490 indicator 1 question
by SYDT - Frank Chou 21 Aug '24

21 Aug '24

Dear All, One of our librarians has brought to our attention that when they set the 490 field with indicator 1 as "1#$aFormosa$v1" in a record, it does not display in the bibliographic detail page as expected. For example, the series title "Formosa;1" does not appear in the expected location: Contributor(s): Xu, Xiuhui Material type: Text Series: <-- "Formosa;1" does not display here when 490 1# is used. However, when the indicator 1 is set to "0," they can see "Formosa;1" displayed in the correct position. Could we be misunderstanding the meaning of "0 - Series not traced"? Please advise.

Problem with 24.05.01 windows stalls with "processing" box
by spazzali＠magritte.it 20 Aug '24

20 Aug '24

Hi everybody we have a Koha 23.11 with it_IT language installed and well running on a Debian 11 system. While doing a ordinary system update (sudo apt get update / sudo apt get upgrade) I'm asked to change repository for Koha-common from 23 to 24. I agreed. The update seems to reach the end without any error and when I log in the version installed is 24.05.01 But trying to open a bibio record from intranet interface a box with the word "Processing..." appears and the windows stalls. I attach a screenshot of the "Processing..." box and the installation log. Koha logs seem clean. If you have any idea it will be very helpful. thanks tommaso

hidden record
by Сычев Игорь Алексеевич 20 Aug '24

20 Aug '24

Hello! How can I hide an record in OPAC? But this record should be available to the librarian. In the previous ILS, it was possible to put "d" (excluded) in the 05 position of leader UNIMARC. For example: <leader>01104dam0 2200277 4500</leader> Good Luck! Igor A. Sychev Tomsk Polytechnic University https://lib.tpu.ru

High CPU usage, slow OPAC/Staff interface, with memcache
by Daniel Owens 19 Aug '24

19 Aug '24

I am running Koha 24.05.03.000 on Ubuntu 24.04 with 8 vCPU cores and 32 GB of RAM. Recently I found that the VPS was running at 100% CPU usage and discovered that memcache was not running. The high CPU usage would cause it to crash. To solve this, I started memcache and confirmed it was running and followed the instructions at https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_Tuning_Guide. It seemed to run better for a short time. But it is back up to 100% usage, which slows it down considerably. When I run top to see what is using the CPU, it shows many opac-search.pl running on many processes. Is that normal? Are there other things I can do to reign in CPU usage? Daniel

by Christopher Davis 16 Aug '24

16 Aug '24

Dear Colleagues, It is good to be back in the Koha Community. Those of you whose libraries have an online subscription to the New York Time newspaper for your patrons- how do you authenticate your patrons to use NYT? I was thinking of using the Koha restricted page which is available at /cgi-bin/koha/opac- restrictedpage.pl. Please do share Thank you, Christopher Davis Technical Services Specialist Lincoln County Library District (541) 264-8141 <5412648141> lincolncolibrarydist.org <https://www.lincolncolibrarydist.org>

Not checked in, not checked out - UI/phrasing question
by Hakulinen, Inkeri J 16 Aug '24

16 Aug '24

Hi! Some time ago there was a minor change in Koha's phrasing, but it is a bit confusing for users. When you check-in an item that was already checked-in earlier (for example by check-in machine), Koha shows you a bit confusing message: "Item was not checked in. Not checked out" But, actually you just did process it through the "check-in", but this message makes you wonder, if something went wrong. I think that earlier this was simply phrased "Not checked out", without the red, bolded phrase that says "Item was not checked in". What's the reason behind this change? Could we just reverse this back or change the phrasing somehow? I think this is not good user interface design, even though it's technically correct, since the item's status did not change here.
