Point me in the right direction? 2 main issues: searching for titles not always working and importing items. 14:32 oleonard SMay: Did you install Koha yourself? 14:33 SMay yes 14:33 oleonard Did you use the package install method? 14:33 SMay yes 14:34 oleonard Failed searches often mean that records haven't been indexed, but my understanding of the packages is that the indexer should automatically work 14:34 oleonard Searching is sometimes working? 14:35 oleonard This link shows commands for manually triggering the Zebra indexer: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Commands_provided_by_the_Debian_packages#koha-rebuild-zebra 14:36 SMay I've reindexed and rebuilt Zebra. It will begin working pulling items from our inventory (and items from the net). The next day I do a search for the same item and get no results. 14:37 oleonard Are you doing searches in the catalog module or the cataloging module? 14:38 SMay From the home menu selecting Search the Catalog option below the search field. 14:40 oleonard Sorry SMay I don't know what to suggest 14:41 SMay I just did another search from within the cataloging module and got 0 results, but it did come back with a biblio in the reservoir, but this item appears in the inventory via tools. 14:41 SMay I am going to try the link you provided and see what happens. 14:41 oleonard I don't understand what you mean by "this item appears in the inventory via tools." 14:42 SMay Is there a way to pull all of hte items in the reservoir into the inventory in one fail swoop versus individually? I have over 4000 items and I do not look forward to bringing them in one at a time. 14:43 SMay When I click on More | Tools then under Catalog select Inventory. I run this with no changes except results to be csv. 14:44 oleonard Did you import those records in the reservoir using the "Stage MARC records for import" tool? 14:46 SMay yes 14:46 oleonard Did you use the "Staged MARC record management" tool to import the records into the catalog? 14:47 SMay Yes 14:48 oleonard All I can think is that the import from "Staged MARC record management" didn't work correctly, but I don't know why that might be. 14:53 SMay Ok, thanks. I tried the reindex from the link and it didn't make a difference. I am rebooting the Linux server and will see if that makes a difference. I will keep digging on the web for a bit longer before washing my hands of it. 14:54 oleonard SMay: Don't give up, because your problem is most likely some kind of configuration or procedural problem. 14:55 oleonard SMay: Try coming back here at another time when there are more people around to help. 14:55 SMay Will do, thanks. 14:56 SMay Interesting...REindexed with the link AND rebooted the Linux server and the search is now working. 15:14 LeeJ oleonard: around? 15:14 oleonard Yes 15:15 Tin_ Anyone around that can help me with my catalog searching issue? 15:15 LeeJ oleonard: am I correct in thinking if a hidden input field is in a form and there's no value attribute set then in perl it would be considered undef? 15:15 oleonard LeeJ: I don't know 15:16 LeeJ Tin_: what seems to be the trouble? 15:16 LeeJ oleonard: hmm..guess it's time for trial and error 15:17 Tin_ Anything I search for in the catlog always returns.

I have a collection where they put in the target audience as written in the book, the age group (4 values possible) and the reading level (3 possible values). Those all go in 521, but I wanted to add authorised values for the age group and reading level but leave the target audience as free text 16:59 caroline That's not possible, right? 17:00 caroline I have to create 59X fields for age group and reading level? 17:00 cait not sure i get you 17:00 cait but you can only have either free text or a pull down for a field 17:00 cait maybe with different frameworks 17:01 cait I guess it all goes in the same subfield? 17:02 caroline Yeah, but it's in the same record. For example, they have a book called "Toto the magic puppy" (for example, I just made that up), in the book, it's written for 6 years and older, so they would write that in a field, in another field they would write 5-8 (age group) and another field 1 (reading level) 17:02 caroline They're not currently using MARC 17:03 caroline I'm trying to map their fields to MARC fields 17:03 LeeJ caroline: so basically three 521 fields with different values? 17:04 caroline yeah, that's what I figured 17:04 LeeJ OH OH OH 17:04 caroline 521 is repeatable, so that's good 17:04 LeeJ WAIT A SEC 17:04 caroline but I wanted to provide them with pull down for age group and realing level 17:05 LeeJ caroline: https://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/5xx/521.html 17:05 LeeJ the subfields!~ 17:05 LeeJ I think you might be able to make it work..give me a sec 17:13 LeeJ caroline: just confirmed with our cataloger..trying to see if there's something now but it appears you should be able to specify the intent of the field with the indicator 17:16 LeeJ caroline: so it appears that the auth value is a no-go currently...it seems there's a limitation to one auth value listing only (even if repeated) 17:16 caroline yeah, ok that's what I figured. 17:16 LeeJ if you could have a choice of which auth value list to use it probably could have worked 17:17 LeeJ maybe a thought for a bug report! "Enable the ability to pair MARC indicators with authorized values" 17:17 caroline I will see with my colleagues if they can tweak it, if not, I'll just add 59X fields for age group and reading level 17:17 LeeJ I think that would be a nifty feature 17:18 caroline good idea!
