Re: [Koha] A more complete report on lost documents

Re: [Koha] A more complete report on lost documents
Hi Eric,
Good news! Your query had only a small problem: a comma on line 5:
ExtractValue(bi.marcxml, '//datafield[@tag="210"]/subfield[@code="d"]')
as Date*,*
As soon as I removed the comma, it worked just fine! :)
So I'll leave here the right query: it may be useful for someone else:
SELECT i.itemnumber, b.title, b.author, i.itemcallnumber,
i.barcode, v.lib,
ExtractValue(bi.marcxml,
'//datafield[@tag="205"]/subfield[@code="a"]') as Edition,
ExtractValue(bi.marcxml,
'//datafield[@tag="210"]/subfield[@code="c"]') as Publisher,
ExtractValue(bi.marcxml,
'//datafield[@tag="210"]/subfield[@code="d"]') as Date
FROM items i
LEFT JOIN biblio b ON (i.biblionumber=b.biblionumber)
LEFT JOIN authorised_values v ON (i.itemlost=v.authorised_value)
LEFT JOIN biblioitems bi ON (i.biblioitemnumber=bi.biblioitemnumber)
WHERE i.itemlost != 0 AND v.category='LOST'
Thanks a lot for your help and your explanation. Without it I wouldn't be
able to find the answer.
All the best,
Vanda

Re: [Koha] A more complete report on lost documents
Hi Eric,
Thanks for your help.
I tried your query but it didn't work. The Koha showed the following:
*The following error was encountered:* The database returned the following
error:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to
your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'FROM items i
LEFT JOIN biblio b ON (i.biblionumber=b.biblionumber) LEFT JOIN b' at line 6
Please check the log for further details.
Any ideas?

[Koha] Losing access to Koha
Hi everybody!
We are using koha version 16.11.04.
Since last week we have lost access to koha at least once a day. It shows
the following message:
*Software error:*
DBIx: :Class: : Storage: :DBI: : catch {...} () : DBI Connection failed:
Can´t connect to local MySQL server through socket

Until last wednesday this has never happened before. And we haven't done
anything diferent to cause this problem.
Do you have any idea what might be wrong? Has it ever happened to anyone of
you?
Any help would be very appreciated.

[Koha] Problems with circulation history
Hi everybody! We are using koha version 16.11.04. I´ve recently detected a problem with circulation history. The program cheks out and cheks in all items quite well, but it frequently does not keep track of all the loans. After checking in a book when I run the report to see what was checked in the book does not appear in the results and when I check the patron circulation history it shows no loans (It shows: "This patron has no circulation history"). When we look in to the checkout history of the item it says the book has never been checked out before. It is as if the item had never been checked out. To make it even more strange let me tell you that this happens in a regular basis, but not everytime. I was not able to understand why this only happens every now and then. What do you think might be the problem? How can we solve it? Has it ever happened to anyone of you? Any help would be very welcomed.

Hi everybody, I'm having some problems with the renewals. When I make a loan the date is automatically calculate by the system (30 days for books, for instance), but when I make a renewal I have to put the new date due myself, because the system does not do it automatically: it actually assumes the date of the day the renweal is made and not the new date due (that is 30 more days) We are using 16.11.04 Koha version.

Re: [Koha] Help - Patrons Deletions- best practice
Hi Satish, I have worked in a College library and we have never erased the patrons from our databese: we just blocked the students access when they finished their course. As simple as that. I think that's the best policy. Imagnie that later on they decide to attend another course: you'll just have to enable them/give them access to circulation, you do not have to register them all over again. Besides, at any moment you may want to extract some statistics from your database, and those patrons whether they have finissed their course or not are part of your library history.

Re: [Koha] is koha right for our project run by volunteers?
Hello Rebecca, I work in a small library in a govermental institution, and we have adopted just now Koha. I must say that once it is implemented it is very easy to work with. The most difficult part is that you really need to have someone with very good knowledge of Linux language, otherwise you won't be able to make it work. My computer collegues installed the program, but it wasn't very easy for them to do so. We had some problems with the advanced search and authorities. They had to reinstall the program to make it function, and even now I am not able to send emails to users through koha. They haven't figured that out yet, and they have computer experience. You must also keep in mind that in Koha everything must be set by you, from MARC bibliographic framework to Patron categories, Item types, and so on. It is a huge project, believe me, I know, I have done all that. That being said, I think it is a good choice because it is user friendly.

[Koha] Where can we find e-mail notices ready to be sent
Hi everybody, I have properly set the circulation rules, the item circulation alerts, defined e-mail notices and set notice/status triggers for overdue items. But now I have a doubt: where can I find the list of all notices (specially overdue notices, but also renewals, holds ready to be picked up, etc) that are ready to be sent to our users? I know some users have overdues, but I don't know where to look for the notices. Can anyone help me, please? Many thanks, Vanda ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz https://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha

[Koha] SQL report for holds waiting for pickup longer than the ReservesMaxPickupDelay number of days
Hi everybody, I would like to run a report that would show me all the users, their e-mail adresses, titles and barcodes of items whose holds have been waiting for pickup longer than the ReservesMaxPickupDelay number of days (in our case 7 days). Can anyone please help me with the SQL Report? It would be great if the report showed the number of days or the hold expiration date.

Re: [Koha] Search not working
Hello Ian, We are still unable to solve our problem. We have done everything we were told to do, including what you mention in your message. Unfortunately nothing worked. And yes, we chose UNIMARC when the package installation was performed. My computer collegues say that we also have some references to MARC21 in the the koha-conf.xml file and apparently it is supposed to be that way. Still loking for an answer...

[Koha] No results with the advanced search
Hi everybody, I'm working in a small library and we have installed koha version 16.11.03, but we are having some problems with the search. We only recover information when we use the itemsearch. Whenever we use the advanced search we get no results at all, regardless the term we use (title, author, subject, keyword, etc). The message we get is this: No results found No results match your search for 'ti,wrdl: manual' in Biblioteca catalog. What are we doing wrong? Can anyone please help us?
