We could: - make Koha go find and remove relationships right away when a category is updated - provide a script that could be run/cronned to find and delete relationships from the command line -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

[Bug 33886] New: Flatpickr calendar - year controls for date of birth on memberentry.pl are not intuitive
by bugzilla-daemon＠bugs.koha-community.org 16 Apr '26

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=33886 Bug ID: 33886 Summary: Flatpickr calendar - year controls for date of birth on memberentry.pl are not intuitive Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Patrons Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: sally.healey(a)cheshiresharedservices.gov.uk QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt(a)gmail.com, kyle.m.hall(a)gmail.com I appreciate a lot of work has gone into swapping from the now-obsolete datepicker to flatpickr. However, when entering a date of birth on the joining form (memberentry.pl), on both the staff intranet and the public OPAC, flatpickr is not intuitive for users. For the staff, having a form cause frustrations when you're welcoming new patrons is not ideal - but at least we can train the staff on flatpickr's quirks. For new patrons trying to join on the OPAC, it's impossible to explain how to use it to them. We are concerned that patrons may choose not to join because of difficulty with the date of birth field. Full explanation: Koha previously used datepicker. It was possible to enter dates using just the keyboard (typing in), or just the mouse (using the datepicker calendar). With flatpickr, you can use the keyboard (typing in) - but if you attempt to use flatpickr as mouse-only, it's extremely long-winded. Flatpickr appears to be designed for mouse+keyboard together, which is unusual - and unexpected for the end user - in a calendar. With datepicker, the mouse workflow was: - Click to open datepicker. Then work from left to right, top to bottom: - Use the dropdown menu to select month. - Use the dropdown menu to select year. - Click on the date to select the date. These steps were all handled by the mouse alone. Using flatpickr, the mouse workflow is: - Click to open flatpickr Note that you cannot work from left to right. This is because flatpickr initialises with today's date. If you have a patron who is born in October but the current month is June, then October doesn't show in the month dropdown (as it's a date in the future). This means you have to start with the year, which is counterintuitive, as it's working right to left. - There is a box to type the year into - meaning that it's not mouse-only. Many average computer users might not even realise that this box can be typed into. Depending on how you use a mouse/keyboard (particularly Tenkey users), typing in can mean lifting your hand from the mouse to use the keyboard and going back again. - The year controls do not display until mouseover, so it's not immediately apparent to all users how the year can be manipulated - especially as this is juxtaposed with the permanently visible month dropdown controls. - When hovering over the year, the arrow controls then appear - and if you're expecting mouse-only input, you may believe you need to use these, rather than typing the year. - The arrow controls only increment +/- 1 year. It's not possible to click and hold to jump +/- 10 years, for example. If you try to use flatpickr as mouse-only and your patron was born in the 1950s, you'll be clicking for a very long time. So the mouse-only workflow ends up being: - Click to open flatpickr - Have to remember to work from right to left - Hover over the year so the arrow controls show - Click 70 times to get back to 1953 - Go right to left to the month drop down to select the month - Then select the date If you choose to type in the year instead, it feels as if it's defeating the object of having a calendar, as you've already typed in 4 digits out of an 8 digit date. Frequent requests have been made to the developer on GitHub for a change to this workflow, but the developer prefers their existing implementation - so a change would need to be a plugin. To alleviate the friction with the year selection, is there a plugin that can be adopted/written/implemented? It doesn't have to be a dropdown plugin; in other calendars, there are different mouse-only methods of handling years, for example: https://element.eleme.cn/#/en-US/component/date-picker (this style is used in Windows). There's some discussion of this on StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51425067/flatpickr-adding-dropdown-to-c… - including some solutions. And there's a recent (May 2023) dropdown plugin linked from that page: https://gist.github.com/ZachSaucier/ec6f58e49082c27eaae240786bc82997 Please could a plugin be considered? Or a different method of handling year inputs, at least where date of birth is a flatpickr field? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 36350] New: Add subclass of Koha::Objects that provides caching for find

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=36350 Bug ID: 36350 Summary: Add subclass of Koha::Objects that provides caching for find Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Architecture, internals, and plumbing Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: glasklas(a)gmail.com QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org At our library we have traced some performance issues to repeated find calls for a number of object types. To address this patch introduces a subclass for Koha::Object that if extended instead of the former provides a cached version of find. This patch enables caching for ItemTypes and Libraries which I believe are called repeatedly for the same objects much than the others. Other possible candidates are Patrons and Items but will have to do some more digging to find out if it makes much a difference. It's easy to enable/disable by just switching out the base class for the Koha::Object and Koha::Objects derived classes. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
