Thanks to all for your patience, summary of my "reproducible upgrade" is that under some | [perhaps] exceptional conditions 'cleanup_database.pl' does upgrade the Koha version. Under what might be called "normal" conditions, absolutely everything is as expected with no problems.

biblio and biblioitems
by Mathieu Saby 03 May '13

03 May '13

Hello Could you tell me if there is some reason for keeping bibliographic information in 2 tables (biblio / biblioitems). I don't see any case where 1 biblionumber could match more than 1 biblioitemnumber. Maybe it is an heritage of the first versions of Koha? M.

biblio records causing "previous transaction didn't reach commit" in zebra
by Gaetan Boisson 03 May '13

03 May '13

Hello all, we are migrating some csv data to marc21 and a small percentage of the resulting records are giving this error in zebra when we try indexing them. I have been looking at them toroughly and am failing to see what could possibly cause this, especially when i compare them to records that did work. I'm enclosing a couple here in case you want to have a look and might have an idea... It is for a Kurdish university so you'll find a lot of unusual characters in there, but we have these in records that work out too. The U+200 characters are here to set the context properly for the script direction. They are superfluous quite often, but they also don't hurt and are present in data that gets indexed properly. Thanks for your input ! -- Gaetan Boisson Chef de projet bibliothécaire BibLibre 06 52 42 51 29 108 avenue Breteuil 13006 Marseille gaetan.boisson(a)biblibre.com

03 May '13

Hi, several librarians have expressed that the Top Most-Circulated items report only counts items that have been checkd-in already. I confirmed this as the code clearly queries old_issues only. My question would be: is this a bug? I belive so, but wanted to collect your thoghts on this before filling a bug and working on a patch for it. Regards To+

Search by author in koha 3.10
by Hend Eleraky 02 May '13

02 May '13

Hello all, I'm using koha 3.10 with Solr Indexing. I had faced a problem while trying to click on author name in search results I got the following error : Http Error : 404 undefined author. I had made a solution and I would like to discuss it with you. I had changed "/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=author:[% SEARCH_RESULT.author |url %] to "/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?idx=au&q=[% SEARCH_RESULT.author |url %] in results.tt. After this change I could get bib records related to the selected author. Thanks, Hend Eleraky
