You may try to run the zebra rebuild command manual, if still not showing you need to be sure to change "OpacSuppression" to Don't hide, you should find it under: Home › Administration › System preferences › Cataloging preferences Note: zebra rebuild command is " /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r -v -w " Thanks & Best Regards, Mohammed Nashbat Academic Resource Librarian Alfaisal University -----Original Message----- From: Koha [mailto:koha-bounces@lists.katipo.co.nz] On Behalf Of Frederic Edmont Sent: Monday, June 02, 2014 11:14 AM To: Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: [Koha] Can't import to catalogue Hello, I'm new to Koha and I haven't been able to import biblio in the catalog for a while now. Here is what I've done: I imported biblios using a .mrc file but those biblios only show up in the reservoir in the cataloguing search. Then I supposed I had to create 1 item for each biblio but still, searching in the catalogue finds nothing. Even after several days zebra doesn't update its database (Second question how can I update database automatically whenever I add a biblio). Finally, I used the command line koha-rebuild-zebra and... Miracle items are in the catalogue searching with keyword BUT those are empty: there is no data in it as if it didn't use biblios to fill them. Here are my questions: 1. Is it possible to show biblios instead of items ine the catalogue search? or automatically create one item of each? 2. how can I update database automatically whenever I add a biblio? Wiki says it's done every 20mins or so but after one week mine doesn't seem to work that way. 3.Most important: Why are my items empty??? when i try to modify them it either redirect me to a new item creation page or to an error page about additem.pl (Can't call method "fields" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/cataloguing/additem.pl line 647.) Hope someone can help me.

That's normal. Have you followed the manual guide from here: http://manual.koha-community.org/3.16/en/catalogtools.html#stagemarc it tells you how to import them into the catalogue.

2. how can I update database automatically whenever I add a biblio? Wiki says it's done every 20mins or so but after one week mine doesn't seem to work that way.

It happens every 5 minutes by default, I think. Are you sure you're not confusing reservoir records with catalogue records? -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF
