[Koha] circulation parameters - patron categories

Wed Nov 25 01:43:05 NZDT 2015

Hello there, 

I need your valuable help. 

I have created different patron categories and I want to add their rights, in relation to days they can borrow an item, the number of items they can borrow and the time of renewals. Unfortunately I have tried to migrate it but I could not find it. 
For example administrative staff can borrow 5 books for a time period 15 days and can renew their books up to three times....... 

Thank you in advance 

Barbara

Dear Ghosh Sir,

Following method will work if your Koha version is older than current old stable version:

To change present koha release to old stable,

Open Koha sources list in any text editor like vi, leafpad, gedit.

*gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/koha.list*
Find which koha release mentioned.
Delete the existing line and add following line,

*echo deb http://debian.koha-community.org/koha
<http://debian.koha-community.org/koha> oldstable main*Add the key in gpg.asc to your APT trusted keys

*wget -O- http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/gpg.asc
<http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/gpg.asc> | sudo apt-key add -* Update software sources

*apt-get update*

*apt-get upgrade*
Regards,

Hello, I'm a librarian in a public library and we recently installed koha
in the library server via a virtual machine using Oracle Virtual-Box and
assigned it a pubic IP, to enable worldwide access of the opac. However,
there has been a lot of Internet fluctuations in the library which has been
inconveniencing the circulation of books making the library staffs to make
use of offline circulation in the busy library. I was asking whether there
is a way to enable private IP inside the organization local network to be
used as a fallback network when the Internet is lost.
Kindly assist

Disclaimer: I have no experience of an "Oracle Virtual-Box"

You say it's on "your" server, I assume inside your building, with either 
WiFi or hard-wired connectivity. You don't say whether you're using Apache 
2.2 or 2.4, but both should work if you just set up suitably enabled 
"sites" (more or less mirrors of what is already working for you 
"publicly") with internal addresses (either name- or IP-based.)

This is a little outside the scope of Koha, and depending on your level of 
comfort, you might be well advised to have an IT specialist with networking 
experience set it up for you.

As a data point, our OPAC is "public" <http://opac.navalmarinearchive.com>, 
but *all* our internal connections (cataloguers, staff, visitors, kiosks) 
use a local connection -- it's totally transparent, same servers, same 
database, just doesn't go half way round the world on public wires...

Hi,

In an accounting journal you usually enter a line (date, amount, reason 
etc) and it stays there as it is so you can go back anytime and look how 
the line looked, or you can calculate the sum of some given users, 
accounttypes etc over a certain period.

I was highly surprised to see in Koha these lines are not consistent but 
instead over time they are changing not only the original amount but 
also the date! For example if accountline_id 1 originally had a date of 
2015-10-01 and an amount of $ 2.00 it may have changed its date to 
2015-11-03 and an amount of $ 3.00. Can someone please explain what 
exactly happens with the money amounts and dates that are listed in the 
table "accountlines"? Is this described somewhere?

It is absolutely necessary for us to have some kind of proof how much 
money was taken in cash by the library every day and also over certain 
periods of time. What we in fact need is an accounting journal where ALL 
the accounting transactions are comprehensible over time. Does such a 
thing exist in Koha at all? How do other libraries handle this problem?

Kind regards, Michael
