Z3950 problems in 2.0pre5
by T & J Kotula 19 Nov '03

19 Nov '03

Hi Can someone help me to get z3950 going? I'm running koha2.0pre5 on RH8. Unfortunatly I'm not an expert (hence I'm kindly asking for help), but I will try whatever suggestions someone might have. 1. There are no reported problems when I run z3950-daemon-launch.sh. 2. However when I type an ISBN into acqui.simple/addbooks.pl and hit "Go", followed by "Add New Biblio" followed by "z3950 search", koha continually reports "still ?? requestes to go". 3. .../koha/log/z3950-daemon-xxxx-xx.log fills up with : DBD::mysql::st execute failed: No Database Selected at /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/processz3950queue line 57. DBD::mysql::st fetchrow failed: fetch() without execute() at /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/processz3950queue line 58. 4. .../koha/log/koha-error.log fills up with: [error] search.pl : / / / 12456789 at /usr/local/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/z3950/search.pl line 52. [error] NO RANDOM at /usr/local/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/z3950/search.pl line 59. [error] ADD ISBN 12456789 at /usr/local/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/z3950/search.pl line 61.

Re: [Koha-devel] patch for multiple subjects

> This is bug 380 on bugs.koha.org and there exists > a patch there for it > (and a couple of other minor errors). Holy duplicated contributions, Batman! I wonder if there's something we should be doing to prevent this from happening again? I guess a Bugzilla check was in order, but a search for 'subject' turns up Zarro Boogs, so I'm giving Chris the benefit of the doubt here. Since patches are kind of a grey area (particularly for people who don't get every bug report), maybe we need to publicize any patches we contribute here on the list? And why couldn't we get duplicate fixes for Bug 605? ;) -- Owen

patch for multiple subjects
by Chris Michalak 18 Nov '03

18 Nov '03

There appears to be a bug in Koha 2.0.0pre4 (and pre5) when handling multiple subjects. The code is designed to handle multiple subjects per biblio (hence the use of an entirely seperate table) but there is a small bug in the code which prevents all but the last subject from being added to the bibliosubject table. Well actually, to be more accurate all the subjects are added, but all but the last are subsequently deleted. Anyways, instead of going on and on about it, why don't I just give you the simple patch! Thanks for all the hard work Koha developers. *** Biblio.pm.bak 2003-11-17 21:45:33.000000000 -0800 --- Biblio.pm 2003-11-17 22:28:56.000000000 -0800 *************** *** 1261,1272 **** ($tagfield,$tagsubfield) = MARCfind_marc_from_kohafield($dbh,"bibliosubject.subject"); my @subj = $record->field($tagfield); foreach my $subject (@subj) { my @subjsubfield = $subject->subfield($tagsubfield); - my @subjects; foreach my $subfieldcount (0..$#subjsubfield) { push @subjects,$subjsubfield[$subfieldcount]; } - OLDmodsubject($dbh,$oldbibnum,1,@subjects); } # we must add bibnum and bibitemnum in MARC::Record... # we build the new field with biblionumber and biblioitemnumber --- 1261,1272 ---- ($tagfield,$tagsubfield) = MARCfind_marc_from_kohafield($dbh,"bibliosubject.subject"); my @subj = $record->field($tagfield); + my @subjects; foreach my $subject (@subj) { my @subjsubfield = $subject->subfield($tagsubfield); foreach my $subfieldcount (0..$#subjsubfield) { push @subjects,$subjsubfield[$subfieldcount]; } } + OLDmodsubject($dbh,$oldbibnum,1,@subjects); # we must add bibnum and bibitemnum in MARC::Record... # we build the new field with biblionumber and biblioitemnumber *************** *** 1321,1332 **** ($tagfield,$tagsubfield) = MARCfind_marc_from_kohafield($dbh,"bibliosubject.subject"); my @subj = $record->field($tagfield); foreach my $subject (@subj) { my @subjsubfield = $subject->subfield($tagsubfield); - my @subjects; foreach my $subfieldcount (0..$#subjsubfield) { push @subjects,$subjsubfield[$subfieldcount]; } - OLDmodsubject($dbh,$oldbiblionumber,1,@subjects); } return 1; } --- 1321,1332 ---- ($tagfield,$tagsubfield) = MARCfind_marc_from_kohafield($dbh,"bibliosubject.subject"); my @subj = $record->field($tagfield); + my @subjects; foreach my $subject (@subj) { my @subjsubfield = $subject->subfield($tagsubfield); foreach my $subfieldcount (0..$#subjsubfield) { push @subjects,$subjsubfield[$subfieldcount]; } } + OLDmodsubject($dbh,$oldbiblionumber,1,@subjects); return 1; }

ISBN Search
by Owen Leonard 17 Nov '03

17 Nov '03

This snippet is in catalogue-home.tmpl:  If I un-comment it and try to search for an ISBN I get an error: Doing a precise search DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Query was empty at /usr/local/koha/intranet/modules/C4/Search.pm line 982. Query was empty at /usr/local/koha/intranet/modules/C4/Search.pm line 982. Is this to be expected? -- Owen ---- Nelsonville Public Library Koha 2.0.0-pre-x (CVS)

orphan files?
by Owen Leonard 17 Nov '03

I can only find reference to cmsdsearchresults.tmpl in searchheader.tmpl and vice versa. Does that mean they can be safely ignored/removed? -- Owen ---- Nelsonville Public Library Koha 2.0.0-pre-x (CVS)

If you want a template that doesn't depend on javascript, you have few choices: you can write your own template that doesn't depend on javascript, you can commission someone else to write it for you, or you can file an enhancement request and hope that someone else does it for you. -- Owen
