Bare Bones Import and Merge with Card Data
by Alvin W. 26 Jan '18

26 Jan '18

I've setup a new Koha on an Ubuntu server and am preparing my initial upload of data to populate it. I have a file of bare-bones data ISBN Title Author I've been working on the assumption that by using ISBN I can collect the rest of the data from z39.50 servers. I have figured out how to run a z39.50 search from inside Koha and I have been able to merge that with my items. But I haven't seen any way to automate that in some sort of batch run for all the items. Is it possible to automate the z39.50 search & merge inside Koha? Or would the better approach be to use a z39.50 client --before-- loading the data into Koha and when I build full-content records for the import. I've looked at z39.50 client software and almost all of it is either not supported, not found, or very, very old -- one link said it was for Windows 95! So -- to add card catalog/Marc data to complete my bare bones list -- can it be done in Koha or should I build those record before the Import? If before the import, can anyone recommend a z39.50 client? thanks very much for any help!!

Hi everybody! We are using koha version 16.11.04. Since last week we have lost access to koha at least once a day. It shows the following message: *Software error:* DBIx: :Class: : Storage: :DBI: : catch {...} () : DBI Connection failed: Can´t connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (111) at /us Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/ mainpage.pl line 31. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/ mainpage.pl line 31 Until last wednesday this has never happened before. And we haven't done anything diferent to cause this problem. Do you have any idea what might be wrong? Has it ever happened to anyone of you? Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks Vanda

How to know - 'not for loan' documents used inside the Library
by SATISH 24 Jan '18

24 Jan '18

Hi, In libraries, 'reference section' generally holds "not for loan" documents and I would like to know, how to use koha to keep track of - how many "not for loan" documents (books) consulted by the users. In specific to reference section, Is there any way, koha to make provision to submit by 1) cardnumber 2) barcode to store the details of documents taken temporarily (not referred as check-out) by users for reading (inside the library). So, it helps the library to generate report on how many documents consulted and number of users visited. In this direction, would you please recommend some guidance / share your thoughts. With Thanks Satish MV Librarian Govt. Engineering College, Hassan Karnataka, India. www.gechassan.ac.in --

Pop up Message "Leave a message" on Patron Circulation.
by Admire Mutsikiwa 23 Jan '18

23 Jan '18

I have migrated my Koha instance to a new server by re-installing the operating system (Debian 8.5) and installing Koha 17.5.6. My Koha instance, which was on a lower Koha 17.5.x was subsequently upgraded to 17.5.6. Now when I browse or search for a patron record, on displaying it, I am getting a pop up message "Pop up Message "Leave a message" . Any pointer on how to get over it.

Vietnamese language choice in OPAC appears in Chinese characters
by Daniel Owens 23 Jan '18

23 Jan '18

We have used Koha in Vietnam for several years, and when the vi-VN locale is installed, it appears in the OPAC as Chinese characters. Not the actual interface, mind you, just in the language selector: <a href="/cgi-bin/koha/opac-changelanguage.pl?language=vi-VN" tabindex="-1" role="menuitem" class="listmenulink">㗂越</a> That seems to be a bug to me, but maybe there is an explanation? Is there a way to fix it? It should be "Tiếng Việt" not "㗂越". Daniel
