Bulk export patrons / borrowers images for batch processing
by Pablo Bianchi 25 Sep '14

25 Sep '14

Hi all, I'm trying to download / export all patrons images into a set of files (something like nnn.png/jpg, where nnn is cardnumber) so I could work with them (ie Imagemagick mogrify) and then import them again <http://manual.koha-community.org/3.16/en/tools.html#uploadpatronimages> into other Koha instance. I'm able to do this one by one with *wget patronimage.pl?borrowernumber= <http://patronimage.pl?borrowernumber=>nnn* or all of them with *SELECT imagefile FROM patronimage INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/PatronsImages.out'* (FIELDS/LINES TERMINATED BY...) but of course all in one file, without considering mimetype column and is not easy for me to use split command in this case. Before trying to write a script to walk *foreach* patrons I invoke list wisdom, might be an easier way... Regards, Pablo

Export Athena / import Koha
by jrbk 25 Sep '14

25 Sep '14

FYI: I am a total novice at Koha. I had an acquaintance set up a Ubuntu server with Koha on it. The server is running just fine and can only be accessed in-house. We are using it for a small library at a private school. It is replacing the outdated Athena. I created a superuser and have logged in and am starting to set things up... I followed the directions on this wiki in order to export the MARC records from Athena in order to import it into Koha. http://library.bridgton.lib.me.us/BPL_mediawiki/index.php/Exporting_Athena_… I was able to accomplish all of the steps without any errors or issues... I then went into "Manage staged MARC records" from the Tools menu and imported the MARC records into the catalog. I am able to search for each item by title or author, etc. The problem that I am having is that it didn't seem to transfer the Barcode information. All of our books are already labeled so it is advantageous for us to keep the old Barcode system since there are roughly 9000 items. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you. -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Export-Athena-import-Koha-tp5812752.html Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Koha community adopts code of conduct
by Galen Charlton 25 Sep '14

25 Sep '14

In order to help provide a safe and welcoming environment for all attendees at Koha events, the Koha community has approved [1] a code of conduct and anti-harassment policy [2]. All delegates, attendees, and organizers at Koha events, including the upcoming KohaCon14 in Argentina, are expected to abide by this policy. The organizers of KohaCon14 have taken steps to effectively implement this policy, and specific details of how to seek assistance and report incidents while on site will be forthcoming. The full text of the policy is available on the Koha community website. Please read the policy and disseminate it widely. Although the policy is currently focused on behavior at conference, all participants in communications forums used by the Koha project, including the mailing lists and IRC channel, should abide by it. The code of conduct is expected to be revised as circumstances and our experiences suggest ways of improving it. Suggestions for changes can be made via the general mailing list or by contacting any member of the release team.

Important security update for Linux systems
by Robin Sheat 25 Sep '14

25 Sep '14

This isn't strictly Koha related, but very important to be aware of nonetheless. There's a recently announced vulnerability in bash in Linux which is remotely exploitable. Some references: http://www.csoonline.com/article/2687265/application-security/remote-exploi… http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q3/650 https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2014/msg00220.html I'm not aware of any way that Koha makes this easier to exploit, but I wouldn't be surprised to find that there is one somewhere. So go run your security updates. Also keep an eye on them over the next couple of days, I wouldn't be surprised to find a better-fixed version coming out in the near future. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF

Unexpected behaviour in 942 $h (3.14)
by Elaine Bradtke 24 Sep '14

24 Sep '14

We're running 3.14.06.000 When editing a catalogue record, we manually type in the contents of the 942$h (call number). This is usually the last thing that is added before saving the record, otherwise we might not have seen what happens next. Just after you hit save and before you are presented with the item record screen a space and numeral 1 appear after the call number. Here it is in a record - the call number should be only "AP" as it is in the 099 field. =LDR 00885nam a22002417a 4500 =001 201409241538.nw =003 UkLoVW =005 20140924154908.0 =008 140924s1760\\\\enkag\\\\\\\\\001\0\eng\d =040 \\$aUkLoVW$beng$cUkLoVW =099 \\$aAP =245 \\$aThe universal magazine of knowledge and pleasure, vol.

We have $6 set to ignore in the framework. To add to the strangeness, the 1 sometimes appears only as you are saving, but does not remain in the MARC after you have saved the record. But sometimes it does. Just as an experiment, I duplicated the above record. The 1 appeared during the save process, but did not appear in the saved duplicated record. What's more, when I try to replicate the problem by creating a new record (either with a Z39.50 download or original cataloguing) it doesn't happen. The cataloguer tells me that it doesn't always happen when he creates records either and that if he's persistent enough he can eventually delete the extra space and 1. I asked him to keep track of the records that have this problem, perhaps with more than one example, we can see a pattern. Has anyone else experienced this? Does it have anything to do with ignoring subfield 6? Because I can't replicate this problem I haven't been able to test it in 3.16 which we're running on our test site.
