Dear Friends,
Batch item modification (Tools  > Batch item modification)  does not work
for barcodes with space, e.g. BVB 1021.
My Koha version 21.05.5 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

I remember that batch modification works well with this kind of barcodes in

[Koha] Error 500 search not working

2021-11-26 Thread Vimal Kumar V.
Dear Friends,
Koha version 21.05.5.
Xubuntu 20.04 LTS

I got the following error when searching for the barcode in Advanced search.
The same problem when searching barcoded in the search bar.

An error has occurred!
Error 500
This message may have been caused by any of the following reasons:
You made use of an external link to an item that is no longer available
You followed an outdated link e.g. from a search engine or a bookmark
You tried to access a page that needs authentication
An internal link in the client is broken and the page does not exist

This is the error log. I could not interpret the log entries. Please help
me to solve the error.

I am trying to generate a book list with keywords from 650$a using the
following SQL query,

SELECT ExtractValue( metadata,

LEFT JOIN biblio ON (biblioitems.biblionumber=biblio.biblionumber)
ORDER BY LPAD(items.barcode,40,' ') ASC

After running the report, I got the following error message,

The database returned the following error:

Please check the log for further details.

Please review the SQL query and help me to solve the problem.

[Koha] Koha implementation at libraries affiliated to Kerala State Library Council

2015-03-18 Thread Vimal Kumar V.
Koha implementation at libraries affiliated to Kerala State Library Council

The Kerala State Library Council (KSLC)
https://www.facebook.com/keralastatelibrarycouncil is an autonomous body
under the Higher Education Department of Govt. of Kerala. It is the
statutory apex body of public libraries in the state. KSLC is the successor
of ‘Kerala Grandhasala Sanghom’ formed by the amalgamation of libraries
which were functioning in the erstwhile Travancore, Cochin and Malabar
regions in Kerala. KSLC is constituted through a democratic process giving
representation to all public libraries in the state and functions as the
core of the cultural life of Kerala. The total number of libraries
affiliated to the KSLC so far is around 7500.
Now, the KSLC is embarking on a programme of computerizing the affiliated
public libraries. An expert committee was constituted by KSLC for this
purpose. This automation programme is planned to be rolled out in two
phases. In the first phase the Koha Open Source Software will be customized
in Malayalam and deployed in selected affiliated libraries on the basis of
e-readiness. In the second phase there will be a statewide rollout,
covering all the affiliated libraries.
The vendor for software customization, implementation and training was
selected though a two-part national bid process. M/s. Orisys India
Consultancy Services (http://orisys.in/
http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Forisys.in%2Fh=9AQEA1GI4enc=AZN-KUAzEO_KEoA9QX_FrBv7YTo9lDWEyrGueS60LfuNdm06DpbohBFcZ1jwbdB8bu1hJvCp54WwvxwmoNmRns6JpU8Zwvt_qajJptsOprynKG6YFldIidB4Shwz50cor8V-HIGxPfNLQe18hAm0ybz_s=1)
based in Technopark, Thiruvananthapuram came out as the successful bidder.
Koha will be customized, installed and maintained in the State Data Centre,
and libraries will be able access it through Internet and carry out their
day to day activities. This will also ensure that the librarians are free
from the burden of server / software maintenance, updation, backup and so
on. In the event of Intenet failure, the offline transaction tool will be
used to capture the transaction data and will be subsequently transferred
to the database once the connection gets restored. Several new features are
being provided including interface in Malayalam, option to collect annual
(periodical) membership fee subscription etc. After implementation, they
will be provided to the Koha Community for the benefit of all Koha users.
The training programme for the librarians of the selected libraries was
held during 28-Feb to 01-Mar at Thiruvananthapuram. The participants were
given intensive hand-on training in using Koha. Shri. Thomson A. J.,
Librarian, Devagiri College, Kozhikode, and Shri Prasanth MP, Librarian,
Chinmaya Institute of Technology, Kannur were the Resource Persons.
The inauguration of the automation programme will be held on 20th March
2015. Renowned poet and activist Smt. Sugathakumari will officially launch
the programme at a function to be held at Conference Hall, Govt. Guest
House, Thycaud, Thiruvananthapuram at 10.00a.m.
The customized web-page of KSLC with catalogue is accessible here
http://kslc.in/

To visit the web-page of various libraries please go to the menu
‘Libraries’ and filter using District and then by Taluk.
Feedback and comments are always welcome to improve the service. Kindly

[Koha] How to restrict patron permanently?

2014-06-13 Thread Vimal Kumar V.
Dear Friends,
We are using Koha 3.14.7.
How can we restrict patrons permanently?
Tow restriction options are Gone no address and Lost card.
These two options have their own purposes.
Imagine a case, one patron would like to terminate his account before the
expiry of his membership period.
How can we suspend that account?
Can we create a new flag?

[Koha] How to run Koha fines script manually

2014-01-21 Thread Vimal Kumar V.
Dear Friends,

Most of the libraries have installed Koha in ordinary computer and they
shut down it after working hours.

Fine will not calculate in this context. Fine calculation in Koha occur in
12 AM midnight.

You can manage fine calculation by running fine calculation script.

Here is the method,


Open *Applications  Accessories  Terminal*


Apply following commands,


*sudo su*

*cd /etc/cron.daily/*

*./koha-common*

Run this script at opening hour of the library.

2013-05-22 Thread Vimal Kumar V.
Dear Friends,

Developers / Linux techies view point manual installation is easy and
convenient.

In the case of  a library professional, they have no Linux experience.
They need to familiar with Linux desktop. Live DVD can provide
familiarization.
It give more confidence in them. Later they can learn ABCD's of Linux and
Koha maintenance.
Small libraries can run Koha with the help of Koha Live DVD. When
collection grows more,
they can opt manual installation.
Libraries with big collection can go for servers and manual installation.

Dear Friends,
We can leave unhealthy  arguments on Live DVD.
We can submit the Official Live DVD to users, its their freedom to use for
what purpose.
They have freedom to accept or reject it.
I strongly believe that, Live DVD can provide an opportunity to try Koha
for newbies.
Please forgive me if my words hurt anyone.

I finished Koha 3.12 Live DVD making.
I have still doubt where I host this to make available to Koha users.
Nobody from developing team given an answer.

Dear Lars,

I appreciate your efforts to promote Koha in Denmark.
Now Koha 3.12 version Live DVD is in progress.

Please listen about are login settings with this Live DVD,

I have done post installation steps of Koha (e.g. sample news etc.)

I have not created Library Branch. In my experience most of the librarians
like to assign their own code for library branch.
So, after installation of Live DVD, librarian has to login using master
login details and need to create a normal user and assign super librarian
privileges for daily login.

I assigned master user name is koha_library, password is koha123.

And all details including passwords mentioned in Readme file, which put in
desktop.

This arrangement is friendly for newbies?

Otherwise, we have to create a branch with code MAIN and assign a super
librarian with password.

Everything works fine with latest version of Koha.

But one problem still haunting me, change of default time fixed to run

2012-11-27 Thread Vimal Kumar V.
Hi Friends,
I upgraded to Koha 3.10 from 3.8.6.
My installation based on Ubuntu packages.
It seems that Version 3.10.00 need little bit improvements to make it ready
to use.
I plan to work with 3.8.x till the release of 3.10.1
Can I upgrade from 3.8.6 to 3.8.7 direct?
When I upgraded Koha version it jumped from 3.8.6 to 3.10.00.

Re: [Koha] How to change fine calculation time in Koha installation on Ubuntu packages

2012-11-20 Thread Vimal Kumar V.
Dear Mark and other friends,

My problem with fine calculation is as follows:
default fine calculation time is 1 AM.
Fine calculation does not work in the case of Koha installed on pc not
working for 24x7 hours.
Libraries having Koha service available between 9AM to 5 PM cant count fine.
Reason is that cronjob work only on 1 PM.
Installation from tarball cronjob entries can be loaded in crontab -e with
timings.

# FINES
510 * * *  $KOHA_CRON_PATH/fines.pl

Users can easily change the default time (1pm) to other convenient time
(e.g. 9 AM) for fine calculation.

My doubt is that how can I change the default time of fine calculation to
another convenient timing?
I would like to change time 1 PM to 10 AM.

I installed Koha from Ubuntu packages.
Where I can find the default fine calculation time?

This information is very important for small libraries installed Koha on PC.

Re: [Koha] Avoid LiveCDs/LiveDVDs

2012-10-05 Thread Vimal Kumar V.
Dear Friends,

I am trying to build a Koha Live cd/dvd on Ubuntu 12.04.
But the process is not completed yet.
I tried Remastersys with Ubuntu 12.04 and found that it does not work.
Now I am trying to work with UCK to build a live CD.

I am ready to join the Koha team as Live CD/DVD release manager.
Before that I have to find an ideal Ubuntu customization tool to build Koha
Live DVD.

My plan is that build  a ready to use Koha Live CD.
Little bit customisations can make the live cd easy for Koha newbies.
The lice can be use in live mode with installer.

Re: [Koha] Avoid LiveCDs/LiveDVDs

2012-10-03 Thread Vimal Kumar V.
Dear Friends,

Live CD/DVDs are essential part of any Free software project.
We can find that Live CD/DVDs are available in many popular Free software
projects like Dspace and Eprints.
Live CD/DVDs are easy to try and install for non techies. Manual
installation of Koha is difficult process for most of library professionals.
In the present situation, Koha project has not released official Live
CD/DVD. It is high time to think about the development of an official live
cd/dvd from Koha team.
In my experience, popularity of Koha increased in India after the
availability of live cd/dvd. Organising Koha workshops are now easy with
Koha Live cd/dvd. Installation of Koha by participants in workshops ate
good part of the time. Now participants can try Koha at home or workplace
after the workshop without much effort.

I had created a live cd and dvd based on Ubuntu 10.04 with the help of
Remastersys.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/kohalivecd-lite
https://sourceforge.net/projects/kohalivedvd/

But I could not develop a live cd based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS due to its
incompatibility with Remastersys.
Lot of other live cd/dvds are available and useful for community; library
professsionals, LIS teachers, students and research scholars.
I request Koha community and developers should think about the release of
official Koha Live CD/DVD.
Then only we can achieve uniformity in Koha Live CD/DVD development and
release.

Re: [Koha] Remastersys incompatibility?

2012-10-03 Thread Vimal Kumar V.
Dear Friends,
Many libraries with small collection run on Koha Live CDs.
Small libraries (in terms of collection, manpower and money) cant afford
online hosting and servers for production purpose.
They made use Koha Live CD for the installation on their ordinary PC.

I agree that Koha Live CD is not suitable for libraries with big collection
and lot of transactions.
I know many college libraries in Kerala with above 5 records
successfully running on Koha Live CD.
I think they will move to a server when collection become big.
They take regular backup as a security measure.
