 Damnit. The fix introduced in 3.18.06.1 was because fresh installs were
 possible but upgrades weren't. My fix ended up making it so that
 upgrades were possible, but fresh installs aren't.

 Now I've hopefully tested all the combinations and didn't encounter any
 issues, so have uploaded 3.18.06.2.

[Koha] Upgrading from Koha 3.18.5.1 to 3.18.6 Problem

Re: [Koha] Buggy OS Upgrade

[Arslan Farooq]

Hi Bruce,

I am on Debian 7.8 (wheezy).

I don't know solution to your problem, but the following may help others to
help you:

I was on Koha 3.18.4 (installed using packages) and tried '*apt-get upgrad*e'
and got the '*The following packages have been kept back*' message for
koha-common.

I tried '*aptitude upgrade*' and it upgraded to Koha 3.18.5 with addition
to '*The following NEW packages will be installed:
libdbix-connector-perl{a}*' message, which did not happen when I did '*apt-get
upgrade*'.

Now I'm upgraded to 3.18.5 and tried Z39.50 search and added a record with
item. No errors. Works fine.

 This week we upgraded our distro from squeeze to wheezy.

 Byte order is not compatible at /usr/lib/perl/5.14/Storable.pm line 416 at

 I am a bit embarrassed.
 After discussing this problem with my IT wizard who actually looked at
 callnumber.pl and understood it's inner workings, I know where the
 unwanted
 numbers are coming from.  Many of our call numbers consist of nothing more
 than two upper case letters, for example QM. The plugin is looking at that
 and seeing a prefix and adding sequential numbers to create a unique call
 number. Our numbers are not unique.

 Perhaps a brief explanation of what this plugin is meant to do would be a
 useful addition to the manual?
 As I understand it, the plugin looks for any number of or combination of
 upper case letters, and/or punctuation.
 It treats that information as a prefix, chooses the largest number assigned
 to this prefix, and adds one to it. If there is no number it adds a space
 and a number 1 to the end.
 For example If I type in M, it looks for all the Ms in the call number
 field, finds the one with the highest number and then adds the next number
 in the sequence (for example M 123 exists, so it will make this one M 124).

 Unfortunately that won't work with our system.  But at least I know I'm not
 going mad.

  With the plugin callnumber.pl activated in 942 $h and 952$o :
   the 1 appears after the call number in 942 $h as it is being saved as
  described above.  But, it vanishes again - it does not appear in the MARC
  after saving. The 952$o is populated automatically with the information
  from 942 h.
 
  With the plugin enabled in $942 h, after editing the field if I click on
  the editing box to the right of the 942 h (this is only there when the
  plugin is activated)  -  it inserts the 1
  My original aim for activating the plugin in the 942 h was to pull the
  call  number from our 099 field.  But it doesn't do that, and it has to
 be
  manually input.  However if I disable the plugin in 942 and enable it in
  952, it will pull the information directly from the 099 field to 952 o.
 But
  if you edit an existing item's 952 o, it adds the 1.
 
  Note: our callnumbers are not unique. I wonder if this is part of the
  problem? I was just looking at
  http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=13364 when it
  dawned on me that the plugin might be built with the assumption that full
  callnumbers would be unique.
 
  At any rate the plugin's behaviour seems contrary to (at least my)
  expectations. Perhaps I should file a bug report, once I figure out how
 to
  describe it. I am not the techie on the team ;-)
  Maybe someone who really understands how it works could explain what it
  does and does not do?

Re: [Koha] MYSQL to SQL Sever

[Arslan Farooq]

Hi Sina,

I don't understand what exactly you are trying to do.

If you just want to transfer data from Koha's database to Oracle database,
then these might be helpful:

Re: [Koha] Koha 3.18 : Search Patrons -- Possible Bug

[Arslan Farooq]

Hi guys,

So, this morning, I noticed that Google Chrome (Windows) did not have the
issue. Browsing patron working, and patron search working.

I checked the console, no errors. I checked the browser version and it was
still 39.0.2171.71 (no auto upgraded).

But issue has resolved automagically. Not sure how.

May be it was a cache issue.

 Hi,

 Crap. More information.

 In previous email, Chrome was Google Chrome in Windows 7.

 Just checked same thing in Chromium 37.0.2062.120 Built on Debian 7.6 (64
 bit),
 and search and browse patron work perfectly there. Not even a warning.

 So problem seems to be in Google Chrome 39.0.2171.71 on Windows.

 In Chrome 39.0.2171.71, opening members-home.pl results in following
 errors
 in Chrome's console:

 Entering a name of a patron and clicking Search does not work.

 And clicking any alphabet (for browsing) results in another error entry:

 In Firefox, things work correctly. Search works. Browsing patrons

[Koha] Koha 3.18 : Search Patrons -- Possible Bug

[Arslan Farooq]

Hi guys,

My server is Debian 7, and Koha was installed using the packages
(koha-common).

I upgraded to Koha 3.18, and now searching the patrons works only if I
enter borrower number.

Searching by name, first or surname, email address does not work (search
returns nothing).

See screenshots:

Okay, the search *and *the browsing work on Firefox.

And the search or browsing does NOT work in Google Chrome 39.0.2171.71.

I'll investigate more and report.

Re: [Koha] Feedback on Bug 13290 -- Returning items from the checkouts table

[Arslan Farooq]

Hi Owen,

How about when we alter and save some system preference(s),
a gray semi-transparent box appears like this:
http://s4.postimg.org/ggaj5ni0d/tmp.png

One point in its favor can be the element of UI consistency,
perhaps.

Highlighting a row seems good too. But what if not all the rows
are visible on a certain screen's view area when the staff will press
the check-in button. Could happen.

Re: [Koha] Call for Manual Help

Hi Nicole,

How may I help?

You'll need to explain some specifics what needs to be done (to a first
timer).

I can follow your instructions, get something done, and then add a page in
Wiki later and describe how it's done.

At the moment, I think the wiki does not have much info about how to help
with the manual.

Re: [Koha] email notices about hold awaiting

[Arslan Farooq]

Hi,

So the thing is that when we check-in the book, we get the Hold Found
slip.

We press Confirm Hold and an email will be generated to the guy in
hold queue.

If we pressed Ignore on the slip then an email will not be sent to the
next guy in hold queue. We'll need to re-check-in the book and the
confirm Hold slip will appear again, and we press the Confirm Hold
button. An email will be sent.

But if first person cancel his hold after receiving email for holds
 awaiting pick up, System does not send email to the person in queue. So He
 can Pick it from library.


In 3.16.4, I don't see an option for the user to cancel or suspend hold
that's already waiting to be picked. See: http://i.imgur.com/4WoRkPy.png

Hi Saira,

You explained your problem very nicely.

Just one question while I try to confirm the behavior (and someone may
answer first): what is your full Koha version?

I have 3.16.04.

 Dear All

 I am using Ubuntu Koha 3.16.  I am facing an issue. When 2 or 3 persons

 returned in library, system send an auto generated email (Hold awaiting for
 pick up) to the person who is at first priority. when that person issues
 this book and return it in the library, system send an email for holds
 awaiting pick up to the person in queue and so on...

 But if first person cancel his hold after receiving email for holds

 Would anyone please tell  what should do for this situation. If patron at
 first priority cancel his hold, system should send an email to the other in

Re: [Koha] Should Koha support old versions of Internet Explorer?

[Arslan Farooq]

Hi Owen,

I think our developers' time is precious and should not be wasted on
supporting IE6 or IE7. If some organization wants to use the said versions
and want to use the latest version of Koha, then they can pay for support.
They can't have it both ways.

As you know (being a web developer) that these IEs are not standards
compliant browsers and have all kinds of strange quirks and idiotic
behaviors. It's a nightmare to make modern web technologies work on these
browsers properly.


 - In your use of Koha are you required to use any version of Internet
 Explorer and if so what version?


No. And today's users have their smartphones and laptops; and a library's
PCs are there and it takes few clicks to install Firefox, Chrome or any
other decent browser.

I can imagine some environments may have restrictions in place to not let
users install programs. And for that, anyone can keep a portable version of
Firefox http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable in a usb
flash disk / or copy on a PC.

Basically where there is a will there is a way. It makes no sense to me
that any sane developer would waste his life (life is just a sum of
moments, minutes, hours we have) on IE6 IE7 quirks.


 - In your use of Koha do you work with library patrons who are
 required to use any version of Internet Explorer?


No.


 - In your opinion what should be the minimum supported version of
 Internet Explorer?


If you are bored and want to amuse yourself, then perhaps some IE8 support.
No lower.

Re: [Koha] Improving Search Results

[Arslan Farooq]

Hi Joel,

Libraries all over the world (
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_Users_Worldwide) would not be
using Koha if its search does not work :) So my guess is there is something
wrong with your set-up. Search works very well out of the box -- if Koha is
installed properly.

The information you provided is OK but it is missing a key ingredient: your
set-up. There may be a hundred ways to install Koha, and one recommended
way.

We don't know what distribution you used. We don't know what method was
used to set-up Koha. We don't know what version of Koha you are using. We
don't know if you recently upgraded or something like that. We don't know
if search was working before and not working now, or is it that ever since
you set-up Koha you are using it for cataloging only and not circulation.

All we know is the search does not work. Cause of it could be a number of
reasons.

Arslan

 I support a relatively new Koha installation, and the search quality we've
 experienced has been exceptionally poor. What can I do to improve search
 quality?

 Here's an example I received today from a librarian:

 ---
 On 4/21/14 I cataloged *The Word of Promise from Jesus: Dramatic Passages
 from the Gospels*. Jim Caviezel was listed as an author since he wrote the
 foreword. It was given two barcodes since the book also contained a CD.
 The barcodes are 212580 for the book and 212581 for the CD.

 L had a request from Interlibrary loan for this title. We searched KOHA
 every way we could think to pull this title up and continued to get a
 message that nothing was found.

 I went to World Cat and found the title with the indication that it was
 available at York College. In desperation, I checked the basic LC call
 number and found BT 306. I had L_ go search the BT 306 section of the
 shelves and he found the book!

 Then after finding the book and having the barcode number, I tried to pull
 the book up by searching for the barcode number. Again, nothing found.

 As a last resort, I went into the Reports area of KOHA and searched for the
 barcode number. Guess what! The Reports area found it. I clicked on the
 Biblio number and up came the record. Now the record was in there! Why
 wouldn't it come up when we searched for it?

 Another example.

 Dr. E asked me to order the 2014 Award winning books. I found
 the list and checked KOHA for each title to confirm that we didn't have a
 copy in the library. A couple of the books seemed familiar, but all I got
 was not found. I prepared the requisition and ordered the titles.

 Well, the books came in last Friday. Tuesday I cataloged them. When I
 downloaded the cataloging from OCLC into KOHA, two of the titles didn't go
 in because they were duplicates!! I went back and tried to pull them up in
 KOHA and guess what! They came up. So this caused us to have 2 copies of
 these two titles. Fortunately it didn't cost more than $20 to get these
 titles, but KOHA needs to be working correctly so this doesn't happen
 again.

 -

 The point of this is that, from our librarians perspective, without a
 better search experience, Koha is broken.

 Those are their words, not mine. Here's the thing: when I run a search in
 Koha, I do get back lots of results from our catalog that are highly
 relevant to the search terms. But these are exact title matches, and they
 come back with Not found.

 How can I improve this?

Re: [Koha] Export Athena / import Koha

Hi,

Your MARC file has the barcode field as Chris said, see:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/17hfzvv5obvjmvl/test.mrk?dl=0

I was able to import the above record in my Koha, see this:
*https://www.dropbox.com/s/t76q81nt4ct555p/black_beauty.png?dl=0
https://www.dropbox.com/s/t76q81nt4ct555p/black_beauty.png?dl=0*

I just changed the barcode (to make it unique for my installation),
permanent location, current location and koha item type to my intallation's
requirements and it works.

That means that perhaps you need to double check your 952a, 952b, 952y
match with what you have set in your Basic Parameters settings of your
installation.

 schema.orgRDFa integration that Koha offers, and I was hoping I might
 be able to put
 together some composite images that show libraries (big and small, around
 the world) that are now more connected to the web of linked data as a
 result of that effort.

Hi Sandeep


 I am new to git, Kindly guide me which command shall I give now for
 upgrading my koha version.


I Googled and found this:

Please post on one of the email addresses like koha@lists.katipo.co.nz.
When you cross post two people may end up replying to your same question
wasting their time.

Let me explain, it's possible that a person may have subscribed only
koha@lists.katipo.co.nz. And a second person has only subscribed to
koha-de...@lists.koha-community.org. When you post on both addresses both
persons will receive your message, and both may end up replying to your

Hence, wasting time of a living breating person. And what do we have in

Re: [Koha] MARC Edit

[Arslan Farooq]

Hi Agha

Dear sirs, hello


I'm sure you meant dear sirs *and* misses :)

Just two things that came to my mind, for the rest, someone with proper
expertise may soon reply to you.

I hope you created a new framework like explained here:
http://manual.koha-community.org/3.6/en/catadmin.html#marcbibframeworks




 We can’t edit the framework every time we need to add a tag or a subfield,
 especially which we might not use this tags with all the records we’re
 cataloging.


And, well yes, we should not do that... editing the framework every time we
need to add a tag or subfield. But, what we *should* do is we enable all
the fields we *may* need during cataloging, and when we do the cataloging,
we simply leave the fields we might not need for a _specific_ record.
Simple.

Re: [Koha] koha-httpd.conf and cPanel

Hi Andi

Is it a shared hosting or a dedicated hosting?

I am now on going to run Koha Web installer on hosting server managed by
 cPanel.

 How to elaborate 'koha-httpd.conf' file of Koha so can be used by
 cPanel and finally run this Koha Web Installer without problem?

 Any suggestion?

Re: [Koha] koha-httpd.conf and cPanel

[Arslan Farooq]

Hi Andi

It is dedicated hosting (VDS/VPS).


Hmm. But you are doing a manual install on some distro other than Debian or
Ubuntu I suppose?

I may not be able to help you with the manual installation. I did it a long
time ago... and forgotten most of stuff.

But I can tell you that on Debian the installation procedure is very easy
and you won't have to configure virtual hosts. All you'll have to do is
tell apache to listen to 8080 port (assuming the default 80 will be your
OPAC).

Anyway, I'm still new to this. You may want to wait for someone experienced
to reply. They are busy in KohaCon however I think.

Good Luck.

[Koha] Can anyone help a new Koha user?

[Arslan Farooq]

Hi Stewart

If the only reason you are trying to install Koha on Windows is that you
don't know how to install and use Linux then I think we need to find some
way we can help you set up a Linux box and help you set up Koha on it.

Once Koha is up and running on a Linux (preferably Debian) PC, then more
people will be able to help you with issues and questions you may have
later on.

Now about helping you to set up Debian Linux first, then Koha:

How about you spend you time and effort on learning how to install Debian
on a PC. I assure you it will be worth the effort. You can find help online
how to do that. And, I'm thinking, perhaps I can help you set up Debian on
a PC on a Sunday using chat (#koha, Yahoo etc), or Skype. Have not thought
much about it yet. Just an idea. But seems possible. We can talk about it.

Once Debian is set-up, then installing Koha using Debia koha-common package
is very easy.

You decide. Be brave. Don't be afraid of Linux.

Hi everyone,
 I'm an English teacher at a high school in Changzhou, Jiangsu, China.  I'm
 not a librarian, and have never used catalog software before.  I'm helping
 some other English teachers here put together an English library for the
 students, and I have been recommended Koha by a number of librarians.

 I am not very technically proficient.  I have never used Linux, so have
 opted for a Windows install.  I used Raja Biswas' Youtube
 videohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou7WgoeSmOcas a guide.  The
 installers I used are:

  - ActivePerl 5.8.8.820-MSWin32-x86-274739
  - Apache 2.0.59-win32-x86-nossl
  - MySQL-4.0.26-win32
  - Koha2.2.8-W32-R0

 I found that using these installers that Koha would actually install
 (previous attempts with the latest versions of Perl, SQL etc failed).

 So, it installed fine, but when I type in intranet or opac it gives me
 the dreaded 500 server error:  Premature end of script headers:
 mainpage.pl
 .

Re: [Koha] Right To Left in Arabic KOHA

[Arslan Farooq]

Hi Ruth :)

This will be very very, very cool. Thank you so much.

Take good care,
arslan


 I've had occasion recently to look this problem over, despite not being a
 speaker of any right-to-left languages, and there are two major parts of
 the problem here:

 1) String translation (which Koha handles with Pootle)
 2) Layout translation (things flushing right instead of left, table column
 order, and so on).

 Koha handles the string-translation part very well, *if* the translation
 team has done that work; many translations remain only partial, so there
 are still lots of English words appearing on the pages.  Naturally, anyone
 bilingual who wants to help Koha grow should be encouraged to participate
 (at http://translate.koha-community.org) in getting the strings
 translated!

 The layout-translation?  Not so much.  The code automatically inserts
 'dir=rtl' in the html tag at the page header, for languages so
 designated, but the default CSS still contains many 'float: left' and
 'text-align: left' directives, which causes the pages to look very strange
 for right-to-left readers.  It is that problem I've been looking into, and
 I believe I have a solution in the works; it is functioning on my OPAC test
 server on my laptop, with English and Arabic installed, and behaving the
 way I would expect it to.

 My solution has four requirements:
   1) It cannot disrupt left-to-right pages; if a library has both English
 and Arabic as choices, both need to work.
   2) It should be generalized, so that any RTL language can use it.
   3) It should be semi-automatic; at most, a system-preference needs to be
 set to make it work.
   4) It should *not* be a complete new set of templates, which would make
 upkeep a bigger problem.

 The approach I'm testing right now meets all four of these requirements;
 you just translate the templates with the script at
 misc/translator/translate, as you do now, and enable the language in the
 system preferences, as you do now, and it Just Works.   There is still some
 CSS tweaking and testing to be done, and the task of extending the solution
 into the staff client, but I'm on it.

 After I finish this patch, hopefully in the next week or two, I will be
 releasing it for the community; it should easily apply to 3.6.x, 3.8.x, and
 master.

Re: [Koha] Koha Digest, Vol 78, Issue 55

[Arslan Farooq]

Hi Sander

I've installed Debian Squeeze (6.0.4-i386-xfce) and i'm wondering where can
 i find a step by step guide (with all packeges requires, apache, mysq,
 zebra
 and perl configuration) for the installation of Koha 3.8 on this operating
 system, all the guide that i've seen seems to be too generic, for my little
 knowledges.



This might help you a bit (or not)... after installing Debian:

1: add this to a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/koha.list file:
   deb http://debian.koha-community.org/koha squeeze main

2. wget -O- http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/gpg.asc | sudo apt-key
add -

3: add in /etc/apt/sources.list:
   deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main
   dev-src ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main

4. apt-get update

5. apt-get install koha-common

6: apt-get install mysql-server

7: a2enmod rewrite

8: /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

9: koha-create --create-db aridlib

10: Run web installer
