Will the insanity ever end? What about the barcode? - Smile
by Phillip Ponchot 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

And of course the answer is no. Not as long as I am a network engineer, systems administrator, desktop support specialist or helpdesk specialist - there always will be bugs and incompatibilties. As the library has just upgraded to Koha 3.14, I am stamping out issues which thankfully I've had some superb help from the Koha List. One of the peculiar issues has been that whenever the barcode readers scan a book, there is a message that the barcode does not exist. Whenever the book barcode is typed in however, the book can be checked out or in. I had suspected that the return or enter code on the barcode was not being recognized correctly by Koha, but then a return or enter is a return or enter and should work. I found a single item on the web that indicated that this is being caused by the fact that the barcode is sending the form information before the form is complete. The article talked about revising the form setup in the test database. Is there an update to fix this problem and if so can anyone tell me how to get the fix or patch Koha? If there is not an update can anyone tell me how to fix the issue? If someone could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate. Phillip

Re: [Koha] Crontab - is that one tabs used to open beer cans?

Thank you so much. Its easier to use one that is already built than to spend hours trying to build the crontab. I appreciate you're sharing.

Koha API
by Edgeworks Creative 07 Jul '14

07 Jul '14

We could use some help understanding how we go about querying the data in Koha to produce things like book cover images, new item lists, etc. Is there a good reference you can point me to for understanding how we can query koha from the website and display results? We (obviously) still intend to put the koha search itself in place, but I'm talking about programmatically getting at data. Any help would be appreciated.

In the absence of a sane plan, I'm going with yours (just kidding -smile). This is a paraphrase from the TV series Red Dwarf and I love to use it whenever I can. Thank you so much for sharing. This will make it much easier for me to get things working in Koha. Although I'll have to do some substitution since Koha was loaded in /etc/koha this is going to help tremendously to recreate the crontab for Koha.

How to stop series title volume enter Authorities
by Iming Chan 07 Jul '14

07 Jul '14

Dear all, I would like to know how to setup, so volume designator (subfield $v) will be ignored when creating new authority for Series Title (MARC 8XX)? At this moment, Koha seems to take the entire heading, including volume designato, when creating new authority. Unfortunately by doing so, you cannot group the same series title together. At this moment, it is a pain that you have to remove volume designator on a new Series Title authority. Once this is done, you can then continue to work on subsequent volumes of the same series! Surely, there must be a way to instruct Koha not to add subfield $v to new Series Title authority automatically! Not to mention that it is not much fun merging 20+ similar Series Titles into one!! ----- Iming Chan Translib Information Service Melbourne, Australia -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/How-to-stop-series-title-volume-enter-Aut… Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

My new version of koha 3.14 is up and working. I was just looking at the crontab jobs and I didn't find anything in there.
