[Koha] Koha installation on Ubuntu 14.04.3

[Decka David]

Dear Koha Developers
 
I am new to Ubuntu OS as well as Koha ILS . I have read about Koha which I
am interested to use for my university library however I tried installing
Koha (old stable) on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and not many information on the wiki
Koha. Is there anyone who wish to assist me with simple instructions on how
to setup Koha on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS behind proxy setup.
 
Many thanks in advance.

Re: [Koha] Disable displaying items from other locations (independent branches)

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Gregor,

sorry, but running out of ideas. :(

It should not be possible to change another branch's items with
IndependentBranches activated, unless you are superlibrarian. In my
tests, it works nicely on current master.

Maybe a last idea: Sometimes if you change the permissions, you need to
log out/log in again to make them take effect. So maybe that could
influence testing.

 For the items - I think that should be working. There was a bug recently
 about the edit links next to the items not respecting the
 IndependentBranches system preference. Could that be what you see?

 Do you see edit links next to each item when you go to the "edit items"

Re: [Koha] Koha installation on Ubuntu 14.04.3

[Bohdan Šmilauer]

Hello,
Instructions how to install Koha 3.20 on Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) is 
described here, see:
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian#Installation_Process
Based on this guide, step by step installation is illustrated on 
http://www.koha-community.cz/Instalace_Koha_3_20.pdf. 
Try to follow this guide for basic Koha installation. Before the Koha 
deployment is necessary to setup many parameters:
the system preferences, the privilegies for users, library branches, type of
items, templates for cataloging, setup authorized values, circulation rules,
patron categories, import of authorities, import of bibliographic records, 
import of patrons, setup Postfix (mailserver), Z 39.50 client and server, 
cron procedures, and others. This is not quite easy process and it requires 
some experience.  Valuable source are manuals on: 
http://es.koha-community.org/manual/ . Study, try, test, ask help, put the 
questions, and you will be successful

Re: [Koha] Circulation Problem

Hi Bob,

It's totally that "STRICT_TRANS_TABLES" that's doing this. I just tested
on my MariaDB (same v. as yours) with that and I get the errors too now.

[Koha] AllowHoldsDateInFuture

[Christopher Davis]

Dear Colleagues,

I was reading the Koha manual on the system preference named 
"AllowHoldDateInFuture" and it was too vague for me. Is the 
"AllowHoldDateInFuture" for patrons who want to place a "dormant" hold on a 
title which hold will "activate" on a certain date? Will any of you please 
explain this to me?

Thank you,

Re: [Koha] Questions regarding Holds (Bohdan Šmilauer)

[BOUIS Sonia]

Hi Andreas,

When we began to work on holds, we had the same expectations as you but we gave 
up.

We had no transfer between library for check-out so far, but with the holds' 
implementation we are forced to make it possible.

We try to propose new developments but we finally changed our organization :
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11481
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11482
(I don't think they are compatible with the master version).

We use jquery to hide some branches and ask patrons to choose a pickup location 
when placing holds but it don't really solve problems.

I can give you more details if you want.

Best Regards,
Sonia

Dear Mr. Mace,

I am engaged in the Koha implementation ver. 3.20 see http://koha2.
knihovnavsenory.cz . I have to say that holding functionality doesn't work 
correctly until now. We have only one branch: main library for simplicity . 
Our case should be, to enable to put hold, only if no item is free on shelf.
 

 By other words, if some issue (item)  of the book title is available 
(free), the patron has to go to the checkout desk and to ask this free item.
No remote order is allowed  in this case .  The hold (order) is allowed only
if all items are checked out and patron must wait until some item is 
returned. 

There are two preferences influencing the Koha holds function: On shelf 
holds allowed = NO, Item level holds= Don't allow. It is adjustable in  
Administration › Circulation and fine rules for patron category. Now it 
works incorrectly in such manner that holds are enabled if one or more item 
is checked out, but on the shelf remains some free item. It should not to be
enabled, until all items are checked out (no free item).

This problem was investigated in bug 6837, see http://bugs.koha-community.
org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6873, the problem


was resolved  by Barry Cannon, see Attachment http://bugs.koha-community.
org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=23162=diff, 


but this attachment is without approval (failed QA).


My message is, that this problem is not satisfactory solved until now.

Předmět: [Koha] Questions regarding Holds

"Hi!

We are currently investigating how holds behave in Koha, and see if we can 
set it up according to our needs. We have so far not managed to do so, but 
the preferences concerning holds are quite complex so there might be ways we
haven't tried yet - any feedback is welcome!

Our current set-up:

· We have nine branches (libraries), where all patrons are able to place 
holds on any of the branches. (They are not affiliated with any one branch 
per se, but with Stockholm University Library as a whole.)

· Books can be returned at any library and be sent back to the books home 
library, but we don't send out books between the libraries.

· Item level holds are not available (except for staff)

We would like holds to work as follows:

· Holds should be limited to all items of a specific branch, not all items 
(of several branches) connected to the bibliographic record. Holds can only 
be placed when all items are checked out on a branch.

· The pick-up location should always be the same as the books home library.

· A hold placed in one branch should not affect books on other branches.

An example:
The book "Narrative analysis" has 5 items, on three branches:

· Library A, 2 items (2 checked out)

· Library B, 2 items (1 checked out)

· Library C, 1 item (not checked out)

Patron A places a hold at Library A. The 2 items connected to that library 
cannot be renewed and the first one returned will fill the placed hold. 
Items at Library B and C are unaffected and can be checked out normally. If 
the checked out item on Library B is returned before any books from Library 
A, it will not fill the placed hold at Library A but instead go back up on 
the shelf at Library B.

Does anyone know if this set-up is possible with Koha today? Is anyone doing
this, or anything similar? Or is some development needed?

Best regards,
Andreas

Re: [Koha] Circulation Problem

[Bob Ewart]

Thanks Liz and Katrin

I'm beginning to think that it may be a problem with mariadb or 
something else that was updated recently.


I'm currently running openSUSE 13.2 with mariadb 10.0.21  with Koha 
3.18.10 built from a tar ball.


I tried to setup 3.18.11 and selected "install all optional data" in the 
web installer for a test case.  This generated two errors (see bug 14952 
 )  This 
was working when I created a test database on 3.18.09 last month for my 
Donor Tracking plugin.  It's now failing even on 3.18.08.


I know there was a problem with changes made to mysql's 
STRICT_TRANS_TABLES variable reported in bug 13523 
 in 
January and am wondering if there are any other recent changes.


I'm setting up a couple of fresh installs of openSUSE 13.2 and will try 
to reproduce the problem.


I am also going to check my current database structure with the fresh 
installs.  Our database was created somewhere around Koha 3.0 and has 
been upgraded skipping a few releases.  It may be that some changes to 
the structure or system variables have not be made.

Hi Bob,

I was unable to replicate this on 3.18.11. We would need to know more
about your setup to help with this, I think.

One possible thing, would be that perhaps you need to clear your cache
and/or cookies.

Their permissions are set to:

When they go to check out items, they get logged out with a "timeout"

staffaccess permission doesn't make any difference on or off.

It work as it should when the borrowers permission is set, but we don't

It was working in 3.18.05.
