That isn't true, what is above is an array of arrays, represented in
JSON, you can hndle that just fine in whatever you have that is
consuming the JSON

If you want the data instead as an array of hashes (in perl speak)
like your first example of JSON is describing all you need to do is add

&annotated=1 

To the url, (at least in 3.16.0 or older)

Re: [Koha] Search: Biblios not found after reindexing

[Chris Cormack]

Hi Beda

What version did you upgrade from. 3.18.x uses DOM not GRS1 for indexing, I 
suspect that is your problem 

I am going to be in a conference all day so hopefully someone else can help

Hi Elaine 

It's in the 3.18.01 release notes
http://koha-community.org/koha-3-18-01-security-release/

You won't be able to see it in bugzilla the bug is still private until a 3.16.x 
release is done but you can cherry pick the code from the 3.18.x branch in git

Hi Riley

We have almost all of our hosted production Koha running on MariaDB only
about 4 are left on MySQL. No problems noticed.

Re: [Koha] MYSQL to SQL Sever

[Chris Cormack]

Short answer is no, long answer is yes possibly such a tool exists, but the 
schema would have to be changed. 

Perhaps if you told us what you planned to do with it once you moved it to a 
proprietary database server we could offer better suggestions.

It has, there are 1000+ public libraries in Argentina using Koha in a union 
Catalogue.  
PTFS Europe have a 47 library customer with 700,000 patrons. 

There are a few other examples, but I just wanted to squash the idea Koha is 
unproven at scale. 

I pretty much agree with the rest of the email.

I think you will need to look into adding those no standard fields to
the dom files, not just the record.abs file.

Koha 3.18 uses DOM not GRS1 for indexing by default.

I think that is the problem at least.

Hi Lenora

We are going to need some more information, how was your Koha
installed? Packages or tarball, how did you do the upgrade? How are
you reindexing? What version did you come from?

One major point, is that the Liblime software is by their own admission not
Koha. It is based on Koha from about 2008/2009.
It is also maintained by one company (Liblime) whereas Koha, is maintained
by many companies and volunteers worldwide.

Of course this being the Koha list, we would recommend Koha.

Hi Paul

Look in the deleteditems, deletedbiblioitems and deletedbiblio tables. You
should be able to select the rows you want and insert them back into the
right tables.
If that doesn't work, restore one of your older back ups to another MySQL
instance and select the rows from there.

Re: [Koha] Problem with Apache, Wordpress & Koha

[Chris Cormack]

Hi Lenora 

I'd disable WordPress in your apache config, and then you'll narrow it down a 
bit. 

The next thing I'd try before you start apache, log in to mysql as the mysql 
root user. Then you can start apache and then run (in mysql) show processlist. 
That will lost all the queries running. From that you should be able to spot 
what's causing it

For what it's worth, the MARC file looks fine, it has barcodes in 952p as
it should.

So just need to clear up, did you mean items showing without barcodes, or
just no items at all?

In your SIPConfig.xml (or in your case SIPServer.xml) where you have the

Re: [Koha] Incremental fine and purchase suggestion restriction

[Chris Cormack]

Not to play a well worn record again, well ok that's exactly what I am going to 
do. 

1/ It's good to post suggestions to the mailing list 
2/ It's much better to file an enhancement or new feature request at 
bugs.koha-community.org 
3/ It's even better to spec up the desired feature in the form of an RFC at 
wiki.koha-community.org 
4/ It's better still to fund a developer to work on your feature. Or find some 
way to convince them that working for free for you is worth doing. 
5/ work on the feature yourself 

1,2,3 are good starts but without 4 or 5 it is highly unlikely the feature will 
be created. 

Either that or you could manage to get a grant so the developers could all 
afford to retire and work for free. :)

Hi Khayam

We can't really help you with that, it's not part of the Koha project, but a 
3rd party developed thing
The only person who could help you with it is the person who made it.

This tells us you are most definitely not installing using the packages.

You should use the packages is you are on a debian based distribution (like
ubuntu)

Please try installing with the packages, using the urls that people have
sent. And give
full feedback, not, it's not working. That is not useful for us to help you.

You should only use the tarball method of install on a system where you can
not use the packages.

First up 3.4.1 was released 3 years ago. So it is unlikely anyone will be able 
to help
you with a version that old. 
You might want to upgrade (on your test server first) and check if that fixes
the problem

Re: [Koha] Circulation anomalies

[Chris Cormack]

Switch on the access logs in Apache, if they aren't already on. Then you can 
see if someone is indeed returning them and from what ip. 

It's incredibly unlikely Koha is doing this itself or we would have had many 
many reports of this. 

The fact you are seeing returns.pl in the error log means someone or something 
is hitting the returns page. 
(they are warns and can be ignored but it does help us track down that someone 
is using the returns page. Access logs will tell us much more)

Its not that issue, but you are close, if you check the patch, on the bug it 
should 
help 

Probably we should move this to the koha-devel list if you want to discuss code 
specifics :)

Hi All

Please file a bug report for this at bugs.koha-community.org

We think we have tracked it down to something to do with fix for large MARC 
records
But are continuing to work on it. 
It is something to do with the IncludeSeeFromInSearches systempreference
If you have had this on, or have it on, it makes the links so that when you 
search for
the 400, you can still find results.

To do this its linked, however in 3.12.x and 3.14.x it appears these links were 
filtered
out when building the facets and for some reason this is not occuring.

I think its to do with an indicator of z that gets added to 100 (of the biblio) 
on indexing (you wont see
it on the record itself, its added when indexing)

The old code got rid of this, so no, this is not required behaviour

Hi Crispin

You should only ever have one $document.ready so you can put this together as 
one block

$(document).ready(function(){
  $("#auth legend:contains('Log in to your account')").text("Log in to your 
library account");
  $("#auth label[for='userid']").html("Library Card Number:");
  $("#auth label[for='password']").html("PIN:");
  var holdlinks = $("a:contains('Place Hold'),a:contains('Place hold')");
  $(holdlinks).text("Get It Now!");
  $("a:contains('Browse Shelf')").text("See Similar Items");
});

$(window).load(function(){
$("input[value='Place Hold']").attr("value","Get  It Now!");

Re: [Koha] Data Migration, TLC to Koha

This is true, but there is far more data than just the bibliographic data. That 
is always the easiest bit. There is circulation, patrons, fines, acquisitions 
etc etc. 

It is a non trivial task, however it is certainly possible to do it yourself 
given enough time.

 I imagine the quotes will have been provided as commercial in confidence. And 
as such sharing them without permission is not a  good look. 

Collection size is actually pretty immaterial to how long a migration will 
take. Getting the data out in a good format is the hardest but and whether it's 
1000 or 10 it takes about the same time.

No, in fact I've never run it on 8023. It will run on any port provided you 
configure it to.

Re: [Koha] Patron search error

I'd ask IT to check what version of DBIx::Class they have installed. 

You could also check the about page in Koha. At a guess I think that's the 
problem (wrong version of DBIx::Class)

They aren't subscribed. Like the original reply said. They aren't on the list

Re: [Koha] Koha/Evergreen Comparison Site

[Chris Cormack]

I'm actually pretty ambivalent about it. 
I don't see pitching Koha vs Evergreen is helpful. 
Either of them are always going to be better than any proprietary system. 
Simply because they are not proprietary. 

We'd be better off with a tool that shows how they are both better than Alma 
for example. (For one our developments are steered by users not an equity firm 
:)) 

That's my roundabout way of saying "I won't be updating it"

I agree, there is no such thing as an 'official koha support provider' or a
'registered koha support company'
All there is is a list of organisations who offer Koha support, and have
asked to be listed.

Luckily librarians are trained in researching and classifying knowledge, so
doing their due diligence should be nice and easy :)

Looks like you have a problem with your mysql server.

The mail was not sent to the list Chrispin but just to you personally I am

She isn't, not as far as I can tell, she probably replied via nabble or gmane.

Hi Susan

Have you seen
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nz.net.catalyst.KiritakiKoha

This does a bunch of the above already, and could be extended to do
the rest. It isn't under active development, but with some funding it
could easily be :)

Yep, I can recreate bug on 3.14.1, on 3.14.5 and on master.
So definitely you file a bug at bugs.koha-community.org .. we
shouldn't be able to send a file to Koha that causes the inventory.pl
script to spin out of control.

It isn't specific to your file either, however it works fine in 3.12.12

So what I did is git bisect
And tracked it down to this commit
0313856d9a1a9c0c002da0aead8c8516b51e1c11

Which is from Bug 7684 
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7684

So if you wanted to add that information as well to the bug it might
help people fix it.

But that is certainly the commit that slows it down immensely

This is telling you you are missing a perl module.

If you were using the packages, this would have been installed for you. But
if you are using the tarball, you will want to do (in your unpacked tarball)

./koha_perl_deps.pl -m

This will tell you all the missing modules.

Then you need to install them

[Koha] New tarballs for 3.12.12

[Chris Cormack]

Hi all

Unfortunately I made a typo in the updatedatabase for the 3.12.12 release.
Thanks to Colin for catching it.

I have uploaded new fixed tarballs, if you have already upgraded or
installed 3.12.12, you will need to go to System Preferences, then to the
local use tab.
Then change the version syspref from
3.12112000

3.1212000

Upgrade Koha to a modern version of 3.8.x (there have been 2 security
releases since this was fixed so you should have upgraded anyway)

You need to  restart the server, not the client.  In any case Koha is not
the issue, mysql is. So if you can't get the server to start you might need
to look into that.

Is it really MARC8 not UTF8 ? Because the Leader is saying it is UTF8

It could be because it is trying to do a conversion it doesn't need
to, and hanging on that

(Position 9 in the leader =a == UTF8)

I doubt it is a Zebra one, what I would do is try this

It differs massively. About 4 years and 20, 000 code commits differently. 

Anything we tell you here will be wrong for Liblime Academic.  For one, in Koha 
we don't store the item data in MARC, but add it on export, and indexing. 

We use different search engines, different templates systems and even a 
different reporting tool. And that's just scratching the surface.

There is for Koha yes, the wiki at wiki.koha-community.org and the 
schema.koha-community.org. In Koha you can also have custom XSLT that controls 
the view. As far as I know, none of this is relevant for the Liblime product.

Go to systempreferences, go to circulation

Then change

RenewalPeriodBase

(Koha will do what you tell it to do, in this case you must have the
systempreference set to the old due date of the checkout, change it to
be the current date)

After you got these files did you generate the templates?

koha-translate --install zh-Hans-TW

You have to create the templates from the po files, before they will
show in the interface to be picked

Hope this helps

However the move items one is explicitly not, as it can take a long time.

It looks like they are in the MARC, we display it that way, they are
stored entirely in the items table though, not in the
biblioitems.marcxml blob.

That is why new items are fine.

Item data in 3.4.x and above is no longer stored in the MARC but in
the items table, did you run the script to tidy that up?

from the INSTALL file

Koha 3.4.x or later  no longer stores items in biblio records.
If you are upgrading from an older version ou will need to do the
following two steps, they can take a long time (several hours) to
complete for large databases

 misc/maintenance/remove_items_from_biblioitems.pl --run
 misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r

I would back up the db, and try this

What version of Koha are you using? And if you want Koha you should be looking

The first and most important thing you need to do is upgrade.

3.8.6 is 1.5 years old, and there have been 17 3.8.x releases since
including 2 security releases, the current release of 3.8.x is 3.8.23
.. if you do not upgrade you need to make the changes mentioned here.

Modern Koha does not store passwords as md5 we use bcrypt.

But other than that this could work
