Koha web services API
by Hartman, David W. - Tech Library 07 Apr '15

Does Koha has a web service API that enables check-out and check-in? I want to write a macro to automate checkins and checkouts without writing direct to the database. David W.

adding patrons in a batch - getting errors
by ChristyThomas 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Hi, We (my mom) are trying to add student patrons in batches. She made an excel file following the Koha instructions. She is getting errors. Do you have any suggestions or possibly do you have a template that you know works that you can send me. Here are her emails describing what happened: FIRST EMAIL: One attempt, nothing imported. Said something not expected format which almost certainly means phone numbers or dates. I'm going to have to play around a little to determine what is hanging it up... perhaps later tonight. SECOND EMAIL: I took it down to only names and the required codes and it still wouldn't load. The error messages are below. It appears it doesn't like my header row, which I copied from their instructions. Says it could not be parsed. I searched on that error message and I appear to be not the only one who has this problem, and they system does not think that it is a csv, but tab separated. I'm going to work on it tomorrow on a break and try a couple other ways to see if I can find a way for it to be a csv file that system recognizes. xoxo Mom Feedback: Parsing upload file Library1.csv Content-Disposition : form-data; name="uploadborrowers"; filename="Library1.csv" Content-Type : application/vnd.ms-excel headerrow : Error analysis: Header row could not be parsed Thanks, Christy -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/adding-patrons-in-a-batch-getting-errors-… Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Patron Card Creator - pdf file not readable
by ChristyThomas 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Hi, I exported a batch with a template and layout I created. It created a pdf file for me to print. None of my programs can read it, illustrator, mac preview, photoshop, word, or my internet browser. Is this the only way to make cards is to export in the batch window? Do you have any ideas what could be wrong? I have to make 300 cards for a school. It would be nice if the batch function worked. Thanks so much for any advice!

2of5 Barcodes Not Rendering
by Allen Odden 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Hello everyone, After getting the system set up and playing around with the label generator to see which ones we would prefer to use, we ran into some issues with a few of the barcode types. The 2of5 types, both industrial and coop, do not seem to be rendering properly on the .pdfs. Has anyone else had issues with these formats, or are we missing something obvious? For our system, we could just use one of the other formats, but I'd like to know what's going on with these labels.

Koha and fees
by Tim Young 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

Hi, I am helping some people set up Koha. I am not very familiar with it, and I thought a quick email might save me a lot of head-scratching... We have a bunch of research books which are set up to be of type "short-term loan". We have a rule where they are checked out for 2 hours, and start to get fined for every hour after those two hours. At the end of the day, however, we are OK with students checking these books out overnight and returning them first thing in the morning. The problem is that they have ammassed a lot of fines by then, since they are long past their due-time. Is there a way for us to either have time-based rules, or select between two different rule-sets at checkout? Or is there some other approach that we can use so that we can set up a policy of that nature? - Tim Young
