Re: [Koha] Not finding items
Hi, Paul, with the following three commands, you should be able to get an overview of what is or is not running—assuming that Zebra is the chosen indexing service: sudo koha-indexer --status {libraryName} sudo koha-zebra --status {libraryName} sudo systemctl status koha-common The results from the last command should have indicators that the other two are running. If something is NOT running, then you can start it individually with the "--start" command with the first two, or you can use the "restart" command with the third one.

[Koha] Special purpose KOHA...Manage ILL?
So just wondering if there are any libraries who have used KOHA in limited/emergency circumstances to only manage Interlibrary Loans? The reason I ask is because our Network and POLARIS Integrated Library System (ILS) are down/offline and POLARIS is therefore not able to interface with our statewide ILL management platform, ShareIt, a product of Auto-Graphics, Inc. Our IT staff is working on the outage (possibly due to some kind of cyberattack, still under investigation); regular circ is eeking by using the Offline Circ functions in POLARIS for check out and check in. But this is not an option for ILL. My thought was, ILL borrowing could be restored if we set up a version of KOHA on one of our county government servers, for the sole purpose of managing and circulating ILL items. It would need to be able to interface with ShareIt to validate (ILL) patrons, create temporary bib records, generate patron holds, etc. Are there any KOHA users out there who also use ShareIt to manage their ILLs? How has it worked out for you and was the setup easy or hard? The downside to Open Source like KOHA is while it is free to download it would require the commitment of some IT Staff who are already overworked as it is. We are also considering cloud based alternatives like LibLime (despite the extra vendor costs) as a viable stopgap measure to keep ILL services operational during the crisis, to be discontinued once POLARIS is restored. Right now we are keeping things running as best we can with hotspots & laptops. --John J.

Re: [Koha] Not finding items
David, Once again thank you for your help! The indexer, zebra and koha-common were all running. I did a sudo systemctl restart koha-common and now I can find items again. Anybody know what might have happened to cause this issue? Does anybody schedule a restart at night for their instance?

Re: [Koha] self-registration

On the OPAC main page, under the login form in the right-hand sidebar: "Create an account" Also in the modal window triggered from the "Log in to your account" link in the header. Also on the login page which is shown if the user tries to access a page which requires login. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries https://www.myacpl.org ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Unsubscribe: https://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
