batch upload patron images

Hi all! Can somebody know the explanation to this error log below when batch uploading patron images in Koha ILS: "AH02429: Response header name ' inflating' contains invalid characters, aborting request, referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/tools/picture-upload.pl" This seem apache-ish, I am getting Error 500 after the upload, and the error log is above. Tried with bywaters demo and was able to upload the two images in the zip file. Koha version 16.11.09.000, Debian jessie 8, Apache 2.4.10. Thanks in advance and have a nice day! -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/batch-upload-patron-images-tp5938950.html Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Independent branches
by Elaine Bradtke 29 Jun '17

29 Jun '17

We're looking into adding an independent branch to our instance of Koha (16.11) - a completely separate library with different circulation rules, opening hours and etc. Looking at this in the manual makes me wonder if we're going to run into trouble. Has anyone added an independent branch years after going live? 1.2.4.2. IndependentBranches <http://manual.koha-community.org/16.11/en/administration.html#IndependentBr…> . . . . . Description: - This preference should only be used by library systems which are sharing a single Koha installation among multiple branches but are considered independent organizations, meaning they do not share material or patrons with other branches and do not plan to change that in the future. If set to 'Prevent' it increases the security between library branches by: prohibiting staff users from logging into another branch from within the staff client, filtering out patrons from patron searches who are not a part of the login branch conducting the search, limiting the location choices to the login branch when adding or modifying an item record, preventing users from other branch locations from placing holds or checking out materials from library branches other than their own, and preventing staff from editing item records which belong to other library branches. All of these security safeguards can be overridden only by the superlibrarian, the highest level of privileges. Important It is important that this value be set before going live and that it NOT be changed -- Elaine Bradtke VWML English Folk Dance and Song Society | http://www.efdss.org Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent's Park Road, London NW1 7AY Tel +44 (0) 20 7485 2206 (This number is for the English Folk Dance and Song Society in London, England.

by Erlanda Simonyan 29 Jun '17

29 Jun '17

Dear List, We imported a butch of bibs & a butch of authorities from koha 3.18.05 to koha 17.05, after using link_bibs_to_authorities.pl we have got such results Number of bibs checked: 5817 Number of bibs modified: 5701 Number of headings linked: 8406 Number of headings unlinked: 24019 Number of headings fuzzily linked: 0 BUT it isn't link correctly all headings, all authorities with the same "surname" but other "name" were linked together.(EX.: Abrahamyan Suren , Abrahamyan Armen, Abrahamyan Karen link to Abrahamyan Suren) So koha find only" Surname" for matching and link them. Pls help to solve this problem. Thanks, Erlanda

Serials: Irregularities
by Marcel de Rooy 29 Jun '17

29 Jun '17

Hi all, This is a paste from bug 17656: == The current irregularity feature works with saving internal fictive issue numbers in a text field irregularity. If you edited/shifted some dates in serial collection, you might be surprised what happens. You cannot view the saved irregularities in serial collection (I only see e.g. 2 issues on the Planning tab); they are only visible when editing the subscription and looking at the prediction pattern again. Bug 18365<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18365> and friends made it easier to handle discrepancies in the schedule. An occasional irregularity could be resolved that way. Would it be useful to define recurring irregularities in terms of the serial frequency chosen? If it is month, we could allow the user to select one or more months to skip? Same for weeks or days. (Year seems less interesting.) Doing this would replace selection of irregulars in the prediction pattern. If so, how should we handle 'special' frequencies like 1 per 3 months or 3 per month btw? Skip all in e.g. July or refine with skip second in July etc.? It seems to me that we should make the irregularity info more visible to the user too on Serial collection form. == If you are working on serials and have some thoughts about this, please share them on the Bugzilla report. https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17656 Thanks, Marcel

Dear All, We are moving to Koha - very soon - but have discovered that there is an issue with our admittedly very old self service station and it's communication with Koha, as it is on the fabulous Vista operating system. This means it's trying to communicate with Koha using http and plain text... Consequently, we were wondering if anyone in Kohaland has come across this issue and if you were able to work around it, and how? Many thanks in advance! Yours, Niamh Walker-Headon BA, MSc LIS, ALAI.
