Proposal to change phone and email language on patron
by Nicole Engard 25 Sep '10

25 Sep '10

Hi all, I was talking with some librarians today and they were wondering if we could change the language on the patron record. Instead of saying Phone (home) could it read Phone (primary)? This suggestion came from the fact that many people now have only a cell phone and if you enter that number in the Phone (cell) box you don't see it on the transit slips or the patron record quick view on the left. This suggestion carries over to the email addresses as well. I recommend we use Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary instead of Home, Work, Cell so that the librarians and patrons can decide what's most important for the patron. What do you all think? Anyone have any strong feelings either way? I will gladly make the change if others think this makes sense, but I wanted to bring the question to you all first. Thanks Nicole C. Engard

The work on bibliografic relationships (RFC 3.4 Analytic Record support)
by Zeno Tajoli 24 Sep '10

24 Sep '10

Hi to all, as I say, I have a sponsor to develop this RFC. Savitra Sirohi wrote here that want to do the work in Oct 2010. I can also work on this RFC in Oct 2010, but also later. Probably aslo one person from ByWater has a task on this RFC (Ian Walls?) Are there others developers ? I think we need to start to coordinate ourselves. Do we need a bug on bugzilla ? A specific git server / branch ? How to develop in parallel ? I have add a chat log about this RFC in http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Talk:Analytic_Record_support I also add same consideration about MARC21 and Unimarc here: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Analytic_Record_support#MARC21_and_Unim… My consideration: --I dont' want to use the embedded fields in Unimarc, too complex to use --In the near future I will add a optional plugin in z39.50 section to traslate Unimarc 4xx fields done with embedded fields to 4xx fields with standard fields. In Italy all Unimarc z39.50 server use embedded fields. -- I like the idea to have all relation in SQL tables but with the option to insert them into MARC data. For me the default is 'insert them into MARC, select to not insert' -- I suggest the idea to work manly with cataloguing plugins Bye Zeno -- Zeno Tajoli CILEA - Segrate (MI) tajoliAT_SPAM_no_prendiATcilea.it (Indirizzo mascherato anti-spam; sostituisci qaunto tra AT con @)

Error on Index 'Any' when searching authorities
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

When searching for authorities putting my search string on "Anywhere" y get no results, and the logs show: auth_finder.pl: oAuth error: Unsupported Use attribute (114) Any Bib-1 I was first recommended to review some threads about the topic (thanks jcamins) of the 'Heading-main' index, but I had no positive results. Reindexing yielded the same (null) results everytime. Then I remebered having switched recently to 'dom' model for authorities... because it was recommended during the install (at least in the 3.0.x branch, If I'm not wrong it was alleged more efficient). The thing is that when I switched back to grs1, I got my query results back! I think 'dom' usage should be discouraged until this is fixed. Thanks To+

NHUSD relied on the stellar support available from the Koha community as well as internal resources to successfully migrate nearly 200,000 items to Koha for 13 schools. NHUSD serves nearly 13,000 K-12 students and their families in the San Francisco Bay area. Inquiries about the project may be made to the Director of Technology at NHUSD, Chris Hobbs (chobbs(a)nhusd.k12.ca.us) Nîmes public libraries now live with Koha by Paul Poulain BibLibre announce that at the beginning of July, Nîmes Public Libraries successfully migrated from Loris to Koha and are now live. “We are very happy with Koha. We used a lot of free software for technical purposes, but it’s the first time we move to a free software for the libraries” said Niels Lor, IT Project Manager at Nîmes. “Nîmes perfectly understand that Free Software is also a matter of sharing, that’s why they are sponsoring many improvements. Some of them are already written, and will be integrated in koha 3.4, some are still underway” said Paul Poulain, BibLibre CEO.

A : Use this code in “intranetuserjs” system preference : $(document).ready(function() { $(“li$gt;form#searchform”).parent().after(“$lt;li$gt;$lt;a href=’/cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/search.pl’$gt;Advanced Search$lt;/a$gt;$lt;/li$gt;”); }); It adds a link to advanced search right after the simple search textbox. Spine Label Customizations by David Schuster You can adjust the font/etc.. with the new quick spine labeler! I wanted BOLD and LARGE on my 1×1 Dymo spine. hmmm headers, footers and 10 labels came out… time to investigate… So this is what I had to do. 1. I had to go into Firefox and make a couple of modifications 2. File page Setup 3. margins&header/Footer tab and change all 4 to 0.0 4. set the header footer drop down options to blank. (Thanks to INCOLSA for these tips) Then in the SpineLabelFormat system preference I put the following. <itemcallnumber><copynumber> After I saved it BAM! a bold spine label on my Dymo 1×1 label… Way cool – thanks Chris N for this feature. Now I’m working on how I can get that on the item level screen after we add the item! ENHANCEMENT! I had to tweak some of my settings but it works! Koha Events Thank you to our sponsors! by Nicole C.

Registrations from the international Koha community have been very strong. Over half of all available spaces are already taken. If you have been holding off on the premise that you will have plenty of time to do this later, then please register now. Please do not rely on there being free spaces on the day. Registration is quick and easy via the website. http://www.kohacon10.org.nz/2010/registration/ We look forward to seeing you in Wellington. Powhiri at Kawiu Marae by Joann Ransom Koha Conference attendees are invited to Levin on the 28th October for a very special event. The Library Trust is honoured that Muaupoko, the tangata whenua or people of the land, are hosting us at Kawiu Marae following the Mayoral reception in Council chambers. This is a first for the Library Trust and the purpose of this post is to encourage Conference attendees to join us for what will be a very special evening. We will be welcomed onto the Marae in a traditional manner. This will include the karanga where we are called on the Marae, a wero or taiaha challenge (to see if we come in peace), the laying down of koha, speeches, waiata (songs) a hakari or meal and kapa haka entertainment (singing, poi, haka). Information about the various components of the powhiri and what to expect can be found here. Read more… Newsletter edited by Nicole C. Engard, Koha Documentation Manager.

Bugzilla change - adding regression as a keyword
by Galen Charlton 15 Sep '10

15 Sep '10

Hi, At Chris Nighswonger's request, I've set up a way to mark a bug as a regression. Specifically, I've defined a bugzilla keyword, "regression". This has the effect of adding a keyword field on the bug entry form and the bug search form. Please see bug 4867 for an example. There are a couple other ways we could choose to mark bugs as regressions, e.g., by defining a new severity or priority. Feedback welcome. Regards, Galen -- Galen Charlton gmcharlt(a)gmail.com

Where discuss RFCs ?
by Zeno Tajoli 13 Sep '10

13 Sep '10

Hi to all, I write this mail to koha and koha-devel mailing lists because this topic is quit wide. So where do you think we need to discuss RFC? An example is this RFC: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Analytic_Record_support The original post is from Bywater Then in the "talk" section there is a replay of Savitra Sirohi. I want to add my considerations also (a user asked us a develop about analytics on unimarc). But where ? In the main section of the wiki page ? In the "Talk" section ? On the mailing lists ?
