"Unlocking" the 100$a cataloging-field
by le-grex 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

Me again, hello, i try to add a own framework for our needs here, since almost nobody knows about the MARC Things and so on and i want to make it easier for them. But the 100$a authors field is locked, i can't fill something in. So i went to Administration, System Parameters, and changed BiblioAddsAuthorities to "should". But it is still locked. Is there a second location, where i need to change something? Thank you again. grex

Yet another request of changing password and few small others.
by alessandro macuz 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

Hi all, I work for a small company and I was asked to take care of some administrative tasks in Koha. I have to admit that I'm pretty new to Koha and I have some questions. I inherited the installation and the mysql database from the previous person who administered the DB. The authentication is against the AD and as to itself it works fine although we get an error on the fact that for Koha is not possible to add new members "AddMember failed at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Auth_with_ldap_pm" at line 169 I can access the mysql db without any problem and in the DB I see there are 2 users, (who left the company) with, I guess, the hash of their passwords since I don't think passwords are stored in clear. Now we have new books to add but basically no valid user to access the DB. Here my questions: 1) if the authentication fails against the Active Directory, is the fallback to local DB automatic or do I have to conigure somewhere? 2) how can I reset the password of any of those two users in the mysql DB? I don't have access to the Koha web interface; 3) is there a way to administer local users via the mysql interface? Would be good to add a new user while troubleshooting why the add of AD users doesn't work sowe can dd new books into the system. 4) how I can add a Koha administrator account via the mysql interface? I have to admit that I'm bit in a hurry and I tried to through the manual but I felt a bit lost in gathering the right information to solve my problems I wrote above. If someone could help me in recovering this situation or pointing me in the right direction to recover it that will be much appreciated. Thanks, Alex

Catalog Search Slow
by Joel Sasse 10 Mar '14

10 Mar '14

Hello Community, Has anyone else noticed that catalog searches are slower after the 3.12.10 security update a few weeks ago? Other Koha functions are operating normally but catalog searches can be really slow at times when compared with performance before the upgrade.

Koha Architecture, difference between OPAC results and SQL Reports
by Andrew Gordon 10 Mar '14

10 Mar '14

Hello All, I have a rather basic question, but something that has been confusing me for a while as a newcomer to using Koha. When I am trying to do some routine data cleaning I regularly find that the OPAC results often differ from the SQL reports results on what I assume to be the same field. One regular offender here is items.location. The items location in the OPAC is different and often more detailed or complete than the value returned in a report, which may often be blank despite there being a value in the OPAC. So my question is, what are the two different ways that values are being pulled for the OPAC results (staff side, mainly) and the SQL Report side, respectively. Or is this an indication that somehow data has not been entered correctly? Additionally, this is PTFS LibLime Academic Koha, I am assuming that it does not differ greatly from vanilla Koha in this respect. As an afterthought, is there a good source of documentation out there that gives a better idea of the internal workings of Koha, the shape of its data architecture and how it renders data across its many views? So far I can only really find end-user UI instructions. Many thanks, Drew ________________________________________ Andrew Gordon, MSI Systems Librarian Center for the History of Medicine and Public Health New York Academy of Medicine 1216 Fifth Avenue New York, NY, 10029 212.822.7324 http://nyamcenterforhistory.org/

Regex backreferences and MARC modification templates in 3.14
by Jason Sherman 10 Mar '14

10 Mar '14

Hi all, I'm pretty pumped about the marc mod templates, but I have one question. Has anyone been able to use regex backreferences? Or more broadly, is anyone using the mod templates to concatenate values? I'm trying to prepend a value to a subfield, but when I look at the modified marc in the staged records list, I keep getting a literal instead of a backreference. Lets say subfield contains the following: some-old-value If I run a move or copy action against it using regex, I would expect the following expression: s/(.+)/some-new-value--$1/ to result in the following output: some-new-value--some-old-value instead, I get: some-new-value--$1 Note: I've also tried using other capture group notation (\1 \g1) instead of the dollar sign and I still get a literal. Thanks! -- Jason Sherman Systems Librarian University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma 405.574.1340
