exporting MARC records on mysql conditions
by Giuseppe Angilella 31 Jan '15

31 Jan '15

Hi, the online export tool for bibliographic records allows to select records in a given range of either biblio number, or item call number, or accession date. Would it be possible (perhaps via an off-line script) to select records fulfilling other constraints? (Say, a full mysql "where..." condition.) If not, would it be possible to extract (single) MARC records by off-line invoking export.pl on (single) biblio numbers? (One could have saved a list thereof in an auxiliary file, and then iteratively call export.pl via some script.) Many thanks in advance. Giuseppe.

Debian/Ubuntu vs .tar enhancements
by Bob Ewart 30 Jan '15

30 Jan '15

There are a lot of enhancements in the Debian/Ubuntu version of Koha which are not in the plain old .tar.gz build it yourself version, such as the 'site' and numerous commands. Are these going to be included in future versions of the .tar.gz releases? I was going to answer Jesse Lamberton's question about migrating Koha to a new server, but which sort of Koha make a huge difference. I can't use Debian because its older versions of Apache and openSSH won't qualify for PCI (credit card) certification. Ubuntu is current, but has been having strange lockups. A work around has been given and so far seems to be working (fingers crossed.) -- Bob

It would be possible to handwrite the necessary code in javascript, but my guess is that there are at least a few Wordpress plugins for displaying JSON content that is worth having a look at first. (Cited from the Koha manual if this is the first encounter with JSON reports: A public report is accessible via a URL that looks like this: http://MYOPAC/cgi-bin/koha/svc/report?id=REPORTID) Regards/Viktor

Re: [Koha] koha and wordpress

Hi Carola and Rivikantha: As far as I know, there is currently no way of displaying a Koha public list on another site via RSS. However, I have been thinking about creating RSS feeds for public lists! Unfortunately, I haven't had the time/money to do it, as I've had a lot of other projects taking up my time. I think it's a great idea though. I think it could be a fantastic way of pushing curated content out to users without them having to check the lists manually for updates. If you would like to try writing this feature yourself, I'd suggest starting at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Version_Control_Using_Git Alternatively, if you would like to pay someone to write this feature for you, you could consider one of the companies found here: http://koha-community.org/support/paid-support/ Cheers!

Thanks for your response. What I ended up doing was to export all the records and then delete the database and then imported the records. After that I had to fix the dom and grs1 situation, but all working fine now.

Help! Can't restore database after koha update
by Gwyan Rhabyt 29 Jan '15

29 Jan '15

Our small school district library server needed updating (it was running Ubuntu 11.10 which was having problems and was no longer supported). So I upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04LTS and decided to upgrade Koha at the same time (from 3.06 to 3.18). The OS upgrade went smoothly. For the Koha upgrade, I did a mysqldump of the library database (I also backed up the complete user folder as a secondary fallback). I then upgraded Koha which went fine (there were a couple of fiddles on getting Apache2 happy, but they were documented in this group or on the wiki). The problem has been that I can't seem to properly restore the library database. Before the restore,Koha runs but has no books or patrons. When I looked in the /var/lib/mysql/koha_paclibrary folder (paclibrary is our database), I saw about 150 files, nearly all .frm files with a size of 12 blocks each. I followed the instructions at http://kohageek.pbworks.com/w/page/60452540/How%20to%20move%20your%20koha%2… and did the following: sudo su mysql -uroot -p > drop database koha_paclibrary; (response was Query OK, 178 rows affected) > create database koha_paclibrary; (response was Query OK, 1 row affected) > quit; mysql -uroot -p koha_paclibrary < jan11dump.sql (which took a few minutes, but returned to the prompt with no errors) Now at this point I again looked in the folder /var/lib/mysql/koha_paclibrary and there is only one file (db.opt) with a size of 4 blocks. I thought at first that the dump was wrong or small, but I checked and jan11dump.sql is 81800 blocks and looks like it has all our info inside. I tried running koha at this point on the web interface and it only gave me the installer, as though koha had not been installed at all. I tried a variety of things and then decided to uninstall koha, mysql, and apache (with sudo apt-get --purge remove) The uninstall seemed clean. And I reinstalled koha and everything happened as before. No errors except the dump won't restore properly. Can anyone give me pointers as to where to go from here? Is there a log of the mysql restore that would give me details? I looked but couldn't find one. At the moment, our library is at a standstill.
