Mistakes (?) in wiki pages
by Mark Alexander 25 Jan '17

25 Jan '17

What is the standard procedure for reporting possible errors in wiki pages? The reason I ask is that during my attempts to install Koha from (1) Debian packages, and (2) a git development environment, I have run into a small number of commands or config file lines in the wiki pages I used that I had to change. Some examples: In https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian_Jessie_development_setup, I had to change the line: <Directory "/var/koha/Koha"> to: <Directory "/var/koha"> In https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian, I had to change: sudo xmlstarlet sel -t -v 'yazgfs/config/user' /etc/koha/sites/libraryname/koha-conf.xml koha_libraryname sudo xmlstarlet sel -t -v 'yazgfs/config/pass' /etc/koha/sites/libraryname/koha-conf.xml randompasswordtext to: sudo xmlstarlet sel -t -v 'yazgfs/config/user' /etc/koha/sites/libraryname/koha-conf.xml sudo xmlstarlet sel -t -v 'yazgfs/config/pass' /etc/koha/sites/libraryname/koha-conf.xml (i.e., delete the last command line arguments).

Storage engine type pending_offline_operations
by Barry Cannon 25 Jan '17

25 Jan '17

Hi, Does anyone have know why pending_offline_operations is using MyISAM as it's storage engine? It seems to be the only table left using it. It's a small concern when considering database backup procedures - table locking specifically. I see some old bugs relating to this table but nothing specifically discussing the storage engine.

Question about Cities & Towns configuration
by Harold Park 24 Jan '17

24 Jan '17

Hello all, Just started looking into Koha. I've successfully installed it and in the process of configuring it. Question: Is there a way to import data into the Cities and Towns configuration module? Our city has over 100 zip codes. I'd hate to have to enter all of them manually. Please advise. Regards, Harold

Checkout limit by household
by Mark Alexander 23 Jan '17

23 Jan '17

Our library (running Mandarin currently) has a limit of two DVDs per household. Mandarin doesn't enforce this limit; the librarian knows pretty much everybody in this little town and has the data in her head. But we volunteers don't have that brainpower. I have been working on a Koha upgrade for our library for some months, and am pretty close to having everything working. But this household limit has me a bit stumped. For one thing, our patron database is a bit inconsistent, so if we define "household" as being "all borrowers with the same address", we're in trouble because the same address might be spelled several different ways. (For example, Route can be RT or RTE or Rte. or Rt. or Rt) But leaving aside the consistency problem, Koha doesn't seem to have a way to do this kind of check. I can cobble together some SQL that looks like this: select count(issue_id) from issues left join borrowers on issues.borrowernumber = borrowers.borrowernumber left join items on issues.itemnumber = items.itemnumber where borrowers.address = '123 Main Street' and city = 'Podunk' and state = 'VT' and items.itype = 'DVD'; and then check this result against configurable checkout limits for particular item types. This sounds like a fair amount of work in the Koha codebase itself, so I was wondering if anybody else had looked into this and had other ideas.

Erase or hide all records with itemtype "on order"
by lukasz.mesek＠alingsas.se 20 Jan '17

20 Jan '17

Hello, We have a quite big problem in our catalog. Every time we buy books and import records through Z39.50 from national catalog we get like from 2 up to 30 records. All of them have got object attached "on order" automatically. At the moment we have around double the number of records comparing to actual number of items. Is any way to erase them? Is it possible for librarian to do it or must be the IT who can do such a work? Med vänlig hälsning Lukasz Mesek Vuxenbibliotekarie Alingsås bibliotek lukasz.mesek(a)alingsas.se
