Re: [Koha] clarification - versions of KOHA

[Bob Birchall]

The numbers indicate the release date: 16.05 was released in May 2016, 
17.11 was released in November 2017 and 18.05 is due for release next month.
Koha 3.22 was the last release before this pattern was adopted. You 
could think of it as being 15.11 :)


To understand the differences between versions, read the Release Notes.

The current stable version of Koha is 17.11. Packages are also 
maintained for the 'Old Stable' version, currently 17.05. (This will 
change in late May). See here 
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian under the heading 
'Set up package sources.' Which you choose is a trade off between how 
badly you want the newest features and how much you value stability. You 
might examine the question before each upgrade.


I hope this helps.

Re: [Koha] Specific Material Designation

[Bob Birchall]

Item Types are defined on the Administration page of the staff client. 
You can define your item types in whatever form you wish. If you wish 
you can use different descriptions at the record level (942$c) and the 
holdings level (items.itype or 952$y). Which is used in the circulation 
rules is defined by the system preference 'item-level_itypes'.


There is more description in the manual:
https://koha-community.org/manual/17.05/html/02_administration.html#basic-parameters

I hope this responds to your question.

Re: [Koha] Koha - No results match your search for 'kw, wrdl: psychology'

[Bob Birchall]

Hi Chilufya,
If your records exist in Koha but no search results are being returned, 
then you have a Zebra problem. It will be necessary to either restart 
zebra or re-build your zebra indexes or both. How you do that depends on 
the version of Koha you are using and the method by which you installed 
it. If you have a recent version installed from Debian packages then 
commands can be found here:

Re: [Koha] Error: timeout specified has expired - unable to access koha back-end

Hi,
If you can reach the staff client from FF and IE but not from Chrome, 
that does suggest its a Chrome problem first. Have you cleared the

Does the problem occur from one device or from all devices? If only from 
one, try re-starting the device.

Hello helpful and wonderful koha community!

We have had a perfectly stable installation of koha for 2 years now.
However, suddenly I am unable to access the back-end.

The first sign of trouble was that we couldn't access either the OPAC or the
back-end. We restarted Zebra, and that gave us back the OPAC, but we still
can't access anything else.

My 'tech' guy told me that:
OPAC is not running on port 8080, all the right apache configs are there and
we are getting the following error on the logs: [cgi:error] [pid 11441]

However, I've since realised that I can access the back-end using Internet

Is anyone able to help?

With many thanks!

OK, its sounding more like an Apache problem now and likely with SSL.

How did you install Koha (from packages or tarball) and on what 
operating system? What is your Koha version?

It seems I spoke too soon: now I get inconsistent access to the staff client

the moment, the only success I'm getting is with Firefox and when dropping
the https from the front of the address.

I also tried emptying the caches - no change.

But, access is fine using Chrome on my phone!

It seems to be some sort of security issue - various errors come up in the
browsers: SSL Protocol Error or Couldn't establish a secure connection.

Hoping someone may be able to steer me in the right direction!

Many thanks.

Have you examined the barcodes to make sure they are correct? No spaces,

Is your file a csv file? You say its a text file but if you saved it in

Re: [Koha] Adding languages to Advanced Search

Hi Ruben,
You will not have to recompile Koha from source.

However your objective cannot be achieved merely with configuration. The

You've done well to get as far as you have, but to proceed you will

Also, SIP2 traffic is not encrypted, so that is another issue you'll

We have bought a new 3M self-check machine from the Bibliotheca to work

Unfortunately, the vendor said that they cannot ping the IP with the port

Just wonder if there should be a way to find the correct IP & port no to
use and also how to set it up properly in Koha.



The self-check vendor has shown us that the self-check by itself can work
but just can’t communicate with Koha.

Betreff: [Koha] Hea - any enhancement requests?

Hi everybody,

I have been working on the Hea website (hea.koha-community.org) this
afternoon to fix an issue reported by Sonia [1].
I noticed that the display and the information of the libraries are
not always accurate and useful, but I have trouble providing something
that would be ergonomic.

There are 2 things to display: the Koha's installations and the libraries
A Koha installation can have several libraries (branches).
We have 3 views:
- See all libraries https://hea.koha-community.org/libraries
- See by country https://hea.koha-community.org/libraries-by-country
- See on a map https://hea.koha-community.org/libraries-on-a-map

On the map there are only the installations that are displayed.
Before today all libraries from all installations were displayed on
the "all libraries" view, one row per library. It is still as it but
they are now grouped by installation: for instance search for
"Bibliothèque université Lyon 3" and you will see the different
libraries for this installation. I feel like it is better but not
perfect. We should at least remove the second if there is only 1
library and that it has the same value as the installation.

On the "by country" I have not changed anything, but libraries are
displayed. It seems that it would be better to display the
installations instead.

Basically my feeling is that we should only display the installations
on the map, "by country" and maybe on "all libraries" as well. And the
details of the installation on the installation view (for instance
https://hea.koha-community.org/libraries/602 for Lyon 3).

I guess somebody else could think the contrary and prefer to highlight
"per library" instead of "per installation".

I am open to any suggestions, feel free to open issue on the tracker
of the project or simply by answering to this email.

Regards,
Jonathan

PS: Yes some old/wrong data must be removed. I planned to remove all
data that have not been updated in the last 6 months (which represent
~300 installations out of 1145), but actually some seem valid, so it
is certainly a bug somewhere...

Hi Peter,
.mrk is mnemonic (human readable) MARC. You need a .mrc (machine

You can use MarcEdit to compile your .mrk into .mrc. Then import the

Re: [Koha] Export bibliographic records

Hi Peter,
I think the following was originally written by Chris Cormack, iirc.
Anyway, I hope it helps:*

End Note*

EndNote software is licensed by Clarivate Analytics and can be purchased 
at https://endnote.com/


To use Koha with Endnote download the record in “RIS” format. Depending 
on how your system is set up, Endnote might automatically import the 
file. Otherwise, you can import your citation by opening Endnote and 
selecting File->Import and then locating your file.

Re: [Koha] 2 different circulation rules against a patron

[Bob Birchall]

Hi Chee,
I am going to answer 'No, it can't be applied to 18.05', for a few reasons:
- the patch was submitted over three years ago: that is six versions of 
Koha ago;
- even if it applies to the code base, it could cause any number of 
problems - it has not been tested by project maintainers or subjected to 
quality assurance (QA) testing;
- the concept is a bad idea, if you read the discussion in the bug 
report: the concept has been rejected by the project's QA Manager no less;
- patches that are not part of Koha have to be re-applied at every 
upgrade: if you do this once, you will keep doing it, and create a 
maintenance headache for yourself.
The only way in Koha for a user to have two categories is to create two 
records for them. That can cause its own problems. Why not just put them 
in the category with the most generous circulation rules?

Otherwise, Koha does not support the functionality you are seeking.
I hope this explains,
Bob Birchall

No, this patch was never pushed to master. The discussion about it ended
in 2015. Thus, it is not in Koha 18.05 or any other Koha version.

Re: [Koha] Koha enquiry for a new library

[Bob Birchall]

Hello Sumayya,
What size is your bibliographic collection and how many users will you have?
For a new library, the main steps are:
- enter basic administration parameters such as your library or 
branches, item types and user categories;
- configure the system preferences so that Koha supports your policies 
and workflows;

- import your bibliographic records; and
- import your user (patron) records.

Information about all of this is in the Koha manual:
https://koha-community.org/manual/18.11/en/html/
where there is also an implementation checklist:
https://koha-community.org/manual/18.11/en/html/implementation_checklist.html

We know of small libraries (up to 1,500 records) who started up by 
entering all their data into Koha directly. More commonly, you'll 
capture the data to spreadsheets. In the case of the bibliographic data, 
there are tools (not part of Koha) to convert your spreadsheet data to 
the MARC format required by Koha. If you have a large collection, this 
is a big job.


There are companies that sell these services:
https://koha-community.org/support/paid-support/

Consult the manual, then ask more questions on this list.
Good luck,
Bob Birchall

positive feedback about Koha in general, I would like to hear from you the
personal experience of setting up and using Koha.



1.   Does your library had any other library system before implementing
Koha? If not, how easy/complicated to use this for a new library?

2.   What things should I be considered before start using Koha?

  Any other recommendation/suggestions are welcome!

Our understanding is that items borrowed by this group of borrowers would

We do not have an autorenewal notice set up. Would this make a difference?

Bula Luisa,
You only need one installation of Koha.
On the Administration page of the staff client, you will find the 
Libraries link where you can configure each of the branch libraries.
Then patrons at each branch will be able to search the entire 
collection. Koha has very powerful functionality for handling 
transactions between the branches.

Be sure to read the manual:
https://koha-community.org/manual/18.11/en/html/
The section on branches is here:

No. That suggests you have the ODUE notice set as the First, Second and

Re: [Koha] Update OS vs Update Koha

[Bob Birchall]

Hi Joel,
After upgrading, put koha-common on hold. Before your next upgrade, remove
the hold.

(look for the Apt heading).

Re: [Koha] Notify the borrower when a hold is placed

[Bob Birchall]

Hi Sonia,
It sounds like you need a recall system.

An attempt has been made:
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19532
It looks like its not ready yet.

I hope I've interpreted your question correctly.

Re: [Koha] (no subject)

Tom, you'll need Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to run the latest Koha. Upgrade Ubuntu,
then install Koha from the Debian packages. To install 18.11 point your apt
source to 'old-stable'.

Re: [Koha] Searching Authority Records by Authority Record Number

[Bob Birchall]

Search for authorities on any term.
For any authority in the results list, choose action 'edit'.
On the editor page, in the URL, change the authority number (authid) to
that of the record you wish to edit.
Refresh the page.
I hope this helps,

Re: [Koha] Searching Authority Records by Authority Record Number

Works for me (in 18.11). I'm confident the ability to edit authorities was
in Koha way before 3.20.
When you say 'it didn't work', what happened?

Re: [Koha] Difference Between MariaDB and MySQL

[Bob Birchall]

There has been work on this in the past. See for example:

Afaik, database agnosticism remains a goal of the Koha project. But it
competes with everything else for development resources.

Re: [Koha] Field 952$o is blank

[Bob Birchall]

Do you have access to the Koha Administration page from the main menu in
the staff client? (If you don't, the menu option will not be present.) If
so, do you have access to the Global System Preferences?
Assuming you do, you will see a Cataloguing tab at the left of the page.
You'll find the system preference 'itemcallnumber' under the Record
Structure heading.
For more help, there is always the manual. :)

Re: [Koha] Self-service hardware question

[Bob Birchall]

Hi Lisa,
Any old PC or laptop is suitable for running Koha's self-check module
provided it has an internet connection (of course) and an up to date web
browser. A port for plugging in a barcode scanner is nice and it sounds
like you also want to connect a cheap printer. The module is well
documented in the manual.
This module is not as robust as the dedicated self serve stations from
major suppliers but it's big bucks cheaper. We found it works best where
trust and competence are higher. That is, it's better for corporate
situations than in education - staff are more reliable (often) than
students. Print out reset instructions and paste them on the wall.
I hope this helps,
Bob

Re: [Koha] Re-catalogue a library

I would appreciate any tips, hints or suggestions for re-cataloguing a

At the moment, an item is scanned and then the record updated via 
Z39.50 but this is a slow process.

What other approaches are there?

Thank you,
Clint.


Hi Clint,
One possibility is to compile of file of ISBNs and submit it to your 
national library (Te Puna in your case).  They could provide you with a 
file of MARC records.  Matching on title and author might also be 
possible.  There might be a fee involved and you still have to  create 
items locally, but its quicker than cataloguing individually.

Hope this helps.

You can always do a test import of one patron. That one patron can easily
be erased.

Patron import is very useful when you want to import a large number of
patrons and/or update current patrons. It wouldn't make sense to import
them and then have to go one by one and set username and password, etc.

Hope that helps...

Congratulations!

The survey has been completed 1074 times. In some cases, people were
overly enthusiastic and had to vote more than once, which lead to

80,35% Thessaloniki, Greece
08,10% Manila, Philippines

I'd like to thank the people behind both proposals for offering to
host Kohacon 2016!

See you all in Thessaloniki next May or June,

Wow, if everyone who voted for Thessaloniki attends, it will be the 
largest KohaCon ever, by some way.  Congratulations to the organisers.


Also, commiserations to the bidders from the Phillipines.  We were 
looking forward to attending there in numbers, that won't be possible to 
Greece.  I'd encourage the bidders to try again next year - Nigeria bid

Re: [Koha] 3.20 circulation email to staff

[Bob Birchall]

Hi Mary,
Are you saying that emails are not being issued to your borrowers? If 
so, have you enabled email from Koha?  By default, its not enabled, so 
that you don't send emails before you are ready.  To enable it, execute 
'koha-email-enable instancename' from the command line.  More info here:

http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Commands_provided_by_the_Debian_packages
(I'm assuming Koha is installed from the Debian packages.  If its not, 
it should be.)
If you have already enabled email, check that the server can issue email 
(independently of Koha).

I hope this helps.

Re: [Koha] Koha funds

[Bob Birchall]

Hi Hugo,
Te Horowhenua Trust is approved in New Zealand to receive tax deductible 
gifts.  Just check your local tax rules to ensure you can deduct a gift 
made overseas.  As Jo says, the administration is not a problem (THT 
+1).  Thanks for your generous support of Koha.

[Koha] Item Lost Status not showing in Editor

[Bob Birchall]

At least in 3.18.08, in the Default Marc Framework definition for 
items.itemlost (952$1) the Visibility constraint shows Editor as 
unchecked.  We believe this is a change from previous.  Can anyone 
confirm and/or suggest a reason?

Re: [Koha] Fwd: RFP: 3rd NAKUG/KohaNA meeting

[Bob Birchall]

As a total outsider, I did have a wry smile about a group calling itself 
North American insisting its meeting venue be within the US. But I 
should let the Mexicans and Canadians speak for themselves, of course.  
In general, any forum that facilitates the coming together of Koha users 
to share experience and ideas is to be encouraged. I'd guess that's the 
context of Brooke's points about fees and August - just making it as 
easy as possible for folks to join in.

Congratulations on your initiative and best wishes for future gatherings.
Bob

Brooke:

A. Inclusiveness

So are you saying that there can only be one worldwide Koha group, and
that there cannot be national or regional level Koha groups and
corresponding meetings?

Do you presume that anyone from outside North America would be unwelcome
at a North America/United States meeting?

Would it be appropriate for the NA/USA group to openly solicit
world-wide attendance, and possibly seem to be competing with World KohaCon?

There may be topics of interest only to US organizations, like eRate,
LSTA grants and US laws, like privacy legislation, that may be important
and need to be discussed but which may be avoided in an effort to be
inclusive of other countries attendees if those were many.

Concession: there is sometimes, and possibly in this case, the tendency
to equate North America (23 countries per Wikipedia) with the United
States. That is more a careless, linguistic peccadillo, I suggest, than
a felony warranting a call-to-arms.

B. Time of Meeting

I don't think meeting in a particular month carries the same weight of
concern as your first point about inclusiveness, or even your last about
attendance fees.

C. Attendance Fees

Libraries, few in the US rich, don't always have good conference rooms,
especially if there are conference break-out sessions. That may mean
renting some hotel meeting room space for $1,000 a day. If it requires a
$20 charge per person to get some good facilities I think that's reasonable.

I have always, albeit typically privately, supported the idea of a
reasonable attendance fee. I greatly appreciate it when a hosting
organization provides coffee, maybe juice, and pastries for breakfast so
that I don't have to run all over a hotel in the morning trying to find
the $5 coffee and $4 donuts, being late for the inaugural address, and
spilling now-cold coffee all over the nice lady in the row in front of
me as I say "excuse-me, excuse-me" as I trip over people trying to get
to the only open seat in the middle of the row in the middle of the
room. Having coffee and donuts provided at the event is worth some coin
to me and something more to the ex-nice lady soaked in cold vanilla
hazelnut coffee which clashes terribly with her /parfum du jour/.

Salvete!



The Koha North America User’s Group would like to invite agencies and

held in early August, 2016. This meeting offers participants two days of
instructional sessions and presentations, followed by a two day hackfest.

 At risk of beating a dead horse, I am once again disappointed that this body has 
taken up the mantle of "North America". There are plenty of Libraries, 
Organisations, and Agencies within North America that do not fit your group's stringent 
United States centric viewpoint. I am also continually saddened that this body will only 
consider meeting in early August. It is further too bad that you all charge fees for your 
meeting. The three of these problems in combination send a strong repeated message that 
inclusivity is not an aim of your organisation, whether that be a valid conclusion to 
draw or no. I do so hope that at some point in future, this group might reconsider any or 
all of those matters.

Hi Andrew, this is not good practice.  Its better to submit one question 
per email, with a descriptive subject line.


Answers to the list are there to help everyone, not just the particular 
person who asked the question on this particular occasion.  When a bunch 
of issues are addressed in one email, its impossible later (sometimes 
months or years) to find the answers in the archive.


Anyway, I hope you get useful answers to your questions.

1. When patron self-registration is enabled, there are a number of necessary
fields I can't get to show up, namely, userid, password, and cardnumber (The
project I am working on requires people to fill out their own card number -
they will be unique.) These fields are however accessible from the same
patron template when an account is created on the staff side by
superlibrarian. Any thoughts?

2. Is there any way, after having imported a batch of records, to
auto-generate an item for each record in the batch? I do not have time to
search, by name, for each record in a 5000+ item library and create an item
for it.

3. Following on question 2, is there any way to force the staff interface to
just display every record in the catalog so that if I do have to add each
item manually I can at least do it faster?

Cheers. Thanks for your help.
Andrew

​Thanks for that.  It does display in other frameworks, just not the

This change to the Default framework actually works against us.
I will change it back, because it's necessary for our collection. I 
suppose the right answer is to correct the framework in the faulty 
records, but that's not as critical as some other projects I'm working on.
 We've got material shelved all over an old building and I don't want 
the staff to spend a lot of time looking for something that's 'lost'.​ 
Precisely because we have so many different shelving locations (and 
we've been shifting material as the building is rehabbed) we're not 
willing to abandon these items altogether, they usually do turn up 
eventually.  Lost status has nothing to do with our borrowers. We 
rarely circulate material.

What you want to achieve requires development.  Changing the source code 
just for this client is a bad idea.  It will become a problem for you at 
every upgrade.


If performing the development, do use the community's development 
process [1] so that others can comment on the changes you are making; 
that will enhance their chances of being included in a future release of 
Koha.


Having said that, I suspect that when you tell the client the likely 
full cost of the proposed development, they will suddenly see the wisdom 
of your original recommendation, and agree to use the extended 
attributes, which are provided for exactly that purpose.


Best of luck,

Re: [Koha] Hello & first question

[Bob Birchall]

Welcome to the Koha community, Margaret.

You won't want to 'move' your journals from the catalogue - they'll need 
to be there for searching and reference.  The serials module refers to 
records already in the catalogue and is used to keep track of 
serials-related actions (like receiving the current issue, or 
maintaining a routing list).  The manual has a chapter on this:

http://translate.koha-community.org/manual/3.20/en/html-desktop/#serials
and an implementation guide:
http://translate.koha-community.org/manual/3.20/en/html-desktop/#impserials

I hope this is helpful.

First question - all our journals have come across into the cataloging

Re: [Koha] Setting DueDates and Sending OverDue Notices

[Bob Birchall]

Yes, the circulation alerts and the overdue notices work separately.

You've set your overdue notice triggers on the Tools page?

A follow up question on this issue of *OverDue Notices* not being sent:

Is there a fundamental difference in Koha between OverDue Notices and the
rest of the list of e-mail notifications?
Are they somehow a different thing in the system?

I ask because all the rest of my chosen communications ARE going out
unimpeded.

Thank you again,

Yes, there is a client running to send mail.
Our sysadmin set it up for me.

We are getting all the other notifications EXCEPT overdues.

Have you checked crontab files in /etc?, perhaps the line with overdue
execution is commented.

I think I have commented in my installation, I don't remember clearly.

This is why I was thinking it might be a trigger or hard due date issue.

Subject: [Koha] Setting DueDates and Sending OverDue Notices

Hello everyone,

We are working in a koha set up (3.20 on debian 7 - package install on
local server).

Our notifications are edited to send, most of them are going out etc.

But the system is sending NO Overdue notices for some reason,

Let me summarize what I have set up in case this is helpful to anyone.

In Administration > Circulation & Fine Rules, we have set the

circulation

polices, renewal permissions per patron types etc.

In Patron Category Admin, we have set Overdue notices to YES.

In that same Category, we have the set circulation unit in days (30)

which

seems like it SHOULD trigger overdue notices at the appointed time - it

is

not.

*Why might this be*?

Also, regarding the set up of Hard Due Dates: *Do these have to be set

to

trigger OverDue notices if the other circulation rules are set*?
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Hard_Due_Dates_Circ_Rule_RFC

I am not finding the language here as clear as I think it could be for

me.

We are currently sending notices for Advance Notice, Item Due and Holds
Available.
But OverDue notices are not going out.
I might have incorrectly set up the triggers defined here


http://translate.koha-community.org/manual/3.20/en/html-desktop/#noticetriggers

because I have delays set for advance notice and items due and one

Overdue

notice. But it SEEMS the advance notice would need a different delay
trigger than overdue because one is before the item is due and one is

after.

The Cronjob is running to check them, the messaging queue is being

checked

every 15 minutes according to the logs, but they are still not being

sent.

*What is it I am missing here*?
*Is this a trigger set-up issue, a hard due date issue or something
deeper*?

Thank you for any advice.

Jesse.

Hi all,
I work at a school that has 2 physical sites but we use one Koha 
Instance\database to house the collection (we have subnet IPs setup for each

We often need a user with basic circulation permissions to circulate books to 
students, however I am finding that unless the user is a superlibrarian they 
can only view patrons from the subnet of the library they are in (unless they 
know the correct UserID of the patron).

Site 1: Campus 1
IP: 10.166.x.x

Site 2: Campus 2
IP: 10.132.x.x

So if the circulation user is on Site 2 they can only view patrons from site 2, 
and under filters they only have the option of filtering the library but site 
2. This is a bit of an issue as we often have staff and students move between 
campuses.

I have searched through the lists as best I can however I can't seem to come up

Hello I am looking for a little direction/instruction.

We currently have a very old Koha server (2.2.5) running on Ubuntu 6.06.1

I have built a new Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS server and would like to install Koha
there and import my databases from the old server.  The version of Koha that
I have installed is now 3.2.2 on this new server.

How do I get the database information imported there to get the new server
up and running?

I tried following the instrcutions here but it did not work
(http://kohageek.blogspot.com/2015/08/move-old-koha-database-to-new.html).

When I upgrade the database schema everything seems to go well.  When I run

When I then goto the intra login page I can sign in with any old

installation I see:

Software error:

Any help would be appreciated.  I'm new to Koha, just trying to get things
up to date.
That's a big upgrade.  You will get different opinions on this, but my 
advice is to export your bibliographic and patron data from the old koha 
and re-import the data to a new Koha (3.20 or 3.22).  You might lose 
some historic data, but its often not valuable data anyway.  You will 
need to amend your item records in a MARC editor - check the Koha to 
Marc Mapping for the Items table in your new Koha.  I believe this will 
be much easier than going through the several stages required to achieve 
an upgrade.


Be sure to install your new Koha from the Debian packages.  There are 
instructions for Ubuntu on the wiki.  (You are much better advised to 
seek instruction from the Koha wiki and this list rather than stuff you 
find on the internet, which can rapidly become outdated.  The Koha 
project moves very quickly.)


My opinion.  I hope it helps.

Hi Sandra,
Import the SCIS authorities file using the 'Stage MARC Records for

Then set your system preferences for the linker 
(Home/Administration/Global System Preferences/Authorities).  Check the 
manual.


Then ask Seth to run link_bibs_to_authorities.pl

We suggest doing all that in a test instance before you do it in

Re: [Koha] Problem with migrating barcodes

[Bob Birchall]

Hi Clint,
It may be that the Karant software performs a transformation on what is 
stored in the DB to arrive at the barcode number attached to the 
physical item.


As Fauzi attests, Softlink's Alice has a particular nasty whereby the 
physical barcode contains a capitalized alpha character that is not 
stored in the db.  The algorithm for discovering the character involves 
a mod 11 calculation and then the use of a look-up table.


Why anyone would do that, you'd have to ask them.  I am not familiar 
with Karant so have no idea whether or not this is what is going on for you.


Hope it helps anyway,

[Koha] International Koha Fund - Grants Committee Draft Rules

[Bob Birchall]

International Koha Fund - Grants Committee Draft Rules

Te Horowhenua Trust (THT) in New Zealand has established a Fund for the 
ongoing development and dissemination of Koha as free software.   In May 
2015 THT entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with 
representatives of the Koha community regarding the operation of the 
Fund. Pursuant to the MOU, the Koha community has established a 
Fundraising Committee to, amongst other purposes, promote contributions 
to the Fund. The Fundraising Committee is now assisting THT to make 
rules for the establishment and operation of a Grants Committee to 
administer the disbursement of grants from the Fund.


It is important to understand that whilst the Fundraising Committee is 
established by the Koha community, the Grants Committee will be a 
committee of the Trust.  The Trust is seeking the advice of the 
community on the making of the Grants Committee rules.


A draft of the rules has now been added to the wiki:
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Fundraising

This will be considered at the next couple of meetings of the 
community.  Turn up and have your say:

Subfield, Text, Constraints
a, ORCID, Tab:8, Repeatable, Not mandatory
b, ORCID link, Tab:8, Repeatable, Not mandatory, is a URL

You need to locate the item in which the item type has been used. Delete

[Koha] Fundraising - Proposed rules for THT Grants Committee

[Bob Birchall]

Following discussion at the General IRC meeting on 6 April the 
Fundraising Committee proposes changes to the draft Grants Committee 
rules <https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Fundraising>:


1. Replace:
"1e Any one library, organisation or company (including a Listed Koha 
Support Company) may have only one principal, employee or contractor 
serve on the Committee at any given time."

with:
"1e Any one library, organisation or company (including a Listed Koha 
Support Company) may have only one individual (e.g. a principal or 
full-time, part-time, or contract employee) serve on the Committee at 
any given time.


2.
Replace:
"3a ... invited in the current quarter."
with
"3a ... invited in the current period."

3.
Replace:
"3j With the exception of receiving reports under 3h, ..."
with:
"3j With the exception of receiving reports under 3i, ..."

These changes have been made to the draft rules on the wiki:
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Fundraising

The rules will considered again at the General IRC Meeting 
<https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/General_IRC_meeting_4_May_2016> to 
be held on 4 May 2016 and if approved will be forwarded to Te Horowhenua 
Trust with the recommendation that they be adopted.


(The International Koha Fund is maintained by Te Horowhenua Trust in 
Levin, New Zealand.  The Grants Committee will be a committee of Te 
Horowhenua Trust.  The Koha Fundraising Committee has the role of 
getting money into the Fund.  The Grants Committee will be the mechanism 
for getting money out of the fund to pay for ongoing development of 
Koha.  Librarians and others with enthusiasm for fundraising for Koha 
are urged to consider joining the Fundraising Committee.)

You can include the holdings data in your spreadsheet.  Koha uses tag 
952 for items.  When converting to MARC, make sure you have just one 952 
tag per item (you can have unlimited 952 tags per record).


The mapping for the item level fields is found on the Administration

Hi Jerwyn,
Do your patrons borrow from the library?  Presumably you want them to be 
able to log in so that they can view and renew their current and past 
loans and (if applicable) view any fines?


Koha's circulation rules are based on branch code and patron category.  
So unless you create a user record in Koha (by whatever method) that 
contains at least a branch code and a patron category, your patrons will 
not be able to borrow.


It seems to me that you will have to create a minimal patron record 
containing at least a branch code, patron category and gmail address, 
plus any other fields nominated in your BorrowerMandatoryField system 
preference - typically Surname and Cardnumber.

Re: [Koha] Change in results display between 3.18 and 3.22

Thanks for your reply. I hadn't realized the non-XSLT option was 
deprecated.


I think the librarian's opinion is that the XSLT results display is 
more cluttered than the display without XSLT. If you do a search for 
"Barauna" on each version of the OPAC, you'll get a good idea of what 
I mean.


3.18 - https://tantur.library.nd.edu/
3.22 - https://tanturpprd.library.nd.edu/

The XSLT view shows the entire MARC 245 field, but the non-XSLT view 
shows just the 245$a.


On the other hand, the Publication line of the non-XSLT display 
contains more information than the Publisher line of the XSLT display. 
And there are some other differences, too. Some of the display issues 
I can handle with CSS, such as getting rid of the "Material type" line.
That's controlled by system preferences: DisplayIconsXSLT and 
DisplayOPACIconsXSLT

Thanks, but I had thought of that. I have DisplayOPACiconsXSLT set to 
"Don't show", but it's the same whether I have it set to "Show" or 
"Don't show". 


Well that shouldn't be so.  Try clearing your browser cache, or see what 
happens with a different browser.  The preferences work as expected in 
Koha 3.20 (for me at least).  Its also working in the Catalyst demo at 
http://demo-intra.mykoha.co.nz which is running 16.05.

Hello,

I am still working on my project in the shadows.   Working out 
details, arranging funding, etc...


I was wondering where there is a list of languages currently supported 
by Koha?  If oneof mine is missing, how does one start a new one, and 
what tools are available to help us translate it?


The list of languages is in the release notes (scroll way down to 
Translations):

https://koha-community.org/koha-16-05-released/

To start a new one, begin here:
