Unable to WITHDRAW items after recent upgrades
by Steve Nickerson 01 Apr '18

01 Apr '18

I have 2 different Koha 17.11.03 environments (both Debian package installs) that I've recently upgraded where I am unable to withdraw items. In one case it displays as "withdrawn" in the UI and in the other one it never even shows as withdrawn even when I click "Save" when editing the item. In both cases the items.withdrawn field in the database stays a "0". Anyone else seeing issues withdrawing items or have any suggestions for what might be going wrong? Thanks in advance! Steve

Customized MARC21 framework
by Narcis Garcia 01 Apr '18

01 Apr '18

As I understand, a valid way to have a customized framework (as most compatible as possible) is: 1. Go to MARC frameworks 2. Esport "BASE" (default) framework to CSV format 3. Edit file with a text editor and remove all lines except: - Headings - Mask lines ("#-#") - Desired subtags to be used finally - The tags that have selected subtags 4. Create +New framework 5. Import edited file to new created framework. Am I right to patrons use it for cataloguing? Thanks.

Dear Community, We would like to modify a online book request through OPAC, There are some fields are already available on OPAC, However we would like to add some more following fields, Please help us in getting source codes for the same. 1. OPAC through made book requests are directly reflecting on Staff clients but instead of this we would like to provide a dedicated mail id for this. 2. We would like to make some "mandatory field" as well as "Drop Box" option for some other fields. These are my primary queries, Awaiting for your earliest replies, Thanks in advance *Best Regards* *Siddu M.

Indexing a new field--what am I doing wrong?
by King, Fred 29 Mar '18

29 Mar '18

Esteemed colleagues: I'm trying to add three fields to the Advanced Search options in my Koha Local Authors catalog. This is a modified version of Koha that indexes Medline records (medical literature), for which I have added a few MARC fields and changed some others to make them fit Medline field tags. I changed the OPAC-results and OPAC-detail XSL files and opac-advsearch.tt and masthead.inc (though I think that changed back when I updated) to reflect the changed descriptions. You can see the current production site at www.medstarauthors.org. Now I'm trying something a bit more difficult: I'm trying to index the 651 tag (Institution), 656 tag (Department), and 253 tag (Journal Name) so they can be searched. The 651 and 656 fields already exist, the 253 is new. The odd thing is that I got the 651 to display, but the 656 and 253 won't. If I go to Advanced Search and put "Harbor Hospital" in "Institution" I get 30 citations written by Harbor Hospital authors. If I try "surgery" or "urology" in "Department" or "New England Journal of Medicine" or even just plain "Medicine" in the "Journal" field, I come up with nothing. Here are some excertps from the files I modified: biblio-koha-indexdefs.xml <index_subfields tag="651" subfields="9"> <target_index>Koha-Auth-Number:w</target_index> </index_subfields> <index_data_field tag="651"> <target_index>Name-geographic:w</target_index>  </index_data_field> <index_subfields tag="656" subfields="9"> <target_index>Koha-Auth-Number:w</target_index> </index_subfields>  <index_data_field tag="656"> <target_index>Subject-occupation:w</target_index> <target_index>Subject-occupation:p</target_index>  </index_data_field>  <index_data_field tag="253"> <target_index>Referenced-journal:w</target_index> <target_index>Referenced-journal:p</target_index> </index_data_field> ccl.properties #Name-geographic 58 Name of a country, 651 # jurisdiction, region, or # geographic feature. Name-geographic 1=Name-geographic Name-geographic-heading 1=Name-geographic-heading Name-geographic-see 1=Name-geographic-see Name-geographic-seealso 1=Name-geographic-seealso  inst Name-geographic  Subject-occupation 1=1221 Subject-occupation 1=Subject-occupation dept Subject-occupation [Note: I've tried it with Subject-occupation 1=1221 and 1=Subject-occupation together and singly; none worked.] Referenced-journal 1=1069 Referenced-journal 1=Referenced-journal jrnl Referenced-journal [Note: same here.] opac-advsearch.tt <option value="ti">Title</option> <option value="au,wrdl">Author</option>  <option value="inst">Institution</option> <option value="dept">Department</option> <option value="jrnl">Journal</option> The test site is at 159.65.234.53; I'm running Koha 17.11 and Ubuntu 16.04. I've run koha-rebuild-zebra -v -f authcat after each modification. I'm probably overlooking something really simple that I've looked at too many times to notice. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm signing off for the evening; if anyone has questions I'll be back around 7:30 EDT Thursday morning.

bulkmarcimport.pl AND -match= fails when trying to import (bibliographic) records
by Nicolas Rucks 29 Mar '18

29 Mar '18

Hello there! This is my first message to the list, nice to meet you all. I am a Systems Librarian at FCEN, Universidad de Buenos Aires. This is the thing: I am trying to import some bibliographic records into KOHA with BULKMARCIMPORT.PL I first imported the records with bulkmarcimport.pl perl /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl -biblios -v -fk -all -commit 1000 -file=/home/nrucks/20recs.mrc (file /home/nrucks/20recs.mrc contains 20 marc bibliographic records) So far so good, everything is OK, I can see the 20 new records reflected on the website, on MYSQL database and in zebra indexes (rebuilt with koha-rebuild-zebra). Then I made some modifications to the original 20 records and tried to import then again with BULKMARCIMPORT.PL , only this time using the -match= option, because I don't want to ADD records, but REPLACE them with corrections. Field 035 of each record contains and keeps a unique identifier like the following: 035 $a (Ag-BiblioFCEN)000000002 perl /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl -biblios -v -fk -all -commit 1000 -file=/home/nrucks/20recs-modified.mrc -match=035 (file /home/nrucks/20recs-modified.mrc has 20 marc bibliographic records, slightly modified from 20recs.mrc ) But this always fails... I get this for each of the 20 records: << .Use of uninitialized value $recorddata in pattern match (m//) at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl line 582, <GEN46> line 1. unable to search the database for duplicates : No query entered at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl line 290, <GEN46> line 1. >> I tried some variants like -match=035a, with same results. Note that the marc records are OK: I did try the same through the website, and worked fine: records were correctly REPLACED. http://.../cgi-bin/koha/tools/stage-marc-import.pl http://.../cgi-bin/koha/tools/manage-marc-import.pl <select name="overlay_action" id="overlay_action"> <option value="replace" selected="selected">Reemplace un registro existente con uno nuevo</option> But I plan to do this on a larger scale, and anyway, bulkmarcimport.pl should work. Any recommendations as to the syntax of -match option? , or conditions of zebra index? Or options to use another field (-i ISBN will not do since many of our books do not have it)? Or even some kind of hardcode workaround to BULKMARCIMPORT.PL (meaning "use THIS FIELD to check if record already exists"), or any other things I am obviously not taking into account?
