Re: [Koha] Common error handling in KOHA

-- If you are giving an actual example of an error message you see, then
you should be aware that no such code exists in the Koha code-base.
I just checked master: $ git grep add_event

In a standard installation the apache site is enabled and the configuration 
file has:

ErrorDocument 400 /cgi-bin/koha/errors/400.pl
ErrorDocument 401 /cgi-bin/koha/errors/401.pl
ErrorDocument 403 /cgi-bin/koha/errors/403.pl
ErrorDocument 404 /cgi-bin/koha/errors/404.pl
ErrorDocument 500 /cgi-bin/koha/errors/500.pl

You could modify the apache configuration file to point elsewhere,
but that isn't going to catch the specific "failed--compilation" case only.
Contact the person who customized this file.

If you encounter this type of error in your logs, you should be reporting 
them
on bugzilla. Though, again, if these are not part of the Koha code-base, you
will need to contact the person who wrote them in the first place.

GPML,

[Rejeesh K.Nair]

Hi Barton Chittenden,

Thanks for your reply.

I am aware about the case you mentioned but that is not the thing.
The scenario is different in my case , I need to navigate to a common error
page when the application shows some error like "BEGIN failed--compilation
aborted at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/events/add_event.pl line 172"
You can see a sample error message which usually shows in KOHA for page not
found - 404 error. Same as this , could you please help me out to redirect
to a common  page whenever the above mentioned error occurs.

Regards,
Rejeesh K.Nair

Re: [Koha] Item types in Koha

[Joy Nelson]

Gaetan,
I've spent some time pondering this.  I have not encountered the confusion
that you seem to have run into.  It may be a difference in how 'things' are
cataloged in the US versus Europe.  In the US, catalogs are by and large
not FRBR-ized.  We rarely run into a situation where libraries will place
different types of items onto a single MARC record.  Typically there is a
MARC record that is specific to E-books, another MARC record for the second
edition print version, another MARC record for the large print version.  It
seems US catalogers prefer to have things separate in the catalog.  So for
the vast majority of our libraries that system preference is never
considered.  It is set to item-level_itypes is set to the item level, not
the Bibliographic level.

I do appreciate your discussion on the searching aspect of the catalog.
The biggest use I see in the 942 'itemtype' is for eresources.  Often those
bibliographic records have no item records in the catalog.  So the 942$c is
needed to be able to search for those titles.  And yes...this is where we
too run into confusion explaining 'itemtype' at the bib-level versus
'itemtype' at the item level.  I can see value in renaming the 942$c the
Record Type.   Would we then introduce confusion by explaining that the
'item type' search searches both Record Type and Itemtype?  Further, for US
catalogers, 'record type' is something that is coded in the leader and the
008 tag of the MARC record.  So I would anticipate we would see significant
confusion from catalogers with the use of 'record type'.

One library I am working with now is interested in using the itemtype
category to help with patron searching.  So a DVD, VHS, BLU-RAY items could
all be assigned to the VIDEO itemtypecat.  When the patron searches VIDEO,
(and assuming they don't care about the format), they would see a result
list containing all the itemtypes.   This is new territory for me, so I'm
excited to explore this with them.  (Thank goodness they have a test server
we can play on before implementing on production).  For me, this seems to
be another way to use a 'higher level type' to group items into 'like'
types, while still maintaining the circulation item level rules.  Perhaps
another way out is to get rid of the 942$c altogether?  That would make me
happy.


Interesting discussion.

Hi Chris


You can still check it in, even if it isn't out, Koha just needs to
know you have it in your hand, scanning it check in will mark it now
waiting, since Koha knows you have it now.


I did that and it works, great! Many thanks!

Re: [Koha] Authority

[Selma Aslan]

Hi All,

TOBB University of Economics and Technology, Ankara, Turkey, Library has 
recently moved to Koha from a local software, and my response might be 
irrelevant, but I would like to share our experience. When we merge two 
authorities in the Authorities Module, the result does not show up immediately. 
I gather Zebra takes its time to process for a couple of minutes. I wonder if 
the result was expected to be seen immediately. In our case I tried to 
reprocess an already processed authority and an got error prompt simply because 
I hadn't realized system's need for time at that stage.

 check to be sure that you have the indexer running
 to index your authority records.
 
 And to link the authority
 record to the bibliographic record you will need
 to run the cronjob called
 link_bibs_to_authorities.pl
 But before you
 enable that cronjob check the Authority system
 preferences
 to be sure they will behave in
 the way you want them to.

yes it is possible, we use it in our library, you have to set "On shelf
holds allowed" parameter in circulation rules.

Thanks for your answers! I have set up a circulation rule accordingly 
and now I'm actually able to place a hold on an available book and the 
hold can be seen in the user account.


After that I do also see the book in the list "Holds to pull placed 
between 31/01/2017 and 02/02/2017" with the following explanation: "The 
following holds have not been filled. Please retrieve them and check 
them in." But in fact the book was not checked out so I cannot check it 
in, of course.


I don't see how to "pull" the book, so it would move to the list "Holds 
awaiting pickup"...


What am I missing?

I checked the syspreferences and they seem to indicate that holds are setup
OK

When you say 'it is not update' can you explain a bit more what you are

Are you expecting the authority to link to the bibliographic record?

We, the KohaCon2017 Organizing Committee would like to ask Hackfest
organizers on the bandwidth used for previous hackfests (can also be
hackfests outside of KohaCon hackfest). The IT personnel of the venue
sponsor for KohaCon2017 is asking the Organizing Committee this so that they
can provision for the hackfest and ask the Service Provider just in case
more bandwidth is needed. You can email the organizers at the following
email addresses: kohaco...@gmail.com and aslplibrari...@gmail.com or reply

Re: [Koha] Is it possible to reserve available books?

[vikram zadgaonkar]

Hi Michael,
It's possible. You just need to update circulation policy and hold policy.

On 02-Feb-2017 3:41 PM, "Michael Kuhn"  wrote:

Hi

In Koha it is possible to place holds on books that are CHECKED OUT.

Is it also possible to place a reservation on a book that is NOT checked
out?

The idea is that the user is at home, finding an interesting book in the
OPAC - the book is available but he cannot go immediately to the library to
pick it up. Thus he wants to place a reservation on the book so noone else
can check it out - the library will then take that book out of the shelf
waiting for the user to arrive at the library.

This means:

* In the OPAC there has to be a possibility for the user to place the
reservation
* The library needs to be informed so the book can be taken out of the
shelf, waiting for the user

Is this possible in Koha?

Best wishes: Michael

Re: [Koha] Is it possible to reserve available books?

[Josef Moravec]

Hello Michael,

yes it is possible, we use it in our library, you have to set "On shelf
holds allowed" parameter in circulation rules.

then librarians could be informed by e-mail (but this send all added
reserves not only the available ones) or just few times a day check the
pending reserves page (it's what we do)

regards

Josef

[Koha] Is it possible to reserve available books?

[Michael Kuhn]

Hi

In Koha it is possible to place holds on books that are CHECKED OUT.

Is it also possible to place a reservation on a book that is NOT checked 
out?


The idea is that the user is at home, finding an interesting book in the 
OPAC - the book is available but he cannot go immediately to the library 
to pick it up. Thus he wants to place a reservation on the book so noone 
else can check it out - the library will then take that book out of the 
shelf waiting for the user to arrive at the library.


This means:

* In the OPAC there has to be a possibility for the user to place the 
reservation
* The library needs to be informed so the book can be taken out of the 
shelf, waiting for the user


Is this possible in Koha?

Best wishes: Michael
