This addressed the problem by changing the barcode autogeneration to incremental. It also fixed a label printing problem I was having. The pdf generator was generating errors because of the home branch style barcodes. I would really prefer to use the branch style though, so I hope that functionality will be restored in the future. In the meantime it should probably be removed as a choice since it is unreliable. From: Joe Atzberger [mailto:ohiocore@gmail.com] Subject: Re: [Koha] Barcode not being generated in new MARC records Bruce -- All forms of barcode autogeneration except incremental are problematic. I strongly recommend against using them. "Home branch" or "hbyymmincr" style barcodes, in particular, are not implemented in a widely applicable way. It should not be used by multi-branch libraries, or libraries with more than 9999 items, or libraries with non-4-character branch codes, or libraries with digits or underscores in their branch codes... or basically anyone. The query that obtains the next valid barcode for hbyymmincr is: $query = "SELECT MAX(CAST(SUBSTRING(barcode,7,4) AS signed)) FROM items WHERE barcode REGEXP ?"; my $sth=$dbh->prepare($query); $sth->execute("^[a-zA-Z]{1,}$year"); In this case, year would be "08", but you can see the flaws in this query result in the extreme limitations above. You can print the branch and year directly on the barcode stickers and spine labels you generate. That info does not need to be part of the barcode itself. --Joe Atzberger, LibLime On Mon, Sep 1, 2008 at 11:31 PM, Bruce Raymond <braymond@regisjesuit.com> wrote: Installation details: Koha 3.0 stable. Setting details: Automatic barcode generation using the home branch method is turned on. The automatic barcode generating has been working ok until a few days ago. Now no barcode is being generated. The automatic setting is still set on. Any suggestion about how to troubleshoot this problem? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Barcode-not-being-generated-in-new-MARC-records-tp 19263641p19263641.html
