Will it happen that after converting CSV to marc, and importing to koha, no of items will be less than no of records. Eg in my import the number of records comes in the 7000 range, but the number of items comes in the 5000 range.

Call for KohaCon18 hosting proposals
by Thomas Dukleth 01 Feb '17

01 Feb '17

Anyone who would like to host KohaCon18 (international Koha conference to be held in 2018) should add some brief information about their proposal to the proposals summary table in the page on the Koha Wiki which I have prepared following the model used for previous KohaCons, http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon18_Proposals . Please link your summary proposal to a more detailed proposal preferably in a new page on the Koha wiki or alternately hosted on your own webserver. If you have submitted a proposal for hosting KohaCon in the past but had not been selected, please submit a new proposal if you are interested in hosting KohaCon18. Do not be discouraged that some other proposal had been selected over yours in some previous year. [In the interest of promoting regional diversity in Koha, we have rules against selecting KohaCon proposals from the same contintent within three years in case the most populous regions might come to excessively dominate voting for selecting a proposal. The rule would be set aside for a particular year if no proposal from a different continent has been introduced.] Anyone should be free to add additional relevant information to proposal information in the wiki, such as links and information for local hotel or other accommodations, attractions, etc. We want whatever information may be helpful for linking to a community wide ballot for selecting a particular proposal. As with all wiki content, it should be easy enough to edit by examining the form in which pre-existing content has been entered, when editing to add your own content. If you want more information about MediaWiki tables, see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tables .

Re: [Koha] Hosting options for Koha installation
by Mahesh Angadi 01 Feb '17

01 Feb '17

Dear Friends, When we go for koha hosting on VPS, it is preferable to choose KVM based hosting services. For eg. Digital Ocean as suggested by Fred King. KVM based hosting allows you to create your own snapshots and backup. Further, few hosting provider also allows you to mount your own custom iso. In that case, you can host your preferable live dvds in the form of custom iso or your previously configured systems snapshot over there. Usually, the file size limit for custom iso is 2 GB. Nowadays prices of VPS are getting cheaper due to huge competition and from my personal experience I can tell that VPS hiring is highly cost effective as well as convenient. However, make sure that, you choose this option only when you are conversant with the linux system administration part or at least you have a technical expert with you to help over it.

Customizing self service to display title
by Krishna K 01 Feb '17

01 Feb '17

Hi, In the Self Service section of koha the standard procedure is to scan the barcode of the item in order for the item to be issued. We would like to customize it such that when the user scans the barcode of the item to be issued, a popup appears showing the title of the book. We would like to call the koha perl script within koha like opac-detail.pl to get the tittle by passing the barcode as an input. Has anyone done something similar before ? Any help on how to do this will be most welcome. -- Regards, Krishna

I got an internal server error while checking out a reserved item to a patron.

Hosting options for Koha installation
by Andreas Resch 31 Jan '17

31 Jan '17

Dear Community, I am a librarian from Vienna, Austria and I would like to install Koha for the library of my cultural association. As it is a small association we have no institutional backing and therefore no IT team. I tried to install Koha on the server of my website but I have no root access. I asked at the hosting company and they said they don't offer root access. After some research I found providers offering "root servers" or "managed servers" which are a little costly (about € 30,- a month). It would be great if you could share your experiences on which hosting is best. Specifically my questions are: - Are there any recommended hosting companies and products? It would be best if they were in Austria or Germany but also abroad ist ok. - If I get a root server will I be able to install it only with the Installation instructions? I am proficient with the command line and I already installed and set up Koha on a "virtual machine". - Is there a better/easier way? Your help would be greatly appreciated! All the best from Vienna, Andreas

Fwd: [Koha-translate] Help Manual translation help - script to generate
by Francois Charbonnier 31 Jan '17

31 Jan '17

Hello all, Chris gave me indications to understand how the translation of the manual will work for 16.11. I don't fully understand how it works. But, right now I'm working on 16.05. The process is different and I want to be able to generate the manual the way we have it in the /html-desktop, /html and /pdf folders (http://translate.koha-community.org/manual/16.05/fr-CA/) I'm sure there is a script somewhere to automate the generation for every langage on pootle. And there is a probably a gitted stylesheet somewhere as well. Does anyone know where all this is ? As soon I have the information, I will update the wiki. I think it help the translator to be able to generate locally the manuel they are translating! Thanks a lot! -------- Message transféré -------- Sujet : [Koha-translate] Manual translation - scripts Date : Tue, 24 Jan 2017 08:00:50 -0500 De : Francois Charbonnier <francois.charbonnier(a)inlibro.com> Pour : Koha-org - Translate list <koha-translate(a)lists.koha-community.org> Hello, Lately, I worked on the documentation translation for 16.05 (fr-CA). To check the results, I tried to generate the html the version. I haven't found any documentation to get what we have right now in the /html-desktop, /html and /pdf folders. I have been able to generate the manual.html we used to have before. But, I can't retreive all the translations I've worked ono. Some chains stay untranslated but they are in my po files... Could someone give me the indications to translate properly the manual offline ? I will update the wiki with these indications! :^) Thanks a lot!
