Acquisitions Problem
by Jack Morash 08 Jan '15

08 Jan '15

Evening Everyone, Not sure if this is a bug or I've got a problem using Acquisitions in version 3.16.04. I'm trying to add an order into a basket under a vendor in Acquisitions. I've tried using both "suggestions" and "a new empty record". Whenever I get down to the Accounting Details window and try to enter a Quantity, the system will not let me enter anything into that field. Naturally you can't process an order without a quantity and the system lets me know that. No problem with other fields. Is this a bug I need to report or am I missing something? I've tried everything I can think of. I have Koha 3.16.04.000 System is an Amazon EC2 linux Debian server. Thanks for your assistance.

Re: [Koha] languages choice in Koha 3.18.1
by WisdOMbooks 07 Jan '15

07 Jan '15

Hope this is below 40 kn ! Please, refer to these: http://turl.ca/kohalang1 AND http://turl.ca/kohalang2 In the search settings, I have selected *san,ben,hin,eng,fre,ita* (as per ISO 639-2 language codes = Sanskrit, Bengali, Hindi, English, French, Italian), as limitation to the choices for the OPAC dropdown in the Advanced Search page. (I have also tried with the pipe separator: *san|ben|hin|eng|fre|ita*... with the same result! ) However, in the actual dropdown, the choice does not include the language Sanskrit PLUS the order is not the one of my choiceor not even an A-Z order... Could any kind koha-expert check into this and explain why the Sanskrit language does not appear as a choice in the OPAC search dropdown? And why the order of the languages is not the same, as the one I have indicated in the administration? I think we should be able to arrange the languages as per our choice and requirements or, at the very worst, in an A-Z order, for this feature to be useful to the users. Even better, as I am seen in most of the best websites, nowadays, there should be a clickable multiple choice, not a single one! In such a way that, for ex., if I want to find out how many titles I have in any Indic language, I can select Sanskrit, Bengali and Hindi or, instead, if I want to know how many in any European language, I can select English, French and Italian. This will be the best, I guess... and kindly suggest :) Thank you: Mr. Angelo Pugliese (HeadLibrarian) BhaktiVedanta Research Centre Kolkata (Calcutta), India (I am on the latest Mint server, with the latest Koha 3.18.1; client on Windows, 16 RAM)

When I issued apt-get autoremove it offered to remove the following perl packages: libdata-paginator-perl libmoosex-storage-perl libstring-rewriteprefix-perl libtime-progress-perl I am unsure if these are still necessary.

Help with JSON and public reports
by Karam Qubsi 07 Jan '15

07 Jan '15

Hi , First I'm very new with JSON . I'd like to ask : as I understood from JSON documentation that the output data in JSON format must look like something like to this : [ { "Name" : "Alfreds Futterkiste", "City" : "Berlin", "Country" : "Germany" }, { "Name" : "Berglunds snabbköp", "City" : "Luleå", "Country" : "Sweden" }, { "Name" : "Centro comercial Moctezuma", "City" : "México D.F.", "Country" : "Mexico" }, { "Name" : "Ernst Handel", "City" : "Graz", "Country" : "Austria" } ] but in Koha the output for Public reports is like this : [["23-12-2014","maisara","6"],["23-12-2014","nadia","10"],["22-12-2014","hakkar","17"],["22-12-2014","nadia","3"],["22-12-2014","abdramaneg","21"]] the field names is not in the output , and I realized ( & maybe I'm wrong) that to handle JSON text you must have id for each field ) to handle it with your script . so is this a correct output from Koha ? and can be handled in some advanced methods with JSON ? or do I have to write my SQL report in a way to CONCAT the field name with the field data in every data cell ? thanks :) . -- *Karam Qubsi <https://www.linkedin.com/in/kqubsi>* *Shah Alam , Malaysia . *

Update a field using SQL
by CTS-Programmer 3 (Paul Dokken) 06 Jan '15

06 Jan '15

Hi am running Koha 3.18. I want to run some SQL queries to update some fields. When I try and run a simple query like UPDATE item SET PRICE = 2.00 WHERE BARCODE = '37000001' it just says executing query until I stop it. I am using MySQL Workbench from the Koha host and running under root user. Anything special I have to do? Thanks, Paul
