Seeking advice for using the Brother PTD610BT label printer, with Koha, to print spine labels
by Alex Buckley 19 Aug '25

19 Aug '25

Kia ora Koha community, We have a Koha partner library (running Koha 24.11.07) trying to use the Brother PTD610BT label printer, for printing item call number spine labels, but are having problems with the following: * Finding the correct dimensions to set in the Koha label template. * What tape cutting mode option to set on the printer, to stop excess tape being wasted when they print. --- Is anyone else in the Koha community successfully using the Brother PTD610BT label printer to print spine labels? If yes, would you mind please sharing: * What Koha label template settings you are using for printing on the 12mm and/or 24 mm tapes? * What tape cutting mode option are you using, with this printer, to prevent excess wasted tape? If others are using a different printer to print on 12mm or 24mm tape, what Koha label template settings have you found to be successful? Any advice would be much appreciated!

More than three overdue actions
by Tim Koop 17 Aug '25

17 Aug '25

Hello Koha developers. Our head librarian has asked us for the ability to remind patrons every week about overdue items. I've noticed that the "Overdue notice/status triggers" page only lists up to three. Is it possible to increase this? Or is it possible to email a litter every week? The answer to the above questions might be "No, it's not possible". So in that case, is there some sort of plugin that would give us this feature? Or would the developer community be open to accepting a patch if we wanted to develop this feature ourselves and submit it to the project? Please advise. Thank you.

Issues with database audit
by Pablo Bianchi 15 Jul '25

15 Jul '25

Some Koha instances (24.11.06), regularly updated successfully to stable since 20.05 present hundreds of ALTER TABLE/DROP TABLE on Database audit tab. On one hand, we have the warning: > Warning! These commands are only suggestions. They are not a replacement for the database update scripts run during installations and updates. > Review the database, the atomic update files and the table definitions in kohastructure.sql before running any of the commands below: It would be a huge task to review case by case. kohastructure.sql have thousand of rows. Also, shouldn't these queries be atomic? Applying some of them couldn't leave on an unstable state? On the other hand, we have Run the following SQL to fix the database: -- Convert schema '' to '':; BEGIN; ALTER TABLE ... COMMIT; If I just run this .sql I usually came across some errors: 1. Using reserved words such as `schema` (biblio_metadata) and `database` (`erm_usage_databases`) as column names without escaping them leads to syntax errors, specifically error 1064. 2. `ALTER TABLE erm_eholdings_packages DROP FOREIGN KEY erm_packages_ibfk_1`, but FK is `erm_eholdings_packages_ibfk_1`, not `erm_packages_ibfk_1`. But even being able to run .sql, after fixing those issues, database audit keeps suggesting hundreds of ALTER TABLE, changes which are already being made. It is not exactly the same list of queries. I diff between after/before. The ones which were done and not asked again are: - DROP FOREIGN KEYs - DROP/ADD INDEX - DROP TABLEs I'm doing something wrong, or should I file a bug? Furthermore, `bin/maintenance/audit_database.pl` don't find `kohastructure.sql`. Looking at the code, it seems is not meant to run on terminal, right? Regards, Pablo
