I liked your idea, it made sense. I found the only difference in items was cn_source and itype. However, changing these does not solve my problem. Alas. I tried and failed. But it hasn't all been in vain. Playing around I noticed that the Edit Items radio button (from the Details page) returns this url; http://debian:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/additem.pl?biblionumber=4796 (I cannot really do anything on this page, except deleting the item) and the route through the barcode from the Details page brings me to Item Details to edit Items (the one under the barcode, not the radio button) returns this url; http://debian:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/additem.pl?op=edititem&biblionumber=4796&itemnumber=4796 But on this page I have an "Edit item #4796" I still cannot do anything with the existing item, except delete it, but all the needed fields are present below it, and clicking on save changes will work. Also still wondering; where does it get the itype information? I am not yet pulling my hair out, but it's not far away... So close, but yet so far, sigh Thanks for all your help, Marty --- On Thu, 3/11/10, Owen Leonard <oleonard@myacpl.org> wrote: From: Owen Leonard <oleonard@myacpl.org> Subject: Re: [Koha] no item type and Not Renewable To: "Marty" <ontariowolf64@yahoo.com> Cc: "koha koha" <koha@lists.katipo.co.nz> Received: Thursday, March 11, 2010, 8:22 AM
Now I have 2 lines with items showing at the top of the page. I can delete the first one (which is wrong anyway), and after doing a rebuild_zebra -b -w it all shows up fine and working.
So the item which *doesn't* work is one which you imported into Koha? If the duplicate created by Koha works (can be placed on hold) then it sounds like there must be some difference between the two which you could discern. I would query the items table for the data on the original and the duplicate and see how they differ. You might be able to do a bulk update on the existing items without doing your duplication process. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org __________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
