Question about 'borrow' flag in /member-flags.pl
by T & J Kotula 13 Apr '04

13 Apr '04

I was assuming that setting 'borrow' flag in /member-flags.pl will allow the user to borrow books against his/her account. With the 'catalogue' flag set as well, koha wouldn't let me in anywhere except the catalogue page. Am I missing something or is it a bug? PS. To be able to borrow I had to set the 'circulate' flag, which is not ideal. Thanks tomasz kotula.

Duplicate items in MARC tables
by Baiju M 13 Apr '04

13 Apr '04

Hi, When I imported some MARC records to Koha using bulkmarcimport.pl (I am using Koha 2.0.0) I get duplicate items in MARC tables (items just doubles in 'marc_subfield_table', but not in 'items' table) A portion from database dump : INSERT INTO marc_subfield_table VALUES (70064,3524,'952',8,'','p',3,'34511',NULL), (70065,3524,'952',8,'','u',5,'34511',NULL), (70066,3524,'090',9,'','c',1,'3524',NULL), (70067,3524,'090',9,'','d',2,'3524',NULL), (70068,3524,'952',10,'','b',1,'MAIN',NULL), (70069,3524,'952',10,'','d',2,'MAIN',NULL), (70070,3524,'952',10,'','p',3,'34511',NULL), (70071,3524,'952',10,'','u',5,'34511',NULL), (70072,3524,'952',10,'','u',7,'4339',NULL), (70073,3525,'100',1,'1','a',1,'David W Lindsay',NULL), (70074,3525,'245',2,'12','a',1,'English poetry 1700-1780',NULL), (70075,3525,'300',4,'','f',2,'BOOK',NULL), (70076,3525,'590',5,'','a',1,'ED',NULL), (70077,3525,'700',6,'1','a',1,'',NULL), (70078,3525,'852',7,'','k',1,'999.9997',NULL), (70079,3525,'852',7,'','h',2,'L4',NULL), (70080,3525,'952',8,'','b',1,'MAIN',NULL), (70081,3525,'952',8,'','d',2,'MAIN',NULL), (70082,3525,'952',8,'','p',3,'34514',NULL), (70083,3525,'952',8,'','u',5,'34514',NULL), (70084,3525,'090',9,'','c',1,'3525',NULL), (70085,3525,'090',9,'','d',2,'3525',NULL), (70086,3525,'952',10,'','b',1,'MAIN',NULL), (70087,3525,'952',10,'','d',2,'MAIN',NULL), (70088,3525,'952',10,'','p',3,'34514',NULL), (70089,3525,'952',10,'','u',5,'34514',NULL), (70090,3525,'952',10,'','u',7,'4340',NULL), See 952 'p' & 'u' repeats and 'u' not only repeats it gets one more value. Now, I just started looking to source codes. When I looked into bulkmarcimport.pl I found the last for loop creates this problem : for (my $i=0;$i<=$#items;$i++) { NEWnewitem($dbh,$items[$i],$bibid); } When I just commented this for loop, the problem in 'marc_subfield_table' got fixed. But then, there was no items in 'items' table. If this is really a bug, will try to fix it myself. Could anyone give any pointer? Now I am trying to explore it more, here is some other clues I got. NEWnewbiblio function creates bibio and items in MARC tables (and only bibio in NON-MARC tables) my ($bibid,$oldbibnum,$oldbibitemnum) = NEWnewbiblio($dbh,$newRecord); NEWnewitem function creates items in both MARC and NON-MARC tables, in addition to that it also creates one more 952 'u' for each item(?). NEWnewbiblio function is calling from acqui.simple/addbiblio.pl (Here it will not create any items, just because there is no items) ($bibid,$oldbibnum,$oldbibitemnum) = NEWnewbiblio($dbh,$record); So, I think NEWnewbiblio cannot use in bulkmarcimport.pl as in the case of addbiblio.pl Atleast it should have a parameter not to add 952 fields(?) NEWnewitem function is calling from acqui.simple/additem.pl my ($oldbiblionumber,$oldbibnum,$oldbibitemnum) = NEWnewitem($dbh,$record,$bibid) and this function should use to add items everywhere(including bulkmarcimport). See, I am just started looking to Koha source code, so my observation maynot be correct.

strange problem with passing $dbh value
by Stephen Hedges 09 Apr '04

09 Apr '04

I need a clue... I'm having a problem with import of bulk MARC records. We just moved all the Nelsonville Library Koha stuff to a new machine on Sunday, where we are now using the new 2.0 release. (Our old production machine had a pasted together collection of Koha stuff, some of it 7 months old.) In the process we also moved our MARC import script. Now something weird is happening. When I try to run the script as any user other than root, it fails because the bulkmarcimport call to the &MARCfind_marc_from_kohafield function in Biblio.pm is not passing the $dbh value. So Biblio.pm throws a 'no database' error: DBD::mysql::st execute failed: No Database Selected at /usr/local/koha/intranet/modules//C4/Biblio.pm line 258. (same error happens later in the script at Biblio.pm line 858) If I "su" to superuser and try running the script again, it works. (On our old machine, it worked either way.) The script is getting the value of $dbh from Context.pm without any problem. It just doesn't seem to pass the value to Biblio.pm unless the script is run by the superuser. All the Koha module permissions look OK (755) -- although that shouldn't even be a factor. I don't think this is a bug, I think I'm just overlooking something. Does anybody have any suggestions? -- Stephen Hedges Skemotah Solutions, USA www.skemotah.com -- shedges(a)skemotah.com

Koha 2.0 has been released!
by Pat Eyler 31 Mar '04

31 Mar '04

After a two year cycle of intense development efforts Koha 2.0 is now being released! Early release copies of Koha 2.0 have been deployed in libraries in France and the United States for over 6 months. With this new release, we expect Koha to be deployed in many more libraries around the world. Koha 2.0 is a major upgrade to the Koha 1.2 system, including features like: a fully templated web interface, translation tools and translations into french, chinese, and polish, and best of all ... full integration with MARC (both UniMARC and MARC21). Koha 2.0 can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=16466 With this release, we're making a change in the release managment for Koha. Paul Poulain, who managed the development of Koha 2.0, will be turning over the ongoing management of the 2.0 version to MJ Ray. Paul won't be sitting idle though, he will become the manager of Koha 2.2 development. Congratulations, and good luck, to both MJ and Paul. Too many people have contributed to Koha over the last two years to thank everyone individually, but we would be remiss if we didn't mention a few people who've made major contributions: Paul Poulain and Steve Tonnesen did the majority of the design for our new MARC database layout, Stephen Hedges and the Nelsonville Public Library funded a great deal of the MARC development, l'Abbaye Notre Dame des Dombes also aided the MARC work by providing a test environment during early development, MJ Ray coordinated much of the bug hunting and squashing effort, and last (but not least) Katipo Communications has continued to provide all manner of support to the Koha community.

30 Mar '04

Hi, i've commited 2 new reports on cvs (HEAD). They are based on a report standard structure that could be used to easily extend & create new reports. NPL : Let me know if the report of issues gives correct results in correct times. PS : no doc yet for the plugin structure, but it will come soon. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

Z39.50 javascript issues?
by Steve Langasek 29 Mar '04

29 Mar '04

Hi all, Hope this question isn't out of place on this mailing list. I've recently been asked to help deploy a test koha site for evaluation by a local church library. The installation of koha 2.0.0 on Debian/sarge seems to have gone quite nicely (though there needs to be a Debian package for it so I don't have to answer so many questions, hmm ;), and I'm ready to start trying to populate the database with test data using the z3950 query tool (AIUI, this library doesn't have an existing electronic catalog, so this seems to be the most effective way for them to populate their database if they decide koha meets their needs). When I click the 'z3950 search' button on the intranet cgi-bin/koha/acqui.simple/addbiblio.pl page, I get only the following javascript error: document.forms[0].field_value has no properties In http://quetz:8080/cgi-bin/koha/acqui.simple/addbiblio.pl, Line 412, Sure enough, I don't see anything to indicate field_value is a valid form element on this page. Hopefully the z3950 support in 2.0.0 was tested before release, and I'm overlooking an easy fix for this javascript error? Please cc: me on any replies, as I'm not subscribed. TIA, -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
