Clear as Mud to a non-librarian tech guy
by Phillip Ponchot 05 Jul '14

05 Jul '14

We've upgraded to 3.14 and the librarians have pointed out to me that whenever they are checking out an item, that there is a statement that the item is not renewable. I've spent the better part of my day trying to find out where to change this. The Items type look promising but when I clicked to edit it, there was not renewable option. Anyone have a clue? Thanks, Phillip Tech Guy and not a librarian (smile).

Problems creating OAI datasets
by Steve Sowder 02 Jul '14

02 Jul '14

I have two OAI sets defined with mapping to the contents of a 595s field. To create the database the online manual in section 4.8.4 says to execute: misc/migration_tools/build_oai_sets.pl From our techie: <<< There are missing configurations. For starters, I copied /usr/share/koha/koha-conf.xml.in to /usr/share/koha/koha-conf.xml (because it didn't exist). Now it is complaining that it can't access the database. I ran it as koha-koha from /usr/share/koha with "perl -I/usr/share/koha/lib bin/migration_tool/build_oai_sets.pl" and got back the following errors: DBI connect('dbname=koha;host=localhost;port=3306','_DBC_DBUSER_',...) failed: Access denied for user '_DBC_DBUSER_'@'localhost' (using password: YES) at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Context.pm line 802 Access denied for user '_DBC_DBUSER_'@'localhost' (using password: YES) at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Context.pm line 802. I need to know (or where it is set) what the DBC_DBUSERS and password for it are set. >>> Where do we go from here? Thanks for any help.

Reg: Search issue in 3.16
by Sivagaami Shanmugam 02 Jul '14

02 Jul '14

I have installed latest version of koha - 3.16 in my cloud server which has Cent OS 6.5 x86_64. Search doesn't seem to work. rebuild_zebra.pl is running fine: root@server [/var/log/koha]# /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.p Zebra configuration information ================================ Zebra biblio directory = /var/lib/koha/zebradb/biblios Zebra authorities directory = /var/lib/koha/zebradb/authorities Koha directory = /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin Lockfile = /var/lock/koha/zebradb/rebuild/rebuild..LCK BIBLIONUMBER in : 999$c BIBLIOITEMNUMBER in : 999$d ================================ skipping authorities ==================== exporting biblio ==================== 1.... Records exported: 5 ==================== REINDEXING zebra ==================== ==================== CLEANING ==================== but when I search for the item, it either says 'the record does not exists' else it shows the records without any biblio info. When I try editing that record, it has nothing in it. Checked the database and all the information seem to be there. So please help me with this. And do let me know if its advisable to go with CentOS for koha. Thanks & Regards, Shiva.

RDA searching and display
by Ian Bays 01 Jul '14

01 Jul '14

Hi all, I understand that new Koha installations includes the RDA tags and subfields in the MARC21 frameworks. However on looking at the Zebra search configuration (in package install in /etc/koha/zebradb/marc_defs/marc21/biblios/record.abs and biblio*) I cannot see any reference to tag 264 for RDA publication info tag. Similarly I cannot see any reference to 264 in the xsl stylesheets for displaying detail records (/usr/share/koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/xslt/MARC21slim2intranetDetail.xsl and /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/xslt/MARC21slim2OPACDetail.xsl). I am not a cataloguer and have not been following the great RDA debate so I do not know exactly what needs indexing and how it needs displaying, but just wanted to check with the list that I had not missed anything obvious. If it does need to be done (indexing and display of RDA tags) should I raise a bugzilla for each of these and link them to bug 10344 that is a holding bug for all RDA bugs? All the best.

Authority z39.50 server for Unimarc
by Zeno Tajoli 01 Jul '14

01 Jul '14

Hi to all, do you know open z39.50 server with Unimarc Authority ? O are you an unimarc setup with an authority z39.50 server ? In fact I'm trying to test the authority z39.50 for Unimarc so I don't need a 'National Library' server. A normal Koha setup is enough.
