Hi All (and especially the folks from Reno) Now that the vote is all in, and we have our winner (it was a very high voter turnout too, so should be a super big Kohacon) I wonder if some tentative dates have been thought of?

[Koha] Koha error
Sir Iam using Koha (V.3.00.05.003) software in our library, present we are using only one ID PW for all the modules(Like Acquision, Calalogue, Circulation etc), some times it creates problems, please guide me 1. How can we creat seperate ID PW for each module. 2. How can we creat the ID PW for Patrons, it helps themself can check their record and renew the borrowed documents. regards Pandu. -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-error-tp5720900.html Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
Re: [Koha] SQL queries to delete records from the database?
Yes, I did. And actually it looks like I didn't mess anything with my deletions this morning. I thought it was strange, but after reloading the back-up it looks the same. I guess I just didn't pay attention what the search results look like (in the item column). Anyway, I didn't delete these records for fun, I thought it would help solve our problem with reindexing, and it didn't. Just after uploading the database, I run a reindex and then I created a new record and then waited for zebra to reindex (every 15 minutes on the cronjob). But it didn't. I didn't check if it has run at all or if it hasn't reached the last records. I thought these faulty records were preventing zebra from reaching the last records... So, after that I just put back the old database (as I thought my SQL things were messing up with the search results). Yes, Bob, I guess a professional would solve the problem... I am doing this as a voluntary job, but it's taking too much time for me now and I am no good. We are paying someone for the server, so he helps me with all the technical things, but he doesn't know Koha especially. Very disappointing situation for me... Especially because I pushed them (when I was working for them) to change from their old library software to Koha. I feel responsible, though I still believe in Koha of course. Our organisation used to work with a Koha support company, but that wasn't working greatly. That's when I took over... (you will know everything :)) Thanks for your help! Cheers, Sonia.

Re: [Koha] Let's fix it together!
Daniel, I don't know if this is within the scope of the project, but as an example of a search that doesn't work, last year I spent a lot of time effort failing to come up with a search query that would show all new titles at a branch. I constructed a CCL query I thought would return biblios having at least one item with both a given branch and an acquisition date in the last 30 days. But among the search results was a biblio with two items, one at the desired branch but acquired more than 30 days ago, and one acquired in the last 30 days but at a different branch. Galen ultimately confirmed for me that you can't query for an item that meets two conditions, as CCL queries extend across the whole biblio--if one item in a biblio meets one of the conditions and another item meets the other condition, the biblio is returned. There are two issues going on with this search. The first is the indexing configuration which is not part of the proposal. The second is the query syntax. If we fixed the indexing (which wouldn't be too hard), writing a search that took advantage of the composed index would still be highly problematic. In fact, I think the only way to do it right now would be to use PQF to do a regular expression search to find all books added at a branch in the last two months. I'm making up a new composed index that consists of branch|acquisition date, and may be putting some of the terms in the wrong order but here's an example of what I mean: pqf=@attr 3=1 @attr 5=102 @attr 2=3 @attr 1=9952 branch|20120[67] You could try the following, as well, though I wouldn't really recommend it: ccl=itemacq,regexp-1,first-in-field:branch|20120[67] I'm sure a similar search would be possible in Solr, as well, but it would not be portable. Once you figured how how to do the search in Zebra, you would have to start all over again if you decided to switch to Solr or vice versa. In contrast, if we parsed queries ourselves, that search could be: itemacq like ^branch|20120[67] (and it would work in both search engines) You could also, of course, just use the PQF search and it would be translated into something that Solr could understand. Hope that helps clarify.

Stacy Koha is not switching to Solr, but now (in master) you can choose between using Solr or Zebra. (YMMV with other software based originally on Koha). This is already working in the master branch. Also, in Koha itself using zebra (I don't know what the forks are doing) you can now use DOM indexing which is much more powerful than the old indexing methods.

Re: [Koha] Solr
Stacy, I'll address the points that are not answered in the proposal that Brooke linked to. Does anyone know if switching from Zebra to Solr will let Koha libraries use a stopwords list? Solr allows the use of stopwords (as would a decent query parser such as the one I propose writing). However, the Solr code in Koha right now does not make use of the stopwords feature. To my mind, that is a good thing. If we used stopwords, the poetry journal The would be unfindable (and yes, there is such a journal: I had a nightmare and a half trying to find the record when I had an issue to catalog at the NYPL; thankfully their catalog doesn't throw away stopwords anymore). And things would be even worse when searching for French books. Consider the case of the À thé and Le thé. In the US we would probably search for a the and le the. If someone can Also, will Solr have any effect on fuzzy searching defaults? It will. Fuzzy searching has completely different semantics in Solr compared to Zebra. We briefly noted that fact in the proposal, along with a footnote identifying the algorithms that Solr uses for fuzzy searching (and, yes, I am aware that the second algorithm listed is generally used as an alternate name for the first... I have no explanation of why the Solr docs used the two names like they were different). Whether the fuzzy behavior is closer to what you want I could not say. My personal preference, like yours, is to not be fuzzy, and just suggest better searches. Lastly, is there anyone sponsoring or working on a did you mean... opac response to zero retrieval searches? At our library, we'd probably choose a did you mean... spelling suggestion choice over the automatic fuzzy spelling assumptions that are currently in the system.

Relevance ranking should take into account that a given word in a query is statistically overrepresented in the results, and therefore should be considered less relevant than other words in the query.
