Wrong/Truncate Calculation in Acquisition
by vinod mishra 16 Sep '17

16 Sep '17

Dear All, Probably i am facing problem related to bug https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18471 in Koha 16.11.07 but even after upgrading to on my test machine to 16.11.11 and restored the database, previous calculation does not get corrected and still showing the same first 1/2 digit of entire numerical value if more than 1000. Please suggest. With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.

Internal server error when trying to open Budget or Funds
by Michael Kuhn 15 Sep '17

15 Sep '17

Hi When trying to click "Budgets" or "Funds" in Koha menu "Administration > Acquisition parameters" just a blank page appears, saying "Internal server error". Like this, of course, no new budget or fund can be added. I am experiencing this on Koha 16.11.1 as well as on Koha 17.05.1 (but not on Koha 16.11.4). I tried this as a user with the rights of a "superlibrarian" as well as with a user with fewer permissions. Has anyone experienced the same and can help, or should I maybe open a bug case?

Koha Data Migration and cover Image
by Chinmoy 15 Sep '17

15 Sep '17

1. How to migrate data from koha to excel format marc tagwise like 020a, 020c, 041a, 082a,082b, 100, 245a, 245b, 245c, 250, 260a,260b, 260c, 300a,440a, 500a, 650a, 700a,700b,700c,700d,700-4,942c etc. 2. If a book not available in www.amazon.com but available in Amazon India(www.amazon.in) then how can I get cover image of that book. In koha there is no option to select Amazon India services from Amazon Locale because here only American, British, Japanese, French, German and Canadian are available. In India various languages are there so various language books are available in www.amazon.in site but we cannot obtain the book cover in koha for local language books. 3. Another point is when we search a book in catalogue first shows the normal view and in normal view sequence is Title(245a), Subtitle(245b), Statement of Responsibility (245c) then By: Main Entry Personal name(100a), Contributor(s): (700a), (700b), (700c), Relator code(700-4). In normal view mode there is no punctuation mark i.e (: colon) between Title (245a) and Subtitle (245b). Also Statement of Responsibility (245c) and By: Main Entry Personal name(100), Contributor(s): (700a), (700b), (700c), Relator code(700-4) both i.e 245c and 700abc are meaningless because same thing appears two times. I think (245c) is not required to display in Normal view. When we setup ISBD Template we put there punctuation mark and at the time of data entry we do not add punctuation mark as a result in Normal view mode Title , Subtitle, SOR are coming without punctuation mark and it is very confusing to a new user. Maximum Library authority do the data entry job by non Librarian worker and they do not know the punctuation mark so it is better to setup with punctuation mark at the time of display page designing. Also after (260a) :colon; (260b) ,comma ; (260c).dot and after pagination (300a) p. may be inserted. It is my earnest request to the concern persons to look into the matter for betterment of koha services. Thanking you, Chinmoy Ghosh. -- Sent from: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-general-f3047918.html

Firefox Screenshots
by George 14 Sep '17

14 Sep '17

Hello everyone, Firefox updated on my computer last night and, without asking me if I wanted it or not, the new Firefox has "Firefox Screenshots" was enabled by default. If you haven't seen this new built-in feature yet, one of its functions is to allow you to very easily save screenshots to an unsecured location in the cloud. Naturally anything that allows staff to, potentially, save confidential data to an unsecured location in the cloud causes me great concern and the only advice I can find from Mozilla is just an explanation of how to disable this new feature by turning it off using "about:config." Since I have to worry about staff at 51 different library locations with 2-20 staff computer per location, tuning this off using about:config is not feasible for me. My concern here isn't that staff will purposefully start taking screenshots like crazy and sharing them with their friends but that they will take a screenshot to share a problem or a concern with me or other staff and click on the button that saves the screenshot to the cloud without realizing that anyone with the URL will be able to access the screenshot. So, I looked at what is happening in Koha when you click on the screenshot icon or by right clicking on "Take a screenshot" and figured out that some jQuery would stop staff at all of our libraries from using this new feature. This should prevent anyone from accidentally saving confidential information somewhere where they shouldn't. The only thing that I don't like about this method of disabling this feature is that, if someone does try to use Firefox Screenshots while in the Koha staff client, they will probably end up with a pop-up message on their screen saying "Woah! Firefox Screenshots went haywire." If anyone else wants this jQuery for this, it's on the community wiki at https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/JQuery_Library#Disable_.28more-or-less… See you all later, George -- George Williams NExpress Coordinator Send NExpress support e-mails to nexpresshelp(a)nekls.org
