MARCEdit Error
by Roche III, Edward 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Has anyone that is using MarcEdit ever received an Error Number: -99 when trying to use the MarcMaker option? It worked the first time I used it but now it isn't working and keeps giving me this error. The export my catalog the same way as the first time. Any ideas? Thanks Ed Edward J.

Clarify timeout syspref?
by Wagner, Jane 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Can someone clarify the timeout system preference? In the 3.0.x manual site, it says Inactivity timeout for cookies authentication (in seconds). This preference applies to both the staff client and the OPAC. Default Value: 12000000 If I'm doing the math right, the default value translates to an extremely large number of hours. Is seconds right for this value? Or should it be milliseconds? If seconds is correct, can someone give me background on why the default is so large, and why the manual says it shouldn't be changed after installation? I don't want to make changes here until I'm sure of what it's doing. Thanks much! Jane Wagner Library Systems Analyst PTFS Inc.

MARC fields order
by Eric Bégin 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Hi, I do have an Koha installation that has a strange problem. The MARC Fields are not numerically ordered. For example, here are my 500s fields: 504 - BIBLIOGRAPHY, ETC. NOTE + - 508 - CREATION/PRODUCTION CREDITS NOTE + - 521 - TARGET AUDIENCE NOTE + - 522 - GEOGRAPHIC COVERAGE NOTE + - 524 - PREFERRED CITATION OF DESCRIBED MATERIALS NOTE + - 530 - ADDITIONAL PHYSICAL FORM AVAILABLE NOTE + - 533 - REPRODUCTION NOTE + - 538 - SYSTEM DETAILS NOTE + - 541 - IMMEDIATE SOURCE OF ACQUISITION NOTE + - 546 - LANGUAGE NOTE + - 555 - CUMULATIVE INDEX/FINDING AIDS NOTE + - 556 - INFORMATION ABOUT DOCUMENTATION NOTE + - 562 - COPY AND VERSION IDENTIFICATION NOTE + - 563 - BINDING INFORMATION + - 583 - ACTION NOTE + - 585 - EXHIBITIONS NOTE + - 586 - AWARDS NOTE + - 500 - GENERAL NOTE + - 501 - WITH NOTE + - 505 - FORMATTED CONTENTS NOTE + - 511 - PARTICIPANT OR PERFORMER NOTE + - 518 - DATE/TIME AND PLACE OF AN EVENT NOTE + - 520 - SUMMARY, ETC. + - 526 - STUDY PROGRAM INFORMATION NOTE - As you can see, the 500 field has a lot of other fields before it. As far as I can tell, this problem appeared without any change is the database. Anybody know how those fields are sorted? Could this be related to YUI? Any clue about this problem? This installation is using v3.0. Merci, Danke, Thanks, Gracias :) Eric

Various encoding
by Eric Bégin 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

Hi there, My database currently contains 2 type of encoding for the same characters. For example, I have Québec encoded as QueÌbec and another as QuÃ©bec. The problem was probably related to the import of records from 2.2.9 vs the one imported through z39.50. Can anybody suggests a way to fix that inconsistency? Thanks, Eric
