Re: [Koha] Capturing a "consent" field for new patrons

[Barton Chittenden]

Chris,

I would suggest using extended patron attributes for this.

Start by making sure the ExtendedPatronAttribute syspref is enabled --
see
https://koha-community.org/manual/18.05/en/html/02_administration.html#extendedpatronattributes

Then set up Patron Attribute Types in administration:

https://koha-community.org/manual/18.05/en/html/02_administration.html#patron-attribute-types-label

You can set this up with the YesNo authorized value.

[Koha] Capturing a "consent" field for new patrons

[Chris Brown]

Gentle Reader,

We need to capture an email "consent" field when we add new patrons to
Koha. Currently my solution is to have staff type "yes" or "no" into the
borrowernotes field  but what I would really like is to have "yes" and "no"
radio buttons, or failing that a drop-down with "yes" and "no" as the only
options. And it would be really good if the field was labelled "email
consent" on the patron entry form.

Any suggestions gratefully received!

Best Regards,

Chris Brown

[Koha] Strange search results for authority searches

[Indranil Das Gupta]

Hi,

On a 17.11.03, I'm seeing something odd on the OPAC's authority search.
*any* search string seems to retrieve the entire set of authority records
in the db so far.

The error reminds me of the typical problem of all data being fetched when
someone searches for non Latin scripts without setting up ICU

Any tips on how I should try to troubleshoot?

It's possible that something changed with your organization's
firewall. Do Z39.50 searches of other institutions fail?

It's also just as likely that the Library of Congress' Z39.50 server
was down for a while.

Greetings, all,

I want to make some changes/additional options to the search menus in 
masthead.inc and 
opac-advsearch.tt.
 For example, I'd like to limit the subject field to only 650$a and add 
separate fields for $651a and $656$a. Also, I'd like to add search options for 
190$a and 253$a.*

I went into Keyword to MARC mapping and created fields mapped to a single MARC 
subfield, for example, mesh** is mapped to 650a. Then I added the line
   MeSH Term
to my search. That doesn't work-the search comes up empty.

Can someone point me in the right direction? I've looked in the wiki and the 
documentation and I haven't found anything.

I'm using Koha 17.11 and Ubuntu 16.04.

Thanks,

*Those fields don't exist? They do in my catalog. See 
http://medstarauthors.org.
**Medical subject heading, in case you were wondering.
