Sorting Search Results for Arabic titles... Koha 3.14...
by Layale Bassil 29 Nov '16

29 Nov '16

Hello All, We are currently using Koha 3.14 and we have imported around 2000 records to Koha which have Arabic and transliterated titles. I have two questions: 1- When searching, the results are not sorted correctly if I select sort by Title (A-Z). I found 3 links online related to this topic: https://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2016-July/045731.html and this: http://lists.indexdata.dk/pipermail/zebralist/2015-March/002610.html and this: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.misc.koha/19912/match=cyrillic+title. But I could not make it work for me. The search results are not being consistent. How does the sorting work? What is it sorting by when I select Title (A-Z)? 2- I need to tell Zebra to search only in 245 subfields a and b! I don't want it to search in 245 subfield c (Statement of responsibility) because it is returning irrelevant results. How can I specify only subfields a and b for the search by title? Thank you so much. Regards.

Callnumber and barcode field in holds tab of the Patrons module
by schnydszch 29 Nov '16

29 Nov '16

Hi all! I was trying to find where in system preference or elsewhere are the barcodes and callnumbers in holds tab of the patrons module are controlled so that they show up in the holds tab. With the current version (16.05) as well as in 3.18 it does not show. I was told previously this does show. Please see attached image below. Does anybody know what to do in order that the barcode and callnumber will be shown in the holds tab of the patrons module? <http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/file/n5911632/patron_holds_callnumber_bar…> Thanks in advance and appreciate any inputs on this. -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Callnumber-and-barcode-field-in-holds-tab… Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Linking subject authority records to 650 via MarcEdit?
by Craig Butosi 28 Nov '16

28 Nov '16

Hi Brain Trust, Koha 16.05.03 on Ubuntu 14.04 (package install) I am seeking advice for the following: Problem: 650 field text in bib records are not linked to Koha authorities database (via $9), but the text itself has been validated against LCSH (using OpenRefine). In other words, the text is in its authorized form, just not linked to its auth record. Solution: Link 650 field data with its extant authority using MarcEdit Process: 1. Run a Koha report to extract biblionumbers from records based on some Subject (i.e., "Symphonies") 2. Import these records from Koha into MarcEdit using the batch search function on "Record Number" (upload a plain-text file with biblionumbers only) 3. Check that 650 data is in its authorized form. 4. Append a $9 subfield with the appropriate RLIN number to the batch (i.e., 650 //$aSymphonies --> 650 //$aSymphonies $917) 5. Upload batch back into Koha db. Questions: 1. Have any of you linked authority records to controlled variable fields using this method? 2. Is there anything I am missing? 3. Is this an utterly dangerous and careless way to be linking controlled fields to the Koha authorities db? Thank you! C Craig Butosi, MA, MLIS, B Mus (Hons.)

Koha 16.11.00 Debian package released
by Mirko Tietgen 28 Nov '16

28 Nov '16

Hello everyone, the Debian package for Koha, koha-common 16.11.00, is now available from the community repository. Please note that with the new release, the codename/version relationship shifts to stable 16.11 oldstable 16.05 Koha 3.22 is still maintained, but there won't be new Debian packages for this branch an longer. Koha 16.11 requires Debian Jessie. Debian Wheezy is not supported any longer. The same goes for future versions of Koha 16.05. We still have problems with Koha and MySQL 5.7. If you want to run Koha 16.11 on Ubuntu, you will probably have the best experience with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and MariaDB instead of MySQL 5.7. If you are running Koha 16.05 now and want to stay on this branch, please make sure to change your apt configuration to use the oldstable branch. To upgrade to Koha 16.11, use stable in your apt configuration and do apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get dist-upgrade Please report any bugs you may encounter to http://bugs.koha-community.org/ Cheers, Mirko -- Mirko Tietgen mirko(a)abunchofthings.net http://koha.abunchofthings.net http://meinkoha.de

Fines + An Older Koha
by Samuel Crawford 28 Nov '16

28 Nov '16

Hi, Koha Community! We currently seem to be having a slight issue with our (older) version of Koha (3.14.11) re: fines. It seems that the system has stopped (or is not properly) collecting and recording our patrons' overdue fines. Books that are well over 10 days late are turned in, but there is no accumulated fine found under the patron's name. There is mention of a "grace period" in global system preferences, but I can't figure out to what that is currently set in our system, and/or how to change it. Can anyone tell me where I might go in this version of Koha to ensure fines are being accurately calculated?

Manual locations?
by Mark Alexander 24 Nov '16

24 Nov '16

Hi all, I'm not able to find the 16.05 (English) manual. It used to be here: http://translate.koha-community.org/manual/16.05/en/ I don't see it here either: http://translate.koha-community.org/manual/ I took a look at the new Sphinx-ified manual, but it doesn't seem quite ready yet. (I was looking specifically for the OverDrive paragraphs of the Enhanced Content section.) Is there a new location for the older manuals? Thanks, Mark
