Item Lost Status not showing in Editor
by Bob Birchall 23 Nov '15

23 Nov '15

At least in 3.18.08, in the Default Marc Framework definition for items.itemlost (952$1) the Visibility constraint shows Editor as unchecked. We believe this is a change from previous. Can anyone confirm and/or suggest a reason? Its the same in a 3.20.5 that I just checked. Bob

Disclaimer: I have no experience of an "Oracle Virtual-Box" You say it's on "your" server, I assume inside your building, with either WiFi or hard-wired connectivity. You don't say whether you're using Apache 2.2 or 2.4, but both should work if you just set up suitably enabled "sites" (more or less mirrors of what is already working for you "publicly") with internal addresses (either name- or IP-based.) This is a little outside the scope of Koha, and depending on your level of comfort, you might be well advised to have an IT specialist with networking experience set it up for you. As a data point, our OPAC is "public" <http://opac.navalmarinearchive.com>, but *all* our internal connections (cataloguers, staff, visitors, kiosks) use a local connection -- it's totally transparent, same servers, same database, just doesn't go half way round the world on public wires...

Koha Networking issues
by Ken K 23 Nov '15

23 Nov '15

Hello, I'm a librarian in a public library and we recently installed koha in the library server via a virtual machine using Oracle Virtual-Box and assigned it a pubic IP, to enable worldwide access of the opac. However, there has been a lot of Internet fluctuations in the library which has been inconveniencing the circulation of books making the library staffs to make use of offline circulation in the busy library. I was asking whether there is a way to enable private IP inside the organization local network to be used as a fallback network when the Internet is lost. Kindly assist

OPAC not allowed to put a hold if a book is still a shelf
by Tim Koop 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Does anybody know if it is possible to not allow a patron on the OPAC site to put a hold on a book if there is still a book on a shelf? And a similar question, what if someone does that? What if someone logs in to the OPAC and puts a hold a book that is not taken out? Does the librarian get an email saying to go quickly snatch that book? Or is the next person who tries to take this book out not allowed to? We would prefer to not even allow this case. We want to just disallow it. Thanks -- Tim
