Diacritics in title
by Chadwick, John, DCA 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

We are using Koha 3.01.00.61 and we have run into a slight bump in the road. I would appreciate any advice or help on this issue. Being in the southwestern United States with a large population who speak Spanish we have a lot books in Spanish, complete with Spanish diacritics. The behavior we are seeing is that if the only place that has the diacritic is the title, the keyword search fails. Some records have the title or partial title with diacritics in a 520 field. When this is the case, the keyword search will bring results, but a title only search will still fail. The searching worked with earlier versions of Koha (3.00.02) but it is not working now. When I look at the sort-string-utf.chr file for en, all the equivalents are commented out. When I look at the same file in the fr directory, the equivalents are not commented out. I am hoping someone has a copy of the sort-string-utf.chr file with Spanish diacritic equivalents so we can do some testing.

Re: [Koha-devel] Koha Zebra Reindexing

An update to my tale. So far, ive managed to get my new field indexed, and searcing via @attr in yazclient works. I have no knowledge of CCL, and help files on its syntax seem to be nonexistant. What Ive done is put it in ccl.properties appropiately, so jn is Journal-number and Journal-number 1=9903 .... how do i do a 'not' on jn in ccl? ----- Original Message ---- From: Waylon Robertson <wrobertson1981(a)yahoo.co.nz> To: Chris Cormack <chris(a)bigballofwax.co.nz>; Arturo Ochoa <arturo8a(a)gmail.com> Cc: koha-devel(a)lists.koha.org Sent: Sat, 28 November, 2009 10:04:25 PM Subject: Re: [Koha-devel] Koha Zebra Reindexing Hi, Im back in the flow as it were, working on Koha... getting paid for it too.

Hi I have been late on my schedule. But I want to announce that 3.0.5 should be packaged released by the end of the week.

Stuck with mailing overdue notice
by nitesh rijal 29 Nov '09

29 Nov '09

Hello all I am using KOHA 3.0.3 with zebra server. I have sendmail and it sends mail from command line. I have set up a new patron with an email address and also made a lot of overdue for that patron. The fines.pl file calculates the fine very well. But when it comes to mailing the patron about the overdue then I'm stuck. I have set up the triggers and the rules for mailing as well. I have changed the /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/crontab.example accordingly. This is what I did to change the crontab.example file. # crontab -u root crontab.example # crontab -u kohaadmin crontab.example # crontab -e Now I edited the file, it uses nano editor to edit the crontab entries. To save them I pressed Crtl+O and gave the path to save as /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/crontab.example To exit the crontab I pressed Ctrl+X. To list the entries I used # crontab -l and it listed all my entries fine. Now I waited for the cron to run, but it didnot send the mail while it accumulated the fine. Both the fine and mail scripts are in the same crontab. So I ran the overdue_message.pl and process_message_queue.pl manually. They showed me no error neither they send the mails. What am I supposed to do now ???? I'm pretty much stucked. Please Help. Thankyou. -- Nitesh Rijal BE IT email: rijal.it(a)gmail.com url: http://niteshrijal.com.np facebook: http://facebook.com/openrijal twitter: http://twitter.com/openrijal +9779841458173

Koha Zebra Reindexing
by Arturo Ochoa 28 Nov '09

28 Nov '09

Hi Guys, Im using MARC21 When i tried to reindexing with rebuild_zebra.pl, everythings looks to be fine,but zebra is doesn't reindexing the fields 710,711 that corresponds to a CORPO_NAME,MEETI_NAME. For example, i have a secondary author named "Universidad Nacional de Ingenieria", and i assign it to a book in the field 710 because it's a CORPO NAME. The link appears correctly in OPAC normal view of the book, but when you click on it, opac tries to search "an:11143" that isn't works and not returns any results. But, this works correctly with PERSO_NAME in the field 700. So, i think that zebra isn't indexing/reindexing the fields 710,711 from a biblio record.*Then, any people can give me a solution for this? * or maybe a way to change the fields that zebra is reindexing now? (i think it's from 'marc_subfield_structure' table). Greetings! Sorry for my bad english. :P

about patch for bug 3482
by Zeno Tajoli 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Dear David, thank you very much for your patch about bug 3482. Clearly is too big to send it in a e-mail. But I think that to send the direct link is a must for the mails to koha-patches. The direct link is: http://github.com/ptfs/Koha-PTFS/commits/Bug3482 I found quite difficult to find it. That's all and thank you again for your work. Ps: this patch is for version 3.0.x ? Because we need a new release to spread it. Cheers Zeno Tajoli Zeno Tajoli CILEA - Segrate (MI) tajoliAT_SPAM_no_prendiATcilea.it (Indirizzo mascherato anti-spam; sostituisci quanto tra AT con @)

Re: [Koha-devel] virtual hosting of Koha
by Krishnan M 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

I get the digest, so i am only able to respond now. I want to report one failure, and an eventual success (using a different route...) The failure: i was unable to deploy Koha to my regular account with a shared hosting service (specifically, hostmonster.com) i don't remember any problems with the make process, however, i had issues with getting the hosting to work...i don't even think i was using virtual hosts, i wanted to first get at least the INTRANET running, but the only thing i could use was changes to .htaccess files, since i don't get access to Apache's config directly. Koha had problems finding the Perl modules, specifically it did not pick up environment variables pointing to their location i was not very smart at that point with different approaches, so after trying for a while, i chose another route... Success: Since i was determined to host on the Internet, i basically decided to get my "own server", essentially a slice (at slicehost.com) They use virtualization and give you a choice of OS, ample bandwidth, and for all practical purposes, its like your own box, where you are root and can do whatever you like. >From then on, it was like a regular Koha install and a few hours later, it was up and running... i've never gone back and analyzed what went wrong with the shared hosting, but i basically faced one problem after another, so that eventually, i just gave up. But, i think, in theory, it should be possible to do with some changes to the install process.

Currently we show the Amazon cover and link back to the product's page on Amazon's web site from the cover itself. Some librarians I talk to are uncomfortable with the idea that their public library will show a link to a (monopolistic (online-only (us-owned (insert-yr-own-fears-here)))) bookseller in such a prominent way : using the whole cover image as a link. At least some of them would be assuaged, I think, by a more discreet link between their opac and Amazon : removing the link from the image itself and providing it through a tiny text just below the image, saying "source : Amazon", might be a solution. See example at http://www.libfly.com/je-suis-une-legende-livre-25918.html What do you think?
