[Koha] Kia ora tatou Hello everyone

[gsl]

Jos:

Congratulations on your (in progress?) migration. I'm sure that very quickly you will get some responses to your question about documenting your search experiences.

I'm just a little curious about your library--your country (Kia ora tatou=maori, so NZ I presume) and city if you'd care to share that. The community is always interested in places Koha is being used.

Kia ora tatou Hello everyone

I've just joined the list so I'd like to introduce myself and my project, and
I'd also like to say thanks everyone for all the archive posts that have helped
me in my efforts so far while we are considering migrating from our current
system at our multi-site library.

I came across Koha a while ago when I wondered if there was an open source
alternative to moving to another (unsatisfactory?) commercial system. It was a
long road to get the go-ahead to try Koha out, but here I am with my first rough
build.  I've sorted setups, imported a few marc records, added some patrons,
done some transactions and I *love* it, congratulations Koha community :-)

I also have a question and here's the background: I've been stuck on why the
opac wouldn't search when the staff client was searching fine, and this morning
I fixed it thanks to inspiration from Scott Kushner, Erik Lewis and Chris
Nighswonger's posts ("problem searching in opac"), plus a heap of luck stumbling
across the right preference while looking for something else entirely: in the
same way as having 'OpacSuppression' ON causes opac all searches to fail if you
don't have any suppressed bibs, having 'hidelostitems' ON causes all opac
searches to fail if you don't have any items marked as lost.

So would it be useful to include something to this effect in the manual under
'hidelostitems'?  If so, who do I submit it to?

Jos
