I get is a HTTP 500; the logs indicate that the DB isn't set up properly: ==> /var/log/koha/name/plack-error.log <== DBD::mysql::db do failed: Table 'koha_name.systempreferences' doesn't exist [for Statement " SELECT * FROM systempreferences WHERE 1 = 0 "] at /usr/share/koha/lib/Koha/Database.pm line 93. DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Table 'koha_name.systempreferences' doesn't exist [for Statement "SELECT `me`.`variable`, `me`.`value`, `me`.`options`, `me`.`explanation`, `me`.`type` FROM `systempreferences` `me` WHERE ( `me`.`variable` = ? )" with ParamValues: 0='casauthentication'] at /usr/share/perl5/DBIx/Class/Storage/DBI.pm line 1832. DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Table 'koha_name.systempreferences' doesn't exist [for Statement "SELECT `me`.`variable`, `me`.`value`, `me`.`options`, `me`.`explanation`, `me`.`type` FROM `systempreferences` `me` WHERE ( `me`.`variable` = ? )" with ParamValues: 0='caslogout'] at /usr/share/perl5/DBIx/Class/Storage/DBI.pm line 1832.

That won't even start for me: TASK [Update apt cache if needed] ********************************************** fatal: [jessie]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "'/usr/bin/apt-get dist-upgrade' failed: E: You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/.\n", "rc": 100, "stdout": "Reading package lists...\nBuilding dependency tree...\nReading state information...\nThe following NEW packages will be installed:\n firmware-linux-free irqbalance libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-data libnuma1\n linux-image-3.16.0-5-amd64 shared-mime-info xdg-user-dirs\nThe following packages will be upgraded:\n bind9-host dnsutils exim4 exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light\n gcc-4.9-base host isc-dhcp-client isc-dhcp-common libbind9-90\n libcurl3-gnutls libdns-export100 libdns100 libgcc1 libicu52 libirs-export91\n libisc-export95 libisc95 libisccc90 libisccfg-export90 libisccfg90\n liblwres90 libssl1.0.0 libstdc++6 libtiff5 libxml2 linux-image-amd64 openssl\n perl perl-base perl-modules sensible-utils\n33 upgraded, 8 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.\nNeed to get 60.6 MB of archives.\nAfter this operation, 182 MB of additional disk space will be used.\n", "stdout_lines": ["Reading package lists...", "Building dependency tree...", "Reading state information...", "The following NEW packages will be installed:", " firmware-linux-free irqbalance libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-data libnuma1", " linux-image-3.16.0-5-amd64 shared-mime-info xdg-user-dirs", "The following packages will be upgraded:", " bind9-host dnsutils exim4 exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light", " gcc-4.9-base host isc-dhcp-client isc-dhcp-common libbind9-90", " libcurl3-gnutls libdns-export100 libdns100 libgcc1 libicu52 libirs-export91", " libisc-export95 libisc95 libisccc90 libisccfg-export90 libisccfg90", " liblwres90 libssl1.0.0 libstdc++6 libtiff5 libxml2 linux-image-amd64 openssl", " perl perl-base perl-modules sensible-utils", "33 upgraded, 8 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.", "Need to get 60.6 MB of archives.", "After this operation, 182 MB of additional disk space will be used."]} At this point, I'm happy to receive any help. Ideally, I'd like to get the Docker image to work. (Should I have sent this to the wrong mailing list, please let me know. Since I'm not planning to do any development on Koha itself, I still view myself as a user; but please let me know if my understanding is wrong.)
