Re: [Koha] Biblionumber and barcode incremented many times: please help

Hi, Vimal: days ago we experimented something similar, with records duplicated. We discovered that a cataloguer was pasting data containing carriage returns into input fields, causing the submitting of the form. Koha (3.12.5) created more than one bib record. Checking the controlfield 005 for the time of these events was useful to understand the problem, since they had exactly the same value. HTH.

Unexpected behavior in 3.14 bootstrap OPAC User login
by Elaine Bradtke 09 Feb '14

09 Feb '14

A mystery: We recently implemented the bootstrap OPAC theme in our production site and updated the system to 3.14.2. The IT half of the team (Doug Kingston) mentioned that since we started using bootstrap he is sent to an unexpected screen in the OPAC. The home screen is the same, but after a very short pause he is sent to a screen that says Welcome Doug Kingston. We have user logins disabled on the OPAC, and he never saw the login box, it just did it automatically and invisibly (he was logged into the Admin. site at the time). But that's not the only mystery. It only happens to him, not to me. We both have Superlibrarian status, we're running the same OS (X 10.9.1) on our nearly identical laptops, we're using the same browser (Chrome). . . I thought it might be because I have DoNotTrackMe running in my browser. But I tested it on another instance of Chrome without DoNotTrackMe running (on a virtual machine running XP) and it still doesn't log me into the OPAC. I also tried it on Firefox, but in either case I can't get it to replicate what it does for Doug. He suspects it has something to do with cookies, but hasn't had a chance to delve any deeper into the problem other than to verify that it doesn't happen in an incognito window. Another variable may be auto login features in Chrome and LastPass. If Doug turns off LastPass, the auto login stops (though it never happens on my computer in either browser with LastPass turned on). The library staff has gone home for the day, so I don't know if any of them has noticed this quirk. The response to the new theme has been otherwise quite positive. I'm tempted to take the precaution of switching the theme back to prog, on the extremely remote chance that there's an underlying security issue somewhere. Thoughts, comments, has anyone else seen this happen? -- Elaine Bradtke Data Wrangler VWML English Folk Dance and Song Society | http://www.efdss.org Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent's Park Road, London NW1 7AY Tel +44 (0) 20 7485 2206 (This number is for the English Folk Dance and Song Society in London, England.

Linking the bibliographic record to Wikipedia
by Haik Zargaryan 08 Feb '14

08 Feb '14

Dear list, I know that koha has a feature to link the biblio record to the authority record by creating a "magnifying glass" icon near the author name. Once you click the icon, which is actually a link, the authority record is opened. Furthermore, you can link the authority record to Wikipedia. I would like to know whether koha has a feature to add an icon (similar o the aforementioned one) that links the bibliographic record's authot to the respective Wikipedia article. If no, are there plans to develop such a feature in the future releases? Thanks in advance, haik.
