[Koha] MARC Modification Templates & indicators

[Eric Phetteplace]

Hi collective wisdom,

We're trying to fix up an issue with our records by copying information
from the 810 MARC field (series added entry) to 490 (series statement)
using MARC Modification Templates. Our template currently is just one
action that looks like this:

Copy All field(s) 810 __ to field 490 __

with no "if" condition or regex specified. The blank underlines represent
the fact that we're copying all the subfields from one tag to the other
without modification. But the problem is our cataloger wants to follow
standards and make the 490 indicators "1_", that is: first indicator 1 for
"series traced", second blank. Our 800 tags have first indicator set to "2"
and there doesn't appear to be any way to change them via the templates.

Am I missing something or do the MARC modification templates simply not
interact with indicators? I know I can export the records and edit them
with an external tool like MARCedit or a pymarc script but I wanted to try
accomplishing this purely in Koha.

Best,

[Koha] Itemtype images not displaying

[Elaine Bradtke]

I'm hoping this is a simple thing.
Now that we've got non print material in our catalogue the reference staff
want icons for the different physical formats.

I am experimenting in the test site with this.  I've set the ItemtypeImages
to show in the OPAC, I've also gone through and selected the icons for the
item types.  They're not showing up.  I know our system has a bit of a
latency when updating things, so it may eventually resolve itself.  But I
thought I'd ask if we need to do anything else.

​I know, we should have probably done this years ago when we set the thing
up, but staff changes, and so do opinions on what our users expect.​

[Koha] FW: News feature in Koha

Thanks for the quick response. I will start brushing up on jquery!

David,

Have a look at the Koha Plugins available on the net.  I cannot remember which 
one, but I did find a plug in some months back that does allow you to move the 
news feed to a new location.  As Eric said, it uses jQuery.

I did not get around to installing it myself, but a google seach for koha 
plugins will find it for you.

There is no way to set define the news location in the OPAC at the moment.
Where would you like it to be?
If I had to do it, i would use jquery to move the news div to the desired 
location.

Update:

After adding

my $borrower;

to line 38 of opac-memberentry.pl I was able to successfully access the 
personal details page without error.


The code area in opac-memberentry.pl to which I am referring looked like this:

36 my $cgi = new CGI;
37 my $dbh = C4::Context->dbh;

and now looks like this:

36 my $cgi = new CGI;
37 my $dbh = C4::Context->dbh;
38 my $borrower;

Very strange, but could this perhaps be a bug? Also, I have absolutely no idea 
whether this  declared variable will impact the rest of the code, or interfere 
with other areas of Koha.

Please advise.

Welcome to Koha! One of the reasons I was able to convince my employers to 
switch to Koha was that I presented them with a demo that consisted of a 
fully-functional system. Sounds like you're on your way. As for tweaking it, I 
agree with Brooke--set up a virtual system (or several--one barebones, one 
that's configured for your library, one with data, etc.) and keep playing 
around until it's perfect.

And feel free to ask questions. Someone here usually knows the answer.

Subject: [Koha] Hello from Vermont

Hi all,

I'm a retired software geek, now living in a small town in Vermont
after many years in Silicon Valley.  I've been using Linux on my own
computers for 20 years, and have hacked on everything from microkernels
in assembly language to web apps in Ruby on Rails.

I also spent a year in NZ as a child and still consider it as my first
home, and miss it very much, though I've not been back since.  It's
cool to see such great open source software originating from my old
homeland.

Our town library currently uses proprietary software from Mandarin,
but I've been investigating what it would take to convert to Koha.
Many libraries here in Vermont are in a consortium that is using Koha
hosted by a commercial vendor.  But the consortium is closed to
new members.

So to see what it would take for us to build our own Koha installation
from scratch, I installed 16.05 (using git) in an Ubuntu 14.04 virtual
machine and have started to play around with it.  I've exported our
catalog (about 22K items) from Mandarin into a MARC dump.  Now I'm
figuring out what I need to do to import these records and correctly
set things like the item call number and item type.  I may ask some
questions later if I get stuck.

Re: [Koha] Hello from Vermont

Hi Mark,
If you don't have MarcEdit, I would suggest getting a copy.  It is a free
download.  It has a built in marc-8 to utf-8 converter.  It also has a lot
of other tools for manipulating your records.  I would suggest creating the
item tags (and moving data around) prior to importing the marc into Koha.
You'll be able to view your data and the item information prior to
importing. That is how I prefer to work with the data.

Thanks,
Joy
