Re: [Koha] Restrict access

Creating different hierarchies for the cataloged material and assigning each user permission to access and query (in the case of downloading material of the digital type) may not make much sense in public libraries. However, it is very common in business libraries. Would anyone know a way to implem

[Koha] How to import loans data into Koha?

Gentle Reader, We are migrating records from a few small community libraries (currently held as a fancy spreadsheet) into Koha 17.05. I have figured out how to migrate the biblio records, items and patron data but I was wondering if there is a way to import data on current issues (loans)? All we

Re: [Koha] batch forgive fines

Hi Scott, at the moment there is no feature for batch editing fines available and it would be a tricky one I think. What you could do: Write a report that gives you all patrons that have 2.50 and less and include a link directly to the fines tab that opens in a new tab/window. Then you can q

[Koha] batch forgive fines

Hi all, One of my people asked ... "Can we batch forgive fines $2.50 and less? (Anything larger is a lost book fee, and I want those to stay) That way everyone will start out at $0. (If it's something I can do, I'm happy to, I didn't see it when I was snooping around) I saw where I could batch

Re: [Koha] Import holds?

Just to add a +1 to your idea of doing it manually if you don't have many. Not only do you need to construct the holds but get them in the right order and handle copies that have been chosen to satisfy a hold but not picked up. On 15/08/2017 13:55, Mark Alexander wrote: Excerpts from Katrin F

Re: [Koha] Import holds?

If you don't have a lot of holds reentering might be the best solution. Hope your migration goes well! Katrin On 15.08.2017 14:55, Mark Alexander wrote: Excerpts from Katrin Fischer's message of 2017-08-15 12:47:45 +0200: holds information is stored differently in every ILS and at the moment

Re: [Koha] Koha Perl script for re-indexing

Hi Admire, I think you could maybe write a plugin to achieve this, but at the same time I would strongly recommend figuring out the source of your problem as this should not be necessary. Could it be that the permissions on the index files are not correct? I notice you are using the rebulid_ze

Re: [Koha] Restrict access

I wouldn't propose such a thing! What I meant is a permissions checking layer for UploadedFile(s), be it borrower category-wise or similar. El mar., 15 ago. 2017 a las 9:20, Marcel de Rooy () escribió: > Not sure if muffling AgeRestriction into UploadedFiles is a good idea. A > solution to restri

Re: [Koha] Restrict access

Not sure if muffling AgeRestriction into UploadedFiles is a good idea. A solution to restrict access to uploads for selected users should be broader than that imo. Marcel ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz https://

That'd be an interesting feature for someone to sponsor. It would require doing permission checks in Koha::UploadedFile(s). El mar., 15 de ago. de 2017 7:26 AM, Katrin escribió: > Hi, > > using Agerestriction is a good idea, but at the moment it will only > prevent Circulation. Koha doesn't hav

Re: [Koha] Import holds?

Hi Mark, holds information is stored differently in every ILS and at the moment there exists no generic tool to import holds into Koha. For a migration you could try to map the data you get out of Mandarin to the columns in Koha's reserves table and then use a script or SQL to fill it. It can

Re: [Koha] Restrict access

Hi, using Agerestriction is a good idea, but at the moment it will only prevent Circulation. Koha doesn't have a mechanism to control access to linked files. As Eric pointed out there are several problems to consider there and it will require an external solution to Koha. Hope that helps, K
