Missing lost status in Default framework item record
by Elaine Bradtke 13 Dec '15

13 Dec '15

We're running 3.20.05 I've noticed a few oddities in the Default framework since we've moved to 3.20 (fields we use all the time set to hidden) but this is the strangest one. In the item record (952 $1) The Lost status line is not there. It doesn't display in the editor, the numbering goes from 0-Withdrawn status to 2-Source of classification or shelving scheme Can anyone else confirm this? Or is it possible something corrupted the default framework when we moved from 3.18 to 3.20? The staff is not cataloging in this framework, but there are a few records in the system that are in the default framework. -- Elaine Bradtke Data Wrangler VWML English Folk Dance and Song Society | http://www.efdss.org Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent's Park Road, London NW1 7AY Tel +44 (0) 20 7485 2206 (This number is for the English Folk Dance and Song Society in London, England.

Authority Merge Error (3.22) + Framework error (biblio.biblionumber + biblioitems.biblioitemnumber)
by Craig Butosi 13 Dec '15

13 Dec '15

Hi all, Koha 3.22 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTA 64 (package installation) Part A I just attempted to merge an authority record with another, and received for the first time ever the following error after clicking 'Merge': Software error: Can't call method "data" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/AuthoritiesMarc.pm line 1491. I have never seen this error before, and I don't think I altered any sysprefs that would affect merge authorities from the move from 3.20 --> 3.22. Weird. Part B Also, I serendipitously stumbled upon one framework error after using the MARC framework tester (this is also a new error since upgrading to 3.22). Error output from the test result table is: biblio and biblionumber | The biblio.biblionumber and biblioitems.biblioitemnumber fields be mapped to a MARC subfield, So, I ran the following SQL query: ->USE koha_library2; ->SELECT frameworkcode, tagfield, tagsubfield, kohafield FROM marc_subfield_structure WHERE kohafield in ('biblio.biblionumber', 'biblioitems.biblioitemnumber'); Output is, +---------------+----------+-------------+------------------------------+ | frameworkcode | tagfield | tagsubfield | kohafield | +---------------+----------+-------------+------------------------------+ | | 001 | @ | biblio.biblionumber | | ACQ | 001 | @ | biblio.biblionumber | | BKS | 001 | @ | biblio.biblionumber | | CF | 001 | @ | biblio.biblionumber | | FA | 001 | @ | biblio.biblionumber | | SER | 001 | @ | biblio.biblionumber | | THE | 001 | @ | biblio.biblionumber | | | 999 | d | biblioitems.biblioitemnumber | | ACQ | 999 | d | biblioitems.biblioitemnumber | | BKS | 999 | d | biblioitems.biblioitemnumber | | CF | 999 | d | biblioitems.biblioitemnumber | | FA | 999 | d | biblioitems.biblioitemnumber | | SER | 999 | d | biblioitems.biblioitemnumber | | THE | 999 | d | biblioitems.biblioitemnumber | +---------------+----------+-------------+------------------------------+ Row 5 (FA 001 @ biblio.biblionumber) was non-existent when I first ran the query. What you are seeing is the SQL query after I added this tag to the FA framework, thinking that its absence was the issue. Specifically, I manually added a 001 tag to the FA framework, and replicated the subfield variables from the Default Framework. After saving the former, I ran the framework test again, but the error persists. These might be two very different issues, but I have no idea how to tackle either. Thoughts anyone? Would love to get my authorities module up and running again. Thanks all! Craig Butosi, MA, MLIS, B Mus (Hons.)

Has anything like this idea ever been proposed for Koha? A Netflix-like holds queue that patrons can set up? https://alissadale.wordpress.com/2011/10/03/i-want-a-library-book-queue/ It was suggested on our statewide Tech group, and I was intrigued enough by the idea that I thought I'd inquire...

Salvete! Even though this is not open source, it is free to enter, and I found it to be an excellent example of gamification and education. I also thought it a nice introduction for folks that might be keen to learn a bit more about security. https://holidayhackchallenge.com/#story Cheers, Brooke

Serials and Acquisition
by Rettelbach, Simon 11 Dec '15

11 Dec '15

Hi everybody, our library is new to KoHa and I wonder if somebody can share experience with us on how to best manage orders for serials in the acquisition section. As there is no way in KoHa to duplicate orders to the following year and we want the orders to be placed for all serials so we have them as ordered in the budget tracking, it looks like we have to place them one by one (every year)... Any best practice advice that works easier?

Problem with BarcodeFallbackSearch
by Nombre 11 Dec '15

11 Dec '15

Hello all. I'm testing checkouts and returns. I have configured itemBarcodeFallbackSearch parameter as enabled. I've tested for chekouts and runs well: if I type the title instead of barcode I get a button with the title and barcode to select. But for returns it seems doesn't work: the only way to select the item is typing the barcode. Shouldn't be the correct behaviour to show a list of items when I type the title or author? Regards and thanks in adanced
