Error while adding authority
by Walid AZIZ 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

Hi, When we try to add a new authority, we have the following error : Koha error The following fatal error has occurred: No _parse_* routine defined on this driver (If it is a filter, remember to set the Parent property. If you call the parse() method, make sure to set a Source. You may want to call parse_uri, parse_string or parse_file instead.)

check-url.pl
by David Schuster 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

Has anyone configured and ran this utility in the misc folder? Looks like a cool tool but I don't know enough about perl to know what needs to be modified. I'll take it to my resident perl expert and have him interpret for me and maybe play with it. Just checking before I spend time on it. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/check-url.pl-tp27307963p27307963.html Sent from the Koha - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Importing MARC Records - Missing Item Type
by Richard Forristall 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

Hello all - hope you had a great weekend! I've spent the better part of 2 days searching for a solution to my librarian's dilemma -- when she downloads MARC records from vendors then imports, stages and manages the records, she is having to manually enter each record's item/item type whenever she tries to checkout anything (that she hasn't yet added the item/type). I went into my troubleshoot/research mode thinking there is: 1. A standard MARC record format that all vendors use that includes the item type. 2. A standard MARC-to-Koha mapping system so the item type is automatically stored in the koha database. Being very new to library systems and Koha, I'm coming up short on answers, so I'm asking for assistance. 1. Are my above assumptions correct? If so, what, if anything do I need to do to turn on the MARC -> Koha mapping? 2. If my assumptions are wrong, what am I missing and how can I help eliminate this challenge for my librarian. Thanks in advance for taking the time out of your busy schedule to review and assist with this issue :--) Rick ------------------------------------------- Rick Forristall Programmer Analyst Goodwill of Central AZ 602.535.4078 -------------------------------------------

cron job for loading pictures or better option
by David Schuster 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

I have 53,000 students and a windows server in another building that I have a fileshare to. What would be the recommended way to copy those files over and load them into Koha? I have tried scp * but the problem is that it only copies what 2000 at a time and then dies. I'm a librarian looking for an easy solution without lots of programming. So here was my thought: build a cron first make the fileshare connection then issue several scp statements to copy the files over to the local server then issue the command to batch load them I have a command line utility that someone gave me to batch load pictures. I'll find someone to send it to for testing with 3.2. Next task... Thoughts? Comments - is there an easier way? manually I have copied the files over and run this command to load them I believe the utility is assuming the files are in the same directory: ./loadimages.sh - which issues perl loadimages.pl -i IDLINK.txt -l image.log from the loadimages.pl file - my(%count,$input_file,$error_file,$log_file,$sepchar,$imagedirectory); $imagedirectory = ""; -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/cron-job-for-loading-pictures-or-better-option-tp2724… Sent from the Koha - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

koha 3.0.6 soon
by LAURENT Henri-Damien 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

Hi, I plan to release a 3.0.6 soon, early next week or the week after. And 3.2 will fix many things we cannot fix with this code base. Nonetheless, I plan to maintain 3.0.x as long as 3.2 is not officially released. You can already see the work in progress on 3.0.x branch of git.koha.org Translators, there are little changes from previous version. That new release would include bug fixes reserve/request.pl and more failsafe for recentacquisitions.pl . But also some enhancement such as the ability to provide a path to xslt stylesheets in sysprefs, a new systempreference to allow librarians of different branches not to see borrowers of other branch. Thanks for your efforts and feedback all. -- Henri-Damien LAURENT Release maintainer 3.0.x

FYI The Graphics::Magick perl module is now required for install in the community 3.2 branch hosted by biblibre. Anyone wanting to install that on Fedora will probably need the work around listed in > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=527143 to get it to work.

New to Koha
by Scott Corwin 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

Hi all, my name is Scott and I'm just getting started in the Koha process. I'm not a librarian nor do I have any background in the field. I'm currently testing using one of the configured appliances using version 3.00.01.005. I'll be attempting to convert our existing bibliographic database, which has no standard MARC formatting into a MARC format using MARCEdit....at least that's my plan. Thanks to all the FOSS community on this project so far looks very useful an malleable to our purposes. Scott
