Re: [Koha] 500 internal server error - only in one category
Hi Scott, When I've seen this, it's usually a problem with one or more patron files in the category, and not with the category itself. Our upgrades to 22.05 are a bit far in my memory, but I remember at one point there was a problem with dates in the patron file being -00-00. This resulted in error 500 during a patron search. You can try select date_renewed,dateofbirth,dateenrolled,dateexpiry,lastseen,updated_on,debarred from borrowers where date_renewed = '-00-00' or dateexpiry = '-00-00' or dateenrolled = '-00-00' or dateofbirth = '-00-00' or lastseen = '-00-00' or updated_on = '-00-00' or debarred = '-00-00'; Regards, Caroline On 2024-06-11 13:40, Scott Owen wrote: Hi All, I just upgraded to Koha Koha version: 22.05.21.000 and imported sql data from a older system ( 20.05.15.001 ) The catalog looks fine, as well as my "Board" "Staff" and "Teacher" categories.

Re: [Koha] Loan periods
Hi Alexander,
Maybe someone else will have a genius idea, but I don't really see a way
around creating specific item types, or simplifying your rules. (A
software change is always a good time to review policies imo...) I mean,
you could always do manual loan periods
(https://koha-community.org/manual/latest/en/html/circulationpreferences.html#specifyreturndate),
but it's a hassle to do it for every loan...
I wanted to address this however
It looks a bit messy in cataloguing but these would also show up in the OPAC
(eg. in the advanced search limiters).
This can be hidden in with the OpacAdvancedSearchTypes system preference.
If you use ElasticSearch, the facets in the search results can be hidden
in Administration > Search engine configuration (Elasticsearch) >
Bibliographic records, uncheck the itype facet at the bottom of the screen.
In the detailed record, you can hide the item type column by unchecking
the item_itemtype column in Administration > Table settings > OPAC >
holdingst.
That way, the item types should not appear in the OPAC (although for
transparency, patrons might be interested to know how long they can take
something out).
For cataloguers, I don't really see the difference for them to enter a
loan period in an item field vs choosing an item type in an item field.
Good luck with all of that!

Hello!
Being pretty new to Koha I still struggle to get a solution for our loan
periods.
I understand that Koha specifies loan periods based on `item types` and `patron
types` and then calculates the loan period using the circulation matrix. I also
believe I have an understanding of this matrix and I also know such concepts
from other ILS.
However, in our library we assume that all patrons are created equal.
Now, we (currently) assume that not all books (just to take one item type) are
created equal.
IOW in our current system we have books with a loan period of 4 weeks (usual default) while we also
have books with a loan period of 3 days (being open 24/7 with self service checkout this is our
`not for loan`) and others with 2 years. Currently, any patron (they are all equal) can have items
with any of these loan periods. Eg. I got Peskin/Schroeder as as desktop reference for 2 years.
Then go to the library during my usual working hours (10pm or so ;) and up pick Bailin/Love from
the open shelves to prepare the next lecture and while I am there I spot this interesting "new
piece over there" and add it to the lot not noticing that it should stay there for a week or
so. (Telling our SIP terminal "you can not take this" will not work well, especially as
most of our patrons would not notice the red frownie and no-one would notice the beeps at the
entrance in the middle of the night.)
However, till here I can model most of it by creating an item type `book` along
with `desktop reference` for the first two items. I do not yet see the new
items shelve (a temporary location) where items stay for a week till they move
to their permanent location with a regular loan period of 4 weeks. (IOW in our
current system the loan period sometimes depends on temporary locations.)
Still, this requires to add a new item type for each loan period.
When it comes to databases we now have a number of different loan periods, as
we model them as the subscription period minus some contract dependent time to
allow for cancellation (or renewal). E.g. some are subscriptions for campus
(real not for loan) with some contract running a year. The next contract runs 3
years with 4 month before it's end for cancellation.
Then we have individually licensed accesses ranging from a monthly or bi-monthly period
to years. Those are currently checked out to the patrons who have the access and we use
the reminders as notification to our patrons ("should we renew?") and the
renewals as a notification to us that the contract should indeed be renewed for another
period. How would I model this in Koha? Do I really create a host of item types with
funny names like
1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks, 6 weeks, 7 weeks, 8 weeks, 1 month,
2 months, 3 months, 4 months, 5 months, 6 months, 7 months, 8 months, 9 months,
10 months, 11 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 30 months, 36 months, 42
months, 48 months, 54 months, 60 months, 66 months, 72 months, 78 months
It looks a bit messy in cataloguing but these would also show up in the OPAC
(eg. in the advanced search limiters).
In our current system I just had a subfield on item level where I could specify
a loan period. Do I get it right that this concept does not exist and can not
be modeled in Koha? How can I get around this? How do others handle this? Maybe
I need a different angle to look at it...

Re: [Koha] The "one manual" idea
of the software and services that it offers. I think that the pursuit of a single, authoritative manual would be a good move for Koha. Here are my thoughts on the Koha documentation: – Is there a clear distinction between what belongs in the manual versus what belongs in the wiki? – There is a lot of informal "documentation" here in the mailing list that would be great to have in either the manual or the wiki. (Not both.) – I think that it would be good to have a means of easily switching between languages for any given section—if a translation isn't complete or is unclear, the reader can switch to a language that may be better. For example, when consulting manuals for Dell products, I can quickly switch between English and German when it makes sense to do so. Microsoft documentation that has been machine translated usually has a little globe icon at the top of the page that allows the reader to switch to the original English text. Other online documentation that I consult requires changing the language tag in the URL, e.g. "de-de" to "en-us". – Even if a new feature doesn't have complete documentation, I think it would be helpful to insert a placeholder for it so that readers at least know that its absence is acknowledged. (You might even advertise the need for additional documentation crew!) – I have occasionally noticed elements that are undocumented. For example, the "SMTP servers" section in "Additional parameters". Might there be a way in which new documentation could be requested or prioritized through one-click bug reporting or a voting system? – With respect to versioning: – If the manual's backend is capable of versioning, won't it still be possible to consider a point-in-time snapshot to be "version X" of the manual? – If versions of the manual will be preserved, it would be helpful to be able to switch easily between versions, as with languages. – If backporting was still carried out under the "one manual" concept, I think that it would be acceptable to limit the extent of the backports to the version considered "oldoldstable" at the time. – For any version of the manual that is beyond the extent of backporting, I think that it would be acceptable to insert a caution in the header to the effect, "This manual is current to Koha version X. It is no longer maintained. If you see a feature or a process in the manual that does not match what you experience in your Koha installation, please check the same spot in a later version of the manual. (Would the following extension help direct readers? http://sphinx-version-warning.readthedocs.io/) – Tagging sections of the manual with applicable versions is a good idea, e.g. "Applies to: All Versions", "Applies to: 22.05 and earlier", "Applies to: 22.11 and later", etc. Thank you for soliciting our feedback. If there are elements of documentation and the manual that I could support, I think I could give some time to that.

Re: [Koha] System preferences related to "not for loan" itemstypes
Hello Christina, I don't think I have the answer, but maybe some avenues to look at... First, the "Hide in OPAC" option in item types is not used to hide the item or the record from the OPAC, but rather it hides the advanced search options (if itemtypes is in OpacAdvancedSearchTypes). The name of the option is not the best, but that is what it does. My first hypothesis for your problem would be OpacHiddenItemsHidesRecord. Although I'm not sure why one item among many would hide the record... Normally, OpacHiddenItemsHidesRecord is used to hide the record if all items are hidden by OpacHiddenItems. You could try deactivating it and seeing if the record appears. I've also seen problems in the past if something in OpacHiddenItems is not written correctly. You could try deleting everything that is in there and check if the record appears. If it does, add the content back line per line to see which line causes the problem. Maybe the logs could tell you something? Also, if you have the action logs for system preferences enabled, you could look at what sysprefs were modified around the time the problem appeared. If it is as you think and a syspref was changed, you could see it there. That's all I have... Good luck!

[Koha] Documentation - Are automated screenshots the way to go?
g into. We currently have a Google spreadsheet with a list of about 1600 images. Anyone can go in and analyze an image. If several people analyze 2 or 3 images each, we'll be done in no time! It is not too difficult to analyze a screenshot, but you do need to know how to use Koha and know how to read HTML at least a little bit (just to spot the IDs or classes of the tags). I wrote up a procedure on how to do it in the Google drive https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wscmVmficQSpCmUDPNEYLp-TFJoR3gay2O6zS8q-Kak/edit?usp=sharing After we determine if automation is the way to go, there are still a lot of things that would need to be ironed out before jumping in. Like what data to use, is the sample data enough? Do we only do the easy ones? When running the scripts, how do we determine that the screenshots have been correctly generated? Where do we store the Cypress scripts? When do we generate the screenshots? But all those questions will come later. First we must decide if we do it or not, and for that we need to analyze the images. If you have opinions on this, or would like to help, or would simply like to know more about the Koha manual, there is an upcoming Documentation meeting on September 27, at 14 UTC.

Re: [Koha] MARC modification templates problem
Hi Eric,
Did you try without the if? The regex replace should only replace the
example.com links and leave the other ones alone.
I tried in 23.05.02 with
Copy and replace All field(s) 856 u to 856 u RegEx
s/^https?:\/\/example.com/https://proxy.cca.edu/url?=https://example.com/
the record was
856 _ _ ‡uhttps://example.com‡yLink to proxy
856 _ _ ‡uhttps://www.cca.edu‡yLink to retain
the modified record was
856 _ _ ‡uhttps://proxy.cca.edu/url?=https://example.com‡yLink to proxy
856 _ _ ‡uhttps://www.cca.edu‡yLink to retain
You could write a bug report for the "1st" vs "every" thing. Personally,
I've never understood the "1st" option. It's probably because as you
said it's not necessarily the first visually. And I'm not sure if the
first would always be the one you need to change in all the records,
records being so different from each other.
Best of luck!

check it against the if condition, and then copies the modified $u
subfield to all other instances of 856$u no matter what is configured
in the modification template. Again, I tested with both "all" and
"1st" 856 fields and the result was the same. Saying "1st" 856 still
modifies both 856s.
So am I stuck writing a bug report? There's no way to modify only one
of a set of the same fields even with if conditions? I would expect
other templates dealing with commonly repeated fields like subject
headings to run into trouble then. Maybe only the "copy and replace"
action has problems so fewer templates are affected?

many "copy and replace" for various resources. Or you can do it by

to have the URLs matching some-online-resource.com
<http://some-online-resource.com>, batch modify those.
Then change the modification template, change the report to have the
URLs another-online-resource.com
<http://another-online-resource.com> and batch modify those
records, etc.
Good luck!

Re: [Koha] MARC modification templates problem
Hi Eric,
This has been my experience as well. I haven't found a way to modify
only one field when there are more that one of the same tag in the same
record.

Hi collective wisdom,

I'm missing something or there's a bug/limitation. I know I could
accomplish these edits with MARCEdit or a script, but I was hoping to use
Koha's tools.
I have a record with two 856 fields with links, I want to apply our proxy
server prefix to one link but not the other. That seems to be impossible;
Koha clobbers the second link with a copy of the first. Here's a minimal
example.
Record
245 _ _ ‡aExample
856 4 0 ‡uhttps://example.com‡yLink to proxy
856 4 0 ‡uhttps://www.cca.edu‡yLink to retain
MARC modification
Copy and replace 1st field(s) 856 u to field 856 u Regex ✅ s/^http/
https://proxy.cca.edu/url?=http/
If field 856 u matches m/https://example.com/ Regex ✅
Output record
245_aExample
856 40 _uhttps://proxy.cca.edu/url?=https://example.com
_yLink to proxy
856 40 _uhttps://proxy.cca.edu/url?=https://example.com
_yLink to retain
This happens whether I set the modification template to use the "1st" or
"every" 856 field. I don't understand why the second 856 is touched at
all, since it does not meet the "if" condition, much less why instead of
receiving its own link proxied it gets the first 856 URL proxied.
Based on a few tests, it also seems like the "1st" field with respect to
modification actions is not always the one that's visually first when I
edit a record. I tried a set of three actions which 1) copied the first
field to another, unused field, 2) modified it there, and then 3) copied it
back, but Koha copied the second field instead.

Hi Aida, Yes, you need to run this in the terminal. What I do is open a terminal, go to my Koha environment and type ./misc/batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl -c The -c at the end is important, otherwise it will not run. It's the "confirm" flag, meaning you did not type all that by error ;) I also always run this at night for production installations.

Re: [Koha] Regarding subject wise report
Hello, I think you will get more responses if you specify what you're trying to do exactly. Most times, people will not know what to answer when the questions are very broad. If you add examples of what you're trying to get, you will surely get more answers. Also, I suggest you try looking in the reports library which already has hundreds of reports on all kinds of subjects (it's divided into many pages, you can click the links at the top (SQL reports holds, SQL reports patrons, SQL reports circulation) to access the other pages): https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library Regards, Caroline On 2023-04-27 03:14, ANJU SAINI wrote: Anyone help me with generating various subject wise reports?

Re: [Koha] Restore the default Marc Framework
Hi Victor,
It's a bit convoluted, but here's what I usually do if I need to do this.
In the database, I delete the default and acq framework.
DELETE FROM marc_subfield_structure WHERE framework IN ('', 'ACQ');
DELETE FROM marc_tag_structure WHERE framework IN ('', 'ACQ');
Then, I reload the original YAML file
./misc/load_yaml.pl --load --file
installer/data/mysql/en/marcflavour/marc21/mandatory/marc21_framework_DEFAULT.yml
I hope this helps.

Hi,
As far as I know, no. Not within Koha settings.
I think you'd need to change the XSLT file to alter the HTML "a" tag and
add the target=blank part.

Check your koha-conf.xml to make sure your upload path is valid and a

Check your OpacBaseURL system preference, it should contain the

your OPAC, starting with http(s) and no trailing slash. Using Fred's

I'm using MARC21 on Koha 22.11. Let's call your library's URL
http://library.aq. Let's also say that you have access to another
server called http://documents.aq. Both systems are running on
Ubuntu, which is the only system I know how to do this on. I'm
also using http, not https. I don't think it matters in this case.
The document is avengingchicken.pdf

You can, but I still haven't figured out how to do it. I know that
you need to set the access directory and upload directory in the
/etc/koha/sites/(yourlibrary)/koha-conf.xml (towards the bottom of
the screen), and that Koha gives the file a 32-character hash tag.
After that, I got horribly lost, which is why I figured out a
different way.

Re: [Koha] Cataloging in Koha for dummies
Hello Aida, I suggest you look here: https://koha-community.org/manual/latest/en/html/administration.html#edit-framework-fields-and-subfields Things to look for: - Mandatory - check the field and subfield for mandatory flags and remove them if not necessary - Managed in tab - you can choose 'ignore' to remove the subfield completely, however, be very cautious because that can cause data loss - Visibility - uncheck 'Editor' to remove the subfield from the cataloguing form, unlike the 'Managed in tab: ignore' above, this will not cause data loss, so is a better choice, in my opinion, if you're not absolutely sure of what you're doing Also, when you edit MARC frameworks, make sure to run the test after https://koha-community.org/manual/latest/en/html/administration.html#marc-bibliographic-framework-test I hope this helps, Caroline On 2023-03-21 08:14, libr...@ssst.edu.ba wrote: Hi everyone, I'm writing to ask for some help cataloging in Koha.

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Circulating non-specific items
Hi Fred, That is what I had proposed at first (you can even add items in batch with the "Add multiple items" button), but they didn't like the idea of each dinosaur having its own barcode. However, I don't see how you can circulate in Koha without each item having its own barcode. I think they will have to bite the bullet and barcode each dinosaur if they want to use Koha to circulate. Otherwise, I'm sure they can continue with the spreadsheet method, since it seems to work for them right now. :/ Thanks!

Re: [Koha] Circulating non-specific items
Thank you, Lauren! I had thought of the envelopes too (like the hanging clear plastic ones we had "back in the day" for books with audio cassettes). I think that will be the most obvious/easy option. I'm guessing your equipment and weirdly shaped items each have their own specific barcode? They told me specifically that they wanted a sheet with one barcode for "dinosaurs," and one barcode for "sea creatures," and whatnot. But I don't see how that could work with Koha... You can't check out the same barcode to multiple patrons at the same time, and when you check in, how does Koha know from which patron file to remove the item? Anyway! Thanks for your ideas! I'll let them know about the clear plastic envelopes as an option. Caroline On 2023-03-15 15:58, Lauren Denny wrote: HI Caroline, I have two different situations that are related.

Re: [Koha] Modify Patron Transaction Invoices and Fee Receipts
Hi Naveen, Transaction invoice = ACCOUNT_DEBIT Transaction receipt = ACCOUNT_CREDIT Summary is not customizable... (https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11340) Slip = ISSUESLIP Quick slip = ISSUEQSLIP Overdues = OVERDUES_SLIP Checkin slip = CHECKINSLIP Can I ask where you checked? I know most of them are described in the manual https://koha-community.org/manual/latest/en/html/tools.html#existing-notices-and-slips but it might be missing in crucial places where people would check first... So I'd like to add it there. Thanks! Caroline On 2023-02-27 23:33, Ms. Naveen Ali wrote: Dear members, I'd like to modify the Patron Transaction Invoices and Fee Receipts.

Information about hosting KohaCon -- The community has agreed that KohaCon conferences must be either: - hybrid with an in-person conference streamed online, or - entirely online. This allows for greater accessibility, so that everyone can attend and learn from each other no matter their availability, ability to travel, or budget. For hybrid conferences, the rules for continent rotation apply. Therefore, for 2024, the following continents are eligible: - Africa - Asia - South America - Oceania For more information about the generally agreed rules established for KohaCons, see https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Processes_for_KohaCons This covers the timetable, continent rotation, and information to help with planning a successful KohaCon. Deadline for proposals -- The closing date for proposals is *4 April 2023 at 23:59 UTC*. If there is more than one proposal, we will organize a vote - this will be announced on the mailing list. Help with your proposal -- The community stands behind anyone who volunteers to organize a KohaCon, and help is always available if you're unsure how to proceed. Send an email to the mailing list if you need help, or ask on IRC. There is a wealth of experience in the community from those who have attended and organized previous KohaCons (and other conferences). [1] If you do not have an account to edit the wiki, you can request one. It is usually pretty fast to get access. <https://inLibro.com/en> Caroline Cyr-La-Rose, M.L.I.S.

Re: [Koha] adding elements to opac-user.pl?
Hi Carlos, I've never tried it, but there is this section in the manual that shows how to add the barcode in the patron online account : https://koha-community.org/manual/latest/en/html/opac.html#your-summary (paragraph that starts with "If your patrons would like to see the items barcodes on their list of checked out items"). It's a bit convoluted as it predates (by a LOT) column configuration. Let us know if it still works!

Re: [Koha] Using the Recalls feature
Hi Eric! On 2023-01-20 14:56, Eric Phetteplace wrote: Hi collective wisdom, Are there other libraries out there using the fairly new (as of 22.05) Recalls feature? Our prior ILS had recalls so we were looking forward to using this but as our circulation staff tested it, we began running into some problems. I've read the wiki page <https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Catalyst_IT_Recalls> and the manual documentation <https://koha-community.org/manual//22.05/en/html/circulation.html#recalls> but they either omit some details or there are bugs. Here are our issues: I don't use recalls (and never worked in a library that used recalls), but I did test the feature extensively to document it. There are still bugs, as it is, like you said, a very new feature, and I know the community is working hard on correcting them. But as far as I could tell when trying it out, the basic functionalities work well. There's no indication from a patron's details page if their items have been recalled. I just tried in 22.05.06 and I see a mention in both the staff interface and the OPAC, under the patron's checkout, that it has been recalled. In the OPAC, it's only in italics, so maybe it's not very visible. https://snipboard.io/9oml8O.jpg In the staff interface, it's in bold red https://snipboard.io/rhxkyd.jpg If you don't see the messages, maybe there is CSS or JS hiding them? Otherwise, maybe they were added in a later patch between 22.05.00 and 22.05.06 and you don't have it yet, depending on the version you have... Also, maybe translations might affect this if you use Koha in another language... When you check in an item with a recall on it, a pop-up does not appear like the documentation says and a notification is not sent to the patron who placed the recall. Not sure what is going on there... I took the screenshot for the manual, so it worked for sure then. I also just tried in 22.05.06 and got the pop-up and my notice was generated... Note that the patron is only notified if they have an email address in their file. Do you have the recall notices in Tools > Notices and slips? If not, it may be the cause of the lack of notification... For the pop-up, is there a pop-up blocker or something similar that could interfere with it popping up? I know I used to have this problem with holds sometimes (of course, always when demonstrating in front of people, you know how it is!), I would wait for the pop-up to appear and sweat a little before noticing the small bar at the top of my browser telling me to accept the pop-up :) If the current due date on a checked out item is closer than the recall period, recalling an item *extends* the due date (e.g. item is due tomorrow, recall period is one week, recall => item is due in one week). I noticed this too! If the item is already late, it is suddenly not late anymore... I think you should report that one on bugzilla so that it can be corrected. Question: if the RecallsMaxPickUpDelay setting controls recall expiration, then what does the "Recall pickup period" circulation rule do? If I understand correctly, the recall pickup period rule sets the "expiration" date of the recall, whereas the system preference is the one that manages the second tab in Circulation > Recalls awaiting pickup. I imagine it's so that you can manage long awaiting recalls manually, but I expect that most libraries will set both at the same number and have them automatically expire. The developers might be able to answer you with more details on this one... The *Place recall* action displays even when it's not relevant (e.g. on a bib with all available items). This was already reported on bugzilla : https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30942 Finally, if you are not logged in and you select *Place recall*, you are taken to the login page, then to the patron details page. You have to re-navigate to the place you were originally to place the recall again. I have a convoluted OpacUserJS hack to work around this but thought I should point this out, it doesn't match user expectations. I am not able to get this behaviour on my 22.05.06. I click Place recall, log in, and I am brought to the recall confirmation page. Did you try without your JS hack? Are we doing something wrong? Or should I file some bug reports for these issues? If anyone else is using recalls in production, I would love to hear from you. Like I said I don't "use" the recalls feature, so I may not be the best reference on "real life" use, but since I tested it, documented it (in both English and French), and explained how it worked to my clients, I know the basics well enough. :) Regards, Caroline <https://inLibro.com/en> Caroline Cyr-La-Rose, M.L.I.S.

[Koha] [Docs] Screenshot update extravaganza at Hackfest
Hi everyone! I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say, "We're doing this at hackfest!" without consulting anyone, but here goes... We had a documentation meeting today and Aude raised the idea of using the hackfest to pool our resources to update the screenshots in the manual for the new staff interface design. We thought this was a great idea! We don't currently have an automation setup or anything so if any developer is open to help us with this it would be great. I know Jonathan talked to me of "Cucumber" many years ago, and David was also working on something, but neither panned out so far. Barring automation, if we all get into it and work as a team, we could do a lot of them manually too. Note that this is open to virtual participation! It's fun to be together to work alongside each other, but if someone can't make it to Marseille, the chat will be open or we can plan video chats too.

Re: [Koha] Matching authority records with tag 001
Hi Giacomo, Can you try with the search index "Local-number" instead? I looked at the Zebra indexing files and this seems to be the index for 001 in authorities.

Re: [Koha] Circulation Rules: Parent and Child Item Type
Hi Naveen, It's better to answer to the list rather than just me so someone can chime in if they know the answer. As far as I know, the rule for the parent type only applies to children for the "checkouts allowed" rule. This may have changed since, but when the parent/child item types were introduced, it was like this. If your "All" rule has a hard due date, and there are no other rules for the children item types, the hard due date should apply. Otherwise, you need to have a rule for each of your child item types to enforce the hard due date, which is unfortunate since you seem to have so many, but that is the way it is (as far as I know). I just tested it in 22.05 with the following rules * Rule 1 o Patron category : all o Item type : Books (parent type) o Checkouts allowed : 2 o Checkout period : 10 days (no hard due date) * Rule 2 o Patron category : all o Item type : all o Checkouts allowed : 50 o Checkout period : 30 (should not apply since I have a hard due date below) o Hard due date : exactly on 2022-08-17 I checked out an item with the "Children's books" item type, which is a child of the "Books" item type. The hard due date of the "all" category was applied because there is no specific rule for "Children's books". The checkout limit of the parent type (2) was also applied. I don't know if my example is just more confusing but the important part to remember is that the rule for the parent type will only apply to the children for the "checkouts allowed". For the rest, including the hard due date, it is managed in individual rules for each children type or an "all" rule that would include the children types.

Re: [Koha] multiple copy holdings
Hi David, If working in MARC21, you should have one 952 tag per copy. The mandatory subfields for 952 are $a (home library), $b (holding library), $p (barcode) and $y (itemtype). More info in the manual: https://koha-community.org/manual/22.05/en/html/cataloging.html#location-and-item-information-952 A (very minimal) record with multiple copies would look like 100 _a Conrad, Joseph. 245 _a 'Twixt Land and Sea / _c Joseph Conrad 942 _2z _cBK 952 _aCPL _bCPL _p55 _yEBOOK 952 _aCPL _bCPL _p1488 _yEBOOK I hope this helps, Caroline On 2022-08-10 19:02, David Schaller wrote: What is the best-practice way for preparing MARC data for Koha with respect to multiple copies of a title?

Re: [Koha] issuingrules from 19.11 to 20.05
Hi Vinod,
If you look at the existing rules in circulation_rules, you'll notice
the rule name is in the rule_name column and the value is in rule_value.
If you need to insert via SQL, you can do something like
INSERT INTO circulation_rules (branchcode, categorycode, itemtype,
rule_name, rule_value) VALUES ("BRANCHCODE", "CATEGORYCODE", "ITEMTYPE",
"issuelength", "21");
I would suggest doing it via the administration interface
(Administration > Circulation and fines rules) however, just because
there are so many different rules. I'm not sure what the consequences
are if only a few rules are filled in.
Regards,
Caroline

Re: [Koha] Koha SQL report with MARC field
Hi,
The metadata was moved to it's own table some time ago. You will need to
add this line somewhere in the SELECT
ExtractValue(biblio_metadata.metadata, '//datafield[@tag="675"]/subfield[@code="3"]') AS
"Informacija"
And this line between the last LEFT JOIN and the WHERE
LEFT JOIN biblio_metadata USING (biblionumber)
Like this (I added some carriage returns for legibility)
SELECT
items.dateaccessioned AS Pridėjimas,
items.barcode AS Barkodas,
biblio.author AS Autorius,
biblio.title AS Pavadinimas,
biblioitems.publishercode AS Leidykla,
items.copynumber AS Inventorinis,
biblioitems.isbn AS ISBN,
items.itemnotes AS Uzrasai,
items.itype AS Išteklis,
items.homebranch AS Lokacija,
ExtractValue(biblio_metadata.metadata, '//datafield[@tag="675"]/subfield[@code="3"]') AS
"Informacija"
FROM items
LEFT JOIN biblioitems ON (items.biblioitemnumber=biblioitems.biblioitemnumber)
LEFT JOIN biblio ON (biblioitems.biblionumber=biblio.biblionumber)
LEFT JOIN biblio_metadata USING (biblionumber)
WHERE
items.dateaccessioned BETWEEN <> AND <>
ORDER BY items.barcode DESC
(Note: I haven't tested it...)
Good luck!

Re: [Koha] Spine Labels
Hi Charles,
As far as I know, you can add any information that is stored in the
items, biblioitems and biblio tables. In the label layout, there is a
section called 'Bibliographic data to print'. There, you can choose the
'List fields' option and enter a comma separated list of the fields you
want to see on your labels, something like:
ccode_description,itemcallnumber,copyrightdate,enumchron,copynumber.
Each field will be printed on a different line. If you want something to
be printed on the same line, put those between double quotes (" "), for
example: "ccode_description itemcallnumber", copyrightdate, enumchron,
copynumber.
I hope this helps,
Caroline

Hello, all!
My library is preparing to make new spine labels for large parts of its

function. So far, so good.
Our labels will consist of several fields: shelf location (952 ‡8),
call number (952 ‡o), publication year (264 ‡c) after cleanup, volume/part
number (952 ‡h), and copy number (952 ‡t). They'll be laid out in this
order on multiple lines; that is,
I have not found documentation whether Koha can produce labels with the
subfields in addition to the call number.
Is this possible? If so, how so?
If not, we'll run a report with the requisite subfields, download the
output, and lay out the labels through a Word document template.
Many thanks.

Re: [Koha] Error 500 in Staff Catalog when clicking at record.
Hi Shafrizan, Something similar happened at one of my client libraries when they updated from 20.05 to 21.05. The problem was invalid characters/sequences in the record. In their case, it was in the summary field (520$a) and the sequences were something like (3y (B (3z(B The record displayed correctly after we edited the records and changed those sequences. I found the answer in one of the log files, though I can't remember exactly which one... It said something like "PCDATA invalid char value ...".

Re: [Koha] Arrangement of Fields on Items Form
Hi,
It depends on your version of Koha, but in the most recent ones (at
least back to 21.05 which is the one I use), you can drag and drop
subfields to reorder them in the framework.
- Go to Administration > MARC bibliographic framework
- Edit the MARC structure for your framework
- Search for the item field (952 in MARC21, I'm not sure in UNIMARC...
maybe 995 or something like that?)
- Edit the subfields
- Drag and drop the tabs at the top in the order you want
- Save
- Edit an item and confirm the fields are in the chosen order
I just tried it and was able to put $z above $x. It's pretty neat!
I hoe this helps,
Caroline

Hi Naveen,
You could do this with JavaScript added to the IntranetUserJS system

JavaScript, for instance, moves the "non-public note" field from the bottom

$('#subfield952x').parent('li').prependTo('#cataloguing_additem_newitem ol')
If you want to change the order of many of these fields, it would be quite

Re: [Koha] Cataloging question - Electronic resource with no link (MARC21)
Hi Jane, Thanks for your input! You're right that it's closer to a CDROM, since it's available on site rather than online. The record itself is for a paper periodical (genealogy bulletin to be precise, the library is a genealogy society run by volunteers), but one library/branch has a scanned version on a computer. They wanted to be able to indicate that only that 'branch' has those scans, in a way that would be visible and easily understandable by their users. 856 seemed the obvious choice, but the whole thing with it appearing as a link turned us off. Next choice was a 5XX note, but those are hidden in a tab. Not a lot of users would think to click on the Notes/Descriptions tab to see more. After discussing it with the client, we decided (or he decided, at my suggestion) to do exactly what you said, that is to use field 952$z of that library's item to indicate that a scanned copy is available at that library only. That field is very visible and it indicates clearly that the scanned version is at that library only. I hadn't thought of making a entire new record for the scanned version and linking the records through 776. It may have been a way to do it... Thanks again! Caroline On 2022-05-18 16:35, Jane Cothron wrote: It sounds as though you are describing a database on a computer drive that is not actually available or connected through the internet. That means that it will not have a URL, so I would not use an 856 field in the MARC record. It is an electronic resource and the fixed field information should reflect that. I would include a note indicating the extent of the resource and the fact that it is only for use in that specific library. I think this is closer to cataloging a CDROM than a website or remotely available database. I would include a public note in the item record specifying that the resource is only available for in-library use at the owning library. Does this sound reasonable to you?

But as soon as we put something in either $3 or $z, both the staff interface and the OPAC show links (either the text is blue or it shows 'Click here to access...', even if there is nothing in 856$u or $a/$d/$f.

Is it ok to use 856 to indicate that there is an electronic copy of the resource somewhere even if that copy is not on the Web? I think so, but I may be wrong.

Re: [Koha] Very, very beginner question: Followup
Hi there, The answer to the first question is in the system preferences. In order to be able to manually enter author names and subjects, you need to set BiblioAddsAuthorities to 'allow'. As for your second question, I think you mean how to add Z39.50 servers to search. You can do that in Administration > Z39.50/SRU servers. The site https://irspy.indexdata.com/find.html can help you find servers to add. (Authorities in library speak refer to a specific kind of record used for names and subject headings.) As for which servers to add, I wouldn't really know. Maybe university libraries since the texts you seem to catalog seem very specialized. I hope this helps, Caroline On 2022-05-18 14:19, C.S.

Re: [Koha] Cataloging question - Electronic resource with no link (MARC21)
Hi Heather! Thanks so much for your answer! (I was hoping you would answer because you're so knowledgable!) If I understand correctly, $3 is indeed used to specify the library for which the link is used, and it is possible to omit $u (as you said, it dates back to when stuff would maybe be on cdroms). I tried this in Koha 856 40 $3 Local periodical computer and the staff interface and OPAC still showed a link. This may be because of ind1= 4. I tried with different access methods, including ind1 = 7 and 'file' in $2; Koha always shows a link, clickable, but that leads nowhere. I also noticed that in the worldcat example for 'Encyclopedia of children and childhood', what I assume is in the $z (e.g. '(Unlimited Concurrent Users)') is not included in the clickable part of the link. Whereas in Koha, if you put something in $z, it will be clickable. I understand it's a very fringe case that 856 would be used for electronic resources that are not online (no $u). But to me, only $a/$d/$f, $u and $y should be in the clickable part of the link. The rest should be regular text. And if there is no $a/$d/$f or $u, there should be no link at all (not even the 'Click here'). Maybe I will file a bug in bugzilla and see what others say, unless someone else on the mailing list has an opinion. Thank you again!

[Koha] Cataloging question - Electronic resource with no link (MARC21)
Hello everyone! I wanted the community's opinion on this. I have a client who has electronic versions of periodicals, but they are not accessible online. (I'm not sure how it works to get them, but I'm told the files are on a computer at one of the libraries... anyway.) I figured we could use 856$3 and/or 856$z to signify that users can see copies if they go to XYZ library. But as soon as we put something in either $3 or $z, both the staff interface and the OPAC show links (either the text is blue or it shows 'Click here to access...', even if there is nothing in 856$u or $a/$d/$f. The links don't do anything if you click on them. Does that seem like a bug or it's how MARC is supposed to work? Is it ok to use 856 to indicate that there is an electronic copy of the resource somewhere even if that copy is not on the Web? I think so, but I may be wrong. We thought about putting that info in a 5XX somewhere, but those are hidden in the Descriptions/Notes tabs and users might not see the info. Thanks for your help!

Re: [Koha] Very, very beginner question: Followup
Hi there, If you can't find the record in any other Z39.50 catalog, you will indeed need to catalog it from scratch. To create a new record, click on "New record" and choose a cataloging framework (frameworks are cataloging "forms" if you will). There usually is a "Fast Add" option that will only have basic fields. If you are really new at cataloging, you can also copy a record you already have and start from there. In the record, click on Edit > Edit as new (duplicate). This will look as if you're editing the record, but you are in fact creating a copy. That way you can look at what information is in which field and learn what goes where at the same time. If you are cataloging in MARC21, here are the basic fields (other than the aforementioned leader (000), 005 and 008) - ISBN: 020$a - Main author: 100$a (there can only be one main author) - Title: 245$a - Place of publication: 264$a - Publisher: 264$b - Year of publication: 264$c - Number of pages: 300$a - Collection: 490$a - Summary: 520$a - Subject: 650$a (one 650 field per subject, click on the button that looks like two superimposed rectangles to create a new field of the same type, click on that button next to the title of the 650 field) - Secondary authors: 700$a (one 700 field per additional author) - Web link: 856$u If you fill out most of these, you should have simple but very nice and workable records. As long as your users are able to find them, that's the important part. Caroline On 2022-05-13 15:35, Tami Wilkerson wrote: You need to remove the dashes in ISBNs when doing a Z39.50 search.

Re: [Koha] News for member only.
Hi Tony, If you specify a library when writing your news, it won't be visible to unlogged (?) users because Koha can't know which library they belong to. That means that you have to create one news item per branch. It's fine if you have only one or two libraries, but if you have many branches, it can be a pain.

Re: [Koha] Very, very beginner question: Sample MARC record
Hello, There should be a small icon to the right of the leader or control fields (00X) that, if clicked, will help you fill out those fields. If you click in the 005 field, normally it should be filled automatically with the current date and time. Also, if you click on the question mark, it should bring you to that field's documentation on https://loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/ If you're not familiar with cataloging, I recommend reading up on the different fields. Lastly, although I really REALLY don't recommend this for the leader or control fields 005 and 008, you can remove the mandatory flag by going in the MARC frameworks (Administration > MARC bibliographic frameworks > (find framework) > Actions > MARC structure > (find field) > Actions > Edit tag / Edit subfields > uncheck Mandatory > Save) I hope this helps, Caroline On 2022-04-29 13:40, C.S.

Re: [Koha] Multiple IDs or card numbers per user
Hi Andy, I just tried it on Koha 20.05 and it seemed to work? - I added a patron attribute called Additional ID, which is searchable and unique. - I added a value (1234, I know, very original), in one patron account. - In the staff interface, in the search bar at the top, I selected checkout, typed in 1234 and hit enter. It brought me to that one patron. I also tried with a less common value (147852369) and it still brought me to the one patron from the checkout search. I don't think it will work for the self checkout though. That wasn't in your original question, so I thought it was only for checking out from the staff interface.

It should be by default, but it doesn't hurt to check. - In Administration > Koha to MARC mapping - Search for copynumber - Make sure items.copynumber is mapped to 952$t - If not, click Add - In the text box, enter "952,t" (without the quotation marks, just 952,t); the comma is important Changes in Koha to MARC mapping are applied to new records and items only. If you want to print labels for future items, you don't need to do anything further. But if you changed Koha to MARC mapping and need to print labels for existing items, you will need to run batchRebuildItemsTables.pl I hope this helps, Caroline On 2021-11-27 08 h 54, Victor Barroso Oliveira wrote: Hello, I would like to insert the copy number information on the spine label, however when I have to customize the layout with the 952t field I cannot generate the label with the copy number information.

Re: [Koha] Classification rules, manual incomplete, keep hyphens?
Hi Tasha, I confess, I'm the one guilty of that section... I unfortunately never learned LC in school or in work (I've only worked with Dewey), and I tried to read the code for the LC filing routine and didn't understand a word. Ideally someone with knowledge of perl (or whatever language it is written in) and LC should look at the filing rule code and either write the section or tell someone on the docs team how it works so they can write it. As for your 2nd question, I don't think there is a way to create custom filing rules in Koha (unless you do it through coding, if you know how to code, I think pretty much anything is doable). Caroline On 2021-11-23 20 h 26, Bales (US), Tasha R wrote: The section of the Koha manual that describes classification filing rules appears to be missing a section. The portion that describes the respective rules for Dewey, generic, LCC, ends abruptly when it gets to LCC, as follows: "The LCC filing routine generates a sorted call number by following these rules: " [no rules are given] See, https://koha-community.org/manual/21.05/en/html/administration.html?highlight=classification#classification-filing-rules Anyone know what text goes there? Also, has anyone created custom filing rules? Although I can create a new classification source, it looks like a new source can only be an amalgamation of the existing filing and splitting rules. What I really need is something that does not remove hyphens. I'm having a heck of time getting numbers like this to sort correctly (they just don't): 1F-15A-1 1F-15A-01 (I'd expect this to be first) 1F-15A-1CL-1 1F-15A-06 (This should go after "-01") 1F-15A-6 1F-15A-6CF-1 1F-15A-17 1F-15A-21 1F-15A-4-6 (I'd really like to see this before "-6") The above is how they sort in the OPAC using an ascending "Call number" sort. Assuming all hyphens are stripped out, I can't make sense of the sort. However, I did notice that despite all of these items having classification scheme set to "generic", the "Other/Generic Classification Scheme" in Koha Administration, Classification sources, showed that the "In use" value for that scheme was "No". I changed it to "Yes", but am not sure what to expect after having done so.

Re: [Koha] Reason to define Koha item type in 942
Hello! I'd like to add to Indranil's explanation. 952$y is mandatory for circulation IF item-level_itypes is set to "specific item". Otherwise, 942$c is used as the item type for circulation. Another thing that I have observed about 942$c is that it is indexed for the search in the same way as 952$y. So if you have records without items (for journal articles, websites or ebooks for example), these will still be searchable through the item type filter. Also, if 942$c and 952$y are not the same in one record (for example, 942$c is Book and 952$y is Reference), they will show in the results of a search for either type. I'm making a note to compile all our comments to add into the manual, since that's where you searched for the information first. https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=29252 Best regards, Caroline On 2021-10-15 10 h 02, Indranil Das Gupta wrote: Hi Tasha, 942$c - defines the type of material the bibliographic record represents, sort of like it's GMD (general material description).

Re: [Koha] Open Ended Due Dates, Permanent Loans, Etc.
Hi Charles, Maybe you could do something like that with automatic renewals? In circulation rules, you could have a "regular" loan period, but many renewals, e.g. 99. Set up automatic renewals. Koha will renew automatically, as long as the item is not on hold, the patron's membership is not expired, etc. Caroline On 2021-09-15 21 h 37, Charles Kelley wrote: Hi, all! Is there a way to make an open ended due date? That is, if a person checks out a book, Koha does not assign a due date, *per se*, rather it merely marks it checked-out. I guess this be might be considered a permanent or semi-permanent loan but it would not be a transfer. Mind you, if a patron puts a hold on such a book, the patron who checked out the book would have to surrender it. The book would still be one of the library's holdings so that the library can avail it to the patrons and track it for property management reasons. (The OPAC would list it only *CHECKED OUT* or *BORROWED*.) Mind you, I am trying to avoid a proliferation and plethora of LOCs and CCODEs. I know this is a nightmare and it defeats the purpose of a library of shareable works. It would be rarely used, of course, but I can imagine a scenario in which it would arise. Many thanks, all!

Re: [Koha] Batch edit to control fields?
There is a particularity with substring and control fields in SQL.
The difference has to do with the starting character of the substring,
i.e. the 33 in the following sequence
SUBSTRING(ExtractValue(metadata,'//controlfield[@tag=008]'),33,1)
MARC starts counting at 1, whereas SQL starts counting at 0. Or it might be the
reverse, I don't remember exactly. Anyway, the thing is that you can't use the
MARC character position (in this case 33 because you're looking for 008/33),
directly in the substring statement. You have to add 1.
So to look for 008/33 you have to use
SUBSTRING(ExtractValue(metadata,'//controlfield[@tag=008]'),34,1)
to look for 008/15-17, like in the example in the link I sent, you have to use
SUBSTRING(ExtractValue(metadata,'//controlfield[@tag=008]'),16,3)
Does that make sense?

Re: [Koha] [koha] Authorized value for category_types
Hello James! You can look at the SQL library on the Koha wiki. In the first sections, there is one about runtime parameters that explains it very well. https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library#Runtime_Parameters I think there are a couple of options you can use. 1) Create your own authorized values list As it is possible to use any authorized values list as runtime parameter, you can create an AV list just for this report. Since the codes aren't likely to change, this could be a good option. - Go to Administration > Authorized values - Click on New category - Create a code for your category (e.g. BORCAT) - Click on New authorized value for XX - Add the authorized values for the category types, for example Authorized value = A Description = Adult The other category types are C = Child I = Organization P = Professional S = Staff X = Statistical (see https://koha-community.org/manual/latest/en/html/faq.html#patron-categories-table) - In your report, add the runtime parameter just like you would for itemtypes for example WHERE category_type = <> I just tried it in 20.05 and it works. 2) Add a simple text field as runtime parameter I think this was Owen's suggestion. - In your report, add a runtime parameter without av list, for example WHERE category_type = <> - As previously mentioned, users will have to know the specific codes to enter in the field (A, C, I, P, S or X), otherwise the report will not give any results. - As of version 21.05, there is an option to make a text field a text area for several values https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=27380 Regards, Caroline On 2021-08-12 10 h 30, muiru james wrote: Hi Owen and All, Thank you for your quick reply and very good advice.

I don't think there's any way to get an SQL report to generate a set of options based on these values. It would be nice if one could supply a set of user-defined options in a runtime parameter, e.g. <> but that would be complicated for users.

https://inlibro.com/knowledge-base/impossible-de-supprimer-une-grille-de-catalogage/
If you have access to the database, you can try an update, something like:
UPDATE biblio SET frameworkcode = "" where frameworkcode IN

I hope this helps,

[Koha] Getting guarantor information in notices
Hello dear community! I'm wondering if it's possible to access guarantor information for notices? We recently upgraded our Kohas to 20.05 from 19.05. One of the notices goes like this <> <> [% IF borrower.guarantorid %] C/O [% borrower.contactfirstname %] [% borrower.contactname %][% END %] <> <> <> (<>) <> The second line is if the patron has a guarantor, write Care of (C/O) the guarantor's name. This is for Overdues notices sent by mail to patrons. It is not logical for us to send overdue notices to children, so we write Care of the parent. In 20.05, the database structure changed to accommodate multiple guarantors per guarantee. Does anyone know if there is a way to access the guarantor information in notices? I'm not very familiar with TT syntax so I have no idea how to indicate this "borrower" is the guarantee and this other "borrower" is the guarantor... Thank you so much!

[Koha] KohaCon21 hosting organization announced!
Hello dear Koha Community! Today at the General meeting, it was announced that the Koha Pakistan Community and the National Library of Pakistan will be hosting KohaCon21! The proposed dates for the conference are November 14 to 30, 2021 and will be organized as a hybrid in-person/online conference. For those who are able to travel, the in-person conference will be held at the National Library of Pakistan, in Islamabad. The Pakistani community has a lot of experience in organizing conferences as they have been organizing Open Source Summits and Koha Conferences for the past several years with great success. I'm sure KohaCon21 will not be an exception! You can find all the information about their proposal on the Koha wiki : https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon21_Proposals#Hosting_organization The Koha Pakistan Community will keep us updated on the details in the upcoming months. Thank you all! Caroline -- Caroline Cyr La Rose, M.L.I.S.

[Koha] Koha wiki update/replacement
Hello Koha community! There has been discussion about updating or replacing the wiki (https://wiki.koha-community.org). The software behind the current wiki is out of date and we need to upgrade it. Or we could replace it with something more lightweight or more user-friendly. The current wiki is a gold mine of information, but that good information is hard to find. This email is an attempt to start a conversation about the best plan of action to upgrade our wiki. The main argument for changing is that the MediaWiki version we are using is obsolete. - Should we continue with a more recent version of MediaWiki or change the software? It has been argued that maybe MediaWiki is a bit to complex for our needs. DokuWiki (https://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuwiki) was cited as an option, but it's apparently too light and one needs to learn the special syntax. - If we change the software, do you have a suggestion? Some have suggested that we simply archive the current wiki and start fresh with a new one. - Would you be in favor of starting over? I'm sure I'm forgetting things, but my hope is only to get the ball rolling and that this project does not fall in the cracks once again. If you have any suggestion, comment, or concern about this project, please voice them by replying to this email. If you'd rather discuss "live" about this issue, the wiki question is often on the Development IRC meetings agenda. Next meeting is on March 24, 2021 at 20 UTC https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Development_IRC_meeting_24_March_2021 Thank you for your input! Caroline -- Caroline Cyr La Rose, M.L.I.S.

Re: [Koha] Framework ACQ causes mutilated special characters
Hi Michael, Unfortunately, I don't remember which library had this problem (I work for a company that supports over 40 libraries), so I'm not sure I could find the framework again to export it. However, I did find the bug report that I filled way back when I had this problem. https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23675 You can read what I did (I mention a default value, maybe that's the crux of the problem).

This was my first idea as well but unfortunately it didn't change the behavior. Also field 000 isn't shown in the section "Catalog details" when creating a new order. But it is shown when opening Koha menu "Administration > MARC frameworks > ACQ". When opening the record with framework ACQ no field 000 is shown. When opening the record with standard framework (what happens when showing the cataloging view directly after creating an order) field 000 is there with correct value "a" in position 9. But in both cases special characters in MARC 245 $a are mutilated. May I ask you to export and send me the CSV file of framework ACQ you have created? Maybe there is some difference in our frameworks. Best wishes: Michael -- Caroline Cyr La Rose, M.S.I.

Re: [Koha] Framework ACQ causes mutilated special characters
Hi Michael, When I had this problem, had to do with the leader (field 000) the the ACQ framework. The leader (position 9) indicates the character encoding. If it's not there, Koha freaks out and mangles the special characters. So to solve your problem, add field 000 in your ACQ framework. Regards, Caroline On 21-02-03 15 h 46, Michael Kuhn wrote: Hi We have tested the following with Koha 18.11.03 and 20.11.00, both on Debian 9. We are using framework ACQ (downloaded from https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/MARC_frameworks ) and have activated Koha system preference "UseACQFrameworkForBiblioRecords". In Koha menu "Acquisitions > Vendor > New basket > Add order to basket: From a new (empty) record" we can see the MARC fields from framework ACQ. Now if we enter for example "Mäuse und Vögel" in MARC 245 $a an order is created which shows the correct title "Mäuse und Vögel" in column "Order". But when clicking this title to open the cataloging view we see the title is actually mutilated to "Mũse und Vg̲el".

Re: [Koha] Add 4 days to <>
Hi Christopher, What I would do in that situation is check in the item, if there is a hold, click "Ignore", put the item in quarantine, when it gets out of quarantine, check it in again and confirm the hold. That way, the item is removed from the previous patron's file, but no email is sent out right away. Otherwise, I don't think it's possible to change the waiting date. Best regards, Caroline On 20-12-07 11 h 31, Chris Davis wrote: Dear Colleagues, At present, when an item is checked back into our library branch, Koha sends out hold-available notices to our patron who have a hold on that item.

[Koha] Bidding open for KohaCon21 hosts!
Hello dear Koha community, This "special" year is coming to an end. It's time to turn our attention to the new year that's coming up, full of possibilities! Catalyst IT and their partners did a great job offering us a hybrid KohaCon this year, where people in COVID-free New Zealand could attend in person and people outside New Zealand could still attend from their homes or offices across the world through streaming. Videos of all talks are available on the community's Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/KohaILS. It was proposed that we continue this tradition even in a(n eventually) COVID-free world so that everyone can attend and learn from each other no matter their availability, ability to travel, or budget. If you or your organization would like to organize KohaCon21, please enter all relevant information on this wiki page : https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon21_Proposals (if you do not already have an account to edit the wiki, you can request one, it is usually pretty fast to get your access). Know that the community stands behind anyone who volunteers to organize and that help is always available if you're unsure how to proceed. Call for proposals will end on January 15, 2021 at 23:50 UTC. If there is more than one proposal, we will organize a vote, which will be announced on this mailing list. In the mean time, I wish you all a happy new year (and end of year holidays if you celebrate them)! Best regards, Caroline Cyr La Rose -- Caroline Cyr La Rose, M.L.I.S.

The spine labels use the information of the item, such as the call number, location, branch, etc. These will print in the language they are in.

Re: [Koha] Mapping Authority & Bibliographic Records
Hi, Maybe someone else on the list can contradict me, but I don't think that is possible. Authority fields are only copied in matching biblio fields (eg. in MARC 21, authority 100 fields are copied into biblio fields 100, 600, 700 or 800). Since 082 is outside those, it won't be copied.

Needing to use Italian, I did run into some issues in the provided sql which I had to tweak in order to get the install to correctly finish without violating not null constraints (on the 307 record in the marc_subfield_structure). So now I've got an up and running installation which I'm trying out, but one thing which I cannot work out. After adding a Unimarc record, I'm on the editor for adding items. There's a field 995 r "Type of item and material" (or in my version "Tipo della copia e materiale". This is a free input text field, not a drop down menu limited to a list of predefined values. In the Italian translation this field did not have any "authorised_value" in the table marc_subfield_structure. I've modified with the value itemtypes. However for some reason this does not seem to make the field into a drop down menu in the staff GUI. So my question to more experienced users are: after changing the "authorised_value" do I need to run a script or restart something in order to get the free text field to change into a drop down menu?

Re: [Koha] Frameworks and Their Purpose
Hi Charles, Frameworks are cataloguing "forms". You can use many different ones or just the default one. The advantage of using different ones is that you can show different MARC fields and add default values. For example, you can have one 'Book' framework, where you would show 020 (ISBN), and put the default rda material/support/media codes for printed material in 336, 337 and 338. And you can have a 'DVD' framework, where you would show 024 (CUP), but not 020 and put the default rda material/support/media codes for projected visual in 336, 337 and 338.

Many thanks. -- Caroline Cyr La Rose, M.L.I.S.

[Koha] Documentation Team, where you at?
Hi Everyone! The vote for roles for the 20.11 cycle is happening tomorrow May 13 (or later today, if you live in the future a.k.a. Oceania). But no one signed up for the Documentation Team... :( Joining the Documentation Team is a great way for librarians and Koha end-users to get involved in the Koha Community as it doesn't require any programming knowledge. It's also a great way to learn about new features! If you are unsure how to contribute, there is information on the wiki https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Editing_the_Koha_Manual and there is also a virtual hackfest presentation https://bywatersolutions.com/education/koha-virtual-hackfest-documentation Also, if you're afraid that signing up for the team is too big a commitment, don't worry about it. There is no quota or anything! Even if you contribute only casually, you can still be part of the team. The Documentation Team meets once a month over IRC to discuss progress and set priorities for the month. If you're not sure if you're interested, you can come and observe a meeting to see how it goes. The IRC channel can be found here https://koha-community.org/get-involved/irc/ and the next Documentation meeting is on June 4 at 19 UTC https://koha-community.org/calendar/ If you want to sign up, go to https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Roles_for_20.11 and add your name. I hope to see you there! Caroline -- Caroline Cyr La Rose, M.L.I.S.
