Item type does not show in OPAC
Hello All, Well done for the brilliant work being done on koha. I have installed 2.0.1rc1 on redhat 9.1. i have the following problem 1. itemtype does not show up in OPAC search. i also installed the windows version of koha on XP and found out the same thing occured. i have used marc check in parameters and everything was ok. 2. i want to use lccn rather than dewey. how do i remove dewey from the OPAC search and how do i set the koha system to use lccn? i have currently mapped marc field 050 to bibloitems.classification. am i correct? do i need to do more things? in the windows version i found this mapped to 852. 3. also in the mark links mapping i found that some lib column have NR. does this have any special meaning? 4. i have tried 2.1.3 but this had too many errors with redhat 9. any recommended distro for this version? i am not a librarian but i am about to do a koha install for 2 libraries here in Nigeria. thanks ===== Olugbenga Adara MCP Consultant, 3om Services, 75, Lebanon Street, Dugbe, Ibadan, Nigeria.

This alone probably means that you will need 2.1 or 2.2 at least. I do not plan making a change this large during the 2.0.x series. You may find some way of hacking it in, but I do not recommend it. The bug report is http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=498 2.1 developers, will 2.2 support different call number systems? -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and not of any group I know Creative copyleft computing - http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ Unsolicited attachments to the pipex address deleted Will HLF fund tree-killings? http://www.thewalks.co.uk/
Monday, November 8, 2004 12:12 CST Greetings, Olugbenga Adara, Since the programmer folk have tackled your more difficult technical questions (especially with the important note on your question 2), I thought I could handle question 3. NR = Not Repeating. This is standard Library of Congress/et al. notation for a field that can occur only once in a valid MARC record. Hope that helps a bit. Good luck with your installations.

Hello All,
Well done for the brilliant work being done on koha. I have installed 2.0.1rc1 on redhat 9.1.
i have the following problem
1. itemtype does not show up in OPAC search. i also installed the windows version of koha on XP and found out the same thing occured. i have used marc check in parameters and everything was ok.
2. i want to use lccn rather than dewey. how do i remove dewey from the OPAC search and how do i set the koha system to use lccn? i have currently mapped marc field 050 to bibloitems.classification. am i correct? do i need to do more things? in the windows version i found this mapped to 852.
3. also in the mark links mapping i found that some lib column have NR. does this have any special meaning?
4. i have tried 2.1.3 but this had too many errors with redhat 9. any recommended distro for this version?
i am not a librarian but i am about to do a koha install for 2 libraries here in Nigeria.
thanks

Hello all, Thanks to every one who responded to my questions. i actually installed koha at the Hezekiah Oluwasanmi Library of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria today. They have a collection well in excess of 30,000 items and automating for the first time. the installation went well without errors on rh 9.1 i imported some biblio records from the lpi.mrc marc record kindly made available by someone on this list, but on the opac search result page the book is found, but without item type showing. i guess this problem may be similar to the post by mike re-v (no item count 2.0.1). please could someone give me a pointer to what may be happening? and how solve it? Also what is the best method for a library freshly automating to get records into koha (30,000+). given the fact that the internet connection at the library is flaky. thanks ===== Olugbenga Adara MCP Consultant, 3om Services, 75, Lebanon Street, Dugbe, Ibadan, Nigeria.

Hi Olugbenga I'm not sure if you have had this answered already, but you need to go into your system preferences and setup the itemtypes to match the ones coming accross from your old system. So if you have itemtypes that are BK = Book Set up one the same and the itemtype will display.

Olugbenga, I think I mentioned it previously, use aurox 10.0.1a version for the new version of koha. Redhat has messed around with some files and libraries in order to ensure that you pay for their licenses. Since Aurox is the fedora 1.0 core that is what you would use to set up webmin which you would use to administer the box. Also do not use RPM's, use the tar.gz file, it installs perfectly with tar -zxvf, then reset your directory name (if you wish) and proceed with the install. gerry

It means "Not Repeatable" -- smoe MARC tags can be repeated as often as needed to collect all the information needed for a complete record, others ("NR") can be used only once in each record. -- Stephen Hedges Skemotah Solutions, USA www.skemotah.com -- shedges@skemotah.com
