Hi all, We are using KOHA but we have a problem. KOHA, prohibits those who returned late. How do I disarm it? Koha directories do not have enough information about it. - Patron has had overdue items and is blocked for 21 day (s). (We use the version of Koha 3.0609000). Thank you. S.

Sounds like you have suspensions enabled. Check your "Circulation and fines rules" and look for the column "Suspension in days (day)". Anything other than a 0 in there will be blocking your patrons Jonathan On 21 November 2012 08:27, A. Şenol Armağan wrote: > > Hi all, > > We are using KOHA but we have a problem.

Re: [Koha] [Koha-devel] ldap / uid
Samuel, If you want to map the userid field in Koha to "SupannAliasLogin" from your ldap configuration simply change to . If you are asking how to bind on SupannAliasLogin you should be able to perform the step above and in the principal name field just enter %s and nothing else. That will try and bind on the username without joining any other strings.

Re: [Koha] Problem in importing Patron Records
I have to set up a system to convert information from our membership list into patron files on a monthly basis to catch expired memberships. I run the file through a database called Cardbox for batch editing. Cardbox exports have never cause any problems with csv formatting before. As an experiment, I ran the Cardbox csv file through (an old version of) excel and exported a new csv file. But it didn't help, and in fact broke the date formatting (deleting the zero padding). We are using the same date format as is set in our system preferences (dd/mm/). For some patrons there is no expiration date (life members). Would this be a problem - are expiration dates required? Must I convert it to -mm-dd ? (the notes on patron import seem to imply it's OK to use your specified date format).

Re: [Koha] Problem in importing Patron Records
Hi Elaine, I think it's not the date format that is a problem here. The date format should be what you have set in the dateformat system preference. I think your problem could be, that you are not providing a borrowernumber. I found in the past that the import works nicely providing a sequential borrowernumber for all my entries in the CSV file. Also maybe try to lower case your header row. It's only a guess as I haven't tested it, but maybe it makes a difference. Another idea is that you provide a anonymized sample file of your data, so we can take a look at the headerrow and 2 or more additional lines to help you find the problem.

Re: [Koha] Problem in importing Patron Records
Dear Elaine Can you share the patron excel file and also check the under system configuration "BorrowerMandatoryField" which are the fields mandatory, for uploading purpose you can remove those mandatory fields and try uploading the patron records. Regarding the borrowernumber, What i used to do is manually enter the borrowernumber (use the excel feature of auto numbering). Line 2 Critical field "surname" missing (borrowernumber: UNDEF; surname: UNDEF). > If Surname is mandatory field and any one row is missing the surname data, Koha will show error. Line 2 Critical field "branchcode" missing (borrowernumber: UNDEF; surname: UNDEF). - check the branchcode in the .CSV file and the branchcode you have defined in Koha, if both are not matching it will show error or if .CSV have a new branch code it will again show you error. Line 2 Critical field "categorycode" missing (borrowernumber: UNDEF; surname: UNDEF). = same as branchcode error - you have not defined the catagorycode in the Koha setting.

We have been using Koha for 3-4? years.

Re: [Koha] Problem in importing Patron Records
I changed the date format to -MM-DD I also added a date to the patron records that didn't have them. I saved it as an ods file, and then closed it opened it and saved it as csv. None of these things worked. Same error messages. Elaine On Wed, Nov 21, 2012 at 9:16 PM, Quoc Uy wrote: > Better give it a try. Do exactly as i say.
