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.

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!

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. Help! ________________________________________________ Gwyan Rhabyt Director, Multimedia Graduate Program Professor, Art Department California State University East Bay and President of the Board of Trustees, Pacific Elementary School District

Facets missing on fresh dev install of 3.18.3
by Cindy Murdock Ames 29 Jan '15

29 Jan '15

Hi all, I'm working on setting up a new server with a fresh dev install of 3.18.3 (well, it was a fresh install of 3.18.2 last week but I've updated it) using a copy of our database from our current server, which is running a customized version of 3.01.133. I've run updatedatabase.pl on it (manually because otherwise apache times out) as well as remove_items_from_biblioitems.pl. Everything seems to work *except* for the search facets. I've done a lot of googling, and I suspect it has to do with the new zebra faceting system, but I don't know enough about zebra to figure out why this is happening, so I'd be grateful if someone could help me figure this out. Zebra appears to be working otherwise, I do get search results, just no facets. In other cases I found where people were having trouble their indexing was not working at all because it wasn't fully configured to use dom, but I chose to use dom from the installer and as far as I can tell from my koha-conf.xml it's configured correctly.

Migrating Server Question
by Jesse Lambertson 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

Hello, We are waiting for our server to arrive (on which we will install Koha). But it might be delayed. What experience do people have with installing Koha in one place and then migrating that server and database to another server? I am not sure what kind of time we are talking about in the delay, but I am wondering if this is done regularly, how easy it is and if it is worth it to install and migrate or just wait. Thank you in advance, 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
