Editor forcing Default fields into other frameworks
by Elaine Bradtke 19 Nov '15

19 Nov '15

I don't know if this is a new quirk, or I just haven't noticed it before. I was looking at a bibliogrpahic record that was in the wrong framework (Default, when it should have been Serials). I switched the view to Serials framework and it looked fine. Then I opened the record for editing. It switched back to the Default framework, and added some fields we don't use in serials. One of these is marked as required. I changed the framework back to serials, and tried to save it, but the required field from the Default framework (blank because there is no information to go in this field for Serials) caused it to throw up an error message and it would not save. I can't delete the field either. This means I can't change the framework associated with the record. Testing it with other items -Editing any record that is in the Default framework will force (empty) Default framework fields into the record even after you change the framework. There is no information in these fields in the original record. If the field is mandatory in Default it will become mandatory in the new framework, even if it doesn't actually exist in that framework. Any thoughts? Should I file a bug? I am (only just) restraining myself from turning off the mandatory status of the field in the Default framework, only because we're not supposed to edit it. -- 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.

Best way to catalog serials
by Nombre 19 Nov '15

19 Nov '15

Hello all. I'm starting to catalog some serials we have, some of it are discontinued, by the moment I'm making a bibliographic record and one item record for each issue of the serial we have. Now, I'm not sure if this is the best way and if is better to have a bibliographic record for each issue. How do you catalog this kind of serials? Regards and thanks in advanced

Repost: Call for KohaCon17 hosting proposals

I'm reposting this because it was missent using the Reply button to http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/How-to-get-dynamic-IP-for-my-koha-server-… - please use New Message if it's not a Reply, else the robots can't find the kittens and they get hurt! from: ★ Thomas Dukleth <kohalist(a)agogme.com> date: Wed, 18 Nov 2015 11:24:00 -0000 Anyone who would like to host KohaCon17 (international Koha conference to be held in 2017) should add some brief information about their proposal to the proposals summary table in the page on the Koha Wiki which I have prepared following the model used for previous KohaCons, http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon17_Proposals . Please link your summary proposal to a more detailed proposal preferably in a new page on the Koha wiki or alternately hosted on your own webserver. If you have submitted a proposal for hosting KohaCon in the past but had not been selected, please submit a new proposal if you are interested in hosting KohaCon17. Do not be discouraged that some other proposal had been selected over yours in some previous year. People from the Philippenes had again submitted a KohaCon proposal before the general KohaCon17 page was created and I have now moved that merely tabular form content which had used the form of the general KohaCon proposals page to the newly created general KohaCon17 Proposals page. Such persistence of pursuing a KohaCon proposal should be encouraged. [In the interest of promoting regional diversity in Koha, we have sometimes considered rules against selecting KohaCon proposals from the same region successively in case the most populous regions might come to excessively dominate voting for selecting a proposal, but in practise such rules may not have yet been necessary.] Anyone should be free to add additional relevant information to proposal information in the wiki, such as links and information for local hotel or other accommodations, attractions, etc. We want whatever information may be helpful for linking to a community wide ballot for selecting a particular proposal. As with all wiki content, it should be easy enough to edit by examining the form in which pre-existing content has been entered, when editing to add your own content. If you want more information about MediaWiki tables, see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tables .

Is your Ubuntu 12.04 using Apache 2.2, or have you upgraded that to 2.4? Why have you enabled [repetitive?] ".save" and ".backup" conf files?

Re: [Koha] [Koha-devel] Getting an IP address for a koha server
by Mark Tompsett 17 Nov '15

17 Nov '15

Greetings, If this is a local network, then you have access to your router. Depending on your router’s model and make, you can configure it to always give the same IP address to a particular MAC address (the address of your machine’s NIC (ethernet card)). Beyond that suggestion, I can’t help you. GPML, Mark Tompsett
