Misleading item status between OPAC search result and full item details
by Iming Chan 05 May '14

05 May '14

Dear all, I'm try to resolve a misleading/contradicting status for new items that are currently being processed by our "Technical Services" team. Such items have been assigned "PROC" (in processing) status under "Shelf Location". This is fine and shows correctly on the OPAC full item detail screen under "Holdings". However, on the OPAC search result list, they are shown as "Available for loan at ...", after Availability. This causes confusion whether such item is actually ready for loan or still being processed! Now I have been trying to a few options, but none seems to have worked on the search result list: 1. To show description for the "PROC" status ("In processing" in our case) instead of "Available for loan at ..."; or 2. Totally remove/hide "Availability" detail. I haven even tried to assign these items to our Technical Services branch under "Current Location" (while assigned to correct branch for "Permanent Location"). However, availability message still use permanent instead of current location regardless. P.S. Unfortunately "check-in" function would not change status for "Not for loan" (it shouldn't be anyway), otherwise, I would have assigned a status under "Not for loan" instead of "Shelf location" instead to solve this confusion! Looking forward to your comments or suggestions.

Upgrade Problems
by Joel Ewy 05 May '14

05 May '14

Greetings, I administer a Koha server for a small church library (and am going to set it up for another), and I'm only called in to work on it a few times a year, when there are problems. It was first set up in 2007 and has been upgraded a couple times since then. Each time has been a struggle to get it back online. I'd like a little better understanding of how all the pieces work together so I can get it working again. Until last week the server was running under Ubuntu 10.04. After replacing a faulty video card, I decided to run the operating system updates that had not been installed since my last visit. Somehow this broke Koha, so I took the opportunity to upgrade to 12.04, having seen on the other machine that I'm working on that the Koha Debian packages aren't happy with 14.04 yet. The OS upgrade went well, but Koha was still having problems. Specifically, no search results were being returned, and when I tried to update the database and rebuild the Zebra index I was getting errors that wouldn't let me proceed. I followed the instructions at: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Moving_an_installation_from_a_regular_i… and imported a backup of the database into a new instance. I can now run the programs to update the database schema and rebuild the Zebra index, but only using sudo, which I take it mangles the permissions for Zebra. Also, now I can't log into the administrative intranet. I copied the username and password from my old koha-conf.xml to the new one, and that had been working until I created a new instance. The username and password I had used before don't work now. So here are my questions: 1. It's unclear to me what user account I'm supposed to be using to rebuild the Zebra index. I have an Ubuntu user called 'koha' that was inherited from 10.04, and when I created a new instance, another user 'bcmckoha14' was created. Am I supposed to be running the Zebra index rebuild as one of those users? I can 'su' to these accounts, but when I try to rebuild the index, it prompts me for a sudo password and then complains that those user accounts are not sudoers (which of course they shouldn't be.) So just how exactly is this supposed to be accomplished? 2. Where are Koha admin authentication failures logged? I assume that every time I fail to log in to localhost:8080 that should be logged somewhere. Knowing where might set me on the trail of why this is now failing. 3. I have tried reinstalling Zebra, and it grabs a password I had created for the kohaadmin account from somewhere and inserts it into its own otherwise fresh config files. What are the Zebra username and password supposed to authenticate against? A user account on the system? A MySQL user? Where and when is this created, and how can I fix it now that it's goofed up? Any help would be much appreciated. Joel Ewy

Looking for help with a report
by Steven Nickerson 02 May '14

02 May '14

Is there someone who can provide the SQL for me for a report that simply lists the itemnumber, barcode, and itemcallnumber for all items of a given Item Type. I'd like the report to prompt (with a pull-down) the list of all Item Types I have so that I can select it to report on. I think this should be easy but for some reason I can't get the pull-down list to populate with anything at all. THANKS! Steve

Customizing the intranet
by schnydszch 01 May '14

Hello Koha community! I will be implementing in our library having this in MARC field 937$a the Encoders, the one who entered the biblio records, 937$b Editor and 937$c Approving person (the head cataloger who approves if the bibliographic records are Okay). Although logs can be seen who added, modified, deleted certain records, our Head Cataloger does not have access to this, and she wouldn't mind going through this motions, I do the reporting for this. Now, I want to show this fields in the intranet details view, but I don't want to use the XSLTs, please see the image here: <http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/file/n5796528/for_koha_question.jpg> I have actually only modified the detail.tt in /usr/share/koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/catalogue/detail.tt. I added the following: <li><strong>Encoder: </strong> SELECT ExtractValue(biblioitems.marcxml, '//datafield[@tag="937"]/subfield[@code="a"]') FROM biblioitems WHERE biblioitems.biblionumber=[% biblionumber %] </li> As this gives me the data for the encoder, but I don't know where the mysql query is supposed to be and what variables to call and others. Can somebody lead me on how to do what I wanted to do? We're using Koha Pi in a Debian 6.x server. Thanks and cheers! -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Customizing-the-intranet-tp5796528.html Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
