added new library branch -- lost all collections
by Jack Boulier 11 Apr '18

11 Apr '18

I have ubuntu xenial and koha 17.11.04. I added a new library to the database and added some books to that library. When I did a search for the text I could not find them as a superuser. The search would always query the original database and not the new branch. In the database I was able to locate the records with an SQL query. I attempted to run the koha-rebuild-zebra library attempting to get the collection updated. Now I have lost the entire collection. However the database is still complete in mariadb. Now I can not locate any items in the database. ThanksJack

Unknown subscription frequency
by Maria Hedberg 10 Apr '18

10 Apr '18

Hi, According to the manual on https://koha-community.org/manual/17.11/html/08_serials.html there's supposed to be some pre-defined options for Frequency. Two of the pre-defined options are supposed to be: "Without periodicy: some very specific (usually high level science journals) don't have a true periodicity. When you subscribe to the title, you subscribe for 6 issues, which can arrive in 1 year... or 2... There is no regularity or known schedule. Unknown select this if none of the other choices are relevant" What is the difference in the settings of the two? If there is no frequency, and there is no pattern either, how do you define an "empty" number pattern? Kind regards, Maria

charging hold fees at item type level
by Hugh Rundle 07 Apr '18

07 Apr '18

Hi all I'm having a bit of a librarian fail on Bugzilla and hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Charging hold fees at the patron category level doesn't really work well for us. We want to use this functionality to charge only for inter-library loans, which means we need to be able to set it at the item type level (like a rental fee). I'm sure I saw this suggested in Bugzilla somewhere, but I can't find the ticket if, indeed, it actually does exist. Is anyone able to either (a) confirm or deny this bugzilla bug exists (and point me to it if it does) or (b) confirm it's actually in a current or future version (hopeful!) thanks Hugh Rundle Library Systems & Resource Coordinator | Community Learning & Participation This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.

Connexion client alternatives
by Chad Roseburg 06 Apr '18

06 Apr '18

It seems like the OCLC Connexion client has been orphaned over the past few years. It's a pain to maintain/install and deal with and we're looking for alternatives from the post-1999 CE era. Anyone using alternatives for creating/uploading/downloading records and printing item labels? Is it possible to replace with MarcEdit? Thank you! -- Chad Roseburg Assoc.
