Now, it's throwing a 500 error. The only way to fix it is in the backend. It would be nice if Koha could automatically remove invalid metadata/characters. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

For example you might want to link from your subscription to the vendor's page for the serial or from your basket to your order on the vendor's website. For this it would be nice if you could configure additional fields to be links. It would be especially nice if it allowed you to specify a link with a place holder, that is then entered into the field, creating the link. For example your configuration could be: [x] Is a link Link structure: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id={data} Link text: Bug {data} Then in the form, you'll just enter the number: 32751 And on all pages that display the link, this would create a link to: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=32751 Referenced Bugs: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=32751 [Bug 32751] [Omnibus] Extend, improve and standardize additional fields -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 39943] New: Add a separate PIN code field for accessing self service devices

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=39943 Bug ID: 39943 Summary: Add a separate PIN code field for accessing self service devices Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Authentication Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: lari.taskula(a)hypernova.fi QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: dpavlin(a)rot13.org Some libraries allow their patrons to authenticate to a self-checkout or an access control device with a short pin number. While this is user-friendly and compatible with numpad devices, from a security standpoint it is not acceptable to have such a weak pin code as the patron account password outside library premises in OPAC on the public internet. It would be useful to separate a weaker PIN code field from the borrowers.password field. This weaker PIN code would only be used for SIP2 and possibly SCO/SCI access in a more restricted environment. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 32327] New: When replacing bib record via z39.50, only 1 ISBN should be searched and it should be normalized

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=32327 Bug ID: 32327 Summary: When replacing bib record via z39.50, only 1 ISBN should be searched and it should be normalized Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: Cataloging Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: andrewfh(a)dubcolib.org QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: m.de.rooy(a)rijksmuseum.nl The replace via z39.50 function pre-populates the z39.50 search form with values from the existing bib. Koha just pastes in the contents of biblioitems.isbn, which means it very often pre-populates that field with a value that will never find anything. If the existing record has more than 1 ISBN, the prepopulated form will list them all, pipe-separated. This search will always return no results, even when either ISBN returns results successfully on its own. If the existing record contains a parenthetical note about binding, that search will generally fail as well. We should only put the first ISBN from the record into the search form and we should strip out any binding note or other fluff. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
