Hello,

One of the easiest way to install Koha would be:

Re: [Koha] Install koha-common 3.10 on Debian wheezy

[Chrispin Simasiku Sitali]

Greetings,

I successfully managed to install koha 3.10.5 in Wheezy. What I did is
add /etc/apt/sources.list.d/koha.list file: deb
http://debian.koha-community.org/koha squeeze main and then manually
install tinymce2 from
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/all/tinymce2/download and click on
 ftp.uk.debian.org/debian  to download tinymce2, right-click on
tinymce2 and use the installer to install it. Then apt-get update then
apt-get install koha-common.

worked like a charm!

[Koha] Erro installing new language with Koha

[Vimal Kumar V.]

Dear Friends,

I tried to install Spanish translation to Koha 3.12.x.
I applied following commands,

*sudo su *
*export KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/sites/library/koha-conf.xml*

 *export PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib*
 *cd /usr/share/koha/misc/translator*
* *
*perl translate install es-ES*


The last command showed following messages,

se of uninitialized value in hash element at /usr/share/perl5/Locale/PO.pm
line 343,  line 88969.
Warning: Can't determine original templates' charset, defaulting to UTF-8
Warning: Charset Out defaulting to UTF-8

Spanish language display in system preferences. But it does not display in
GUI when it enabled.
Any idea about this problem?

Regards,

[Hugo Agud]

Hi

have you checked if the systema has created all the files under /prog
folder?, have you opened some file to check if the translation is there or
not?
have tou apply the perl with koha user? it seems sudo... perhaps there is a
permission problem ..

Kindest Regards

[Koha] CDS/ISIS to MARC21 (Koha) issue

[Alexandru Constantin]

Dear colleagues,

I'm trying to convert (using MARCEdit) my approx. 10 000 entry ISIS
database to MARC21 for import in Koha.
I'm encountering the following problem:

Some of the tags for each book are duplicate; for example, for multiple
authors, the record will look smth like this:
...
=702  John
=702  Mary
=702  Ann
...

I would like to merge this fields into the MARC21 100 field like this:
...
=100 \\$a John, Mary, Ann
...

Unique fields haven't posed problems, but those duplicates do.
I would really appreciate some help.

Best regards ^_^,

Re: [Koha] CDS/ISIS to MARC21 (Koha) issue

[James Weinheimer]

Are you sure you want to merge everything into a single 100? MARC21
works otherwise.

If you did have 100 1\ $aSmith, John;$aEdwards, Mary;$aJackson, Ann

It would seem to be more difficult to prevent a search for a specific
"John Jackson" or "Mary Smith" *not* to pull up this record.

This is one place I would do a lot of thinking about, because once they
are merged, they could be very difficult to unmerge if necessary.

Re: [Koha] CDS/ISIS to MARC21 (Koha) issue

[David Cook]

Hi Alexandru:

Someone may have already answered your question, but I'll offer some advice
in the event that they haven't.

1) Consult the Library of Congress as your guide:
http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/. If you're unsure of what you read
there, consult someone well-versed in MARC21 and descriptive cataloguing
standards (such as AACR2 or RDA).
2) "Duplicate" or rather "repeatable" fields are not a problem for MARC21,
if the field is marked as (R) in the relevant section of the website I
mentioned above. In the case of 7xx fields, it is very common to have
multiple entries (since they're "added" entries).
3) In fact, by concatenating multiple 7xx author entries into one single
100, you will be creating a problem. The 100 field is a main entry field. It
should only ever have one author in it.
4) Depending on your data, you might not actually have or need a 100 field
in a record. 

With that established, why are you considering "duplicate" fields do be a
problem?

I'm not familiar with ISIS's export format(s). Are you using a CSV dump and
then using the "Delimited Text Translator" tool in MarcEdit?

Re: [Koha] Analytics in 3.10 - is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

[Bernardo Gonzalez Kriegel]

Elaine,
my feeling is that you are mixing two mutually exclusive procedures,
and that is resulting in your two 773s.

When you use EasyAnalyticalRecords the procedure, as far as I know, is

a) Create parent record
b) Add an item to parent record, remember barcode
c) Create analytic record (normal way, i.e. New+ > Record )
d) Use 'Link to host item' option in Edit pulldown to link this analytic
record to the parent item
this will populate one 773 in the analytic record
e) Reindex

Now a search will show you the parent record and the analytic, this last
one will show you
an item, the parent's one.

Or you can use the Enhanced workflow procedure. In this one you do

a) Set UseControlNumber to 'Use'
b) Create parent record
c) Add an item to parent record
d) Create analytic record using 'New child record' from New+ pulldown
this will populate one 773 in the analytic record
e) Reindex

Now a search will show the parent and the analytic, the last without items

What you are doing is mixing the procedures

a) Create parent
b) Add item to parent
c) Create analytic form 'New child record' (Enhanced procedure)
first 773 in analytic record
d) Now you use 'Link to host item' (EasyAnalytics procedure)
second 773 in analytic record

Perhaps the bug is that 'Link to host item' adds another 773 and do not fill
existing 773.

So, if you use EasyAnalytics you must create your new analytic record in a
normal
way, not using 'Add child record'. The manual does not indicate to use this.

You can also find more information in
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Analytics,
there is a link to a talk from Jared Camins-Esakov in KohaCon12 that I found
very instructional.

Regards,
Bernardo
