Re: [Koha] adding patrons in a batch - getting errors
Hi! I have had customers reporting problems importing patron data from Excel into Koha (via CSV). When I have opened the file in LibreOffice and saved as CSV from there it has worked fine for me. Could you give LibreOffice a try?

Here are her emails describing what happened: FIRST EMAIL: One attempt, nothing imported. Said something not expected format which almost certainly means phone numbers or dates. I'm going to have to play around a little to determine what is hanging it up... perhaps later tonight. SECOND EMAIL: I took it down to only names and the required codes and it still wouldn't load. The error messages are below. It appears it doesn't like my header row, which I copied from their instructions. Says it could not be parsed. I searched on that error message and I appear to be not the only one who has this problem, and they system does not think that it is a csv, but tab separated. I'm going to work on it tomorrow on a break and try a couple other ways to see if I can find a way for it to be a csv file that system recognizes. xoxo Mom Feedback: Parsing upload file Library1.csv Content-Disposition : form-data; name=uploadborrowers; filename=Library1.csv Content-Type : application/vnd.ms-excel headerrow : Error analysis: Header row could not be parsed Thanks, Christy -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/adding-patrons-in-a-batch-getting-errors-tp5833906.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 ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha

[Koha] browse shelf for serials without items
Dear Kohaers, while it is possible to assign a call number to a serial subscription, as far as I understand, it is currently not possible to have a serial shown with the browse shelf function, unless that serial has items (with their own, proper call numbers). I wonder whether it is possible to circumvent this limitation, perhaps adding one fake item to the record for that serial. (Apologies for duplicate posting to both the users and the developers lists, as I feel my question might receive either an answer based on current usage, or possibly stimulate an enhancement of the browse shelf function.)

Re: [Koha] 2 ways to mark an item withdrawn???
I’ve done some more troubleshooting on my own that I thought I’d share with everyone. Following process #1 below causes Koha to update the items.withdrawn field, but following process #2 below changes the following in the items.more_subfields_xml field instead: leader a /leader datafield tag=999 ind1= ind2= subfield code=01/subfield Not sure if that’s intended to be the case or not? Does anyone else see behavior similar to what we’re seeing when marking the item “withdrawn” in the 2 different manners? Thanks!

Hello everyone, I'm running a variety of Koha package versions on Debian, ranging from 3.16.2 to 3.18.5.1 and am hearing reports of issues with how items are marked as withdrawn. If you search in the staff client for an item and click on its title to go into the details you can mark an individual item 'withdrawn' in one of two ways: 1. Click on the Edit button along the top and select Edit Items in the pull-down. In the resulting window, click on the Edit link on the left-hand side of the item you want to withdraw. The first option reads 0 - withdrawn status and in the pull-down I set it to Withdrawn, and then click Save changes at the bottom. 2. The other way is to click on the Items tab on the left-hand side instead of the Edit button along the top. Selecting the Items tab gives you a list of your items and each item has a Withdrawn? line with a button that can be clicked to Withdraw it. So, now my question/issue.following the #1 process above doesn't seem to do anything at all to actually withdraw the item. It is still searchable in both Staff and OPAC clients and shows as available everywhere. I also checked in the database itself and the items.withdrawn field is not changed for the given item either. So what does marking the item status in this way actually do? Is this a bug, and should it be updating the items.withdrawn field, perhaps? Following the #2 process above seems to have the expected results. Thanks in advance for anyone's thoughts!

Re: [Koha] Marc record manual entry 650 a locked
Hi Christy, the default configuration in Koha requires you to link to authority records for some of the fields, like personal names or subjects. As you are just starting to catalog, there are probably no authorities in your database, so any search comes up empty. You can create a new authority record from the search window you mention - look for 'Create new authority' at the top. It will take you into the authorities module, where you can use Z39.50 for searching authorities. You can also decide to not use authorities at all (Administration Bibliogaphic MARC framework ... 650$a - empty Thesaurus field) or create authorities on the fly automatically by entering data into the fields directly (System preference BiblioAddsAuthorites should unlock). Hope this helps, Katrin Am 03.04.2015 um 17:58 schrieb ChristyThomas: Hi, I am trying to do manual entry of records for an elementary school library. The z39.50 does not find these books.

Re: [Koha] Buggy OS Upgrade
Hi Bruce, I am on Debian 7.8 (wheezy). I don't know solution to your problem, but the following may help others to help you: I was on Koha 3.18.4 (installed using packages) and tried '*apt-get upgrad*e' and got the '*The following packages have been kept back*' message for koha-common. I tried '*aptitude upgrade*' and it upgraded to Koha 3.18.5 with addition to '*The following NEW packages will be installed: libdbix-connector-perl{a}*' message, which did not happen when I did '*apt-get upgrade*'. Now I'm upgraded to 3.18.5 and tried Z39.50 search and added a record with item. No errors. Works fine. -- Arslan On Wed, Apr 8, 2015 at 3:40 AM, Bruce A.

Re: [Koha] Buggy OS Upgrade
Bruce, This is a problem with the format of sessions changing. Deleting the cookies in the offending client will fix the problem, as will clearing your sessions (this will force you to log back in).

Re: [Koha] Buggy OS Upgrade
It's worth noting that clearing the cache, cookies, and sessions should be standard procedure after *every* upgrade for every staff interface user.
