Overdue report/count at year-end
by Steven Nickerson 03 Aug '14

03 Aug '14

Hello everyone, We have implemented one of the overdue reports from the Report Library and that gives us a snapshot of the overdue count at the point in time when the report is run, but is there any way to get a count (by month, for example) of the number of items that were overdue throughout a year? Thanks! Steve

Bulk Print Patron Summaries
by Riley Childs 02 Aug '14

02 Aug '14

Is there a way to print patron summaries in bulk? We want to be able to run a report to show all patron accounts with overdues and then print their patron summaries in bulk. Is there as simple way to do this, or will we have to run a report for overdues and then export summaries manually.

However, clicking Basker groups option, it display only first 10 basket groups (with Reopen, print, export as cvs option). It is not showing other two (11 & 12). Can anybody help us to resolve it?

Data Migration, TLC to Koha
by Ronn Raszetnik 01 Aug '14

01 Aug '14

Hi everyone, I am new to the list here. I am an electronic resources librarian at an independent public library in Florida. We are interested in migrating from our current self-hosted TLC system to Koha. Quotes we have received from vendors are higher than we had hoped, mainly because of hefty migration fees. Is it realistic to think we could do the migration ourselves? I installed Koha on an old server that we have, and it seems simple enough to use. Honestly, I don't think we need training or ongoing support, but the data migration (bib, patron, fine records) makes me a bit uneasy. I can work my way around Linux a bit, but I am not a database expert. Does anyone have experience migrating from TLC to Koha? What is involved? Thanks, Ronn

by sebastian.krieg＠tuz-eisenach.de 31 Jul '14

31 Jul '14

Hello Koha, I life in Germany and use Koha 3.16.2 in my private home. I have to link some additional informations from a wiki in the biblioitems. In this case I use the field "URL", but the weblink in this field opens (in OPAC and Admin) in the same browser tab. Is there a possibility to open a external weblink in a biblioitem in a separate browser tab? Thanks for this usefull programm, Koha! Sebastian ___ mailto: sebastian.krieg(a)tuz-eisenach.de

SIP2 AF field sent even if patron password is invalid
by Kyle Hall 31 Jul '14

31 Jul '14

I have an interesting SIP2 implementation issue. When authenticating through SIP2, if a valid patron id is passed in, but an *invalid* password is passed in, Koha's SIP2 server send back the AF ( screen message ) field even though the credentials are invalid. If a patron owes any fees, the server will send back the amount owed in an AF field. For instance, Overdrive will display this AF field even with an invalid password. Freegal does not ( but it may not display any AF field ). At least one SIP2 machine we tested against will also display the AF field when an invalid password is submitted. Is this a Koha issue, or a client side issue? The SIP2 protocol specification does not indicate that AF fields should be removed in the event of an invalid password. My guess is that some SIP2 server implementations may send back "Invalid password" messages which may be useful.

sorting issues in Armenian catalogue
by Haik Zargaryan 31 Jul '14

31 Jul '14

Dear List, We are using koha 3.14. Our catalog mainly consists of Armenian language records. When I search in the Armenian language records using a keyword and then sort the records in Title A-Z order, the search results are not sorted alphabetically. I have found discussion on this issue and after going through it my understanding is that additional sorting rules can be defined in the file sort-string-utf.chr located in the /etc/koha/zebradb/lang_defs/en directory. Anyway, when I am adding the Armenian Unicode letters (marked in red and bold) to introduce correct sorting order: ----- lowercase {0-9}{a-y}üzæäøöåաբգդեզէըթժիլխծկհձղճմյնշոչպջռսվտրցուփքևօֆ uppercase {0-9}{A-Y}ÜZÆÄØÖÅԱԲԳԴԵԶԷԸԹԺԻԼԽԾԿՀՁՂՃՄՅՆՇՈՉՊՋՌՍՎՏՐՑՈՒՓՔԵՎՕՖ ----- the letters are not saved properly in the file, which is in ANSI encoding. Please advise me what should I do on the matters below. - In what encoding the Armenian letters or the sort-string-utf.chr file should be? - Am I adding the letters in the correct file and in the correct place, or should I create a new directory/file for the Armenian language? - Should the Zebra be re-indexed to implement the changes? Regards, Haik.
