I am forwarding your questions to the mailing list. I am not sure you can do 
what you want to do with Koha – perhaps someone else has some ideas and can 
help you.

Thankyou for your help.

 

Basically I want to be able to block patrons from issuing more books but allow 
them to get equipment. There are not separate permissions for different item 
types as far as I can see. I also need to isolate the book 
issuing/renewing/returning from the students and teachers who will be issuing 
the laptops.

Hi,

some of my libraries use a separate itemtpye 'multimedia equipment' for lending 
laptops and cameras.
With a separate itemtype you can set up rules for patron category/itemtype 
combinations, which works quite well.

I am not sure if using a separate branch gives you a real advantage.

You can do separate things for overdues in Koha, so I am not sure where your 
problem is located.
You can block the patron from different actions (renewal, checkout, placing 
holds) using system preferences (OPACFineNoRenewals, noissuescharge, 
maxoutstanding) and a fine amount.
You can also debar patrons with sending out overdue notices (tools  overdue 
notice/status triggers).

The number of overdue books does not influence the checkout, onle the fine 
amounts and time span since the books got overdue can.
Those blocks will take effect system wide, so a separate branch will not make a 
difference.

You can also check the manual for more information about fines and setting up 
circulation rules:

Hope that helps a bit.

Subject: [Koha] Branches and circulation rules

Tena koutou

We are struggling to understand the way individual branches work. We would
like to create an independent branch to issue laptops to students (and
departmental resources later) which will not be affected by how many
library books students have overdue. I have tried setting circulation rules
in the laptop issues branch to be completely different to those in our
library but this has not worked. Are we able to define differing borrow
rules for the same patron at different libraries. Could someone direct me
to more complete instructions on how the overdues systems work or how
circulation rules work.

We are still using 3.2 but will be migrating to 3.6 in the New Year.

Thanks

Re: [Koha] Import items not importing items

2011-11-09 Thread Kate
Thanks Hugo, have now double-checked the branch names and the item types
match (BK became BKS!) and now the records seem to have the items attached.
Still no search results from the OPAC but it's a start! Thanks for your
help .

 Hi

 have you checked that library code in 952 a and b is the same library code
 that is configured in Koha.. and that library code doesn't include
 hyphens... it is a nonsene but we faced a problem with that ;)


 2011/11/7 WTC librar...@wtctheology.org.uk

 Hello
 I've just tried to import a couple of batches of items but they haven't
 imported.

 I've created MARC records with MarcEdit. I staged them for import.
 I looked for existing records based on ISBN (020$a) and Ignore incoming
 record if matching biblio found).
 I chose Yes to check for embedded items.
 I selected Always add items.
 Clicked on stage for import.
 The message was:
 29 records in file
 0 records not staged ...
 29 records staged
 29 records with at least one match ...
 29 item records found and staged

 Clicked on Manage Staged Records
 All 29 items were auto_matched
 I clicked on Import this batch into the catalog

 The message was Completed import of records
 Number of records added 0
 Number of records updated 0
 Number of records ignored 29
 Number of items added 29
 Number of items ignored 0

 Now normally when I do this there is a delay of a few minutes before the
 items are visibile in the catalogue, but these 29 items aren't showing at
 all.
 When I look at the record for an item it doesn't show the items that I
 just
 imported.

 I've done this procedure many times, and it has always worked. Any ideas
 on
 what may have gone wrong?

[Koha] setting up predue notices

2011-11-09 Thread TSBC Library
Hi there, 

 

1.  Can anyone help me please to set up notices warning borrowers that
items are nearly due. I see a predue notice in the notices list but can't
find how to set up when it goes out. 
2.  Also, I would like to know how to insert the due date into this
notice and the overdue notices. It does not appear in the list of fields
available.

 

I have scoured the manual but have not been able to find either item. What
am I doing wrong?

 

We are running Version 3.02.00.004

 

Many thanks,

 possible with Koha but haven't had much luck. I'd like to steal some ideas

 any other suggestions or OPAC development tools would be much appreciated.

The only time I have seen this issue is when something gets deleted or
a record gets corrupted for a biblio that turns up on the 1st page of
results for the failing search.

A full reindex of zebra has always cleared these type of issues up for us.
