Koha Export data
by Erlanda Simonyan 13 Aug '14

13 Aug '14

Dear community, We are using Koha 3.14 version. Koha Export data module is allowing to export the records according to the criteria "From Biublionumber- To Biblionumber". I want to export the records lets say according to the year of publication range, e.g. 2000-2010. It seems that Koha export module can't perform this operation? As for Koha OPAC, from this module I can export only one record. Any suggestions. how to export the batch of records using different search criteria? Regards, Erlanda

MARC Preview in 3.16.02 - doesn't always display in managed MARC records
by Elaine Bradtke 13 Aug '14

13 Aug '14

When I go to Manage MARC records and try to look at an individual record, the popup MARC preview window doesn't appear. This is where it doesn't appear: Using Google Chrome on a Mac running OS X (10.9.4) Using Firefox on a Mac running OS X (10.9.4) However, the MARC preview popup box works fine in the Z39.50 search in both cases But: It works as expected running Google Chrome on a virtual machine (Windows XP, yeah, I know) on the very same Mac. I have disabled all the extensions, thinking one of them might have been blocking it, but it still doesn't work in the Managed staged records. Our main site is still running 3.14.06 and the MARC preview works fine in all cases. I don't have access to a more modern Windows OS to check it there until my colleagues come back to work in the morning (I'm 8 time zones away). Does anyone else see this problem? I do use this feature frequently! -- 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.

Temporary shelving location
by Jorge de Cardenas 13 Aug '14

13 Aug '14

Is anybody using temporary shelving locations? What we would like to happen is that an item has a permanent location & location set. Normally they would be the same, but occasionally items are pulled and displayed e.g. a holiday display table with holiday books, dvds, etc. The location would be changed to reflect that they are on the display table so they can be found. When they items are checked out/in they revert back to the permanent location where they are shelved. It would be a similar mechanism as items marked as lost. When they are checked in or out they revert to available. We are currently using the Lost field to mark the temporary display location but that requires modifying core modules to allow holds on certain lost codes.

Opacheader syspref: Custom header image not displaying on all pages
by Craig Butosi 13 Aug '14

13 Aug '14

Dear Collective Wisdom, First time posting to KOHA listserv. I hope there's a kind soul out there who can help me with an HTML-related issue in Global Preferences-->OPAC. I'm running a test setup of Koha, and have been tinkering with the administrative settings. Everything has been going great --what a lovely system! -- until I noticed a small issue I'm having with the opacheader syspref. Problem: My custom header image (imageairBANNER.jpg) does not display on every page, unlike basic HTML text entered into the opacheader field. It only displays on the homepage (174.116.172.82). For example, if I navigate to Advanced Search from the homepage, I get a broken image icon instead of my custom header image. I have noticed that when I type my OPAC URL into a browser, after page load, it displays only the URL in the address bar of the browser (http://craigslibrary.myddns.com/) but, if I click on the small "Koha" icon on the homepage's masthead, it returns me to the homepage with a different URL: http://craigslibrary.myddns.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl (it is on the latter page the broken image appears). Goal: To have my custom header image display on every page of the catalogue. ___ Setup: Koha 3.16.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS OPAC: craigslibrary.myddns.com (174.116.172.82) Staff: craigslibrary.myddns.com:8080 (174.116.172.82:8080) Image save location: /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/imageairBANNER.jpg Opacheader syspref code:  <img src="imageairBANNER.jpg" usemap="#websitemap"> <map name="websitemap"> <area shape="rect" coords="0,70,110,100" <a href="http://www.craigbutosi.ca" target="blank"> </map>  __ I haven't a clue as to why HTML text renders on every page, but my custom image does not. Could this have something to do with the <img src> attribute, file permissions, or CSS? Any help or tips would be much appreciated, and apologies if I forgot to include important information!

Koha 3.16.02.000 maybe small bug in patrons managment
by claudiok＠nexusfi.it 13 Aug '14

13 Aug '14

Hello Maybe someone else found out this before, but from here I cannot read all my old email from this mailing list. I'd like to report about what I think is a small bug in Koha 3.16.02.000 Patrons managment. Accessing to koha staff client as superlibrarian is impossible to delete a patron. I mean, the "delete" item is enabled but it doesn't give any result. On the other side accessing to koha as a staff member who has all the permission to manage patrons, is possible to delete patrons: the "delete" is enabled and it makes its work. I did many tests changing the permission of the staff members accounts, and things work as I described. Perdon me if also someone else reported this before... Claudio Kutufà

2014 Koha NA Users Group Meeting Summary
by Heather Braum (NEKLS) 12 Aug '14

12 Aug '14

I attended the 2014 North American Koha Users Group meeting in beautiful Wenatchee, WA last week. Most of the week's notes ended up my hands, so I get to send out the email summarizing the week, I guess! :) Attendees spent 2 days discussing various parts of Koha, as well as getting this North American Koha group off the ground. Friday, a dozen of us learned how to setup Koha virtual machines and set up git to do our own testing of Koha, instead of relying on the sandboxes. Several goals were developed for the group during the week: - Purpose: The purpose of this group is to communicate, educate, and collaborate amongst North American users of the Koha software and strengthen involvement with the global Koha community. - Wiki setup: Bare bones wiki already set up: www.koha-na.org. The Northeast Kansas Library System (NEKLS) volunteered to set this up and sponsor the domain name and provide the server space. This wiki will host information, including community participation tips and public development ideas and money raised for developments. Specific dollar amounts and who's contributing will be behind a password-protected wall (as some organizations can't share this info publicly), but the rest of the info will be public. We haven't figured out the development part yet, but hopefully will soon. - Communicate on the Koha-NA listserv more - Planning committee for next year's face-to-face conference in a TBD location (Include planning for live video/webcasting, for remote participation) - Online monthly meetings TBD; NEKLS finding out licensing info for Collaborate platform - Planning committee for the group: Chad Roseburg (NCRL), Joel Sasse (Plum Creek), Chris Rohde (Roseville PL), Nick Clemens (VOKAL), Heather Braum (NEKLS). Any other volunteers who weren't at the conference, please let us know if you're interested in helping lead the direction of this group and next year's face-to-face meeting. - Membership list on the wiki -- what are areas of experience? IRC nicknames. - Future goals: nonprofit status, and grant writing Full discussion notes here: http://koha-na.org/index.php/Future_of_NA_Koha_Users_Group_discussion The Wiki that was launched, www.koha-na.org, anyone can register and start adding content. All the notes from the event will be available sometime this week on the new wiki for this group. If any of you attended last week's conference, and have content to add, please feel free to do so.
