Extending loan times for a subset of users
by City & Guilds of London Art School Admin 17 Jun '24

17 Jun '24

Hello, I have read through the db schema and documentation and suspect what I'd like to do isn't possible, but thought I would cover all bases by asking here: Suppose we have a 1st year BA student on course X, they belong to category BAX1, along with all other 1st year BA's on that course. Now suppose that same student has registered as dyslexic, which means we want to give them a longer loan period for all items as the default. Is there a way of doing that *without* moving them into a different category? Thanks, all the best, Chris

Re: [Koha] Database increment error returned 23.11
by Christina Fairlamb 17 Jun '24

Thanks Katrin, We are two different libraries, I added my voice to the ring for if more than one user is facing the same problem it might become a bigger issue affecting many. My versions: 10.5.23-MariaDB Koha 23.11.05 I ran through the whole process again anyhow. I implemented the script and tested it all out as advised, the new items are getting new numbers. The solution works just as it did way back when. Most concerning to me is that this reoccurred despite implementing the fix a long time ago (I can't remember which version at this point) and having a later version of MariaDB. The error only flagged after a major upgrade, no issues were raised in the normal cataloguing activities of the library nor caught in the corrupted data report that gets run occasionally. Christina

Re: [Koha] 500 internal server error - only in one category (Caroline Cyr La Rose)

I've seen this error appear when you have a malformed xml meta structure in the biblio meta data. If you are adept, or someone in your department is adept with sql, find the offending biblionumber and extract the xml, paste it into any online free xml validator. You'll find out real quick if it's the xml or not.

Our upgrades to 22.05 are a bit far in my memory, but I remember at one point there was a problem with dates in the patron file being 0000-00-00. This resulted in error 500 during a patron search. You can try select date_renewed,dateofbirth,dateenrolled,dateexpiry,lastseen,updated_on,debarred from borrowers where date_renewed = '0000-00-00' or dateexpiry = '0000-00-00' or dateenrolled = '0000-00-00' or dateofbirth = '0000-00-00' or lastseen = '0000-00-00' or updated_on = '0000-00-00' or debarred = '0000-00-00'; Regards, Caroline On 2024-06-11 13:40, Scott Owen wrote: > Hi All, > > I just upgraded to Koha > Koha version: 22.05.21.000 > and imported sql data from a older system ( 20.05.15.001 ) > > The catalog looks fine, as well as my "Board" "Staff" and "Teacher" > categories. > > However, whenever I select my "Student" category, and try a search in the > left leaving the "search" blank and just searching for the Student Category > , I get a "Something went wrong loading the table 500 internal Server > error" > > Trying to browse by last names gives the same "500 internal Server error" > error. > > If I try typing in a last name, it seems to work, and will bring up a list > of names. > > I already tried exporting a 2nd DB dump and importing it clean...same issue. > > Any idea where to start ??

500 internal server error - only in one category
by Scott Owen 13 Jun '24

13 Jun '24

Hi All, I just upgraded to Koha Koha version: 22.05.21.000 and imported sql data from a older system ( 20.05.15.001 ) The catalog looks fine, as well as my "Board" "Staff" and "Teacher" categories. However, whenever I select my "Student" category, and try a search in the left leaving the "search" blank and just searching for the Student Category , I get a "Something went wrong loading the table 500 internal Server error" Trying to browse by last names gives the same "500 internal Server error" error. If I try typing in a last name, it seems to work, and will bring up a list of names. I already tried exporting a 2nd DB dump and importing it clean...same issue. Any idea where to start ?? It seems like the data is good, it seems like it's all there. but it's not being sorted / indexed correctly ? I tried looking in log files, but I really didn't see much . -S
