[Koha] Zebra printers and workflow
Hello fellow Koha-ites ~ We have been using dot matrix printers for labels since time beyond the memory of any human now living. Supplies for these will be discontinued in 2021. We plan to migrate to Zebra/Thermal printers and I'm wondering what models you've had great success with and what your software/workflow looks like. Thank you!!! Chad -- Chad Roseburg Assoc.

[Koha] How do you do "Library of Things"?
I'm curious as to how other libraries are cataloging and circulating non-traditional items like: - Games - Tools - Kits - Electronics etc. We are new at this and stumbling into this area. Are you using Koha for this or separate systems? I notice that some libraries are using separate systems like KitKeeper for non-traditional kits, equipment ..etc. We have used both KitKeeper and Koha for this purpose and are still experimenting. Some staff members prefer the ease of cataloging multi-piece kits and LoT items in a separate system but that means 2 systems to track. Thank you! -- Chad Roseburg Assoc.

[Koha] Floating/Non-Floating hybrid
Wondering what ways libraries are using to balance requests with having a great "walk-in" collection. We have been rewarding the organized folks who put in requests but paying less attention to our walk-in patrons and are considering ways in which to balance this. One way might be to have "hot items" locally owned and non-floating. Non-requestable is another way. A combo plate? How have you balanced the quality of your library's collections with your request traffic? We have 30 branches and float our collections. Thank you! Chad -- Chad Roseburg Assoc.

[Koha] Public library with student accounts
Are there any public libraries working with schools to create accounts for use with various digital services, checkout ...etc.? Just wondering what your process is and what rights the accounts have. Currently, we upload the accounts without checkout privileges so they can just be purged each summer and updated without having to worry about fines and whatnot. The primary use, from my understanding, is for classes needing access to research databases and possibly Overdrive. The reasoning is that they can definitely still get regular accounts and checkout physical items --- vast majority already have regular accounts but can't remember their login creds. However, two public schools have indicated that they would like the accounts to have checkout privileges baked into the auto-generated accounts. Not sure how to maintain the patron database and foresee problems. - Koha can't identify duplicate accounts. Not a limitation of Koha, just that there aren't enough match points to reliably de-dupe accounts. And even if you could ... - Student could get enough overdues to restrict access to databases making class participation difficult. - Duplicate accounts with fines. - ??? Anyone got this figured out?

[Koha] Staff Collection in Koha
Just curious as to how other libraries set up staff only collections. I suspect that I am overthinking this. We'd like to create a collection for librarian-led programs, Eg., movie night, program kits ...etc. Such that: - Hidden in OPAC via OPACHiddenItems - Easily searchable by staff - Non-floating - No reserves or checkouts allowed except to staff I see 2 - 3 possibilities: - Item Type - Location or branch "Staff Collection" - Some combination of the 2 (?) I'm not a fan of using item type as it complicates the role and meaning ( taxonomic ) of item type for material classification so I'm leaning towards creating a branch and assigning rules to this branch. Shelving location does not offer the same flexibility, correct? I don't see a way to set rules by shelving location. That would be ideal as this collection is housed at an existing branch.

Re: [Koha] Change "Place Hold" to "Request Item"
pt 2
I moved it as you suggested and changed:

to
$("input[value='Place hold']").attr("value","Request Item");
This gets the selections-menu occurrence. I think that about does it.

For those of you that allow your collections to float: What strategies do you have *- or -* in what ways do you use settings like StaticHoldsQueueWeight to prevent holds from pooling at one or two libraries?

Re: [Koha] OT: Good kiosk option for OPACs
Would this be for self-check or public internet kiosks -- both? For self-check you can use Google Chrome in kiosk mode. We used Linux and chrome for our selfchecks and they worked fine and were reliable. You could do the same with Windows as well I'm sure. We used jQuery and CSS to increase the size of the buttons and scrollbars for touchscreens. For the last 7 - 8 years, with public internet computers, we've used Groovix -- an Ubuntu based distribution with session limits, reservations, remote monitoring/admin, privacy features etc. There are several support options and the support is exceptional! They will do customizations and development for you -- we've had modifications for printing made and are having some additional development done for print management [ though it comes with a print release option as well ] .

}
//if(document.URL.indexOf(members/memberentry.pl) = 0){

//if(document.URL.indexOf(members/pay.pl) = 0){
//var a = $(#menu a[href*='/cgi-bin/koha/members/pay.pl']);
// var href = a.attr('href');
// href = href.replace(pay, boraccount);
// a.attr('href', href );
//}
$( .subfield_mandatory ).css(color, #FF);
}
Still no luck editing the branch names. Interestingly, I have a test Koha

[Koha] Editing branch names in 3.18
We are not able to edit the branch names in 3.18. I notice that there used to be a bug for this -- as far as deleting branches.

Re: [Koha] Anyone using Firefox ESR (Extended Support Release) sucessfully for staff client access?
We use it here and have not experienced any issues with it. The issues we've had usually just involve having staff clear the browser cache ...Eg., after a Koha upgrade. We also disable form autocomplete which has caused some issues.

Our IT group only installs Firefox ESR (Extended Support Release) on computers it manages (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/). It is supposed to be in sync with the current Firefox release for general users, but clearly it is not. Even the most simple elements of the staff client (Koha version 3.16.04) do not work in Firefox ESR. Just one example is that most dropdowns do not function . When using the general release of Firefox (version 36.04) I believe that my problems are specifically with using the staff client. I have tried using the OPAC with this version of Firefox and have not found any problems. I wish Chrome could be an answer to this problem, but our IT security group sees it as a security risk and will not allow it to be installed.

Re: [Koha] Koha indexing - files
Thanks for the info! Our servers have SSDs and plenty of RAM.

It'd be worth seeing where the slowdown in the indexing actually is: is the exporting the slow part, or the merging into the index? Though, I've never tried with zebra indicies on a high speed disk, I'd be interested to see some real benchmarks. Not absolute, but... our latest server uses SSD (raided 240 Gig Kingstons) rather than HDD (raided 500 Gig Seagates) with very slightly faster 8-core CPU, same 18 Gigs RAM; and the read speed (counting by 100's) of a total re-index is about twice as fast, with authorities faster than biblios. However, the Cleaning stage is disappointingly about the same speed, maybe a tad faster but barely perceptible. Memcached enabled on both boxes, same version of Zebra. I get the *impression* that Zebra sorts (or does some other process) during the final write stage, otherwise we'd have seen an improvement. However, we rarely use the full re-index, having got the Cron job fully sorted every minute (including minor tweaking of biblio-zebra-indexdefs.xsl) -- and that is as near instantaneous as anyone could wish. Best -- Paul Also, more RAM might be useful for disk caching, and you could experiment with disk fsync() commit options (i.e. by making it not require data to be written back before returning.)

Re: [Koha] Self checkout
We are using the following in the opacuserjs field:
$(document).ready(function(){
// For selfcheck login page. Cleans up non-essentials and changes
// Text.
var url = window.location.href;
var host = window.location.host;
if(url.indexOf('http://' + host + '/cgi-bin/koha/sco') != -1) {
$('#header-region').remove();
$('#opac-main-search').remove();
$('.breadcrumb').remove();
$('#auth fieldset').remove();
$( '.btn' ).attr('value', 'Start');
$( '#opac-auth h3' ).replaceWith(h1Click here to begin!/h1);
}
});
Some explanation:
We use the selfcheck module on touchscreen kiosks so we remove anything
clickable other
than the start button. You may only be interested in the button and text
replacement as well as removing the username password fields -- though you
need to make sure the browser has the credentials remembered otherwise
you won't be able to log in:
$(document).ready(function(){
var url = window.location.href;
var host = window.location.host;
if(url.indexOf('http://' + host + '/cgi-bin/koha/sco') != -1) {
$('#auth fieldset').remove();
$( '.btn' ).attr('value', 'Start');
$( '#opac-auth h3' ).replaceWith(h1Click here to
begin!/h1);
}
});
3.14 and 3.16 have the self-check login page as part of the OPAC [ a bug, I
believe ] so you have to point the code at the specific page.
A better way might make the username/password fields invisible and move
them so you can still use them --- or, activate them by clicking on a
certain word.
Hope that is helpful to you!

Change button text to read Start -- then add a message like, Click

Re: [Koha] Open source replacement for 3M self check station
Magnus ~ As to mixing up two different things a bit ...yes and no: The original poster wanted an open source software solution that worked with the 3M equipment [ #1 in your list ] to reanimate a glitchy 3M station and protect the not insubstantial $$ investment [ system restore would've helped here perhaps, or uninstalling the guilty Windows updates? Don't know. ]. So the problem is keeping the [ now glitchy ] 3M hardware/equipment investment up and going. He says: As we 're going to upgrade our Koha installation to 3.12, we want to use an open source system to replace the software of the self check. Does anyone has some experience for an easy-to-install free software with that hardware ? In theory, you could turn the 3M station/equipment into a browser based kiosk using the Koha self-check module [ #2 in your list ] ...it's just a computer with Windows, touchscreen and scanner in some special furniture anyway. We *did* try re-purposing our old 3M equipment using FOSS, mostly for kicks ~ and failed. Mainly due to driver issues between things like the 3M touchscreen and the OS. Could be avoided *possibly* if you stuck with the existing OS on the equipment. You'd still have issues with software needing to talk to the security strip desensitizer. It may be possible, for instance, to install FOSS kiosk software or browser plugins and continue to use the 3M kiosks, as they just run Windows XP behind the scenes ...if you didn't care about the security strips, that is. We opted to just replace them with generic off-the-shelf components instead as our 3M equipment was a bit long in the tooth and ready for retirement anyway. An ideal solution, for this poster, would retain *all* functionality of the original 3M kiosk [ RFID, security strips ], use the existing equipment ...and run on FOSS partially or entirely. Easy installation a plus. I can only share our experiences and wish him luck. Chad On Mon, Sep 30, 2013 at 2:29 AM, Magnus Enger mag...@enger.priv.no wrote: I wonder...

Re: [Koha] Open source replacement for 3M self check station
We use Koha selfchecks with generic touchscreens and scanners. Not too difficult to set up. We used Debian with Chrome in Kiosk mode. Later ... We had some 3M selfchecks that we tried to convert using the same strategy but drivers for the hardware were a barrier. If someone has had success with the security strip reader or any of the 3M equipment we'd also be interested in hearing about it.

Re: [Koha] Open source replacement for 3M self check station
I can confirm that the first two are pretty easy to implement with Koha and pure open source. We also use Elo touchscreens with ours. Any computer with enough juice to cough up a web browser should suffice. You will be able to better/easily tweak the interface to better suit touchscreens in Koha 3.12 ...we currently use tampermonkey for this, but when we move to 3.12 we'll be able to streamline things. A barrier to Koha selfcheck implementation would [ might ] be if you needed non-generic equipment like security strip readers, RFID equipment like Galen mentioned. The basic touchscreen kiosk with scanner and even receipt printer is very doable with Koha currently.

One of the things we really work at here at our library is reducing the footprint of our computer hardware, especially for systems used by the public, like a self-checkout would be. We've played with the Raspberry Pi (and Cubieboard) some, and generally feel it doesn't have enough firepower to be a satisfactory web browser, out-of-the-box anyway. A computer we do use more, clearly a couple of steps up from the Pi, is the Zotac. It has enough gas in the engine (sorry for the Americanism, I mean power) for nearly everything we use it for, but we've also had some flake issues with HDMI output, so we're still cautious, but mostly we're happy with it. http://www.zotacusa.com/zbox-ad06-plus.html This computer has the advantage of having a good-enough CPU, RAM and hard drive, and there is no OS installed so there is no penalty for a pre-installed system that we need to just wipe out.

Re: [Koha] Open source replacement for 3M self check station
We don't plan on implementing RFID but I'd be interested in helping out with drop-in 3M replacements for Koha. We use to use the magnetic strip readers and that would be an interesting addition to a selfcheck. As I mentioned before, we do have touchscreen Koha selfchecks deployed and have done some of the legwork as far as the basics: * Touchscreen * Scanner * Receipts * Reproducible - image / iso * Open source only * Works with off the shelf hardware [ tested with Epson and Star printers and Elo touchscreens ] * Works with Koha 3.10 * Helped fund some selfcheck features in koha Our documentation needs some cleanup but I think it'd be decipherable to someone familiar with Linux basics and some basic jQuery/CSS knowledge. If this would be helpful we'd more than happy to forward on our experiences with this. I'll be updating the kiosks for Koha 3.12 in the next few weeks before we upgrade. I'll be able to simplify the kiosks and tear out some hacks thanks to some new selfcheck features in 3.12. But I must say we've been pleased with the kiosks over the past 18 months or so we've had them in the wild.

Re: [Koha] jsprint setup + Receipt printing on Linux clients
Thanks for all your input!
I had this feature working on a test server running the dev channel of Koha
maybe a month ago. It stopped working so, in frustration, I copied the code
from the Wiki. My previous code contained the single quotes and worked as
expected, but lacked the try/catch for falling back to normal printing if
jsPrint was not present. My point is that, with or without the single
quotes representing the 2nd argument, it is not working. Not working in
3.10 stable nor the latest packages for Debian. I thought maybe jsprint's
security settings were to blame, or possibly I'd run into a bug ...but it
could easily be the station I'm testing with. It sounds like the javascript
[ /w empty single quotes ] is correct so I will move on to other
possibilities.
@Randall
For many cases it's overkill, but there are scenarios where this would be
very handy.
1. Allows staff to use a single browser. Only Koha related pages print
silent to the receipt printer. Less confusion for substitutes and
techphobic staff members.
2. Centralized printer settings. Name every receipt printer receipt, or
whatever, and you're done.
3. If you have Linux staff stations --- Firefox/Chrome do not use Last
Used Printer, so your method does not work at all!
So this method allows easy, effortless and centralized receipt printer
setups for Debian/Ubu staff stations. I have not tried portable Firefox, so
that may be a way to get around the Last Used Printer issue, not sure.
Thanks again for your input! Would appreciate some guidance from other
libraries using staff Linux clients as to receipt setup.

This is overkill. If everything you do from this browser is going to be

the setprinter line
...no change. JSprint addon is set to allow any site access. Tried other
permissions to no avail. Does anyone have complete instructions for getting
this to work?
Thanks!

[Koha] jsprint setup -
I am trying to setup silent printing using the 'IntranetSlipPrinterJS' in
Koha 3.10.
Documentation found here:
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Setting_up_slip_printer_to_print_silently
My javascript looks like this:
function printThenClose() {
try
{
jsPrintSetup.setPrinter('TSP143-(STR_T-001)');
jsPrintSetup.clearSilentPrint();
jsPrintSetup.setOption('printSilent', 1);
jsPrintSetup.setOption('headerStrLeft',);
jsPrintSetup.setOption('headerStrCenter',);
jsPrintSetup.setOption('headerStrRight',);
jsPrintSetup.setOption('footerStrLeft',);
jsPrintSetup.setOption('footerStrCenter',);
jsPrintSetup.setOption('footerStrRight',);
jsPrintSetup.print();
}
catch(err)
{
//Default printing if jsPrint-setup is not available
window.print();
window.close();
}
}

[Koha] Label printers
Hello ~ We have just finished configuring and testing labels in Koha and are ready to get started. Can anyone recommend printers? We've had pretty good luck on the color Xerox we've been testing on --- but we'd like to get a BW laser printer for production. Thank you! Chad -- Chad Roseburg Automation Dept.
