It probably means zebra had been built as  a user, and now has another one.
For example, when you rebuild_zebra.pl -r as root, then try to run as
"not root".

[Koha] Installation of additional languages for OPAC and Intranet

[毛慶禎]

Hi all,

I need your help to install additional languages for OPAC and Intranet
after installing Koha.

I have fellowed this page, but did not work.
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Installation_of_additional_languages_for_OPAC_and_INTRANET_staff_client

For the teaching purpose, I use this Live CD,
Koha Live CD by Mizstik: Easiest way to try or install Koha,
release-6, 2010-10-22, Koha 3.2.0 and Ubuntu 10.10

First,  adding Traditional Chinese interface and IBus, I have Chinese
interface of Ubuntu.

System/Administration/Synaptic Package Manager - >
Setting/Repositories/updates, backports
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
sudo apt-get install language-support-zh
sudo apt-get install language-selector
log out / log in -> Chinese
System/Administration/Language Support -> ...

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:shawn-p-huang/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ im-switch -s ibus

So far so good.

Then, I could not add Traditional Chinese.

After this three actions.
$ cd /usr/share/koha/misc/translator
$ mkdir /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/prog/zh-Hans-TW/
$ mkdir /usr/share/koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/prog/zh-Hans-TW/ /

It suppose only two command line:

$ perl translate install zh-Hans-TW
$ KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml perl -I /usr/share/koha/lib/
translate install zh-Hans-TW

But, it return fellowing messages.

$ /usr/share/koha/misc/translator$ perl translate install zh-Hans-TW
readdir() attempted on invalid dirhandle $fh at LangInstaller.pm line 62.
closedir() attempted on invalid dirhandle $fh at LangInstaller.pm line 63.

This is my directory.

$ /etc/koha$ ls

Another command still not working.

$ KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml perl -I /usr/share/koha/lib/

It's a known and resolved bug (#5506). You need to upgrade to last Koha
3.2.9 version.

Re: [Koha] Managing ebooks and databases

[Hal Bright]

A question I can answer.  I uploaded data I was able to obtain from the 
Overdrive reports and created MARC records with MARCEdit.  Overdrive uses a 
"Network key" to link into their catalog, which I used for the 856 URL field.  
Then I uploaded the records into the catalog (yesterday, in fact).  The only 
problem I have is the results for an author search floats all the "E-Overdrive" 
items to the top of the results, crowding out all the other "NEW" items 
[Bywater is working on this issue]  Here is a link to a sample record.

Subject: [Koha] Managing ebooks and databases

Good morning my Koha friends,

I need some advice. We are running 3.2 and within a few months we will be joing 
a consortia offering ebooks for download. It will either be Overdrive or a 
vendor using the Overdrive platform. I am not interesting in discussing how bad 
/ evel etc Overdrive are - I have no choice as practically all of NZ will be 
joining  together into several consortia.

My question is how do Koha libraries provide access to ebooks within the Koha 
OPAC? Ditto with suubscription databases - is there a clever way to manage 
these in a useful ways for library patrons?

Thanks in advance,

Cheers Jo.

[Koha] A feature I thought I remembered testing

[Nicole Engard]

Hello all,

I think I'm going crazy cause I could have sworn I tested a
development ages ago that made it so that if a message is triggered on
checkin you have to acknowledge it before you can check out another
item. I'm unable to find this a patch/development/bug on this.  So
feel free to tell me I have no idea what I'm talking about - or even
better if you can point me to what I remember that would be awesome.

I'm sorry your question never got answered. I don't know of a
workaround. For the list and posterity I'll tell you the cart is based
on browser cookies. If Koha won't let you empty the cart for some
reason you can always clear your browser cookies.

       How about changing this to

in."

"Item is still on loan. Check in has failed." ?

Hi Tigran

[Koha] Trapped Holds = No Holds Allowed

[Lesley Kimball]

Hi everyone,

  We've only been using production mode since late April and today we
"discovered" a strange phenomenon.  Titles that we only have 1 copy/item of
that have the status of being a trapped hold (waiting), show as "no holds
allowed" when you search for them in a general way that produces a list of
records (as opposed to searching for it by barcode).  So, if the item
"Uncoupling" by Meg Wolitzer (which we only own one copy of) is trapped &
waiting to be picked up, if we do a search in either the staff client or the
OPAC for "Wolitzer" -- a list of her books comes up and each one has the
link below it to place a hold except for the one that is trapped
(Uncoupling) and that one says "no holds allowed".  You can place a hold on
it in other ways (through checking the box and then clicking place hold, or
in staff client by bringing up the item and placing a hold directly).  So,
we can get around it, but it is unlikely that most of our patrons using the
OPAC will go any farther than seeing "no holds allowed."

 

Has anyone else dealt with this?

 

Lesley Kimball

Does anyone have holds for specific copies working in Koha OPAC

What version of Koha Linda?

I found a bug for it in 3.4.0, and have sent a patch

http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6347

With that patch it works, maybe you (or your IT people) could test and
sign off on that patch :) That would help it on it's way into 3.4.1

Once you make the changes that Owen suggests in this email I will add
your article to the newsletter, but right now you're not linking to
the official Koha site.

PS. When sending newsletter articles you shouldn't send them to the
entire list, just to me to save the list from reading all the articles
