Will the insanity ever end? What about the barcode? - Smile
And of course the answer is no. Not as long as I am a network engineer, systems administrator, desktop support specialist or helpdesk specialist - there always will be bugs and incompatibilties. As the library has just upgraded to Koha 3.14, I am stamping out issues which thankfully I've had some superb help from the Koha List. One of the peculiar issues has been that whenever the barcode readers scan a book, there is a message that the barcode does not exist. Whenever the book barcode is typed in however, the book can be checked out or in. I had suspected that the return or enter code on the barcode was not being recognized correctly by Koha, but then a return or enter is a return or enter and should work. I found a single item on the web that indicated that this is being caused by the fact that the barcode is sending the form information before the form is complete. The article talked about revising the form setup in the test database. Is there an update to fix this problem and if so can anyone tell me how to get the fix or patch Koha? If there is not an update can anyone tell me how to fix the issue? If someone could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate. Phillip

What is the item you found? Also, can you change the settings of your scanner? It may be that there is something there that could help. What browser are you using? -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF
