Hiya !.

Please, we would like to know how much does it cost to install koha /
Opac ?.

Thanks


Hi Ilesanmi,
Rather than replying to the digest, its better to start a new thread.

Koha is free software that you can download from 
http://koha-community.org/download-koha/ .  The recommended method of 
installation is from Debian packages.  You can ask questions on this list.


Koha is also an enterprise-class LMS, so you may save a lot of time by 
purchasing commercial support.  A partial list of companies that can 
help you is here:

http://koha-community.org/support/paid-support/continent/
ProjektLink Konsult Limited is in Nigeria: http://www.projektlinkkonsult.com

There is no standard price for Koha services.  Approach support 
companies directly.


I hope this helps,
Bob Birchall

I have edited frameworks this way before 3.14.
  I'd be interested to know if anyone has edited a framework exported from
3.14 and had it import successfully.  Has something changed in the import /
export process that is causing it to fail?


in my experience, the best format to use to work offline with 
Frameworks is .sql.

I work on windows with Notepad++

I create new frameworks starting from FA framework, adding fiels and 
subfields from Default with cut-and-paste.


To do massise change on sam values is use SQL.
I import Framework in a specific db with command line, I do the change,
I export with command line also.
On command line for MySQL I suggest to google it.

Re: [Koha] Big problem in Staff Client, Koha 3.14.5

2014-05-29 Thread Claudio Kutufà

Hello to everyone

I found the problems and I fixed it. I think it can be useful for everyone 
to know what was the problem and how I could fix it. Maybe someone else one 
day could go into same trubles :-)


Following what Zeno Tajoli suggested me, I investigated the page source of 
the webpage that appeared almost all white and I found out that there was 
some wrong html: wrong html tags such as HTML/. I would like to cut and 
paste some of that bad formatted html but maybe it would also make 
unreadable some parts of this email. If someone is interested I can send 
some screenshot. (later I try to send an email with the html wrong code).


Due to the blank page, I couldn't access to the staff client and 
investigate in the Global System Preferences. Due also to the terrible 
internet connection of the server (in Eritrea) I couldn't use a normal 
browser MySQL iterface to access the database and search for that code - I 
had to work during the night to have a little bit better connection !


So I made a mysqldump of the whole database, I used the grep to see if 
there was the bad html line and... succes !! It was there. I deleted the 
bad html tags and reload the dump into the database (of course I previously 
made a backup). Magically I could access again to the staff client (I admit 
I was lucky) and see everything.
There were still some not well working items, for example it was impossible 
to see the patrons' information (the page was keeping going on loading 
loading loading...)
Keeping investigatind the dump of the database, I found out that there were 
many html bad tags in many global system preferences (especially in the 
field where the library-opac manager can put some html code, for example 
opacheader and so on.).
Fixing this bad formatted fields in the staff-client Global System 
Preferences, everything worked again !


So, a suggestion for new or not expert Koha users: pay a lot of attention 
when you put some html formatted code !!! If you are not more than sure 
about your html (but I would suggest always) make a backup of the 
database before adding html to your opac throught the staff client! 
Otherwise you risk to go out without the key and close the door behind 
you :-)

P.S.   I'll send also a mail with the bad html code to show how simple was

[Koha] Unimarc Indicators

2014-05-29 Thread julionogueira

Hi everybody,

Do I have to fill indicators in when cataloguing?
or
Is there a way to pre-set them on Koha for selecting when cataloguing?
or yet
Are they really needed, once Koha not strictly follows what Unimarc  
manuals recommed?
Searching Koha foruns, I could verify that many people have approached  
this subject on several occasions, but I wasn't able to find a  
definitive answer and I would like to be sure before starting the  
records migration process.
I can be wrong, but it seems to me that indicators have less relevance  
in Authorities than in Biblio as they can generate notes (block 4xx)  
for example, unless Koha comes already set for these and other  
indicators functions by default.

Many thanks in advance and best regards from
Júlio

Theoretically, you can edit the visibility offline in the spreadsheet.
Column M in the MARC subfield structure sheet. Easier to do than individually 
in Koha itself.
However,  I've tried .ods, and I've tried xls and all I get are import errors.
I have edited frameworks this way before 3.14.
 I'd be interested to know if anyone has edited a framework exported from
3.14 and had it import successfully.  Has something changed in the import / 
export process that is causing it to fail?

All I want to do is set up a very simple framework to use with an in-house 
template that doesn't take me a day's work to hide and unhide all the subfields 
one at a time.

 Hi Tim,

 We find that the safest way of trimming frameworks to a more
 minimalist set is to hide the subfields.  This can be quite
 laborious through the staff interface as you have to select each
 subfield and look in Advanced constraints then Visibility.

 If you have access at the sql level you can probably set the field
 hidden in table marc_subfield_structure to value -6 for those tags
 you do not want to appear (within your chosen framework).

 You might also want to change the tab for display to all be the same
 (eg
 0) if you only have 18 tags.  That just makes it clearer on the screen.

 Not every field has or needs to have a koha to marc mapping, but a few
 of the koha fields must be mapped to marc subfields.  The
 Administration tool MARC bibliographic framework test and other
 tools in the same area should help fine tune it.

 We try to avoid removing fields (tags) and subfields from frameworks
 as you could lose bibliographic data if you switch between frameworks
 while editing and save the record.  It depends what your longer-term
 plans might be for use of the system as to whether this might be a 
 consideration.

 If you stray too far from the MARC standard tags you may find that
 searching for records becomes unreliable as the search indexes are fed
 from the fields and subfields according to the MARC21 (or UNIMARC) standard.

 Good luck.

 So, I am not a Librarian but work as a sys admin for my company.  We

 technical publications for our users to look through.  We are looking
 to move to Koha but I find I am struggling with the initial steps of
 trimming down the MARC Framework.  The list of fields I have been
 passed by our Librarian is for only 18 or so fields.  I am therefore
 finding cutting down the default framework very laborious.  I have
 looked to Import a cut down version of the framework, from an amended
 export to CSV, but this fails with Error Importing the Framework.
 I was then hoping that there is something on the SQL side I could do
 to amend the framework but this has not exactly yielded any useful
 results.  Is there anywhere I can check for an error on the framework
 import?  If not is there any guidance on cutting a framework down to just 
 the required fields?

 I am also concerned that not every field we have in the proposed
 framework would have a corresponding Koha to MARC mapping.  Would
 this be required or are these there for simplicity rather than a necessity?

[Koha] Database problem and upgrade

2014-05-29 Thread Phillip Ponchot
Whenever I try to mysqldump Koha (3.0), the dump fails on line 35431 with an
error 2013, lost connection to the MySQL server.  To resolve this issue I've
tried the following:

1. Changing the my.cnf setting to give a longer time out for the connection,
reads and writes - Did not resolve the issue.

2. Ran mysqlcheck to fix the database and also the table.  - Table comes
back OK but the dump still fails. 

3. Do a select on the item using limit to see which record is causing the
problem - I get a 2013 error when trying this. 

If anyone has any suggestion on how to delete this row and dump the
database, please let me know.  I've exhausted days working on this issue. 

Thanks,


Phillip

custom framework that you can enhance or use as it is (exported as CSV
spreadsheet) if you want it in any of the other 2 formats let me know.

 Column M in the MARC subfield structure sheet. Easier to do than
 individually in Koha itself.
 However,  I've tried .ods, and I've tried xls and all I get are import
 errors.
 I have edited frameworks this way before 3.14.
  I'd be interested to know if anyone has edited a framework exported from
 3.14 and had it import successfully.  Has something changed in the import /
 export process that is causing it to fail?

 All I want to do is set up a very simple framework to use with an in-house
 template that doesn't take me a day's work to hide and unhide all the
 subfields one at a time.

  Hi Tim,
 
  We find that the safest way of trimming frameworks to a more minimalist
  set is to hide the subfields.  This can be quite laborious through the
  staff interface as you have to select each subfield and look in Advanced
  constraints then Visibility.
 
  If you have access at the sql level you can probably set the field
  hidden in table marc_subfield_structure to value -6 for those tags
 you
  do not want to appear (within your chosen framework).
 
  You might also want to change the tab for display to all be the same (eg
  0) if you only have 18 tags.  That just makes it clearer on the screen.
 
  Not every field has or needs to have a koha to marc mapping, but a few of
  the koha fields must be mapped to marc subfields.  The Administration
 tool
  MARC bibliographic framework test and other tools in the same area
 should
  help fine tune it.
 
  We try to avoid removing fields (tags) and subfields from frameworks as
  you could lose bibliographic data if you switch between frameworks while
  editing and save the record.  It depends what your longer-term plans
 might
  be for use of the system as to whether this might be a consideration.
 
  If you stray too far from the MARC standard tags you may find that
  searching for records becomes unreliable as the search indexes are fed
 from
  the fields and subfields according to the MARC21 (or UNIMARC) standard.
 
  Good luck.

Re: [Koha] Technical help with Frameworks

2014-05-29 Thread Bernardo Gonzalez Kriegel
Hi Alexander,
to build a new fw using sql, you need to insert values on 3 tables,
and there are some fields needed by Koha, 942, 952 and 999 (for MARC21)

You can look at
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=27056action=diff
(right panel, 3 first inserts) as an example of creating a framework using
SQL

Regards,
Bernardo

[Koha] Using serials in the budgeting module. 3.14

2014-05-29 Thread library
Good morning

Could anyone send me a link to a more detailed explanation (than the
manual) on how receiving serials in Acquisitions works. For instance, do I
load the price of the subscription or the price of each individual item.
When receiving serials do I click on renew when the serial rolls over (I
just did that and have appeared to have renewed it twice???). I'm loving
the fact that I can enter serials into the budget, but am a little confused
as to the procedure.

Regards

2014-05-29 Thread adalid
If the problem is in the first part oh the bibliographic record you  
need to modify some of the 6,7 and 8 fixed Marc fields. If your  
problem is in the ITEMS part, your problem is in the ITEM type you  
select in the add item part of the cataloging process.

 If anyone has any suggestion on how to delete this row and dump the
 database, please let me know.  I've exhausted days working on this
 issue. 

I haven't seen this myself, but have you tried writing a script that
selects the rows one-by-one until it fails, so you find out what record
it is that is causing the problem, and then just deleting that record?

However, it sound more like this is a MySQL specific issue that you'd
have a greater chance of success by taking to MySQL forums.
