18. Системні налаштування

This is a lot of miscellaneous stuff that you’ll want to take a look at. Клацнувши на Системні налаштування Ви доберетеся до сторінки “Керування системним налаштуваннями”.

You’ll see three columns : Variable, Value and Explanation. Here are what the first two are set to in my system.

autoBarcode 0 I didn’t want Koha to come up with a Barcode - I already had barcodes, so I obviously wanted the database to match what was on my books
autoMemberNum 0 Again, I didn’t want Koha to generate stuff for me. I work in a small town where everyone was assigned a number, which they remember and use to check out materials. They also use their numbers to check the cards in the books to see if they’ve read a given book. When I first got to the Library, I started to scratch these out because of privacy concerns, but my patrons yelled at me, because they couldn’t figure out what they read anymore. So this was a big plus to having Koha - they wouldn’t need a new long barcode number.

insecure no Це важливо. I’m pretty sure if you set this to "Yes" other folks can mess with your administrative stuff without needing a password. That means nice people like Paul can fix stuff, but it means evil folks can do bad stuff. You might as well just have a password. It’s not hard. To have the secure no value, click on this, and make sure the value is set to 0.

Library Name Hinsdale Public Library Koha Free Software Koha : a gift, a contribution in Maori

This one’s neat. If you mess with this value, it will show up on the first OPAC screen right above the little wave. It obeys HTML, so if I click on the edit folder to the right of this field, I actually have “


    <B>Hinsdale Public Library</B><BR><BR><BR>
    <i><b>Koha Free Software</b> <br/> 
    Koha : a gift, a contribution <br/> in Maori</i>
” as the value. As always, click OK to save your changes.

marc yes I would set this to yes even if you aren’t terribly sure how to catalogue with MARC. Later, I’ll go through how someone would add a basic record in MARC.
marcflavour MARC21 This is the MARC that serves me best in the States.
maxoutstanding 99 If you don’t want your patrons to be able to place reserves if they already have 5 books out, you would set this to 5. I don’t care how many books my patrons have out, so I set this to 99. I wish there were one more digit to this number. It’s not common to have more than 100 items out, but it does happen. What hasn’t happened to me is a situation that would warrant more than 999 books out to one person or agency.
maxreserves 5 This is the number of requests someone can make. I arbitrarily set it to 5, because I think that it’s fair.
noissuescharge 99 I believe that this is what you would change to limit patrons to a certain number of materials at a time. I’m open with my policies, but it would be very useful to other people to have this tied to the item type and borrowers tables. That way, a library could limit a patron to as many books as a patron wanted, but have a limit to DVDs. Alternatively, adults would be able to check out as much as they wanted, but kids could be limited to 10 items at a time. I wouldn’t limit kids, but there are some people out there that would want that.

opacthemes default You can change your OPAC theme. There is information on how to do that on the mailing list archive, but since that deals predominantly with the mysterious Linux part, I don’t know how to mess with mine.
template default I just left this alone, too.
timeout 1200 This is the time in seconds until you get that annoying "Your session expired, log back in" type of message. You don’t want to set this so high that someone else can mess with the database while you’re off doing something else BUT you don’t want it so short that you have to relogin every time something distracts you.

Give yourself a big pat on the back! You’re done all of the setup stuff you need to do in order to do actual work with Koha. :) On to tools!
