[Bug 24533] New: Improved sorting in checkouts table

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=24533 Bug ID: 24533 Summary: Improved sorting in checkouts table Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Circulation Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: martin.renvoize(a)ptfs-europe.com QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt(a)gmail.com, kyle.m.hall(a)gmail.com The sorting in the checkouts table regressed with bug 23493. Before the patch: * Initial table load would group the results by "Today's checkouts" and "Previous checkouts". * Any subsequent column sort would disable the grouping entirely. After the patch: * Initial table load groups the results by "Today's checkouts" and "Previous checkouts". * Any subsequent column sort will sort by that column, but leave the group titles intact. As such, sorting by title for example can end up with multiple "Today's checkouts" header rows which is confusing. I propose that for all column sorts, with the exception of due date, we perform a primary sort on the grouping field followed by a secondary sort on the column in question. This way we maintain the grouping and just sort within the groups. For the due date column sort I propose sorting directly on due date and removing the grouping header rows entirely. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

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

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 39256] New: Unable to specify ILL branches like holds branches

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=39256 Bug ID: 39256 Summary: Unable to specify ILL branches like holds branches Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 24.11 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: ILL Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: ephetteplace(a)cca.edu QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: pedro.amorim(a)ptfs-europe.com, tomascohen(a)gmail.com The library branch settings /cgi-bin/koha/admin/branches.pl have a "Pickup location" setting which allows libraries to specify which branches serve as pickup locations for holds. It would be useful to specify whether a branch can be selected in the interlibrary loan location dropdown as well, for analogous reasons (e.g., storage branches which do not fulfill holds nor ILL requests). For our purposes, we could use the same setting to populate the ILL requests branch menu, but it is likely that other libraries may want a branch to serve only holds or holds ILLs for one of any number of reasons. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=39118 Bug ID: 39118 Summary: Make facet labels translatable Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Searching - Elasticsearch Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: caroline.cyr-la-rose(a)inlibro.com QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org Bug 35138 made adding or modifying facets much easier. However, and it was pointed out at the start of the bug report, user-created facets (or user-modified facets) aren't translatable. It would be great if we could have a way of translating them (without using the JS hack). To recreate: 1. Make sure your installation is using ElasticSearch (if using ktd, do `ktd --es7 up` or `ktd --es8 up`) 2. Make sure your installation has at least two languages 2.1. Install new language ktd --shell --root koha-translate --install fr-CA --dev kohadev 2.2. Go to Administration > System preferences 2.3. Search for languages 2.4. Check the new language in OPACLanguages and StaffInterfaceLanguages 2.5. Click 'Save all I18N/L10N preferences' 3. Add a facet (for example, Genre/Form on 655$a in MARC21) 3.1. Go to Administration > Search engine configuration (Elasticsearch) 3.2. In the 'Search fields' tab, find index-term-genre 3.3. Change the label to 'Genre/Form' 3.4. Click 'Save' 3.5. Go to the 'Bibliographic records' tab 3.6. In the last row of the 'Facet order' table, choose 'index-term-genre' 3.7. Click 'Add' 3.8. Click 'Save' 3.9. Go to the 'Bibliographic records' tab again 3.10. Find index-term-genre and change 'Facetable' to 'Yes' 3.11. Click 'Save' 4. Reindex ktd --shell ./misc/search_tools/rebuild_elasticsearch.pl -b -v -d (DO NOT USE -r or all your work in step 3 will be lost :((( ) 5. Search for "comedy" in the staff interface catalog --> The new facet is there with its label "Genre/Form" 6. Switch the interface to the other language 7. Redo step 5 --> The new facet's label is not translated 8. Search for "comedy" in the staff OPAC catalog --> The new facet is there with its label "Genre/Form" 9. Switch the OPAC to the other language 10. Redo step 8 --> The new facet's label is not translated Note: "Hardcoded" facets, such as Authors, Topics, etc. are currently translatable. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
