branch restrictions to staff
by Giuseppe Angilella 14 Sep '14

14 Sep '14

Hi, further to the following message of 2004 (!): http://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2004/007518.html is it possible with current Koha version to restrict circulation (and perhaps patron management) for a given staff member (or staff members belonging to a given patron category) for items belonging to a given branch, and patrons belonging to a given patron category? Many thanks and best regards, Giuseppe.

Can't view 'Holds' from the patron details view
by Steven Nickerson 14 Sep '14

14 Sep '14

Good morning, After a recent upgrade from the tarball 3.9 version to the package version 3.16.3 we are unable to view the "Holds" tab on any patron record. It simply says "Processing" and never returns results. We can however see all the holds via a report, so I started poking around and find the following in the koha error log: [Sat Sep 13 10:22:45 2014] [error] [client x.x.x.x] script not found or unable to stat: /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/svc/holds.pl, referer: http://y.y.y.y:8080/cgi-bin/koha/circ/circulation.pl Has anyone ever seen this and does anyone know how to get that missing file in the proper place at this point? Thanks! Steve

Incremental fine and purchase suggestion restriction: Partially solved.
by Ramprasad S. Joshi 13 Sep '14

13 Sep '14

We have developed a very simple reports solution to the incremental fine calculations in koha, with different slabs and increments for different categories of patrons. Since it is not customizable yet online, you may send us your specific fines policies and we can post you back the SQL for the corresponding report.

Setting up a quarterly dated serial prediction
by Jeremy Evans 11 Sep '14

11 Sep '14

I am trying to set up a new serial prediction but the test predictions keep showing up issue numbers when I need the month to display and it also skips to the wrong month. It is a quarterly journal, published March, June, September and December - each issue is dated by month and year. No issue numbers. e.g. the issue received today says September 2014 on the front cover. I would probably want the issue numbers to say MAR/JUN/SEP/DEC I tried to set up a prediction but it always starts with January each time, not March and omits the year after the first issue. Any ideas how to set this up? We are using Koha 3.16 Many thanks, Jeremy Evans Information Services Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency National Institute for Biological Standards and control Blanche Lane, South Mimms Potters Bar, Herts, UK EN6 3QG 01707 641323

Hardware requirements
by Witoszynskyj Stephan 11 Sep '14

11 Sep '14

Hello, we are a (very) small library. We are using Koha since a couple of months. So far our installation is „offline“ (on an old Mac Mini that is not accessible from the internet). Now we want to go online. Due to our limited budget the only option will be renting a virtual server. However, I have no idea which specifications will be sufficient in our case. I know that more is always better, but our financial resources are really limited. The offerings that I currently have, have following specifications: * Single Core, 512 MB RAM, 20 GB hard disk * Single Core, 1024 MB RAM, 40 GB hard disk We have less than 5000 books and less than 250 customers. I’m sorry that I’m asking a question that has been asked a hundred times… Regards, Stephan
