Koha + Email Relay to Microsoft Exchange Server
by Craig Butosi 01 Oct '16

01 Oct '16

Hi all, Koha 16.05.03 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Amazon AWS) We're running Koha on a separate VPS from our organization's network. We are using a our library's generic email address, which is a Microsoft Exchange server organization email address. We are trying to get our Koha VPS to successfully deliver notices to emails within our network domain. We are running Sendmail on our Koha box, and Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail accounts (after users whitelist our library email address) emails are being received successfully. Emails are not successfully delivered to our organization's email domain. What we want to do is channel all email notifications coming from our Koha VPS through our Microsoft Exchange server, so that they are seen as coming from our network, do not get flagged as spam, junk, etc., and so that they are successfully delivered to inboxes. Has anyone done this with their Koha set-up? Is this a sendmail config file modification, a sendmail Perl module configuration, or something else? Thanks all! Craig Butosi, MA, MLIS, B Mus (Hons.)

No patron categories in Munich
by Frans van Koppen 29 Sep '16

29 Sep '16

Dear List I hope this find you well. I am excited to join the Koha sphere! I am writing from Munich (Germany) and joined the list yesterday in view of the task ahead - creating a new catalogue for our institute library. I have little experience and need all the help I can get. Luckily I am not alone in the endeavour: our IT team have set up the Linux server and I will be able to involve professional help when migrating our old Allegro-C records into Koha. Still, some things I would like to do myself but progress instantly fell flat because I could not define patron categories in Koha version 16.05.03.000. I noticed that I am not alone in this predicament (Bugzilla Bug 17069), and read that a solution may be forthcoming after November. I wonder what I should do now. Should I just proceed as the database administrative user, or will that limit what I can do with the programme? Or is there a fix? Benjamin Rokseth proposed one (Bugzilla Bug 17069 Comment 1) but I am unable to replicate this. Did I miss any other easy solution? Thanks for reading this and best wishes from the Octoberfest Frans van Koppen

Re: [Koha] MRC file import for the second time
by Scott Owen 29 Sep '16

29 Sep '16

Hi Gunilla, I did find some info regarding this.... I pulled up "tools" then logs, under modules i selected "catalog" (with "all" actions selected) and then ran the report for the suspected date range.... what I found was some modifications of approx 70 items.... they all had an "info" section something like : Catalog Modify Item 12718 item $VAR1 = { 'biblioitemnumber' => '3514', 'holdingbranch' => 'PINE', 'reserves' => undef, 'itemnotes' => undef, 'uri' => undef, 'itype' => 'BK', 'price' => '17.51', 'renewals' => undef, 'stocknumber' => undef, 'dateaccessioned' => '2016-09-26', 'itemcallnumber' => 'KIB', 'itemnotes_nonpublic' => undef, 'cn_sort' => 'KIB', 'materials' => undef, 'location' => 'FIC', 'biblionumber' => '3514', 'ccode' => 'FIC', 'copynumber' => '3', 'more_subfields_xml' => undef, 'stack' => undef, 'datelastseen' => '2016-09-26', 'booksellerid' => undef, 'withdrawn_on' => undef, 'items.cn_sort' => 'KIB', 'itemlost_on' => undef, 'notforloan' => '0', 'replacementprice' => undef, 'homebranch' => 'PINE', 'onloan' => undef, 'issues' => undef, 'itemlost' => '0', 'damaged' => '0', 'restricted' => undef, 'paidfor' => undef, 'cn_source' => 'ddc', 'barcode' => '75082', 'enumchron' => undef, 'permanent_location' => 'FIC', 'itemnumber' => '12718', 'datelastborrowed' => undef, 'coded_location_qualifier' => undef, 'withdrawn' => '0', 'replacementpricedate' => '2016-09-26' }; I haven't had a chance to check every one of the barcodes...but I'm guessing that these may be my "missing" items....if so...that makes life much easier...at least I know what titles / barcodes are "missing" ...then I just need to fix them.

Koha OAI-PMH item fields
by eugene jose espinoza 29 Sep '16

29 Sep '16

Hi all! With the current version of Koha 16.05 as well as 3.22.x, I've enabled OAI-PMH, identified the archiveID, leave the OAI-PMH ConfFile blank. I see that Koha bug no. 12252 https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12252 enables fetching of item data via the OAI-PMH interface, however when I take a look at the record by issuing /cgi-http://.../bin/koha/oai.pl?verb=GetRecord&metadataPrefix=marcxml&identifier=KOHA-OAI-TEST:3 I don't see 952 field. I searched the Koha community list but I am lead to bug 12252 and 13475. Am I missing something in here? Thanks in advance who can lead me in solving this problem. Cheers!

Not able to change framework when editting biblio record
by Pedro Amorim 29 Sep '16

29 Sep '16

Dear all, I just recently updated our Koha from 3.22 to 16.05 and now we cannot change from whatever framework the record is (editting or creating new one, same behaviour). The following javascript errors are thrown in the console: 1) Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token = jquery.fixFloat.js:6 2) TypeError: $(...).fixFloat is not a function The 1) error is the one causing the problem since 2) is only happening cause of 1). This is a syntax error happening in the js file and this behaviour can be reproduced in the Tamil online public demo (tamil/tamil): https://kpro.tamil.fr/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=1&… Try to change the framework, nothing happens. And the errors in the console are the same as described above and happening in our instance. I rolled the file back to commit 262 as seen at: https://github.com/Koha-Community/Koha/commit/2628fdd8c4f8bb6f5d5d6a8f35646… And now everything is working fine. Why is this happening though? Any thoughts? Thank you, Pedro Amorim
