No patron categories in Munich
Dear List I hope this find you well. I am excited to join the Koha sphere! I am writing from Munich (Germany) and joined the list yesterday in view of the task ahead - creating a new catalogue for our institute library. I have little experience and need all the help I can get. Luckily I am not alone in the endeavour: our IT team have set up the Linux server and I will be able to involve professional help when migrating our old Allegro-C records into Koha. Still, some things I would like to do myself but progress instantly fell flat because I could not define patron categories in Koha version 16.05.03.000. I noticed that I am not alone in this predicament (Bugzilla Bug 17069), and read that a solution may be forthcoming after November. I wonder what I should do now. Should I just proceed as the database administrative user, or will that limit what I can do with the programme? Or is there a fix? Benjamin Rokseth proposed one (Bugzilla Bug 17069 Comment 1) but I am unable to replicate this. Did I miss any other easy solution? Thanks for reading this and best wishes from the Octoberfest Frans van Koppen
Hi Frans, Welcome to the Koha community! The patch on bug 17069 fixes a bug added by bug 6906, which is not in 16.05. So you should not need it. What is the error? You can also try the latest 16.05.04 Regards, Jonathan 2016-09-29 17:54 GMT+02:00 Frans van Koppen <F.van.Koppen@assyr.fak12.uni-muenchen.de>:

First, welcome to Koha! On http://www.koha-de.org/wiki/Koha/Demo-Installationen I looked for a Koha demo installation running 16.05.03 - the one by Turo Technology is currently down, but I found one running 16.05.04 by Orex: http://intra1.orex.es/ (user name and password are both "admin") I was able to create a new patron category there without experiencing any problems. What are you exactly doing when you're trying to create one? What exactly does happen when it fails? Best wishes, Michael -- Geschäftsführer · Diplombibliothekar BBS, Informatiker eidg.
