Missing database schema for Koha 17.11
by Michael Kuhn 17 Jan '18

17 Jan '18

Hi Usually the database schema of the Koha versions can be found under http://schema.koha-community.org/ but there is no database schema for Koha 17.11. Also it cannot be found under an URL looking like http://schema.koha-community.org/17_11/ (which results in nginx error 404 Not found). Does anyone know where it can be found or how to create it? There is a database schema for the "Koha development version" under http://schema.koha-community.org/master/ but this stems from 26 June 2017 and so is a little outdated.

Search not working after migrato to 17.11
by Giuseppe Passanisi 16 Jan '18

16 Jan '18

Hello, I migrated a koha from 3.14 to 17.11, all worked fine. I can see all books, but when I do a search by keywords or by subject the resultset is empty. But if I click on RSS feed I see the correct result of the search. What could be the issue? I already tried to recreate the index of zebra, but no luck. BR, Giuseppe Passanisi

Export from one library, Import to another?
by Alvin W. 16 Jan '18

16 Jan '18

Hi, I'm new here. My background is software development, not Library Science, so there's been a whole lotta learning going on. I've recently installed Koha 17.05.06.00 on Ubuntu 17 and it seems to be running okay. This is for a small organization with about 4,000 volumes to organize and track. So far, I've only got a couple of test books records in the library. I have a spreadsheet with the organizations books that I need to convert into MARC format (preferably XML) and then load. As a means of testing things, what I've been trying to do is go to one of the sample sites, export their data, and then import it into my Koha instance. I've been working on the assumption that I can go to one of the sample sites, Export their data, then just import it to mine -- no changes needed. Hasn't worked yet -- so am I naive to think it would be that simple? Are there header records of some sort that need to be adjusted when readying an export for import elsewhere? Basically, I don't care about the content, I just want a verified file that I was able to Import correctly, to serve as a baseline for the actual collection when I load it, so that if errors occur, it should be easier to figure out exactly what went wrong. So -- should it be possible to just Export from one library and directly Import it to another library or are the changes I need to make to the file to make it loadable by the target library? Or maybe there are quirks to the samples I've tried to use? Can anyone recommend a good source for a sample file I can use to test Import? XML preferred, but I can work with the other format if need be. Thanks for any help!

Student Effort - Maybe/Possibly
by Nick Rosasco 16 Jan '18

16 Jan '18

Hello all ~ Katrin and others from the recent IRC meeting suggested I send out a hello&question(s) email.... so here goes? [I'm also going with the suggestion to reach out to a couple of you individually...] I was a contributor from (way way) back, mostly on the documentation front - roughly 2003? I think! I'm now an academic (after some time in industry), with responsibility for the "big project" class at small University in the US. I'd like to offer students the chance to contribute to an open source project that has some complexity and has been around awhile (for both teaching and community-contribution reasons). Is there a feature/plugin/something that would make sense for them? I'm open to suggestions! [Please email me...off list!] The students in my course get a choice of what to work on (so something they can point to at the end would be good!) so I can't guarantee an actual team at this point. The other wrinkle is that they only have a semester (about the end of April) to do the work. All by way of introduction! Thanks, and it is good to (sortof) be back?!, Nick

Hi, delete tabs, use indicators like in 035 $a ... 039 9 $a ... 245 10 $a ... 700 1 $a ... and convert your marc-text records to MARC binary or marcxml using yaz-marcdump.
