[Koha] Koha shows error on adding an item
Hello all, We recently installed Koha for our small library, and we don't have any exposure to library sciences, we're just amateurs. We could install Koha properly. But there is one error which is showing up at the end of adding the item. I couldn't attach the csv file of our customized MARC structure for the 40KB limit of mails. screenshot of the error: Software error: Can't call method subfield on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2881. For help, please send mail to the webmaster (webmaster@debmaker32 mailto:webmaster@debmaker32), giving this error message and the time and date of the error. Even if we use the default MARC structure, we still get the error. Interestingly, the item gets added to the record. However, while checking out the item against a patron, after giving the Barcode and pressing ok, we hit the same error page again. Even while returning the book once we click on return the book, the same error comes. We saw some community pages where people encountered this kind of a problem. We don't have any clue to fix this. Any inputs? Thanks in advance. Swaprava ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha

Okay, many thanks for the pointers ! It is working but it not that handy to install. I see. Does it mean that, altough it is difficult to install, once the initial installation is done it is working relatively well and easy to maintain ? And some choices for SOPAC makes that project quite difficult to run (namely sphinx and the insurge/locum technology and the fact that it relies on old drupal version), along with quite hard coded css quite restrict the potential of SOPAC. Okay. I'd like to ask several questions here. 1. Which version of drupal does it rely on ? 2. I have to say I did not understand what locum and insurge are. Any clue for me ? We tried to contribute the patches we wrote in order to fix some bugs. But it is free software, ppl may or may not take on your contributions and proposals. Indeed. Does it mean that there are currently no exchanges with sopac maintainers ? It is in production for some libraries. We can assist in the realization of that or provide you with url for that.

Re: [Koha] [Koha-devel] Kohacon11 : Last date of paper submission extended till August 30 2011
Hi Koustubha, Just following up on my suggestion on IRC the other week about accessing the video of the two Koha presentations at LIANZA conference in NZ during Kohacon11. Cath Sheard, Chris C and I are holding a demo session and Shelley Gurney is doing a breaking down the barriers to Koha type of session. Both sessions are on the Tuesday and all conference papers and presentations will be uploaded to the LIANZA Online Library at the end of each day http://lianza.org.nz/publications/ . That should make them available for either Monday or Tuesday viewing at Kohacon. I thought this might be a good chance for the community to see how we are promoting Koha downunder and also to see feedback from our audiences. So, not a paper submission either I'm afraid, more an offer for something a bit different to fill a slot for you.

I won't be able to make it this year, so I won't be submitting anything, but for future conferences, I don't finish my presentations until the night before, so I won't be able to submit full papers or finished presentations ahead of time.

Hi Koustubha, I am afraid I will not have time to submit written papers for publication either.

Re: [Koha] Using RFID with Koha
2011/7/22 Prajeesh prajeesh...@gmail.com: Exactly we would like to implement RFID in our library with Koha. Anyone is using Koha with RFID, any problems occurred during the implementation. We are using 3M RFID hardware. Selfcheck stations have SIP support and that works fine. Any additional software needed. Is it possible to create RFID tag using Koha. I'm assuming you want to program RFID sticker tags which you want to glue on books. For that we are currently using slight modification to Koha which includes barcode in title of window and small program which captures that and triggers 3M program on Windows workstations. However, since initial implementation, I implemented pure-perl driver for our RFID reader (and several others) available at: https://github.com/dpavlin/Biblio-RFID which we use to program student's RFID cards (which are same standard as book stickers). It also includes proof-of-concept implementation of Koha integration using nothing more than single javascript include (since driver itself is pure-perl HTTP server and browser can contact it directly). This code is not production quality yet (mostly because I didn't do any testing on Windows which would be our deployment platform). Which RFID hardware does your library have? -- ...2share!2flame... http://blog.rot13.org ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha

I have to agree with this. For an academic thing, I'd have research done and papers written long before. However, for a less formal conference, like Kohacon, it tends to only really take form in the month previous, and I'm usually chopping and changing content right up to the day before. And certainly not writing a full paper for it. Or, perhaps more realistically, writing slides on the plane over, where I can see the deadline approaching at 900kph ;) It's not a bad idea to collect slides and other resources when you can, and putting them up online somewhere though. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5957 6D23 8B16 EFAB FEF8 7175 14D3 6485 A99C EB6D signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
