952 $6 subfield question
by Cab Vinton 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Hi, All -- We're using Terry Reese's new MarcEdit plugin to update records in Koha and I'm unclear on how we should be handling the 952 $6 subfield (normalized classification for sorting). Further info about the plugin here: http://people.oregonstate.edu/~reeset/blog/archives/1135 Specifically, if we update the 952 $o (call number) using the plugin, will the $6 be automatically updated? For example, when correcting records we could do any of the following: 1. $6A_FIC_RU$oA FIC RUN -- leave incorrect $6 and update $o only 2. $6A_FIC_RUN$oA FIC RUN -- fix both incorrect $6 and incorrect $o 3. $oA FIC RUN -- delete incorrect $6 and update $o Any thoughts on which of these approaches is preferable? 1 and 3 assume that Koha will update $6 based on the new data in $o. Thank you, Cab Vinton, Director Sanbornton Public Library Sanbornton, NH Life is short. Read fast!

by Samuel desseaux 02 Jan '13

02 Jan '13

Hi, I try to use koha as cms, in waiting for our new website. I've followed these links http://manual.koha-community.org/3.8/en/kohacms.html and http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_as_a_CMS I've no error but the content can't be displayed. What i don't understand is "pages.tmpl". In /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/prog/fr-FR/modules , i've only pages.tt. Do i have to change tt in tmpl? Permissions, user and group are ok. Best regards samuel

Require only core modules for Makefile.PL? (was Re: Database updates)

Hi, On Thu, Dec 27, 2012 at 9:03 AM, Jared Camins-Esakov < jcamins(a)cpbibliography.com> wrote: > Additionally, you will need to install File::Find::Rule > ... before one can run perl Makefile.PL to do a new installation. I don't think that (in this case, indirectly) requiring a non-core Perl module to run the first step of the installation after unpacking the tarball is a good idea. I've opened bug 9328 to discuss the specifics, but I think there's a minor coding principle to discuss: should we have an explicit requirement that only core modules be necessary to start the installation?

Trouble with author impotr in 3.6
by asholok 28 Dec '12

28 Dec '12

I have a problem with db impot in koha(3.6). Troble in uncorrect filling 100$a author subfield. A biblio.author of 3.6 works differently(when I manually create a book) as in 3.4, it's create some kind datecode and then recording author(20121007 frey50 | Akunin B). But when I have making import system create only datecode ( for ex. 20121007 frey50) and no info about the author. In earlier version (3.4) import was and everything worked grate. -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Trouble-with-author-impotr-in-3-6-tp57376… Sent from the Koha-devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

DOM Indexing--why several config files from which generating indexes XSL?
by Frédéric Demians 27 Dec '12

27 Dec '12

Zebra DOM model indexing had been introduced into Koha, deprecating GRS-1 model. With GRS-1, we used to have a records.abs file defining Koha indexes. With DOM model, an XSL file transforms MARCXML biblio records into Zebra indexes. This file is named biblio-zebra-indexdefs.xsl, and is stored in marc_defs/[marc21|unimarc]/biblios directory. But it seems that this file is not supposed to be modified directly. Going to DOM model, records.abs had been transformed into a biblio-koha-indexdefs.xml. This transformation is done with a XSL koha-indexdefs-to-zebra.xsl. Then biblio-koha-indexdefs.xml is transformed into biblio-zebra-indexdefs.xsl with biblio-koha-indexdefs.xml We have this chain of transformations: records.abs >>> XSLT koha-indexdefs-to-zebra.xsl biblio-koha-indexdefs.xml >>> XSLT biblio-koha-indexdefs.xml biblio-zebra-indexdefs.xsl The question is, using Zebra in DOM mode, why should we continue to modify records.abs file, and then cascading generating following files? Or even, why should we modify biblio-koha-indexdefs.xml, and then create from it biblio-zebra-indexdefs.xsl? Why not modifying from now directly biblio-zebra-indexdefs.xsl. -- Frédéric DEMIANS http://www.tamil.fr/u/fdemians.html

My Zebra Indexing won’t work
by Waqar Azeem 27 Dec '12

27 Dec '12

A couple of months back I down loaded Koha VM from http://sourceforge.net/projects/koha-va/files/ by Kyle After importing MARC records I found that search is not working on Other languages, and to overcome this I need to enable some ICU option in zebra indexer. The simplest way that I thought was to drop the database and re-run the Web Installer and Import data. After re-running the web Installer (i think) the Old indexed data is already there and on my empty database it brings the old data again and again. I Tried to re-index the server but no success so far. I hope this is the right command to re-index. koha@koha:~$ export PERL5LIB=/home/koha/kohaclone/ koha@koha:~$ export KOHA_CONF=/home/koha/koha-dev/etc/koha-conf.xml koha@koha:~$ /home/koha/kohaclone/misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r -v koha@koha:~/kohaclone$ /home/koha/kohaclone/misc/migration_tools/ rebuild_zebra.pl -a -r -v Zebra configuration information ================================ Zebra biblio directory = /home/koha/koha-dev/var/lib/zebradb/biblios Zebra authorities directory = /home/koha/koha-dev/var/lib/zebradb/authorities Koha directory = /home/koha/kohaclone BIBLIONUMBER in : 999$c BIBLIOITEMNUMBER in : 999$d ================================ ==================== exporting authority ==================== Records exported: 0 ==================== REINDEXING zebra ==================== *skipping biblios* ==================== CLEANING ==================== -- Thanks & Best Regards, Waqar Azeem
