inventory - use barcode file - not working
Under Tools | Inventory/Stocktaking we want to make a go of the option on the right of the screen: "Use a barcode file." http://www.[base url]/cgi-bin/koha/tools/inventory.pl 1) I haven't found documentation to state the format of the file, i.e. CSV, TXT (comma separated or TAB?). 2) I've tried one barcode for testing purposes, but have not been successful getting an updated Date Last Seen. When I click Submit, the screen flickers, the designated barcode.txt file disappears, and the date I've assigned also disappears. I pull up the biblio/item and no change has been made. Any suggestions? We're in 3.00.01.005.

I just tried a test in our catalog (LLEK). I saved the file as a .txt, put a date last week, and everything worked fine. I thought I had tested this in the past (pre-LLEK) and it all worked then too. Kathy At 01:38 PM 3/8/2010, Nelson Fredsell wrote:

I just tried a test in our catalog (LLEK). I saved the file as a .txt, put a date last week, and everything worked fine. What version of Koha are you using? I wonder if I could track down the problem by looking at the *.pl script, or the code behind the Submit button, although I'm not sure where to find this info... I'm guessing that there's an sql UPDATE query, than isn't working for some reason. Thanks!

I believe there was a bug that has since been fixed in later releases. This sounds like something I too had an issue with. Can someone confirm for me that this has been fixed in the latest release? Thanks Nicole On Tue, Mar 9, 2010 at 9:52 AM, Nelson Fredsell <nelson@cfce.org.za> wrote:
