Self Check - "Outsdanding fines block issue"
by Uğur BULGAN 27 Jul '17

27 Jul '17

We are recently using Koha 3.14.02. version and we updated this version to the 16.11.07 version and we begun testing this newer version. But we ran into a problem with selfcheck device in the tests we did. Our library users can borrow and place holds on materials until the overdue fine is 10 TL. They can not borrow when the overdue fine is over 10 TL. When we operate on the staff client there is no problem in the new version and the system is running properly. However when we operate with the SelfCheck (3M) device, we get "outstanding fines block issue" error when library users' overdue fine is below 10 TL. Why do we get this error on selfcheck when there is no problem on staff client? Could there be a situation related to SIP2 server settings? Also, SelfCheck (3M) device is occasionally disconnected from the connection with the SIP2 server. In the old version we used (3.14.2), there are no such problems. When we update the new version (16.11.07) we are experiencing this problem. (Note: we got SIP2 server settings exactly the same as the old server).

Reminder: dev meetings are essential
by Jonathan Druart 26 Jul '17

26 Jul '17

Hello everybody, To me, when someone never attends any dev meetings it means: - they do not have specific needs/priorities - they do not have any opinions on how the development team is prioritizing / organising the next developments - they do not want to get involved in the technical decisions Is that true for you as well? Or is it just a matter of timetable? In that case let me know and we will try to find a solution. Cheers, Jonathan

I tried to add the "Listen" lines and it breaks everything for me. What is the behaviour if you remove them? Do you access the staff interface (login form) or the opac interface (maintenance screen)?

Bulk Patron Image upload zip file giving Error 500
by Sunil Sharma 26 Jul '17

26 Jul '17

Hello Friends, I am using Koha 16.05.12 with Debian 8.3 OS on my cloud server. Currently, I am facing a very strange problem while uploading a single patron image via Koha Bulk Patron image upload tool, the image file is uploading fine. But When I tried using *zip file* of all patron images with a mapped text file named as IDLINK.TXT, As soon as I browse the zip file and try to upload the file, the page will through error 500. I had checked many Koha versions i.e. Koha 3.22.x, Koha 16.05.x, Koha 16.11.x but same *error 500* will be the result. To troubleshoot the problem I had tested the same Koha versions with same zip file at my local virtual machine but the strange problem which I found, that* all Koha* versions with bulk patron upload feature *worked fine on Debian 8.2 *but *through error 500 with Debian 8.3 * I had tested with different Apache versions but on Debian 8.2 all things worked fine, but on Debian 8.3 no success (may be any security fetch or something wrong is there) As there are a lot of other application are running on my cloud server so I can't change the OS. Please guide me what will I do? The Koha error logs are as given below: *[Thu Jul 12 13:43:02.2017] [http:error] [pid 16357] [client x.x.x.x] AH02429: Response header name ' extracting' contains invalid characters, aborting request, referer: http://example.com/cgi-bin/koha/tools/picture-upload.pl <http://example.com/cgi-bin/koha/tools/picture-upload.pl>[Thu Jul 12 13:50:38.2017] [http:error] [pid 14327] [client x.x.x.x] AH02429: Response header name ' inflating' contains invalid characters, aborting request, referer: http://example.com/cgi-bin/koha/tools/picture-upload.pl <http://example.com/cgi-bin/koha/tools/picture-upload.pl>[Thu Jul 12 13:59:27.2017] [http:error] [pid 25507] [client x.x.x.x] AH02429: Response header name ' inflating' contains invalid characters, aborting request, referer: http://example.com/cgi-bin/koha/tools/picture-upload.pl <http://example.com/cgi-bin/koha/tools/picture-upload.pl>* Any pointers would be of help. -- Thanks & Regards Sunil Sharma

Wiping all partial or full Koha isntallation(s) and installing stable under Mint
by C.J.S. Hayward 25 Jul '17

25 Jul '17

I have a virtual machine that may have two conflicting Koha installations. What, if anything, can I do that will wipe all Koha installations completely, and install a new stable from scratch, following https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian? I don't know if I *exactly* need to go so far as to delete details like the Koha repository in aptitude... but I am willing to do so if I am advised. I do think it would be better to wipe any Koha-created directory heirarchies, and drop any Koha-related databases. (Note: My system doesn't contain any valuable information *in* Koha; the only loss would be the time and energy to delete and rebuild the installation.) -- christos Jonathan Seth Hayward, An Orthodox Christian author.

Duplicate Biblio Records
by Tim Young 22 Jul '17

22 Jul '17

Every once in a while I help out with a Koha installation. At the moment, they have asked me to fix a bunch of duplicate biblio records. I have found two main ways to do this. A manual way where you are in control every step of the way: http://manual.koha-community.org/3.2/en/stafflists.html#mergebibrecs And a potentially destructive way where you just guess and see what happens: https://saturn.ffzg.hr/koha/index.cgi?action=revision_view;page_name=removi… As I understand it, the latter basically has you choose one of the biblio records, point all your identical items to the one biblio record, and delete the other biblio records. Then, one runs a script (sync_items_in_marc_bib.pl) to add any missing data to the biblio record by pulling the data from the items. Being a mysql guy and scripting guy, this latter approach seems to be the "easy" way to do it. If I were a librarian and understood the biblio data, I might be howling in anguish at the thought of randomly selecting the biblio record. But I have no idea what the information means. I am a sysadmin and have no real understanding nor ownership of the data. And, I am not sure the people asking me to do this job completely understand the nuances of this either. So, I ask the Koha community for advice. Should I make a little script that runs the duplicate biblio sql script, selects one of the biblio records to point all the items to, and delete all the other biblio records? One would need to sync the marc items and reindex when done. Or is that basically a terrible thing to do? And, if I make such a script, is there a place where I should put the script so others do not need to make the same thing? - Tim Young
