You can upload patron images individually by accessing the patron account in the staff interface. Bulk upload is also possible via the Tool menu in the staff interface. 3)How is made the link between the borrower and his photo (all the borrowers com from our ldap)?

First off, using that barcode sequence is a bad idea. It was a bad idea and should really only be retained for backward compatibility for libraries currently using it. Sequential is a better choice. http://postimg.org/image/q6okfbba3/ This phenomena occurs because of the interaction of a short (char-wise) barcode number and poor barcode image scaling code.

In the patron card tool these spacings are adjustable in the sense that the position of each element may be specified. That tool was written after the label tool and so the label tool missed out on that feature. At this point with the clear consensus that a CSS based printing tool is better, the odds of the current label tool having this implemented are pretty low.

It currently contains over 20,000 books - all that remains to be done is to catalogue the remaining 15,000 books, 250,000 magazines and journals, 2,000 charts, several hundred paintings and engravings, and all the other documents, files and manuscripts at The Victory. Importantly, we are now formally accepted as an international library (CaOPIACS) and have access to major libraries for automatic retrieval [Z39.50] of their bibliographic records. Reciprocal use of our records by other libraries is planned in the near future. This online library project has been achieved by an investment of about 1,400 hours of volunteer time into designing and implementing the system (including limited import of some of our spreadsheets), and continues with between 20 and 40 volunteer hours per week in cataloguing. In-house testing continues to make progress on the very complex matters surrounding efficient cataloguing of our periodicals; we tentatively plan on putting these fully on-line by mid-2013, but in the meanwhile all work stations in the library have access to this work-in-progress. Technically, it involves a new 64-bit web server on our premises with enhanced internet connectivity, running a Linux operating system. This has allowed us to develop a customized version of the Koha open-source library system.

Hi Maxine, On Wed, Jan 16, 2013 at 9:58 PM, Maxine Murphy mmur...@waitaki.govt.nzwrote: I would like to create labels for Dewey Numbers for narrow books. The Label Creator does not seem to want to print numbers/letters in a vertical line, one after each other. Call numbers are split based on a standard splitting algorithm. As far as I know there is no way at present to force call numbers to be stacked in the manner you want. Perhaps with Dewey numbers one might add lots of segmentation markers as the splitting code should honour those, but that's a heap of work. Fixing up the code to add an option would be much quicker and more workable. However, I do not see a great demand for that sort of label.

[Koha] Fwd: Koha Database Migration
Yesan, Please send your support requests to the Koha User's list. You will have a much greater chance of getting a response that way. You should be able to do an in place upgrade. After taking a backup of your current database, just install the new version of Koha and browse to the staff interface to run the installer. There is also at least one script you will need to run from the command line to remove the items from the bibs. Probably the best way is to move to the packages. I believe there is a way when installing from the packages to import your existing database. Check out koha-create for more on that. Also, I think the packages will run all of the necessary back-end scripts. Someone else will correct me if I'm wrong.

This is a very valid concern. Given enough data about an individual, it is possible to use data-crunching software to prognosticate the said individual's future actions with a very high level of probability. We are, after all, creatures of habit. This is no small concern and extends well beyond Google. The aggregate of data collected on a given individual today is tremendous. A large part of it is collected with no further consent of the individual than the simple choice of the individual to use technology. While I can understand that people may find the term spyware harsh, from my point of view it is not inappropriate. Google watches a lot of things we do on the internet and I am not comfortable with that. Spyware is not too harsh imho. It is probably not strong enough if the raw truth were known. It's not only Google of course, I am very concerned with how much things are outsourced to third parties nowadays, giving them access to user data and power over our own websites, blogs etc. It sure makes things easier for webmasters, gives them new tools, reduces bandwidth and so on, but it is done on the cost of the user's privacy. Exactly. Nothing is free. You always pay for it somehow. In many cases today, you trade your personal information for ease and convenience. it's still true: If you are going to dance, you will have to pay the fiddler.

We then import the barcode images one by one into a word document where we group them by grade so that the librarians have a scan sheet for each grade. We use Koha's patron card creator to create a patron card batch for each class/grade and use a template generate scan sheets for each which contain the student's name and barcode.

[Koha] Branch Specific System Preferences
Recently the need has arisen locally to run the self-checkout (sco) under multiple user accounts to accommodate multiple branches using the sco module. To the best of my understanding this is not currently possible due to the way in which the user for the sco module is defined using a system preference. While there may be a number of ways to accomplish this, it seems that it may be desirable to have a category of branch specific system preferences. This would be an attempt to group system preferences into one of two general categories of global or branch. Before launching out into writing such a feature, I thought I'd run it by both lists to see if a) I'm way off base, b) if such a feature is desirable, and c) if I'm off on an insanely hard project.

We have adopted open source library automation system KOHA for all our house keeping activities including OPAC and the same has been made available in cloud hosting environment. Anybody can access our OPAC on *Mobile* at site http://mopac.mysore-univ.org/ To see what it looks like in a mobile phone, please use following site on your desktop/laptop: http://iphonetester.com/?url=http://mopac.mysore-univ.org/ Apple claims to have sold record number of Smart-phones smashing the the record of PC sales. The same has been the fate with Laptops and notebooks. ( http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/smartphone-sales-exceed-those-of-pcs-for-first-time-apple-smashes-record/ ) Internet access through Mobile has become the order of the day. This being the case, I strongly feel that all of us should go the mobile way for our OPACs. Our patrons can use their mobile for reserving, renewing the documents and all related activities. We are working towards using Mobile SMSs for overdue reminders, informing the availability of reserved documents, documents purchased against requests, broadcasting important library related messages, etc. The automation model we have adopted is *-* Centralised database, decentralised inputting/ housekeeping activities and Universal access to OPAC. Once completed the OPAC will have 10 Lakh records of documents available in colleges, institutes, PG Centres and various departments, which are directly under the control of Mysore University. We acknowledge OSS Labs, Bangalore for having given quality, timely and cost effective service to us in this matter. Probably ours is the first university library to go mobile way for OPAC (?). Please have a look at it and give your feedback, enabling us to improve the service. Regards, Dr. I.R.N.

Re: [Koha] database migration 3.2 to 3.6
Hi Paul, It's really rather straight forward: 1. Backup your db 2. Get you new installation up and running completely over the default db. 3. Restore db to your new installation (using msyql client, and call it whatever you like so long as you update koha-conf.xml to reflect the new name) 4. Koha will automatically bring the older db up to date after the restore. If you have template customizations, you are in for a bit more of a ride. I think there is a script done by Chris C which may help convert tmpl stuff to tt stuff, but there will probably be much hand work to do after that.

[Koha] Request for Koha data for development
A common problem among those of us who do development work on Koha is the lack of complete datasets for the development and testing of features. This is probably more of a problem for those of us who do not support a large variety of organizations running Koha. I would like to see some good, sanitized datasets available for development and testing. Several of us have plead for this for years. Just now, the lack of a good dataset including a sizable number of serials is preventing me from doing some testing and development on DataTables integration work which has been started by Biblibre. So, this is a request to all of you libraries out there with small, medium, and large datasets who would be willing to contribute sanitized data for development purposes, to do so. It would be a great way to give back to the community that has provided such a wonderful product with all of its attendant benefits.

Re: [Koha] Koha and Third-Party commercial services
Hi Ian, 2011/11/5 Ian Walls ian.wa...@bywatersolutions.com Am I being crazy? Is this a valid issue? Are the advantages of being able to talk to more external products greater than the risks of a few specific company's products getting hardcoded into our ILS? The point is well taken. However, I tend to think that if we were to isolate the unique code for external product Z to something like C4::ExternalServices::Z. and the database fields unique to a new table Z, this would sort of quarantine any undesirable aspects of product Z. The installation of the schema for table Z could be triggered by both a choice in the installer or the running of an separate install script (install_z) later by the sys-admin. The installer would simply call install_z if the choice was made at install time. install_z would recognize that the db was populated (if this were a later addition) and handle any db housework accordingly. Furthering this thought of convenient abstraction, we could have C4::ExternalServices which would provide basic API between Koha and the various C4::ExternalServices::FOO modules. Whatever way we take, quarantining/abstraction should help keep your fear from being realized.

Re: [Koha] Barcode and spine label printing in Koha

After a quick look, this is not possible due to the current limitations in the template interface. Expanding the template interface to accommodate this sort of thing would not be too difficult. Assuming the 'alternating' layout type works as expected, the changes to the template interface would be all that was needed. I've opened a bug for such an enhancement.

To: cnighswon...@foundations.edu Hi All, Before upgrading from Koha 2.2.9 on Windows Server 2003 to Koha 3, I set up a virtual test server of Koha 3 on my Mac with this test install using Zebra. With Zebra enabled in my test environment, I found that when I added items to the Bibliographic database, I had to wait a good ten minutes for Zebra to reindex before that Bibliographic Record/Item Record would appear in the OPAC, whereas with 'NoZebra' the Bibliographic Record/Item Record appears immediately in the OPAC once you click 'add' in the Staff Client. I like to know I have the functionality of when I add in an item to the system, that it will instantly appear in the OPAC, and not have to wait ten minutes for Zebra to reindex every time a record is added to the database. My test environment was on a Intel Core 2 Duo machine with 4GB RAM. I hope that sheds some further light on my choice of 'NoZebra'. I'm hoping there is someone out there in the Koha Community whom is able to help me past this problem I'm having.

Chris, in this library's case (cause they do have professional catalogers) the subject headings all end in periods ... could we use that instead of the comma/space? Assuming there were no periods embedded anywhere else in the data its possible. The 'foo' I mentioned amounts to writing a stored procedure in your db do handle the splitting since MySQL does not have a splitting function. So it would require some coding apart from the reports tool in Koha.

Hi all, The monthly 3.4.x release is a few days behind schedule. As of UTC 20 June 2011, 3.4.x is in a string freeze. 27 June 2011 will be the date of the 3.4.2 release. At this point the only patches that touch strings which will be accepted are blocker and security fixes. Non-string patches will still be applied up to the date of the release. Kind Regards, Chris Nighswonger Release Maintainer Koha 3.2.x/3.4.x ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
Re: [Koha] [Koha-devel] Koha Version 3.4.1
Hi Louise, Welcome to the community. I'm redirecting this to the user's list as it really belongs there. 2011/6/9 louise_tow...@hugoboss.com: Dear Sir/Madam, We need some answers and support based on Koha Version 3.4.1. You may want to have a look here for your support options with Koha: http://koha-community.org/support/ We are having problems like, if two people reserve the same book at the same time, there is no circulation email. We'll probably need more detail to help with this sort of problem such as: Do you have a mail server setup for Koha to use? Are any Koha emails sent successfully? Etc. Also, does the support for Koha have a cost for the service?? That depends upon the type of support you need. If you need one-on-one phone support, you will most likely need to contract with a Koha service provider. There are several excellent choices located at the above link. If you can tolerate a little slower support, volunteer support is available via the list you have emailed. Just send along an email giving as much detail as possible concerning your issues and someone will usually respond in a reasonable amount of time. IRC is another option as well for volunteer, real-time support. I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible to help us use your product most effectively and efficiently, Again, welcome to the community! We certainly hope your involvement with Koha will be long and prosperous. Kind Regards, Chris ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
[Koha] Koha 3.2.x String Freeze
Hi all, The 3.2.x branch is in a string freeze for the 3.2.10 release as of the time of this email. I'm a few hours late, but needed to catch up on pushing some changes to the main repo. Keep in mind that 3.2.10 will most likely be the final release of the 3.2.x branch.

[Koha] 3.2.x String Freeze and Roadmap Update
Hi All, We are going to keep with May 15, 2011 for the 3.2.8 release which puts 3.2.x into a string freeze as of today. The 3.2.x branch has quite a few commits since 3.2.7, so this will be an important release. 3.2.x will thaw on May 16. Subsequent 3.2.x releases will be largely dependent upon commits available for back porting and patches submitted directly against the 3.2.x branch. At present, the plan is to support 3.2.x through 3.2.10 *if* there are commits/patches to do so. When we get to 3.2.10 or when it is clear we will not get there, I'll add a monthly IRC meeting agenda item to discuss EOL for the 3.2.x branch. As always: Thanks to all the individuals who have put time, effort, and money into making Koha a great ILS!

Re: [Koha] perl modue Graphics::Magick not found
On Fri, Apr 29, 2011 at 11:08 AM, Paul pau...@aandc.org wrote: Do you know exactly what Koha 3.4 is looking for? Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick) has a partial version of GraphicsMagick 1.3.12 (at least enough to run Koha 3.2); 3.4 install is looking for GraphicsMagick 1.3.5 which has warnings of being unstable on Ubuntu [1] and does not install direct from the tarball [2] (I could probably, if it's important enough, find a work around in the makefile.) I think its fairly safe to say that any version 1.3.5 or newer should work just fine. The general consensus tends to be a little conservative about upping required versions in Koha often preferring to reflect the minimum required version rather than the latest stable release. Anyway, I'm a little bit loath to force an install of ~96 Mb of code if the functional impact on Koha 3.4 is minimal, or could be fixed with just a couple of lines somewhere else. Any thoughts, please? None of the labels/patron card features will work w/o G::M. Beyond that, I'm not sure, but don't think much else would be affected.

Re: [Koha] perl modue Graphics::Magick not found
2011/4/29 Mizst Audens mizs...@gmail.com For Ubuntu, 1.3.12 is actually the newer version found in 10.10 and is stable. 1.3.5 is an older version from 9.10. The dependency checker tool in Koha simply parses the version number incorrectly so it believes that you have a lower version. Thanks for pointing out this bug.

[Koha] Koha 3.2.7 is now available
./koha_perl_deps.pl -u -m to get a list of any new modules to install during upgrade. Upgrades == The structure of the acquisitions tables have changed significantly from 3.0.x. In particular, the budget hierarchy is quite different. During an upgrade, a new database table is created called fundmapping that contains a record of how budgets were mapped. It is strongly recommended that users of Koha 3.0.x acquisitions carefully review the results of the upgrade before resuming ordering in Koha 3.2.x. Documentation == As of Koha 3.2, the Koha manual is now maintained in DocBook. The home page for Koha documentation is http://koha-community.org/documentation/ As of the date of these release notes, several translations of the Koha manual are available: English: http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/ Spanish: http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual-es/ French: http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual-fr/ The Git repository for the Koha manual can be found at http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=kohadocs.git;a=summary Translations == Complete or near-complete translations of the OPAC and staff interface are available in this release for the following languages: * Chinese * Danish * English (New Zealand) * English (USA) * French (France) * French (Canada) * German * Greek * Hindi * Italian * Norwegian * Portuguese * Spanish * Turkish Partial translations are available for various other languages.

Their continued work very much makes possible the release of 3.2.7 on its announced schedule. Revision control notes == The Koha project uses Git for version control. The current development version of Koha can be retrieved by checking out the master branch of git://git.koha-community.org/koha.git The branch for Koha 3.2.x (i.e., this version of Koha and future bugfix releases) is 3.2.x.

[Koha] 3.2.x Roadmap Update
Hi all, With the release of 3.2.7 and the eminent release of 3.4.0, I want to let the community know what my plans are moving forward. Due to the excellent work during the recent hack-fest sponsored by Biblibre, there were a multitude of bugfixes which did not make it into 3.2.7. My plans are to begin work on getting these backported into the 3.2.x branch over the next week or so. Because there are such a large number, I will be releasing 3.2.8 on May 15, 2011. I had originally intended to go to a bi-monthly release schedule for 3.2.x after the release of 3.2.0. This will still be the case, but will be delayed until the release of 3.2.8. Subsequent 3.2.x releases will take place on the 15th of the month with 3.4.x releases taking place on the 22nd of the month. ***Translators please take especial note of the above dates.*** As long as there are commits to backport to 3.2.x, I will release on a bi-monthly schedule. If there are no commits during a two month period, no release will be made. If you have template related bugfixes you want included in 3.2.x, it will be your responsibility to ensure that they apply correctly to the current 3.2.x branch. With the switch to TT in master, backporting template commits will be nigh impossible. Of course any related underlying logic changes should be applicable to the current 3.2.x branch as well. After the 3.2.10 release, I will add an agenda item for the next monthly IRC to discuss EOL of the 3.2.x branch. The results of that discussion will determine the direction of 3.2.x from that point forward. I plan to handle 3.4.x maintenance in the same fashion as I have handled 3.2.x. If anyone has any suggestions for improvement, please speak up! I'm very open to suggestions, critiques, etc. Thanks to everyone for the hard work being put into Koha lately. Things have moved along at a fantastic rate! Keep up the good work. Kind Regards, Chris Nighswonger Koha 3.2.x/3.4.x Release Maintainer ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha

Before I start adding more Authorized values to a near-production Koha
db,
I'll let others answer the other questions, however, I trust that before you
add, subtract, do-any-sort-of-foo to your near-production DB, you make a
quick backup of it using mysqldump Then you can try all sorts of things
w/out worry.
Better yet, setup a cron job to run a dump at regular intervals so you can
roll back if need be.
