Show analytics
by Hugo Agud 17 Jan '16

17 Jan '16

Good morning we have found a strange behaviour of show analytics in Koha, checking the code it seems that OPAC shows the link 'Show analytics" based on position leader 7 = s In fact that position shows define the record as is a serial, but it can include analytics or not. For other instances we have modified the code to check another field, one used when we add some analytics to the record, but it is a little weird. I wish to ask you how other sites are mananing the link to analytics from the hosting record, let koha shows always the link? or have you got any tip to show only if analytics are catalogued. We have checked this behaviour in version 3.14.7 and in 3.22.x, I guess it is in all versions of koha. Thanks you in advance Hugo -- *Hugo Agud - Orex Digital * *www.orex.es <http://www.orex.es>* <http://www.orex.es/> [image: http://orex.es] <http://orex.es> <http://www.orex.es> Director Passatge de la Llançadera, 3 · 08338 Premià de Dalt - Tel: 93 539 40 70 hagud(a)orex.es · http://www.orex.es/ No imprima este mensaje a no ser que sea necesario.

This helps to delurk some insidious errors. Uncaught exception from user code: Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2/Koha/Contrib/Tamil/Authority/FromBiblioTask.pm line 58.

We're at version 3.18 and the previous version was at least two years old, but I didn't note it down. The About page show this error: Zebra server seems not to be available. Is it started? When I re-index I get these errors: .error retrieving biblio 314 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679. .error retrieving biblio 315 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679. .error retrieving biblio 316 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679. .error retrieving biblio 317 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679. .error retrieving biblio 318 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679. .error retrieving biblio 319 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679. .error retrieving biblio 320 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679. .error retrieving biblio 321 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679. .error retrieving biblio 322 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679. .error retrieving biblio 323 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679. .error retrieving biblio 324 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679. .error retrieving biblio 325 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679. .error retrieving biblio 326 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679. .error retrieving biblio 327 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 679.

Import Question
by Shell, Lezlie 15 Jan '16

15 Jan '16

I have a question about batchImportMARCWithBiblionumbers.pl I found a reference to this in a 2010 email. The scenario described, a library needing to retain their current control numbers as biblionumbers to continue connecting to outside databases, is the same thing we need to do. Unfortunately, I didn't see an answer to the question. The description of the script, "small script to import an iso2709 file into Koha with existing biblionumbers in marc record" made me wonder if I was importing a marc file into a clean database, if I had our current control number in the 001, if this script would use this value as the biblionumber. I know there are a lot of "ifs", but am I on the right track? Thanks, Lezlie Questia
