Alright, so after applying the fixes that worked on the laptop to the server, I can access the records in OPAC by clicking the link in the coverflow. I cannot get it to appear if I do a search when the search engine is set to Elasticsearch. Once I change it to Zebra, the search works. My MARC bibliographic framework test shows no errors in the MARC parameters table. On the other hand, I find that when I click on the authors, I get "No results found" or if I click on the loupe next to their name, I get " This authority is not used in any records." Clicking on "Link authorities automatically" brings up a note that the authorities are missing and have been created, but repeating an author search after that still brings up no results. Not sure how to correct that. I thought I might find some answers in the "About Koha" page, but that still brings up a 500 error.

I keep wondering if your indexing configuration might be wrong." I'm pretty sure I chose MARC21 during the web installation, and I can see what my indexing configuration looks like though I wouldn't be able to tell if there's something wrong with it. I'd appreciate any advice on correcting it as i tis. Now that I'm back at work, I can go through the same process I did with the old laptop instance and see if I can replicate the solution. Any corrections to the indexing configuration I would do to the work server instance.

But: UNIMARC expects the biblionumber in 001, I think. I keep wondering if your indexing configuration might be wrong. If you don't search for keyword, but select title or author as search option - do you find what you are looking for? Checking the koha-conf.xml for the URLs to indexing configuration would help to show if I am right or wrong. Hope this helps, Katrin On 04.05.23 16:01, library@ssst.edu.ba wrote:
Sucess!! I did some digging into the global settings for "controlnumber" to see if I'd missed any preferences when I reinstalled this instance, and it turned out that I needed to set the following:
UseControlNumber to Use record control number ($w subfields) and control number (001) for linking of bibliographic records.
under "Display", and
autoControlNumber Control Number (001) is generated as biblionumber
under "Record structure".
I can now see the record by adding the appropriate biblionumber at the end of the URL, which was my workaround, but also by searching for the title, which I wanted to do.
(But I also remember reading something about this not being a good choice if you have serials and if you are planning to catalog articles. I will need to leave this for some other time though, after I've added this year's records - the number is low enough that I can redo them in Koha - and finally received and prepared the export from the old system that I will then need to import.)
Next step is trying to find a way to have a cover show up in the coverflow plugin, because it's not getting picked up by Google. I assume I will have to dig into how to upload my own cover that can be used for all the locally published or old books that Google doesn't have.

.... and when I create a new record, there is no 001. It doesn't exist, and I don't know how to add it from here. Why doesn't it appear for manual cataloging, and it's there when I import a record???....
Make sure 001 is visible in the editor for the framework you are using (Administration > Catalog > MARC bibliographic framework > [the framework you are using] - for visibility, make sure Editor is ticked).
I'm not a cataloguer, so I don't have an answer for your question, .....
Maybe the Library of Congress info for MARC21 001 will help (or not...) https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd001.html
