the definition of AllowOnShelfHolds?
by justin fang 08 May '15

I have a question regarding the option "AllowOnShelfHolds". With the option, we will able to disallow hold requests to be placed on items that are not checked out. But in case of multiple items for one record, the rule seems not work. For example, we have 3 items for one record, one of the 3 items was checkout. User will be able place a hold on the item even 2 of them are not checkouted. Is this correct behavior? Thanks, Justin

Patron Import Documentation
by Nicole Engard 07 May '15

07 May '15

Hi all, The patron import documentation appears to be out of date: http://translate.koha-community.org/manual/3.18/en/html-desktop/#patronimpo… I have some questions though. 1. Where do patron attributes go? They aren't in the notes on the side anymore 2. Since userid has to be unique do you have to fill it in - I would assume 2 blanks would be 'not unique' 3. What if I have borrowernumbers? It looks like you can't import them anymore - and if you see the note in the manual you used to be able to 4. Do you see anything else wrong with the documentation? Thanks Nicole

Configuration of database and fields in Koha.
by Jesse Lambertson 06 May '15

06 May '15

Hello everyone, We are moving ever so close to our Koha installation and other web components. Things take longer than you think they will. I need to clarify a few more things for our IT & web people. Context: We will be hosting locally our instance on Debian Wheezy (with LAMP of course) and integrating the search functionality into our institutional library page as well as have a fully operational front-end to Koha by itself. 1. (a multi-part) Will we need to configure anything about the database (mysql) or turn-on/turn-off any functions in Koha before it goes live? I mean, will we need to arrange or configure any MARC specific fields in the database or will that all be set up with the installation itself (do we need to do any mapping of MARC fields to the database or will that be maintained by the routine of indexing over time?) - - 2. Are things like ISBD and MARC view, aesthetics of the OPAC and any links or images added to its front-facing portion all switched on in the admin client? 3. The varied plug-ins found of Koha instances in special and public libraries show the types of uses and discovery possibilities in the front-end of Koha. Are these plug-ins mostly added or appended in the directories or are they added via the admin client? Please don't hesitate to ask for clarification if needs be. Thanks a bunch, Jesse -- Jesse A Lambertson Librarian Sultan Qaboos Cultural Center 1100 16th St, NW Washington, DC 20036 Ph: (202)-677-3967 Ext. 104 jlambertson(a)sqcc.org
