Backing up Koha's application
by SlyzertVoltrond 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

Hello, How do I go about backing up my Koha system(just the application)? For in case the upgrade process ran into problems and the system is unusable because of it, I can just revert back to the old version. Would simply copying over the directory which Koha resides to some place and later put it back in if necessary be sufficient?

I've tried to adapt others but without any luck. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you, Kerrie Stevens

Does anyone use the "Overdues with fines" report?
by Kyle Hall 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

Hello all, I'm working on rewriting Koha's accounting system, and I'm looking to find out if anyone is currently using the "Overdues with fines" report ( aka circ/branchoverdues.pl ). The reason I ask this is because there is a lot of code I will need to add in order to support just this report, and it would be silly to do so if nobody is actively using it. Conversely, removing the report would simplify some underlying parts of Koha, which makes for a less bug-prone Koha! Please let me know!

Hi Kyle Oamaru Library does not use this 'Overdues with fines' option in Circulation. We use a 'report', if we want a list of borrowers with money on their card. When I looked at this report, it is not user friendly for me, why:- - columns do not sort (currently in Borrower Surname order) - can not select list by Branch (Waitaki has one other library on koha) - can not download list Also wondering what this list is good for. cheers Maxine Technical Services and Systems Administrator Waitaki District Libraries -----Original Message----- From: koha-bounces(a)lists.katipo.co.nz [mailto:koha-bounces@lists.katipo.co.nz] On Behalf Of koha-request(a)lists.katipo.co.nz Sent: Tuesday, 19 November 2013 12:00 p.m. To: koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: Koha Digest, Vol 97, Issue 32 Send Koha mailing list submissions to koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to koha-request(a)lists.katipo.co.nz You can reach the person managing the list at koha-owner(a)lists.katipo.co.nz When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Koha digest..."

I have 10 attributes per excel tuple. Two attributes (the 100 and 245 fields) map correctly in the underlying MARC21 data, but each of the 952 field are imported as separate tuples instead of all into the first tuple. Correspondingly, I get eight individual items created, each only one of the 952 attributes. I found that during mapping the excel data into the appropriate 952 fields, MarcEdit 5.9 creates a separate 952 entry for each individual attribute. These separate 952 items are apparently is imported as separate books rather than a single book. I speculate that creating a single 952 cell and populating the data with the appropriate MARC data delimiters ($a, $b ...) would solve this problem, but that seems suboptimal on a large scale import.

Just finished Koha server - now... how to find database with barcodes for books
by Allyn Baskerville 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

Is there a centralized barcode repository for books, to where we can search for a title, author, etc., and import that information directly into Koha and print off the labels to place on the books? I see how this can be done manually, but certainly there is a quicker way to do this. I've gone through the initial setup and downloaded the 3of9 font (http://www.barcodesinc.com/free-barcode-font/) but I'm not sure exactly what to do next to make the next process quicker. Thanks

Regarding Cataloging
by rocky bang 19 Nov '13

19 Nov '13

Hi koha, I have koha 3.08 and facing problems in cataloging modules. I have cataloged records in koha using excel file being converted into marc file and then uploaded in koha. It was uploaded successfully and now i have to make some changes in the Catalogued item and now i don't have the excel file which i have migrated earlier into marc. As editing single record one by one is a tedious job. So is there any way to take back the excel file from koha with all the fields which i have entered. Thanks in advance.

Re: [Koha] Rearranging patron page
by David Roberts 19 Nov '13

19 Nov '13

You need to be a bit cautious about rearranging the add new patron page - we found out (just last week actually!), that Koha appears to like to get the data from the registration form in a certain order. If the library management block is before the patron identity block, you won't be able to add any new users. That may not be true for all versions of the software, so your mileage may vary.
