loan availability of damaged items
by Pablo Bianchi 19 Mar '15

19 Mar '15

Hi Giuseppe, I notice the same, when item has authorized value different from 0 on subfield $4 (DAMAGE category), opac details doesn't say "Available", only "Item damaged", even you still can check it out. This is probably a bug. I found (for English) on /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap */en/*includes/item-status.inc, on line 2: * [% SET itemavailable = 1 %]* on line 70: [% IF ( item.damaged ) %] * [% SET itemavailable = 0 %]* [% av_lib_include = AuthorisedValues.GetByCode( 'DAMAGED', item.damaged, 1 ) %] [% IF av_lib_include %] [% av_lib_include %] [% ELSE %] Item damaged [% END %] [% END %] on line 85: * [% IF ( itemavailable ) %]* * Available [% IF ( item.restrictedopac ) %]([% item.restrictedopac %])[% END %]* * [% END %]* so just change (for each lang code) on line 71 the "0" to "1" (or remove it), to tell Koha that damaged does not imply unavailable. Maybe Koha should let you define exactly which situations imply item is unavailable/not_for_loan.

Calling for volunteers to join the sub-committee for the Koha Fund!
by Brendan Gallagher 19 Mar '15

19 Mar '15

Please excuse the cross-posting... (Please share this with others beyond these two lists - Thank you kindly) Calling for volunteers to join the sub-committee for the Koha Fund! What I propose is that those that volunteer for the sub-committee would volunteer for a 1 year term. *Immediate responsibilities* would include creating the "by-laws" that the sub-committee would act by. This would include taking the lead on creating a document (in an open forum) that would be presented to the Koha community for a vote of acceptance, at least one week before the next general meeting (7 days). Allowing for time for comments on the document and others to read the document, so that the document could be adjusted and corrected in time for a vote at the general meeting. **One note here is that if there is a bylaw that would potentially exclude one of the original volunteering sub-committee members (who knows right), that they would willingly step-down once the by-laws are completed (OR is that really a worry and we just really need to make sure we have enough volunteers to get a committee?)** Once the "by-laws" have been accepted by a majority vote in a general meeting, then the original volunteer members, would serve the rest of the year as part of the sub-committee for the Koha-fund. The main purpose of the sub-committee is to creatively raise money for Koha to be spent on Koha (most likely to begin money would be spent on sign-offs, QA-time, bugzilla maintenance cleaning, for example right now we have 26 critical bugs with no patch (so do those really need a patch or does bugzilla really need to be cleaned up?) ). So those that are interested in joining this to help make the bylaws so this is a successful venture and then being an active advocate for the Fund - please join up. You do not need to be a developer or anything close to that. I propose that we leave the volunteering open until 1 week before the next general meeting which is 8 April 2015 at 19:00 UTC. That should give people enough time to add their names here --> http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Fundraising ... Look at the Fundraising Committee section for a place. Then at the general meeting April 8th we can vote on the names present and then move forward. So Dates... Starting now, until April 1st ---> people place their names on the wiki list for being a potential volunteer for the sub-committee (I would also be willing to keep this open until April 7th if others agree to that) April 1st to April 8th --> Community has a chance to review the names on their own time and be prepared for voting at the general meeting. April 8th - Sub-committee volunteers are confirmed... Please don't hesitate to ask any question at all, the more we have before we vote on April 8th the better and more prepared everyone will be! (no surprises) Cheers and Thank much, Brendan Gallagher (bag) -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brendan A.

Help 404 File Not Found / Files Missing
by Greg Ashe 18 Mar '15

18 Mar '15

Hi there All of a sudden we are getting 404 Not Found error when we try to access Koha catalog or log in as librarian? I have rebooted the server. The Apache webserver is running. However the only file in the /var/www directory is index.html with the content "It Works - the web server software is runnning but no content has been added yet". The virtual webservers point to /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs and /usr/share/koha/intranet/htdocs BUT when I examine via File Manager there is no koha directory in /usr/share?? No changes have been made apart from applying Ubuntu updates via Webmin as these are released. Has anyone experienced this behaviour before? And how do I get up and running again? -- Gregory Ashe IT Manager Glenstal Abbey Murroe Co Limerick Tel +353 61 386443 Mob +353 87 2346850 -- Consider the environment. Please only print this email if you really have to.

Koha implementation at libraries affiliated to Kerala State Library Council
by Vimal Kumar V. 18 Mar '15

Koha implementation at libraries affiliated to Kerala State Library Council -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Kerala State Library Council (KSLC) https://www.facebook.com/keralastatelibrarycouncil is an autonomous body under the Higher Education Department of Govt. of Kerala. It is the statutory apex body of public libraries in the state. KSLC is the successor of ‘Kerala Grandhasala Sanghom’ formed by the amalgamation of libraries which were functioning in the erstwhile Travancore, Cochin and Malabar regions in Kerala. KSLC is constituted through a democratic process giving representation to all public libraries in the state and functions as the core of the cultural life of Kerala. The total number of libraries affiliated to the KSLC so far is around 7500. Now, the KSLC is embarking on a programme of computerizing the affiliated public libraries. An expert committee was constituted by KSLC for this purpose. This automation programme is planned to be rolled out in two phases. In the first phase the Koha Open Source Software will be customized in Malayalam and deployed in selected affiliated libraries on the basis of e-readiness. In the second phase there will be a statewide rollout, covering all the affiliated libraries. The vendor for software customization, implementation and training was selected though a two-part national bid process. M/s. Orisys India Consultancy Services (http://orisys.in/ <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Forisys.in%2F&h=9AQEA1GI4&enc=AZN…>) based in Technopark, Thiruvananthapuram came out as the successful bidder. Koha will be customized, installed and maintained in the State Data Centre, and libraries will be able access it through Internet and carry out their day to day activities. This will also ensure that the librarians are free from the burden of server / software maintenance, updation, backup and so on. In the event of Intenet failure, the offline transaction tool will be used to capture the transaction data and will be subsequently transferred to the database once the connection gets restored. Several new features are being provided including interface in Malayalam, option to collect annual (periodical) membership fee subscription etc. After implementation, they will be provided to the Koha Community for the benefit of all Koha users. The training programme for the librarians of the selected libraries was held during 28-Feb to 01-Mar at Thiruvananthapuram. The participants were given intensive hand-on training in using Koha. Shri. Thomson A. J., Librarian, Devagiri College, Kozhikode, and Shri Prasanth MP, Librarian, Chinmaya Institute of Technology, Kannur were the Resource Persons. The inauguration of the automation programme will be held on 20th March 2015. Renowned poet and activist Smt. Sugathakumari will officially launch the programme at a function to be held at Conference Hall, Govt. Guest House, Thycaud, Thiruvananthapuram at 10.00a.m. The customized web-page of KSLC with catalogue is accessible here http://kslc.in/ <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fkslc.in%2F&h=lAQHGAXsX&enc=AZM1y…> To visit the web-page of various libraries please go to the menu ‘Libraries’ and filter using District and then by Taluk. Feedback and comments are always welcome to improve the service. Kindly email to keralaslc(a)gmail.com Thanks and Regards, V.
