[Bug 252] Add category page titled add authorised value
by bugzilla-daemon＠wilbur.katipo.co.nz 17 Apr '03

http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=252 Ilacis(a)chillco.com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Severity|minor |enhancement ------- Additional Comments From Ilacis(a)chillco.com 2003-04-18 09:59 ------- Upon further testing I've discovered this is not quite a bug but it's unclear - I would prefer that when you click the New Category link it says Add New Category. What happens is that you add a new category - say Wings if your library has a Children's Wing, an Arts Wing, a Sceince Wing. The category would be Wings - then the first authorized value would be Children's which you add when you create the new category. Then if there are additonal Wings you would add those by clicking on the Add Authorised value icon. I am writing this for any one else who was not clear on what this was or how it worked. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.

Re: [Koha-devel] [IMPORTANT] MARC21 - Homebranch and holdbranch mapping
by Ingrid Lacis 17 Apr '03

17 Apr '03

Thank you all for responding to my question. I was able to solve my problem once I changed the tags from ignore to 10. What had gotten me confused was that I had looked at the Wiki http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/wiki/index.php?page=UserDoc and there it said "Note that all 'items' related subfields MUST be mapped to the specific tab items, and thus are all in the same tab." So since Koha told me that itemnum must have the -1(ignore) tab I put all the item tabs at -1. Was the tab mentioned in the Wiki really supposed to be tag? Now Al Calame wrote: "in MARC21, there is an appropriate place to map these two items, namely 852#a for home branch(central library holding symbol) and 852#b for holding branch (holdingsymbol for the branch that holds the particular copy). " But to use location area (852) as the place for the home and holding branches I would have to then move the items.barcode, items.dateaccessioned, items.notforloan, items.itemnumber, and items.itemnotes to the 852 tag also? > >paul POULAIN wrote: > >>WARNING, WARNING, WARNING : >>ALL subfields connected to "items.*" koha table MUST be in the same tag. >>It's somewhat logic : the biblio is unique, and you have many items that >>are located in differents branches.

Boolean searching
by Owen Leonard 17 Apr '03

17 Apr '03

I was poking around Bugzilla, trying to familiarize myself with it when I ran across this one: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193 One of the comments mentions that boolean searching is not implemented. What is the status of that? How does the search function currently handle multiple inputs? -- Owen ---- Web Developer Nelsonville Public Library http://www.athenscounty.lib.oh.us

MARC21 - Homebranch and holdbranch mapping
by Ingrid Lacis 17 Apr '03

17 Apr '03

I tried figuring this out myself and reading previous postings on this subject but --- Koha tells me (MARCcheck) that for MARC21 homebranch and holdingbranch are not mapped. That I must have both mapped to a MARC subfield and the corresponding subfield must have authorised value= branches. In MARC subfield structure admin for 995 I have c holdingbranch items.holdingbranch Yes No -1 branches d homebranch items.homebranch Yes No -1 branches What am I doing wrong? _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus

Newbie here...
by Dave Thorne 17 Apr '03

Hello there everyone, As a developer working for a school in the UK who are interested in using the Koha system to manage their library I have added myself to this list. I've had a small look around the system and I'm impressed (as I imagine our librarian will be when she returns from the Easter break). I do however have quite a few suggestions and bugs to point out (I'm running version 1.2.3) and I was wondering whether or not to send them all through Bugzilla. How active and useful is it? I'm also interested in helping upgrading the HTML used to conform to HTML 4 and CSS standards (though I have no problem with XHTML1.0 Transitional and CSS2). Who sould I talk to about joining in? :o) Dave Thorne _________________________________________________________________ On the move? Get Hotmail on your mobile phone http://www.msn.co.uk/mobile

[Bug 366] New: Thesaurus value builder search & add doesn't work

Hi Pate, >grab an account at sourceforge and let me know the username, but you'll >really want to look at the pre-2.0 stuff before you jump in. It's all >template driven, and significantly different from the 1.2.X stuff. As all good developers, I already have a SF account, it is 'mmmbena1' (that's the numeral one at the end not an 'L'). As for the 1.9.x, I'll take a look and see what's there. Cheers Dave Thorne _________________________________________________________________ On the move?
