A word of caution about "anonymous searches" and whether (or not) you 
use a robots.txt file on your server (we limit to just a few search 
engines, and have found ourselves obliged to "deny" at firewall level 
Baidu and a couple of other abusive spiders.)


We still get +/- 300,000 "searches" per day and have written, totally 
separately from Koha, an analytical tool at apache log level. It is 
somewhat useful, but only after massaging the results to eliminate 
google, other "permitted", and "rogue" (do not respect robots.txt but 
are not yet in 'deny') search engines.


I would however strongly encourage your IT team to do something similar. 
The number of abusive WordPress (wp) and .php crack attempts is an 
eye-opener. Won't help your librarians, but is educational for today's 
web. We do *not* record these results in the Koha db, which might well 
get swamped, or worse, DDoS'd.


YMMV.

My EnableOpacSearchHistory
syspref is set to "Keep" and my AnonymousPatron syspref is set to 21. I 
see in the C4::Search::History that if a user is not logged in, the 
search history is saved in a cookie. But is it ever saved in the database?


I'd like to know what words patrons use when they are searching, 
regardless of if they are logged in or not.


Thanks!

Re: [Koha] Anonymous Search History

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Caroline,

to my knowledge it's only added from the cookie to the table once the 
user logs in. There are tools like Matomo (Piwik) to track activity on a 
website that might give you broader picture.


Hope that helps,

Katrin

[Koha] Permissions groups patch

[Narcis Garcia]

Hello, I'm going to create "kohapg" for the purpose described in attachment.
It seems easier for me to make a common system service than a Koha plugin.

[Koha] Anonymous Search History

[Caroline Cyr-La-Rose]

Hi All,

I'm trying to figure out the search_history table in Koha. Are anonymous 
OPAC searches ever added to that table? My EnableOpacSearchHistory

see in the C4::Search::History that if a user is not logged in, the 
search history is saved in a cookie. But is it ever saved in the database?

Re: [Koha] Specific Material Designation

[Kelly McElligott]

Hi,
Bob was able to answer your question if it was specifically about Item
Types, but I believe you may be asking about the material type that is
driven from the values in your leader from the marc record.

Here is a link to all the images and types of material types that are
designated in Koha :

Re: [Koha] Specific Material Designation

[Bob Birchall]

Item Types are defined on the Administration page of the staff client. 
You can define your item types in whatever form you wish. If you wish 
you can use different descriptions at the record level (942$c) and the 
holdings level (items.itype or 952$y). Which is used in the circulation 
rules is defined by the system preference 'item-level_itypes'.


There is more description in the manual:
https://koha-community.org/manual/17.05/html/02_administration.html#basic-parameters

I hope this responds to your question.

[Koha] Specific Material Designation

[Ma. Victoria H. Silva-Manuel]

 Hi.

In OPAC, it only shows material type like "Maps". Is it possible to also
show the specific material designation?
For example, "Maps : Atlas" and how to do it?

Thank you.
