Help with Serial Prediction Pattern
Hi all, I need some help getting a serial to work. The pattern goes like this: vol. 4, no. 1, iss. 796 vol. 4, no. 2, iss. 797 vol. 4, no. 3, iss. 798 vol. 4, no. 4, iss. 799 vol. 4, no. 5, iss. 800 vol. 4, no. 6, iss. 801 vol. 5, no. 1, iss. 802 vol. 5, no. 2, iss. 803 vol. 5, no. 3, iss. 804 vol. 5, no. 4, iss. 805 vol. 5, no. 5, iss. 806 vol. 5, no. 6, iss. 807 Where the volume changes once a year. The issues arrive irregularly throughout the year. I set up the subscription like this : http://screencast.com/t/rtBUMABdE and this: http://screencast.com/t/kW5UcMHF But when I generate serials I get the volume rolling over after number 2: http://screencast.com/t/mG8wS4IX and http://screencast.com/t/e5zfnqkY (ignore the missing dates that's cause I didn't actually receive them). So my question is - what does everyone thing I need to change to get the volume to roll over after 6 instead of after 1? Thanks in advance! Nicole
Hi Nicole, Your "inner counters" look wrong. Set "O" and it should work. You have to set up the inner counter only when you start receiving in the middle of a cycle. Here is how the inner counter works with your example : inner counter = 0
vol. 4, no. 1, iss. 796
inner counter = 1
vol. 4, no. 2, iss. 797
inner counter = 2
vol. 4, no. 3, iss. 798
inner counter = 3
vol. 4, no. 4, iss. 799
inner counter = 4
vol. 4, no. 5, iss. 800
inner counter = 5
vol. 4, no. 6, iss. 801
inner counter = 0
vol. 5, no. 1, iss. 802
inner counter = 1
vol. 5, no. 2, iss. 803
inner counter = 2
vol. 5, no. 3, iss. 804
inner counter = 3
vol. 5, no. 4, iss. 805
inner counter = 4
vol. 5, no. 5, iss. 806
inner counter = 5
vol. 5, no. 6, iss. 807
So if, the first issue to receive is "vol. 4, no. 1, iss. 796", you need to set up "inner counter = 0" But if it's "vol. 4, no. 2, iss. 797", the inner counter should be "1". This way koha knows where the "receiving cycle" starts. In that case, Koha will add "1" to the volume after 5 issues because you told Koha to start after 1 issue he would have received if you started at the beginning of the "receiving cycle". Hope it works! ;^) François Le 2013-03-10 21:45, Nicole Engard a écrit :

That was it!! Thank you so very much. How would you explain the inner counter in the manual? I'll need to add that info to help others in the future. Nicole On Sun, Mar 10, 2013 at 5:03 PM, Francois Charbonnier < francois.charbonnier@biblibre.com> wrote:

Actually, I still have a problem - the volume isn't rolling over. So here's what we want: v. 41, no. 3, iss. 302 (first issue using the serials module) v. 41, no. 4, iss. 303 v. 41, no. 5, iss. 304 v. 41, no. 6, iss. 305 v. 41, no. 7, iss. 306 v. 41, no. 8, iss. 307 v. 41, no. 9, iss. 308 v. 42, no. 1, iss. 309 v. 42, no. 2, iss. 310 v. 42, no. 3, iss. 311 v. 42, no. 4, iss. 312 And here are the three images: pattern: http://screencast.com/t/yeDlMhqAu received: http://screencast.com/t/CkI0VIfMa3S more received: http://screencast.com/t/CecKl1cs On Tue, Mar 12, 2013 at 9:40 AM, Francois Charbonnier < francois.charbonnier@biblibre.com> wrote:
