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

MRC file import for the second time
by Scott Owen 27 Sep '16

27 Sep '16

Hi all, It seems that one of my people has somehow managed to remove a number of books (items) from our collection. We now have a pile of books in which the barcode does not show up in any type of catalog search. The marc record for the item is still in the system, but the item seems to have been removed I have preformed an SQL export of the entire collection, and the barcodes don't show up there either..... It seems to be pretty random, and I am not seeing any type of pattern... I have no idea what the person using the system did..... (my best guess is that they somehow messed up a MRC record stage / import...) However.....luckily, this was a system upgrade that is only a few weeks old, so I have a MRC file that includes the entire collection (including the missing items / barcodes). They have only added a few items to the collection, so they should be able to (fairly) easily add those items back in.... My thoughts are to go into "staged marc record mgmt." and remove the initial MARC import.....the *should* remove every item from the collection.... Then... import the MRC file that includes the entire collection..... (including the missing items) back into the system. Unless there is a better way ?? Thank you, -Scott Owen
