Re: [Koha] jquery : barcode triggers submit
Chad,
A better solution is to remove this class :
$(tag_952_subfield_p_971027).removeClass(noEnterSubmit);
And, of course, you will need a valid selector. 971027 is a random
number, and the tag_952... is an id and not a tag name. Something
like $('input[id^=tag_952_subfield_p]') might serve you better.
Regards,
Jared

Re: [Koha] patron categories
Eric, I am having a lot of problems getting Koka (version 3.14.08) up and running. I am running things on Linux (Fedora 7). I have complied, tested, and installed the latest and greatest versions of YAZ and Zebra. I am running MySQL 14. I have run zebrasrv but I do not see any ports ( or 9998) open when I run netstat -tulpn. I don’t have a2enmod nor a2ensite on my computer, but after symbolically linking the koha-httpd.conf to my Apache conf.d directory, and after editing the IP address from localhost to my machine’s “real” IP address, I am able to connect to both the public interface as well as the intranet with my Web browser. Brave. I wouldn't be willing to use Koha under a non-Debian-based Linux distribution. There be dragons. Perhaps you mean RHEL 7? Fedora 7 is pretty old. Also, I'm not sure what you mean by MySQL 14, but you should really probably be using MySQL or MariaDB 5.1+ if that's not what you have. The default configuration for Zebra does not open any ports. Koha uses unix sockets for communicating with Zebra by default. Creating a patron profile is problematic. I fill to the form trying to create a staff patron. I summit the form. The screen goes blank for a second or two, and returns saying No categories have been defined. Create a new category.” I’m stuck in an endless loop. What am I missing? You need to create a patron *category* not a new staff patron. Under Administration-Patron categories (http://manual.koha-community.org/3.16/en/patscirc.html#patcats ). Regarding your other e-mail, I have no idea why adding a Z39.50 server wouldn't be working. It works fine for me. However, to address your thought that sometimes Koha is using the command line client and sometimes it's using Perl DBI to access the database, the only time Koha uses the command line client is for the initial installation. Other than that, pretty much everything is via DBI. Good luck!

Re: [Koha] Effects of stopping the chron job
Jerry, At this time we are concerned with the fine updates that occur when the chron job runs every night. We see customer service issues arising where a patron may exceed the fine threshold of $10 with only a few items out, but need to renew these items and would like to do it online. I've never heard of any library having problems with this. Why don't you set OPACFineNoRenewals to higher than $10? What we would like to know is if there are any library systems out there that assess fines and have turned off the chron job? What were the impacts of doing so? If you did do it and then changed back we would like to know that information as well. If you are a single library and have done this please also respond. If you mean that you would like to only calculate fines on return, that seems problematic to me: it means anyone with internet access can renew their books online and avoid fines, while anyone who is on the wrong side of the digital divide is presumably going to get charged when they walk into the library with their overdue book.

Right now I run it at 7:30 AM each morning with -run-as-root -b -r -v I am quite surprised you need to do that since you say you installed from Debian packages. All the installations I have done through the Debian packages always have the zebra incremental indexing properly set in cron and it is usually set to run every 5 minutes.

[Koha] Koha 3.12 beta released (and you can help!)
About an hour ago I cut a beta for Koha 3.12.0. The tarball is available at http://download.koha-community.org/koha-3.12.00-beta1.tar.gz and the release notes at http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=blob_plain;f=misc/release_notes/release_notes_3_12_0.txt;h=0e8a3cf74de202af325069b7aec329eff229ec11;hb=a4f4d69c3b0f82e765b20cdee7be95456ee9db23 Packages will follow in the squeeze-dev repository sometime at the beginning of the week. As a reminder, Koha 3.12 is in feature freeze so any features that are not in the beta will not be in Koha 3.12, and I will not respond to any complaints about features that didn't make the cut-off other than forwarding them to the Koha mailing lists. So, what now? Now, we seek out and destroy bugs! If you have a spare testing server, take the beta for a spin, and try to break it. Sure, you say, I know that I can do that. But what can I help with that deserved an exclamation mark in the subject line? I'm glad you asked. Here is a list of some things that need to be done before May 22: * Koha has to be translated. I will be asking the Translation Manager to pull the latest strings into Pootle so that the translation teams can get a head start (and if you know any language other than American English, you can help translate! Head on over to http://translate.koha-community.org/ and get started) * Koha's documentation has to be updated. We have a Documentation Manager, but if you have any ideas about how to document a new feature, or an old feature, or clarify instructions, you, too, can write documentation. Take a look at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Editing_the_Koha_Manual if you want to work on this. * Koha's installation instructions need to be updated. Some of the installation instructions that are included in the tarball were last updated (for all practical purposes) in 2010. That's a long time ago in computer time. If you have some thoughts on how the various INSTALL.* files in the tarball might be updated to be more clear, open up a text editor and send in your corrections (preferably as a patch, but if you have suggestions and are not comfortable with git, an e-mail to koha-devel will work too). * Enhancement bugs need to be reclassified. During the 3.12 release cycle we added a new category of bug report: New feature. However, a lot of the new features that are going into 3.12 are still listed as enhancements in Bugzilla, which means the automated release notes generator doesn't pick them up properly. Any time the RM spends fixing that is time the RM does not spend fixing problems with Koha. This is is a task that anyone can do. All it takes is a bit of critical thinking and an account on Bugzilla: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/ * Open bug reports need to be (re)confirmed. We have scads of bug reports in Bugzilla, and many of them probably report bugs that have been fixed for weeks, months, or years. If we can get all the bugs that are already fixed closed, it'll be easier to focus on the bugs that still exist. Head on over to Bugzilla, choose some old bugs, and start testing! * Bugs need to be fixed. This goes hand-in-hand with the testing that you've all heard me to talk to death, but once a bug has been found, it has to be fixed. If you know how to fix a bug, please do! * Bug fixes need to be tested. There are many bugfixes already on bugzilla, and there will be many more being written in the next two months. After a patch has been written, it has to be tested by at least one third party (i.e. not the developer and not me) in order to move through the QA process to inclusion in Koha. Even if you don't have a spare server, you can test patches in the sandboxes hosted by BibLibre: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Sandboxes * Volunteers must be found, recruited, and/or made for 3.14. If you want to be involved in 3.14, there's still time to volunteer for an open position.

[Koha] Koha 3.12 feature freeze
Hello. It is 11:54pm on March 22 in Lima, Peru, and Koha 3.12 is now in feature freeze. This means that further enhancements and new features will not be considered for inclusion in Koha 3.12. We have the next two months to focus on fixing bugs and making Koha 3.12 the most stable Koha release ever. Sometime in the next few days I will be releasing a beta of Koha 3.12. I hope everyone will take some time to test it and shake out all the bugs before the final release on May 22. The next date to be aware of is May 1. On May 1 the master branch enters string freeze and no patches that make changes to the text of any part of the Koha web interface (including documentation patches!) will be accepted so that the translators have plenty of time to get 3.12 translated. Regards, Jared P.S. Any enhancement or feature patch that did not apply or that I marked failed QA today is not eligible for 3.12. P.P.S. There is one feature (bug 5343) that I pushed due to librarian and developer interest even though it was not 100% ready.

Re: [Koha] Cannot find items after update
Sheldon, I am current trying /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -a -b Would leaving out -v -r -x cause any issues? Only in the sense that the command would not do what you need. Nothing should be *broken* as a result of that command line, but the commands do different things. Without -r, you are not rebuilding your indexes, and without -x you are not using XML. Putty timing out is probably a result of Putty not working well if you have even the slightest problem with your internet connection (for example, if you're using wireless in a building with metal or concrete walls). I would suggest running the rebuild in screen or tmux, or even just daemonizing it with so that the rebuild isn't killed when you lose the connection.

Re: [Koha] multiple installation
Aleya, I'm trying to run multiple libraries with koha (standard installation of koha 3.08.09.tar.gz) on a single server single installation of koha (Debian squeeze Linux Based). I’ve used koha common package for necessary perl module. Then I've change of the necessary section of conf file and virtual host. Now the problem arises in the searching of the OPAC and Staff Client. All the opac shows the same search result though I've rebuild them differently. Actually it shows the last rebuild index on searching. Any fruitful suggestion on this regards? You should use packages for installing multiple instances on a single server. Actually, you should use packages in all circumstances, but this is a case when the packages are particularly useful. The koha-common package has scripts for all the instance administration. If you insist on using the tarball for installation, you will just have to adjust paths, etc., manually (and be prepared for problems any time you want to upgrade).

I can't see where it is coming from.Koha 3.06.04.000 *** We have noticed a script error in the library's Koha search interface that leaves an unintended bit of program code showing in the upper left-hand corner of search interface. You can see an example of it here: http://catalog.streamnetlibrary.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-shelves.pl?viewshelf=23sortfield=title The '//]]' bit in the upper left should not be there and is the result of a commented-out piece of code that should either be removed or placed before the end /script tag above it. This is not an issue anymore in recent versions of 3.6.x. I just checked in 3.6.10 (the version I am using in production) and that artifact is not there. I'd suggest upgrading on your test server and seeing if that solves the problem. If not, it is probably a stray line in one of the sysprefs for customizing the OPAC.

Re: [Koha] Analytic records question
Cab, We're planning on using Koha's analytic records to handle cataloging of our ereaders and the ebooks loaded onto them. Excellent! I am a big proponent of analytic records. (Info on analytic records here: http://manual.koha-community.org/3.8/en/cataloging.html#cataloganalytics) I'm able to link our ebook record to the record for our ereader. When I check out the ereader, it is correctly checked out in both the staff public interfaces, as expected. The record for the ebook, however, shows that it is still available (while also showing that the ereader is checked out). Is this the expected behavior? Our preference would be for the ebook to show as checked out as well, even though there's no guarantee that this particular item was desired or read by the patron and we may have to make adjustments to our circulation statistics. I think there might be some confusion about how analytic records work in this context. If you are using the EasyAnalytics feature -- and that makes sense in this context -- you have only one item record which both the host record and the analytic records are linked to. When you check out the Nook, you check out that item. The two records you link to tell me that you have two items: a Nook, which includes a copy of Left Behind, and an e-book which is not on the Nook. If your only copy of the e-book is on the Nook, there should be only one item listed. If you also have a downloadable e-book, there should be a second item which would naturally not be checked out, since it does not circulate with the Nook. If the e-book circulates independently of the Nook but is currently on the Nook so that the patron can read it, analytics are inappropriate, because there is no mandatory relationship between the e-book and the Nook. Hope that helps to clarify.

Re: [Koha] how to use marc records displayed on library web pages?
X, I do a fair bit of cataloging for a small library that has a lot of old/rare books, though I am an amateur librarian. I often use worldcat to find a library that has a copy of our uncatalogued book (when I can't find any z39.50 accessible sources). These libraries often have an option to display a MARC record. Is there some way to get such a display into Koha besides manually copy/pasting bits and pieces into a new MARC record? Not easily if they do not provide a Z39.50 server or raw MARC record download. What you are seeing when looking at the MARC view is a representation of the MARC format that has been designed to be easily readable for humans. MARC records are actually (usually, anyway) stored in the binary format that LC provides their records in. For example: http://tripod.brynmawr.edu/find/Record/.b3780640/Details#tabnav Copying and pasting the displayed record into a text file and trying to import it via stage for import does not work. I notice that Library of Congress has an option to download MARC records for its items, which can be 'staged for import without a problem. Looking a the contents of the LoC downloaded MARC file, it looks almost nothing like the ones displayed by libraries which don't have a download option. I've searched the web (i think) exhaustively for clues as to how to actually handle or convert these display marc records into something usable (something that looks like the LoC downloaded MARC records), but with not success. I've installed and attempted to use MarcEdit and IsisMarc hoping they might have some functionality to convert/transform this data... but no luck. It just seems crazy that there's all this info out there, and I can't find any way to use it beyond the crudest (but better than nothing!) methods of cherry picking. What am I missing? Most libraries that use copy from libraries other than their national library use OCLC or Skyriver (or a similar union database) for obtaining records. It would be possible to write screen scrapers to harvest MARC data from OPACs, but since there is no standard formatting, you would need at the very least a screen scraper per ILS, if not a screen scraper per catalog to cope with minor customizations made by various libraries.

Re: [Koha] About looking for Architecture....
John, Specific questions are much more appropriate than broad questions. Remember that everyone who responds is volunteering their time to help you. Please respect their time by only asking those questions that cannot be answered by a few minutes worth of research using Google or your favorite search engine. Is 100% Perl written? No. As you can see from the ohloh page, Koha also includes SQL, Javascript, and XSLT: http://www.ohloh.net/p/koha how many types of archives exists? what the system will do when operational?\ I don't know what you mean by this. If you mean how many types of libraries are there, the answer is indeterminate, but lots. The manual at http://koha-community.org/documentation/ provides detailed information about what Koha does. How it works inside the client and server? at glace of course. Koha is web-based. There is a LAMP server with a Zebra or Solr indexing engine, and users connect via a web browser. if there are a sketch will be nice, There is not one, so far as I know.

[Koha] Search operators
Hello. As many of you know, I have been working on rewriting Koha's search code so that it is more palatable than a plate of burned nine-day-old spaghetti. The initial part of the development is nearing completion, and I look forward to submitting a patch to the community for sign off[1]. In the course of the first section of the development, I have run into an interesting question. We currently support greater than and less than operators in our searches, but I cannot think of anywhere we might want to use them other than with dates. Does anyone have any scenarios where a greater than/less than operator would actually be useful in a bibliographic or authority search (other than in date searches)? Regards, Jared [1] If you're interested in seeing my work so far, the search rewrite branch in my public repo has all the code: http://git.cpbibliography.com/?p=koha.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/search_rewrite The RFC is at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/C_%26_P_Search_Rewrite_RFCand I would still welcome any and all comments. -- Jared Camins-Esakov Bibliographer, C P Bibliography Services, LLC (phone) +1 (917) 727-3445 (e-mail) jcam...@cpbibliography.com (web) http://www.cpbibliography.com/ ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
Re: [Koha] linking authorities to biblios
Haik, We are using the latest koha 3.8. After the successful installation we have imported both our catalog and authority records from the old ILS. Initially, authorities were not linked to the biblio records, but when we run link_bibs_to_authorities.pl, this problem was solved. So, in the *Used in* field it was written that the authority is used in 1 record. However, even after this when we try to search for a record using the *authority 400 $a* field instead of the author name, nothing is found. It is worth to mention that although both authority and biblio records are in Armenian, they are properly indexed. How can we handle this problem? Any ideas? In Koha 3.8 there is no support for what you want to do. However, starting in 3.10 that feature *is* available by turning on the syspref IncludeSeeFromInSearches.

Re: [Koha] Do you like the way Koha is sorting facets and facets results ?
Elaine, What constitutes 'popularity'? I have a feeling this is a useless sort order for a research collection like ours that doesn't loan out anything. Good old fixed data like name, title, date are what suits our readers best. Popularity in the case of facets occurs to the number of times a particular value occurs in the set being used to build facets. It has nothing to do with circulation popularity.

Re: [Koha] 505 Enhanced Contents Note
Charles, My library recently made the switch to Koha, and I am thus still getting used to it. One major trouble I am having is with the 505 field if I want to include an enhanced (as opposed to simply formatted) contents note to allow patrons to access chapters of edited volumes by title/author searches rather than just keywords. I am used to formatting them as a chain of $t /$r within a single field, but since Koha has separate form fields for each subfield, I feel a little out to sea on this one. Every variation I try makes the display unusable and doesn't visually connect the $t subfield to the appropriate $r subfield in the OPAC. Do I need to repeat the entire 505 tag for each individual entry? I saw in the list archive that there is a bug-fix related to the 505 field, will this fix the problem, or is there some aspect of formatting that I am missing? Any help would be very appreciated. Welcome. The fix for bug 6617 ( http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6617 ) should do what you need.

Re: [Koha] Was: Lists; needed features, including location and staff level sharing, now Cart in staff interface
Elaine, Below is a screenshot of the authorized values for locations: Description is what normally displays in the staff interface. Description (OPAC) is what displays in the OPAC.

Re: [Koha] Was: Lists; needed features, including location and staff level sharing, now Cart in staff interface
Elaine, We've disabled the Cart function, so I don't know if that is any worse or better. If it will show location, I will re-enable it. I just enabled Cart in the staff interface. It's a small improvement, in that it gives the call number (but not the number of items or their availability) and location information. However, despite being in the staff interface, it uses the location information as displayed in the OPAC. For security reasons (rare, old book) we do not display specific location information in the OPAC, so the locked cupboards, safe, offices, annexes, etc. all display as 'Storage', and the specifics are only available in the staff interface. It seems to me that the Cart in the staff interface should display the locations that ordinarily display in the staff interface. Is this a known bug? The cart in the staff interface displays all the location information I am aware of. Where are you putting this secret location information?

Re: [Koha] Need tips on tweaking search results
David, Is there any way to modify OPAC search results? When my patrons search the OPAC using keywords, I would like for hits to rank higher if they appear in the title .. I am getting good hits but they don't always seem to be ranked right .. make sense? At present there is not, no. However, the search rewrite I have proposed ( http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/C__P_Search_Rewrite_RFC) offers the possibility of fixing relevancy ranking. Headings 1f and 2b fix the problem you identify, and optional component 3c would allow you to modify the relevancy ranking criteria from the staff client. Part 1b has been fully funded, and work on that will begin soon. If you would like to see relevancy configured a particular way, definitely let me know your thoughts, and we'd be happy to have you work with us on the search rewrite (testing, not coding, unless you feel like doing a bit of coding:).

Tom, I am trying to install koha-3.0.8.4 on debian but when i ran: perl Makefile.PL I get the following error: * unable to locate Koha configuration file koha-conf.xml at /root/koha-3.08.04/C4/Context.pm line 360.* Can somebody help me understand the cause of this error and how i can solve it. This means you haven't installed Koha yet. It is not cause for alarm or concern. You can just continue through the instructions. However, I have an even better suggestion: use packages ( http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian). They take care of most of the configuration for you.

Re: [Koha] 3.8.4 Error message when editing authorities
It took me a week, but I found the problem when testing bug 8304 (which, incidentally, is a very cool feature that might allow MARC21 libraries to use freefloating subject division authorities). The merge function uses XML syntax, which we lost support for sometime during the development cycle for 3.8.0. Fortunately it's an easy fix, and I'll have a patch momentarily. I reported a bug here: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8743 If you wanted to sign off on the patch which I'm about to post, that'd be super keen.

Re: [Koha] My Koha is down .. Software error?
David, No, we are not using apache server and Koha was working on Friday .. it has suddenly stopped (broke over the weekend). No system changes were made. The error you describe is the result of the MySQL user being incorrect in the koha-conf.xml file. In this case, you have it configured to log into Koha using the MySQL user www-data. You will want to make sure the user name and password at the end of koha-conf.xml are correct, and that you have the KOHA_CONF variable set correctly for Plack (I presume you are using Plack, if you are not using Apache?)

Re: [Koha] Zebra not updating biblios automatically in koha 3.8
Doug, I would concur that 001 and 003 need to be taken together to have any chance of a unique identifier. Our library has our own unique 003 (UkLoVW). For indexing, I suspect a better key to hand to zebra would be the system control number (035 $a). Are these kept unique by koha? We already have a unique identifier, the biblionumber. It's stored in 999$c. The bug in this case is that the DOM indexing uses the contents in 001 if you have it populated. While I do believe this is a problem, I am not sure how this would the cause of our ModAuthority failures however, unless I am missing something. See the other mail thread for details (3.8.4 Error message when editing authorities). Its possible these issues are related but I am not sure. The ZOOM error you reported might have something to do with this, but I just don't know. I don't think I've ever seen problems with ZOOM element (as opposed to attribute) before.

Re: [Koha] Zebra not updating biblios automatically in koha 3.8
Doug, Biblio number is only relevant for bibs. What should be used for authorities? That is what I was referring to below but the problem may be common to both objects. Authid is already stored in 001 in authority records. The problem that Ian reports is relevant specifically and only to bib records.

Re: [Koha] Zebra not updating biblios automatically in koha 3.8
Doug, So environment variables are not the issue. We are carefully managing those. Make sure when you are using cron jobs that you set the environment variables IN YOUR CRONTAB. Setting environment variables elsewhere is a recipe for confusion and misery down the road. However, this is -- as you say -- not the problem. I have tried using the new tool checkNonIndexedBiblios.pl (from patch 6566) and it indeed finds a few recent biblios that are not indexed. Using the -z option to mark them for indexing followed by a manual run of rebuild_zebra -b -v -z did not get the biblios indexed. I cranked up the debugging on zebraidx (by modifying rebuild_zebra.pl and using -v -v) and did not see any obvious errors in the output that would suggest why indexing was failing. Did you change your bibliographic frameworks? It could be a matter of the biblionumber not being stored properly. The other thing to do is to confirm that the non-indexed biblios are *actually* getting added to the zebraqueue by the 6566 script. It's kind of a long shot, but it could be an issue with the zebraqueue table getting corrupted. I've seen this happen when the zebraqueue table got too large, and disk space was low.

Re: [Koha] Why are our borrowers being restricted?

It's not exactly obvious, but could you check the Overdue notice/status triggers again, and make sure that you either don't have overdue triggers for any libraries other than the default library, or that *none* of them have the Restrict box checked?

Re: [Koha] Searching shelving location fails
Elaine, I thought I had responded to this, but it looks like I was mistaken. We have storage all over the building so shelving locations are vital, and occasionally subject to change. We've got the locations all set up in authorized values, and all the item records have shelving locations in 952 c. But when I search loc=st or any of the other codes we use for shelving locations, nothing comes up. Try mc-loc=st. loc is not a valid prefix.

Re: [Koha] Circulation Errors after Upgrade

As a part of the testing of the new server, our librarians finally took a look at the system and found some errors and I really have no clue where to start when it comes to troubleshooting them.

Re: [Koha] Let's fix it together!
Daniel, I don't know if this is within the scope of the project, but as an example of a search that doesn't work, last year I spent a lot of time effort failing to come up with a search query that would show all new titles at a branch. I constructed a CCL query I thought would return biblios having at least one item with both a given branch and an acquisition date in the last 30 days. But among the search results was a biblio with two items, one at the desired branch but acquired more than 30 days ago, and one acquired in the last 30 days but at a different branch. Galen ultimately confirmed for me that you can't query for an item that meets two conditions, as CCL queries extend across the whole biblio--if one item in a biblio meets one of the conditions and another item meets the other condition, the biblio is returned. There are two issues going on with this search. The first is the indexing configuration which is not part of the proposal. The second is the query syntax. If we fixed the indexing (which wouldn't be too hard), writing a search that took advantage of the composed index would still be highly problematic. In fact, I think the only way to do it right now would be to use PQF to do a regular expression search to find all books added at a branch in the last two months. I'm making up a new composed index that consists of branch|acquisition date, and may be putting some of the terms in the wrong order but here's an example of what I mean: pqf=@attr 3=1 @attr 5=102 @attr 2=3 @attr 1=9952 branch|20120[67] You could try the following, as well, though I wouldn't really recommend it: ccl=itemacq,regexp-1,first-in-field:branch|20120[67] I'm sure a similar search would be possible in Solr, as well, but it would not be portable. Once you figured how how to do the search in Zebra, you would have to start all over again if you decided to switch to Solr or vice versa. In contrast, if we parsed queries ourselves, that search could be: itemacq like ^branch|20120[67] (and it would work in both search engines) You could also, of course, just use the PQF search and it would be translated into something that Solr could understand. Hope that helps clarify.

Re: [Koha] Search not working after upgrade
Ryan, Our system uses 090 tags instead of the default 952 tags for items...could this be related to why my search is screwed up? If I choose administration-koha to MARC mapping these are the options that are set under items: Koha field Tag SubfieldLib itemnumber 090 g Koha biblioitemnumber (auto-generated) Edit barcode 090 e Piece designation (barcode) Edit homebranch 090 b School Code Edit itemcallnumber 090 a Koha full call number Edit ccode 090 f Collection Edit volumenumber090 d Volume Number Edit This would be the problem, yes. Right now changing Koha to MARC mappings has no effect on searching. With search rewritten it would be fairly straightforward to respect the mappings for searches. Until that's done, though, you will need to change your mappings to use the standard 952 fields (and hope for the best).

Re: [Koha] Solr
Stacy, I'll address the points that are not answered in the proposal that Brooke linked to. Does anyone know if switching from Zebra to Solr will let Koha libraries use a stopwords list? Solr allows the use of stopwords (as would a decent query parser such as the one I propose writing). However, the Solr code in Koha right now does not make use of the stopwords feature. To my mind, that is a good thing. If we used stopwords, the poetry journal The would be unfindable (and yes, there is such a journal: I had a nightmare and a half trying to find the record when I had an issue to catalog at the NYPL; thankfully their catalog doesn't throw away stopwords anymore). And things would be even worse when searching for French books. Consider the case of the À thé and Le thé. In the US we would probably search for a the and le the. If someone can Also, will Solr have any effect on fuzzy searching defaults? It will. Fuzzy searching has completely different semantics in Solr compared to Zebra. We briefly noted that fact in the proposal, along with a footnote identifying the algorithms that Solr uses for fuzzy searching (and, yes, I am aware that the second algorithm listed is generally used as an alternate name for the first... I have no explanation of why the Solr docs used the two names like they were different). Whether the fuzzy behavior is closer to what you want I could not say. My personal preference, like yours, is to not be fuzzy, and just suggest better searches. Lastly, is there anyone sponsoring or working on a did you mean... opac response to zero retrieval searches? At our library, we'd probably choose a did you mean... spelling suggestion choice over the automatic fuzzy spelling assumptions that are currently in the system. I realize this would probably be listed in bugzilla, but I'm not sure exactly how to search for this. We have not yet added bugs for the various parts of the search rewrite.

That said, it is my opinion that any catalog that requires stopwords in order to offer relevant results is broken. Relevance ranking should take into account that a given word in a query is statistically overrepresented in the results, and therefore should be considered less relevant than other words in the query.

Hello. We want your feedback in this process. We don't want to develop in a vacuum. It would be nice to have a few discussions like we did with holds slips. I would like to amplify on this a little bit. We *really* want your feedback on search. In fact, it is an absolute requirement for bringing Koha's search up to where it should be. We need examples of searches that don't work, and also examples of searches that work really well. Both types of searches need to be working at the end of this process. Before any code is written, we're going to have to come up with a set of tests that allow us to determine when the work is finished. Some work was done on the wiki, documenting some searches that should work in Solr ( http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Solr/Lucene_Test_Queries_for_Koha ) but we need more examples. We'll need people to test things and to run searches that will make us laugh and cry. Actually, this reminds me of a joke. A bibliographer is at the police station for some business, and is asked for some fingerprints... sorry, I'll refrain. I would welcome any interesting searches you could send this way, though (and if possible please include a link to your catalog so I can see why Koha is giving you the results you are getting).

Re: [Koha] RLIN
Paul, Thanks Nicole. Good background (shame that our budget doesn't permit full membership of WorldCat) but I'm still looking for the technical background for ease of cataloguing. Am I correct in summarizing: - the RLIN is not searchable, per se, and its appearance in the GUI serves no useful purpose to cataloguers? That is not correct, no. You can search it using the prefix an: - therefore, all frameworks can hide (but not delete) all subfields referring to RLIN? It would be best not to delete subfield $9 from fields that are authority controlled. Other subfields referring to RLIN can be deleted at will. Assuming its use for indexing authorities, it appears to be just as important as biblio and item numbers, but where and under what name is this data stored in MySQL? It is stored in the MARC in subfield $9. The relationship is not represented in SQL.

Re: [Koha] Serials framework
Paul, Apologies if the answer is available, I just can't find it. Serials framework, Leader 000 position 7, must be changed from m - Monograph/Item to s - Serial. How do I make s the default in that specific framework (obviously without modifying default, books etc frameworks), or do our cataloguers have to remember to change it? Even after setting 942$c to serials, the m keeps appearing in the leader. You can set the default in the framework. Click display more constraints. Just a reminder: item type has absolutely thing to do with the physical characteristics of the item it is describing. If I wanted to give my non-circulating reference materials the item type DUCK, that wouldn't make any less sense than calling them REF (think about it... when you go to a nature preserve, you're not allowed to bring the ducks home, no matter how much you like them).

Re: [Koha] Authority indexing
Cecil, et. al., When you click on the editing gadget I would like it to default to MAIN ENTRY and STARTS WITH. Not main entry $a only. The results should also show the see from references so that you don't use an (unfortunately) old heading that should have been changed. Would it be fair to say what I'm seeing is a growing consensus that Main entry ($a only) isn't used, and a default of Main entry would make sense? Public services staff and opac users don't really use authorities but they would use a browse list of subjects, authors and series, with all the appropriate cross references showing and searchable. Would you say that it would be more useful to default to Main entry or All headings on the OPAC side?

Re: [Koha] languages lost after upgrading from 3.0 to 3.6

Re: [Koha] Second stable release of Koha-Kobli 1.8
Domingo, The Koha-Kobli release team is happy to announce the second stable release of Koha-Kobli 1.8, based on Koha 3.8. Kobli is a customized version of Koha ILS developed by the Working Group of BAGEs (Spanish General State Authority Libraries). Kobli 1.8 is released in two versions: one for normal installation, and the other one as a VMware virtual appliance. Koha-Kobli’s 1.8 download is at http://kobli.bage.es/descargas-kobli/. Further information at http://kobli.bage.es/disponible-kobli-1-8/ This is very exciting news. I look forward to seeing your work submitted upstream to the Koha project.

Re: [Koha] Fwd: Re: File names
Lenora, Here is what we found while solving the difficulty of our search results not showing even though records were there. [snip] So, we decided to uncomment the melm 090$c line. Lo, and behold, our search is now functioning. So, the question is, why is this line commented out on a fresh install? The reason the 090 line is commented out is that Koha doesn't use 090 for biblionumbers anymore. 090 is generally used for local call numbers, which are not suitable alternatives to biblionumbers (which Koha stores by default in 999$c).

Re: [Koha] koha on windows 7 install instructions?
Hello. I'm having a tough time finding information about installing koha on windows. Installing apache, perl, and mysql on windows is no problem. The issues arise when trying to install koha. I'm not surprised. Installing Koha on Windows is very difficult. I'd recommend against running Koha directly on Windows in the strongest possible terms. If, however, you want to brave it, Chris Nighswonger has written a guide to how he got Koha running under Windows: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_3.4 I'm willing to document the process for windows installation and submit it to the docs team for any future windows people. I just need some help or pointers on getting this up and running. Also, the install notes say: ln -s /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/koha which I guess is softlinking the .conf file to a file in the sites-available subdir of apache2. However, my windows intall of apache 2.2 has no subdirectory called sites-available. You'll need to read the documentation on using Apache under Windows to figure out where .conf files with Apache virtual hosts go. a2enmod is for enabling Apache modules (probably has to be at compile time under Windows), and a2ensite is for enabling sites. I can't offer any more help than that, as I stopped using Microsoft products willingly before Windows XP was released.

While checking the Mysql and log files, I've come across with a problem with the sessions table in Koha. a CHECK TABLES on it or a REPAIR just hangs forever. They have backups so I should be able to restore the whole database (or possibly just this table) but before I do, does anyone have any other alternative solutions? What does this table do?

Re: [Koha] Deduplicate authorities
Paul, There is not any authority deduplicator at present included in Koha. I proposed bug 7419 because it would be very useful to have one, but that project has not been funded yet.

Re: [Koha] Koha setup: using single for staff client and OPAC
Jim, Yes, you can certainly run the intranet and OPAC on the same port. Just use virtual hosts in Apache. Regards, Jared 2012/1/9 Jim Maroon storyp...@gmail.com Hello, folks. I was wondering if I could get some advice. There is a controversy at our library about allowing outside access for the staff client. Our network administrator (who will have nothing to do with our Koha system) is concerned that opening a second port for the staff client creates additional risks. We have since worked out a compromise, but then I ran into the below link. In it, the author implies we don't need to use two ports, as he is only suggesting using port 80. I'm assuming that is for both staff and OPAC access from outside the firewall. ** ** http://openlib.org/home/krichel/courses/lis9012/doc/koha_installation.html Here is the relevant quote: Also note we are using port 80 for both servers, I don't see a reason to do otherwise. Apache can run many different virtual servers. Normally, each server has its own domain name. So, does this mean we could run both staff and OPAC on port 80? If so, I think this would go a long way toward resolving this issue and answering his security concerns.

We have been scratching around, and can find nothing wrong for the record

further down that have the same problem) so if somebody could help with the
relationship between bib1 and Local-number i'll have another try at
finding the cause.
The problem is probably that your record is too large for the MARC format.
Use -x with rebuild_zebra. Local-number is the biblionumber, which is
stored in 999$c.
There is another weird glitch that has appeared since reindexing zebra.
Results.tt at line 496 calls for SEARCH_RESULT.size which is from Marc
330$c (physical height of book in cms.) It appears correctly (OPAC and
staff) if there is a value in the biblio record, but if 300$c has been left
blank during cataloguing (either manual or Z39.50) then various two digit
numbers (e.g. 47, 50, 52, 58 etc) are appearing in search results - and
they are NOT identical in the OPAC and the staff searches. If I reboot the
server, the values change ;={
Any ideas, please?
None from me, sorry.
[For any future reference, I found the answer to my previous question Is
there a way in staff-client to find the record matching biblio # 12,836?
Entering without quotes biblionumber: 12836 (no comma delimiter for
thousands) is the way to go.]
Someone may have already mentioned this, but that number is not the
biblionumber of the record with the problem. That number is the PID of the
Zebra process.

Jared

Re: [Koha] MARC Export problem
Elaine, Limit by item type only works for records with items. It does not use the 942$c. I'm not sure there is any way to export only those records. Perhaps your best bet would be to export all records, and then filter out those records that have items? I'd probably convert the export to MARCXML and use a simple XSLT stylesheet for the filtering, but I'm sure MarcEdit has some sort of filtering capability.

Re: [Koha] Well, this is disappointing ...
Lori, et. al., I think the key here is that Liblime is putting in the time to work with the LIS programs. I suspect if MassCat (or anyone else) had extended an offer, they would have accepted. Exactly! That has been my experience, at least. I've worked with two library schools to provide Koha installations for student use. One school actually has an in-house Koha expert, so my role with them was limited to advocacy. For the other school, C P Bibliography Services is providing a hosted Koha installation for their students' use. My hope is that by getting Koha into use in library schools, we'll see more understanding of the system, more testing (and user feedback), and, eventually a repository of lesson plans based on Koha.

Re: [Koha] Is it possible to take an XML feed of individual records and bring it into Koha or MARC format?
David, When I said schema I wasn't referring to the XML schema standard but, more generically, the layout of the data. The SXML from Gartner is what you'll need to convert to MARC. Chances are the conversion will be a bit of a challenge if you aren't familiar with XSLT, since it's unlikely that they designed their format with MARC conversions in mind. However, it would almost certainly be doable.

Joel, First off, I would encourage you to subscribe to koha-devel if you are using Master. I sent out a warning about this yesterday. As for applying the patch, the following commands should do it: sudo apt-get install wget cd ~/kohaclone wget -O bug_6629_followup.patch http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=6424 git am -3iu bug_6629_followup.patch [hit 'y' when asked] Let me take this moment to reinforce Chris's note about running from Master: it can be dangerous! If you aren't comfortable working with git, I would encourage you not to run from Master. Although it is in theory possible for something like this to happen on a stable branch (e.g., 3.6.x), it's much less likely to happen. If, for whatever reason, you *have* to use the Master branch, test the exact version you want to use on a staging server before applying it to a production server. And, while I'm on my teachable moment soapbox, here's a list of recommended reading for learning about git.

For more details, see http://bibwild.wordpress.com/2011/10/18/amazon-product-advertising-api-requires-associatetag-now/ Regards, Jared Camins-Esakov -- Jared Camins-Esakov Bibliographer, C P Bibliography Services, LLC (phone) +1 (917) 727-3445 (e-mail) jcam...@cpbibliography.com (web) http://www.cpbibliography.com/ ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
Re: [Koha] Barcode and spine label printing in Koha
David, So far as I know, that is not possible at present. I know some libraries who are using that type of label use OCLC's Connexion software to print out their labels. I'm sorry I couldn't be the bearer of better nows. Regards, Jared 2011/10/12 Hartman, David W. - GBTS Library david.w.hart...@disney.com Hello! ** ** Is it possible to print both barcodes and spine labels on the same sheet? I see Gaylord has a label set, Gaylord LSL04 for both barcode and spine labels. If so, does someone have a template for this or similar? J* *** ** ** ** ** *David W.

Re: [Koha] memc missing
I think it's optional. I don't have it, and my installation works fine, so far as I can tell. If you're concerned, the module is in CPAN. It looks like libcgi-session-driver-memcached-perl was pulled from Debian in 2009 (maybe?), and a new package has been prepared by none other than Robin Sheat.

Re: [Koha] Koha - copying frameworks ongong
Linda, I'd suggest dumping biblio_framework, marc_subfield_structure, and marc_tag_structure and then just reloading them in the other system.

It would work from 3.4 to 3.4 but not from 3.2 to 3.4. So I still need help on how to get from 3.2. to 3.4. Thanks.

How is the easiest way to do that? Dumping the whole database seems overkill, but I'm not sure what tables are involved besides biblio_framework and marc_subfield_structure. Is there a relatively simple way of doing this? Thanks! -- Linda Culberson lcul...@mdah.state.ms.us Archives and Records Services Division Ms. Dept. of Archives History P. O.
