Re: [Koha] Upgraded from Ubuntu 18 LTS to 20 LTS

2020-10-23 Thread John Sterbenz
I tried to upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS just this week using "do-release-upgrade". This created several problems that, since I'm in my last week of employment and am not being replaced (immediately if at all), caused me to abandon the OS upgrade and I restored my machine using a snapshot taken prio

Frameworks give me the ability to do something I wished my previous catalog could do but didn't--customized OPAC and staff-side field labels (all the way down to the subfield level, which is a really nice bonus). While the "provided" ones focus on format, you have the ability to create brand new o

Hello Murphy, It is my understanding that 18.04 is not yet supported as an OS (16.04 is, though)--MySQL 5.7 is also not supported (version should be "up to 5.6"--or use MariaDB instead). If you're not too far along in your efforts, you might want to start over with that OS/SQL server configuratio

Re: [Koha] Bug 9775 - Unitprice should be hidden when creating an order

2018-10-25 Thread John Sterbenz
Under our scenario and as developed under 16.05 (when we started working with Acquisitions because it was the first version that supported standing orders), UI "Actual Cost" (SQL aqorders.unitprice) is only filled in at the time of item receipt (invoice payment) for both firm and standing orders.

The user manual used to have a great table listing all of the 952 fields, which ones were required (with a default installation and with the loading of defaults during the web installer) and which ones were required (for circulation). A quick search and I am unable to find that table in the 17.11

Re: [Koha] Report error (SQL )

Hello Luis, There was a big change in the way MARC data is handled in 17.05. marcxml is no longer in the biblioitems table--it is now biblio_metadata.metadata If you're running 17.05, this would be a great place to start looking to update your query. If you're not on 17.05, I'm afraid I don't h

Hi! My name is John Sterbenz and I am exploring joining the Koha community as my library examines its needs in a post-physical collection world. In May of 2013, we had 150,000 physical items across two facilities and six primary collections, with access to around 400,000 electronic titles. By
