Re: [Koha] Koha Digest, Vol 116, Issue 4
Dear all, We have a KOHA version 3.8 installation in a special library located in Nigeria. The original installation was offline. The installation server now has a live IP and now real time online. When we logged in to the server online using the IP address, the OPAC is available but the Admin Login page is not available. We need to carry out online cataloguing and other admin functions remotely, what can we do. Thanking you in advance for helpful tips. Regards, Benedict.

While I agree that it is easier to update barcodes before hand, we had some libraries do this after the fact so I put together a very simple Koha plugin to allow you to scan an item's barcode, then scan a new barcode and have it changed in the system.

Biblionumber is internal; you don't have to provide it.
At a gut-feeling level, I would strongly support changing barcodes before you import.

Greetings,
If you are merely importing MARC records, then why not batch update them in MARC Edit first, before importing into Koha?

I'm not sure what functionality in MARC Edit would pre-append something
to
the barcode like SITEA, SITEB, SITEC, etc., but I'm pretty sure that functionality exists.

Nick you should share that here: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_plugins until we have a better place to share plugins.

And I must admit that "google is getting my goat." Woodpeckering may be a fact of modern life, but at several million entries per day, there's got to be a limit.
Use robots.txt to slow down its crawl rate. Some crawlers don't obey that, but google does.

When you say "not available", what do you mean exactly? If you are using the IP address from the outside, you will need to have the admin interface on a different port. If it is already on a different port, then you will need to configure your external firewall to allow connections inward on that port. The recommended way (because nobody likes memorising IP addresses) is to have two hostnames, library.organisation.com and libraryadmin.organisation.com for example, and to set up the apache configuration (using the "ServerName" directive) to respond to these appropriately. This is called a name-based virtual host in Apache. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF
