Re: [Koha] Problems when setting permissions to patrons

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Igor,

ok, that explains the empty screens - the permissions are defined in the
database and haven't been installed in your system.

One reason how this could happen is that something got unchecked in the
mandatory section during running the web installer. Another might be an
error in the SQL files, but the French web installer should be ok - I think.

What you can do is look for the SQL files in installer/data/mysql/...
and run them manually. But it might also make sense to reset and run the
web installer again to see if it works a second time around and to make
sure nothing else is missing.

Hope this helps,

Katrin

You are correct in that this is how shelf holds work in Koha currently. If
on shelf holds are not allowed, only one item need be checked out to allow
a hold to be placed. You want the inverse where one available item disallow
holds on the record

You could contact the original author to see if he would update the patch,
or you could hire a Koha developer to do so.

Koha is always changing. The best way to make Koha work for you is to
advocate for the features you need! If we as a community don't hear that
something doesn't work for your situation, it will never change! I think
this email is a good start!

Have you ensured that your circulation rules are set to not allow holds for
items for patrons from other branches? You write that any patron can place
a hold at any library. This seems in conflict with this statement. Can you
expand on the behavior you are trying to accomplish?

That is something you can accomplish with some custom Javascript. I can gin
up the javascript and post it here if you'd like.

Can you describe how this is affecting items at other branches?

It sounds like you need the functionality of this bug perhaps:

Re: [Koha] KOHA with PostgreSQL

[Mengu Yazicioglu]

I'd like to share that we serve more than 13.200.000 records (adding 
more than 20.000 items
per day) to 1.126 public libraries consoritum with 1.000.000 users 
(adding more than 2.000 new users everyday),


I think it is biggest Koha installation around the world,
We use Mariadb on clustered servers and we are very comfortable with the 
performance.

Of course, our technical staff trace the servers and databased everyday.

Unfortunately, Koha will not currently work with PostgreSQL. It's pretty
heavily tied to either MySQL or MariaDB.  We are in the midst of an effort
to convert old code to use a database abstraction layer that would allow
PostgreSQL, but that's not likely to be finished in the near future.

However, there are a number of libraries using Koha at that scale. You will
need a fairly powerful server (or two, with the database on a separate
server), but it's workable.

Hi List,
just wondering, if any experience using KOHA with PostgreSQL database,
and my second inquiry is - any libraries using Koha for the bibliographic
database with ca. 4 million records. Is it stable?
thanks
