Backup of Patron Images
by Rupinder Singh 31 Oct '23

31 Oct '23

Hi, When I migrated my koha from one server to another by migrating the MySQL database, I was able to see the complete data (Bibliography, Circulation, patron, etc) in the new server. However, I could not see the patron images on their profile page, which were earlier uploaded on the old server. I suppose when I migrated the SQL database, it just migrated the data to a new server, but the jpg files were stored in a folder in the koha installation, which is why the photos are not appearing in the new koha installation. Can anyone please help me with migrating the patron images as well? What is the folder location where koha stores the patron images uploaded for each patron? Thank you Rupinder Singh

Overdue lists
by Angela Davies 29 Oct '23

29 Oct '23

We are a small volunteer library and so different people use the Koha system. I have already been using an overdue report, but until now we have only issued adult books through the computer. Starting in January children's books will be added. Is there a way to have an overdue report for adults only and a separate listing for children's issues? None of us are able to create or understand computer programming so we need very simple instructions. Thank you for any help Angela Davies Opawa Library Christchurch

HTML Display in Normal View
by erlanda_simonyan＠flib.sci.am 28 Oct '23

28 Oct '23

Hello List, we are using Koha version 21.11.05 For better display in 520 field we are using some HTML commands. In the ISBD view of the record the 520 field is displayed in accordance with HTML commands. But in the Normal view all HTML commands are not suppressed (see the display below). Is this a bug? Is it possible to suppress the HTML commands in the Normal View? thanks, Erlanda Summary: 1887, Թիւ 1 ՀՆՉԱԿ, Լօնդօն, Հայկական ազատ տպարան: 1888, Թիւ 2- Թիւ 11/12 ՀՆՉԱԿ, Լօնդօն, Հայկական ազատ տպարան: 1889, ԵՐԿՐՈՐԴ ՏԱՐԻ, Թիւ 1 - Թիւ 4 ՀՆՉԱԿ, Լօնդօն, Հայկական ազատ տպարան: 1890, ԵՐՐՈՐԴ ՏԱՐԻ, Թիւ 1 - Թիւ 12 ՀՆՉԱԿ, Լօնդօն, Հայկական ազատ տպարան: 1891, ՉՈՐՐՈՐԴ ՏԱՐԻ, Թիւ 1 - Թիւ 16 ՀՆՉԱԿ, Լօնդօն, Հայկական ազատ տպարան: 1892, ՀԻՆԳԵՐՈՐԴ ՏԱՐԻ, Թիւ 1 - Թիւ 9 ՀՆՉԱԿ, Լօնդօն, Հայկական ազատ տպարան: 1892, ՀԻՆԳԵՐՈՐԴ ՏԱՐԻ, Թիւ 10 - Թիւ 12 ՀՆՉԱԿ, Աթէնք, Հայկական ազատ տպարան: 1893, ՎԵՑԵՐՈՐԴ ՏԱՐԻ, Թիւ 1 - Թիւ 11/12 ՀՆՉԱԿ, Աթէնք, Հայկական ազատ տպարան: 1894, ԵՕԹԵՐՈՐԴ ՏԱՐԻ, Թիւ 1 - Թիւ 13 ՀՆՉԱԿ, Աթէնք, Հայկական ազատ տպարան: 1895, ՈւԹԵՐՈՐԴ ՏԱՐԻ, Թիւ 1 - Թիւ 10 ՀՆՉԱԿ, Աթէնք, Հայկական ազատ տպարան: 1895, ՈւԹԵՐՈՐԴ ՏԱՐԻ, Թիւ 11 ՀՆՉԱԿ, Լօնդօն, Հայկական ազատ տպարան: 1895, ՈւԹԵՐՈՐԴ ՏԱՐԻ, Թիւ 12 - Թիւ 24 ՀՆՉԱԿ : ԿԵՆՏՐՕՆԱԿԱՆ ՕՐԳԱՆ ՀՆՉԱԿԵԱՆ ԿՈՒՍԱԿՑՈՒԹԵԱՆ , Լօնդօն, Տպարան "Հնչակի": 1896, ԻՆՆԵՐՈՐԴ ՏԱՐԻ, Թիւ 1 - Թիւ 22 ՀՆՉԱԿ : ԿԵՆՏՐՕՆԱԿԱՆ ՕՐԳԱՆ ՀՆՉԱԿԵԱՆ ԿՈՒՍԱԿՑՈՒԹԵԱՆ , Լօնդօն, Տպարան "Հնչակի": 1897, ՏԱՍՆԵՐՈՐԴ ՏԱՐԻ, Թիւ 1 - Թիւ 12 ՀՆՉԱԿ : ԿԵՆՏՐՕՆԱԿԱՆ ՕՐԳԱՆ ՀՆՉԱԿԵԱՆ ԿՈՒՍԱԿՑՈՒԹԵԱՆ , Լօնդօն, Տպարան "Հնչակի": 1898, ՏԱՍՆԵՒՄԷԿԵՐՈՐԴ ՏԱՐԻ, Թիւ 1 - Թիւ 3 ՀՆՉԱԿ : ԿԵՆՏՐՕՆԱԿԱՆ ՕՐԳԱՆ ՀՆՉԱԿԵԱՆ ԿՈՒՍԱԿՑՈՒԹԵԱՆ , Լօնդօն, Տպարան "Հնչակի": 1899, ՏԱՍՆԵՒԵՐԿՐՈՐԴ ՏԱՐԻ, Թիւ 1, Թիւ 2 ՀՆՉԱԿ : ԿԵՆՏՐՕՆԱԿԱՆ ՕՐԳԱՆ ՀՆՉԱԿԵԱՆ ԿՈՒՍԱԿՑՈՒԹԵԱՆ , Լօնդօն, Տպարան "Hentchak":

Re: [Koha] Libraries, template toolkit and notices
by Stephen Graham 27 Oct '23

27 Oct '23

Cheers Lisette. TT could definitely be an option then. ATM, we like to have the email/notice subject tailored to the specific items we are mailing about, but I guess we could have a generic subject line. I think my main concern is the potential length of the notices and looking a little intimidating for circulation staff with all the potential TT logic.

You can also change only specific information. For example if you want to have the same intro and signature, you could do: Hello [% borrower.firstname %], [% IF item.itype== "HOTSPOT" %] hotspot message [% ELSIF item.typetype=="LAPTOP" %] laptop message [% ELSE %] Anything else [% END %] Thank you for using the Library!

Elasticsearch in Debian 12
by Ricardo Vargas 26 Oct '23

26 Oct '23

Hi all, I have a Debian 12, with 16 GB of RAM and koha installed by packages, I have tried to configure it with Elasticsearch but it always sends the error of problems when indexing, it does not advance. In Debian 10 and Debian 11 it indexes without problems, has anyone configured Elasticsearch with Debian 12? -- Saludos...

Libraries, template toolkit and notices

Hi Koha Users - I have a question regarding the best way to send different email notices for different items when you want to include completely different email text.

koha-manual switched to "main"
by Jonathan Druart 26 Oct '23

26 Oct '23

Hello, Most of you can ignore this email, but if you have the koha-manual git repository cloned somewhere locally, you will need to switch to the "main" branch (instead of "master"). You can simply run the following command (when at the root of koha-manual) % git config init.defaultBranch main Regards, Jonathan
