Hi All, I¹m having a problem with Koha and the scanning/entering of Item and Patron Barcodes. Whenever you scan/enter a barcode or patron barcode in any module of Koha (Acquisitions, Cataloguing, Circulation [Checkin/Out], Serials, etc.) the following error will appear and Koha won¹t perform the

Joel, That particular section of C4/Biblio.pm is in the _AddBiblioNoZebra subroutine. Are you running Koha in NoZebra mode? It's not a very common configuration anymore. What is the approximate size of your bibliographic database? Cheers, -Ian 2011/8/30 Joel Harbottle > Hi All, > > I’m

What do you mean by 'do overdue.pl'? Overdues are sent automatically by Koha using the cron job - your circulation staff shouldn't have to touch anything related to that. Nicole On Tue, Aug 30, 2011 at 10:20 AM, Linda Culberson wrote: > Ian, > They have that one, but can't do the overdues.  It

Sending your response to the list so they can all see it. :)I suspect that your problem lies in your current NoZebra configuration. I'm not sure what to tell you to do since you *want* to keep using your NoZebra. Any thoughts out there? Liz Real...@nekls.org On Aug 30, 2011, at 9:44 AM, Joel Harbo

Sorry all, I didn't explain myself very well. I meant that from the page in the staff client that is cgi-bin/koha/circ/circulation-home.pl, it is the link for "Overdues" that goes to overdue.pl Without the reports permissions, they get sent back to the login screen with the message: "Error: Y

I'm curious, do you feel that this particular report should be available to circulation staff with "regular" circulation permissions, or is it ok that your circ staff has access to all of reports? If so, it might be a good idea to file a bug about that. I'm not sure I have an opinion about tha

Liz, I actually do have an opinion because I do need the overdue report to be available to all circulation staff. But then we don't have the "Large number of overdues" that is would make it "resource intensive" as it states in the warning. And no, I'd rather the circulation staff not have

I should add that collections over 10k, we usually really recommend using Zebra for indexing.As a data point for you, I have run a functioning library with 8k or so records with zebra on a P4 with 1G of RAM.

It should probably be pointed out that No Zebra code will probably be removed at some point in the future. So along with the fact that it is deprecated and unsupported, it is really a dead end road as well. Kind Regards, Chris 2011/8/30 Liz Rea > I should add that collections over 10k, we usua
