[Koha] Problem with Zebra Index - Koha v3.08.001
Hi All, I have a strange problem with the Zebra indexing on my Koha 3.08.001 installation. When I create Bib records, Koha creates the record fine within the system, and after saving the record, it is searchable within ten minutes of saving it. BUT The problem is If I search the catalogue via the Staff Client the search will give me results and I can view the Bib/Item Records. If I search the OPAC all searches return no results and you cannot view a Bib record. But, if you click on the "Most Popular" link in the navigation bar of the OPAC, it will list Titles and if you click on them it will take you to their Bib record. It's a weird problem which has left me surprised and I haven't used Zebra enough to know how to solve this problem.

[Koha] Cataloguing: Fields not working
Hi All, I have added some extra fields into a couple of our cataloguing MARC templates which are for local use, but have come across a tiny problem with them. These fields are set up correctly. But, if you are cataloguing in Koha using the Internet Explorer, Firefox or Google Chrome web browsers it won't allow you to enter anything in these fields. Then, if you are using the Apple Safari web browser it will allow you to enter data into these fields. Does anyone know why this may be happening and possible a fix to it?

[Koha] Catalogue Records & Holdings Records Disappearing
Hi All, I have just come across a strange problem in our catalogue. I went to add some new holding records to a serial which we are subscribed too, and unfortunately the bibliographic record, the serial subscription record, and the holdings records have all disappeared! I can't even retrieve the records via barcode or bib number. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Re: [Koha] Z39.50 Search
Hi Victor, Normally, in the world of Cataloguing, the letter ³a² is what we call an ³initial article². Initial Articles are usually ignored when you are searching databases, e.g. Library Catalogues. In my experience, I have found though that Koha will search initial article¹s instead of ignoring them, but most z39.50 Server¹s stick to the rules of Initial Articles are ignored. Some of the many known Initial Articles for example are: * a * and * of * the * to For example, when you are cataloguing using MARC format, you would indicate that the title starts with an Initial Article utilising your MARC Indicators, that way your ILS will ignore the initial article when creating a list of titles in filing order. Example title: The brief history of Australia : a study guide for students / by Joe Bloggs ; edited by John Who. 245 14 $aThe brief history of Australia :$ba study guide for students /$cby Joe Bloggs ; edited by John Who. MARC Tag Details: 245 = Title Statement Indicator 1 = 1 (Added Entry) Indicator 2 = 4 (Character count of initial article, in the example title ³The² = 3 characters + space = 4 characters) Subfield a: Title Subfield b: Subtitle Subfield c: Statement of Responsibility Therefore, with the example, when it is listed in a Shelf List the ILS sees it as: ³brief history of Australia : a study guide for students² instead of ³The brief history of Australia : a study guide for students², but still prints the word ³the² in the title on the Shelf List. I hope that answers your question in some form.

I would like this to display on the OPAC Detail¹s page as: Printer. Deskjet D2560 [equipment] / Hewlett-Packard. 2. Publication Details At present, the Item¹s Publication details show on the OPAC Detail¹s page as: Published by : Collins Design, (New York, N.Y. :) I would like this to display on the OPAC Details page as: - Published by : New York, N.Y. : Collins Design, 2008. 3. Physical Details At present, the Koha OPAC will only display the data that is entered in tags 300 $a, $b, $c on the OPAC Detail¹s page, but I would like to extend this to display the fields 300 $a, $b, $c, $e. At present details would be listed as per normal, e.g. 64 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 28 cm., but if there is any data in 300$e (Accompanying material) it won¹t display in the OPAC display. I would the 300$e (Accompanying field) to display in the OPAC Detail¹s display if there is data in the field, e.g.: 64 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 28 cm. + 2 posters.

Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2011 23:57:08 +1000 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.

Joel, Sorry to hear you're having trouble. I have a few questions, if you don't mind. What operating system are you running Koha on? Which minor release of 3.4 (the last digit is important)? Is this a new install or an upgraded install? If it is an upgraded install, was the previous install running with the zebra indexer or with the nozebra preference set? If it's Zebra, have you done a full reindex? (/home/koha/kohaclone/misc/migration-tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -v) Do you get results when you search? Are you using a translation? Have you changed or edited your bibliographic frameworks? The answers to these questions will help us figure out where to begin suggesting fixes for you. Thanks!

Hi Jared, Thankyou so much, that worked brilliantly! :) Cheers, Joel From: Jared Camins-Esakov Date: Sun, 27 Nov 2011 10:35:01 -0500 To: Joel Harbottle Cc: "Fischer, Katrin" , Koha List Subject: Re: [Koha] Help Please! Problem during upgrade to 3.06.00.001 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. I'd encourage you (and anyone else who is uncertain) to read at least three of the items on it if you intend to remain on Master: > * The git tutorial - > http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gittutorial.html - a good > starting place > * > * Git For Designers - http://hoth.entp.com/output/git_for_designers.html - an > introduction to the concepts behind git > * > * Git in a Nutshell - http://jonas.iki.fi/git_guides/HTML/git_guide/ - a > clearly written introduction to the use of git > * > * Git man pages - http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/ - the > official git documentation, intended for technically-oriented users > * > * Git Reference - http://gitref.org/ - crash course in using git > * > * Pro Git - http://progit.org/book/ - an entire book on using git better > * > * Git From the Bottom Up - > http://ftp.newartisans.com/pub/git.from.bottom.up.pdf - a clearly-written > article on the theory behind git > * > * Koha¹s git documentation - > http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Version_Control_Using_Git - instructions > on using git in the context of Koha development > * > * GitHub documentation - http://help.github.com/ - since some of the ANS¹s > modifications are stored in a GitHub repository, it is important to know how > to use GitHub Regards, Jared Camins-Esakov 2011/11/27 Joel Harbottle > Hi Katrin, > > How do I go about installing this patch onto my system, I can be a bit > clueless on installing these sorts of things on our Linux installation which > runs Koha. > > If you could get back to me, or anyone please, with how to fix this problem, > as soon as possible, that would be of great help. > > Cheers, > Joel > > > > From: "Fischer, Katrin" <http://katrin.fisc...@bsz-bw.de> > > Date: Sun, 27 Nov 2011 15:22:05 +0100 > To: Joel Harbottle <http://joel.harbot...@hotmail.com.au> >, Koha List <http://koha@lists.katipo.co.nz> > > Subject: AW: [Koha] Help Please!

Re: [Koha] Barcodes with leading zeros and spaces
Hi Lori, Hmmm... That can become a tricky one. I know on most barcode readers you can set them up so if there is a space in the barcode as your suggesting, that it will drop the space when it scans the barcode, so it will read it as P123, etc. for Koha. I use an Opticon OPR-2001, Cino FuzzyScan F460/F680, and DataLogic scanners and they all have this option that can be set. I¹m not sure without looking, but you might also be able to tweak the settings in Koha to configure it to understand these types of barcodes... But I would suggest changing the scanner settings is the best way to get around this problem. Best Wishes, Joel From: Lori Bowen Ayre Date: Thu, 24 May 2012 14:11:17 -0700 To: Joel Harbottle Cc: Koha List Subject: Re: [Koha] Barcodes with leading zeros and spaces Joel, I think the problem for this library is that they have a prefix (e.g. p or sometimes P) and then a space and THEN leading zeros. So, they want "p 000123" to be interpreted as "P123" That seems like too much to ask!
