Stemming and zebra
by Francois Charbonnier 04 Sep '14

04 Sep '14

Hello, I have tested the QueryStemming system preference on Koha 3.14 (my local installation) and I'm wondering, does zebra just right truncate the words or is there an algorithm to find the stems? I use ICU and I have enabled "QueryWeightFields". I don't have automatic truncation or fuzzy search on. I use these words for my tests: * ski, skiing, skills * fish, fished, fishing, fisher, fishxsdfe Each time, with QueryStemming on, skills and fishxsdfe come out in the search results. Is it what I should expect? "Skills", maybe but "fishxsdfe"? Do you know how it works? or have a good example that would help me to understand?

OpacNav
by Mildred Amita Odongo 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

Good morning On my OPAC page the contents of OPACNav jumped down to the bottom of the screen after being in the right position for a long time (More than 2 years). I have tried to apply using style="width:400px" to reduce the width of the list in the OPACNav since I had thought that it may have been too wide to fit on the right side of the OPAC. There is an active OpacMainUserBlock at the centre which I tried reducing its width but there was not change experienced. I need the content of the OPACNav back in their right position. Could anyone help? Kind Regards Mildred Two forces are succesfully influencing the education of a cultivated man: art and science.

How do I filter records based on the MARC 005? DATE AND TIME OF LATEST TRANSACTION biblio.timestamp doesn't do it. This is what I have: SELECT biblio.biblionumber,items.barcode,biblio.author,biblio.title,biblio.timestamp,biblio.datecreated FROM items LEFT JOIN biblioitems on (items.biblioitemnumber=biblioitems.biblioitemnumber) LEFT JOIN biblio on (biblioitems.biblionumber=biblio.biblionumber) WHERE biblio.timestamp >= '2014-05-01' AND biblio.timestamp <= '2014-05-30' ORDER BY biblio.biblionumber asc In the guided report the option I chose was Modification date / biblio.timestamp But after testing this I've discovered that it isn't using the date in the 005. I'm not sure where the Modification date / biblio.timestamp information is coming from, it's neither the creation date, nor the modification date, but some other date entirely. I'm trying to hunt down a batch of records modified on a certain date.

Item records attached to the wrong biblio - is this possible?
by Elaine Bradtke 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

I think this is a legacy of an older version of Koha. Possibly Koha 3.10.02 There was an incorrect setting in our frameworks that resulted in newly created catalogue records containing multiple 999$c fields (Biblionumbers) (November 2012) We discovered this, and fixed the setting and eventually removed the extra biblionumbers when we found they were resulting in false positive search results. Now my colleague tells me there are catalogue records that seem to have gotten their item records swapped. The one that I looked at this morning was part of that batch of records that had multiple biblionumbers. We're going to check to see if the other records that were created in the same time frame have similar problems. I'm wondering if having multiple biblionumbers caused the item records to get scrambled? I seem to recall Koha changed the way item records were attached and processed, though not when this happened. Our cataloguer is a meticulous worker, and it's very uncharacteristic for him to have made such a mess of things. In fact, he's the one who spotted the problem and brought it to my attention. I would like to be able to assure him that this randomization of item records isn't going to happen again. -- Elaine Bradtke Data Wrangler VWML English Folk Dance and Song Society | http://www.efdss.org Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent's Park Road, London NW1 7AY Tel +44 (0) 20 7485 2206 (This number is for the English Folk Dance and Song Society in London, England.
