the first of my non tech questions - probably requiring a technical answer!
Hi All, I have heaps of questions but I will reign back my enthusiasm and put one question per email. I have version to 3.02.06. I would like to use the label creator to create batches of spine labels. It works fine but pulls call number from the itemcallnumber field and doesn't format it. The text sits on the label in one line - eg. BUL FUL 2011 - too wide for book spines and too small and difficult to read if I reduce the font size and stick it on the book spine sideways. I would like to break the call number up into three lines so the three elements of the call number can be read from top to bottom. eg. BUL FUL 2011 Our collection was totally lost in the January floods and I'm looking to replace the collection in the next few months. Getting this feature working right would be a big time saver. Currently I'm manually typing in the call numbers.

Hi All,
Hi Mandy
I have heaps of questions but I will reign back my enthusiasm and put one question per email.
I have version to 3.02.06. I would like to use the label creator to create batches of spine labels. It works fine but pulls call number from the itemcallnumber field and doesn't format it. The text sits on the label in one line - eg. BUL FUL 2011 - too wide for book spines and too small and difficult to read if I reduce the font size and stick it on the book spine sideways. I would like to break the call number up into three lines so the three elements of the call number can be read from top to bottom.
eg. BUL FUL 2011
Our collection was totally lost in the January floods and I'm looking to replace the collection in the next few months. Getting this feature working right would be a big time saver. Currently I'm manually typing in the call numbers.
Thanks heaps,
There is no way to do that in Koha 3.2.6 without editing some code I am afraid. One option is to look into using KBarcode http://www.kbarcode.net/ and using the reports tool to export the data to load into it. Or maybe someone smarter than me can think of a way to do it within Koha Chris

Actually, there is no good reason that number should not split correctly as there is a splitting algorithm to handle splitting non-standard call numbers based on spaces [1]. Alternately, you can add a comment to bug 2500[2] including an example of the desired call number both unsplit and split with the hopes that someone will add an algorithm for it.

Someone else has sent an answer, but another small metadata plea from me: please put a descriptive subject line like "itemcallnumber formatting in label creator" and don't quote the whole digest because pages like http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/the-first-of-my-non-tech-questions-probabl... (and similar ones on other sites that put this email on the web) aren't as helpful to new users as they could be!
