heading subfields mismatch between auth and bib records using the thesaurus plugin
by Fabio T. 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

Hello everyone! There are some cases where a mismatch between the authority heading subfields and the receiving bibliographic ones could happen. This occurs when enabling the thesaurus plugin for bibliographic fields who are not designed as main/added entry fields, either in MARC21 and UNIMARC instances; I will bring one example each. UNIMARC: 410$t set to receive the heading of an authority record from a book series authority index. When choosing the authority record from the thesaurus plugin search results, the authority heading is placed in 410$a instead of 410$t. MARC21: 260$b set to receive the heading of an authority record from a publisher authority index. When choosing the authority record from the thesaurus plugin search results, the authority heading is placed in 260$a instead of 260$b. I'd like to exchange some ideas on this topic, with librarians and developers along (hence the post in the main list). Do you use any workaround ("redirecting" the output coming from the plugin, changing the authority heading subfields to reflect the bibliographic ones...?)? Is it made this way by design (expected behaviour), or would it make sense to change the code to handle these cases? Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts!

Location and item information (Marc 952) from Koha 2.x to 3.14
by Giuseppe Angilella 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

Hi, I'm in the progress of updating my Koha system here from 2.x to 3.14 (a giant leap, seemingly!) After using the built-in migration scripts and fixing many local inconsistencies, I am left with the Koha-to-Marc mapping of the subfields in the 952 tab (Location and item information). I am keeping Koha 2.x Marc framework as a default, and using Koha 3.14 Marc framework to catalogue all new biblios and items. I plan to edit all old biblios (and items) gradually and individually, change them into the new framework, and fill in the missing fields. However, although this seems to work with biblio records, some inconsistencies seem to remain with existing items. After editing and changing framework for a given biblio, I can only edit existing items through the "barcode" link. The framework structure for tag 952 in Koha 3.14 then appears (with most fields blank, of course), and the itemnumber showing in the 952.u subfield, now reserved for the Uniform Resource Identifier. Other values are also assigned to wrong fields, both in the intranet form for cataloguing and in the Opac. I would expect that filling the (new) fields correctly and saving would result in an updated item, now belonging to and complying with the (new) framework. In particular, I would expect that a further attempt at editing the same item would show the correct values filling the appropriate fields. But this is not the case: even though I can check (via direct access to the mysql database) that any modification has indeed taken place as desired, it seems as if the item is still interpreting those values as corresponding to fields arranged as in the old Marc framework. (The bibliographic framework test returns OK, with all the columns in the items table mapped to the 952 subfields as in the "new" framework.) On the other hand, items belonging to biblio records still in the default (old) framework are displayed correctly. Is the Marc framework only specific to biblio records? Shouldn't it be possible to have items belonging to different frameworks? Can two frameworks with different Koha-to-Marc mappings in the 952 tag, as in my case, coexist? Any comment and hopefully help would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks, Giuseppe.

Re: [Koha] koha jquery to hide 'Title Notes'
by Stefano Bargioni 20 Feb '14

Hi, your solution is not language independent. Before adding it to the jQuery Library, please try $(document).ready(function(){ $("#ui-id-2").hide(); }); or something similar. HTH.

Hello koha community! I am trying to make the analytics work in my Koha 3.14.x debian server.

The lyrics are sung in a way that they almost sound like they are spoken, striking an emotional chord when Aguilar speaks directly to prodigal children then ends the song with a call for the them to ask for forgiveness and total understanding from their parents.

Using Koha without barcodes
by Domesjö, Lars L 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Hello! I've been checking out Koha for a customer and it's looking really good so far. The customer isn't using a barcodescanner today though and doesn't seem to want to start using one either. From what I can tell Koha is pretty built around using barcodes? You can't simply lookup a book by name and then directly lend it to a patron by name? Thanks in advance! /Lars

Overdue email configuration
by Phillip Ponchot 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Recently, I had to change the the ip address of the koha server and thought I had everything changed over. I was notified that the patrons are not getting their overdue notices via email, so there has to be some residual presence of the old ip address which of course is not working. Does anyone know where the outgoing email configuation for overdue books would be set for koha. We are running a very old version of Koha 3.0. Thanks, Phillip
