https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=42566 Bug ID: 42566 Summary: Remove C4::Koha::GetNormalizedUPC in favor of MetadataExtractor Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: Main 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: tomascohen(a)gmail.com QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org Depends on: 34828 C4::Koha::GetNormalizedUPC duplicates logic already available via Koha::Biblio::Metadata::Extractor (Bug 34828) and exposed as $biblio->normalized_upc. The implementations are semantically identical (same fields, same indicator check, same normalization logic). This bug removes GetNormalizedUPC and migrates all callers to use either $biblio->normalized_upc or the extractor directly. Callers to migrate: - C4::Search (only has MARC::Record, use extractor directly) - C4::ShelfBrowser (has $biblio) - opac-shelves.pl, opac-user.pl, opac-showreviews.pl (have $biblio) - virtualshelves/shelves.pl (has $biblio) Depends on Bug 34828.

[Bug 42569] New: Refactor Koha::Biblio->get_coins to use MetadataExtractor

This should be refactored to use the MetadataExtractor pattern: - Add extraction methods for the fields get_coins needs (authors, title, publication info, host record info) - Simplify get_coins to call the extractor and assemble the OpenURL string This is a larger refactoring than the single-field extractions (OCLC, UPC, EAN) since get_coins extracts multiple fields with conditional logic based on leader values.

[Bug 37557] New: Hiding whole fields in MARC bibliographic frameworks

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=37557 Bug ID: 37557 Summary: Hiding whole fields in MARC bibliographic frameworks Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 23.11 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Cataloging Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: bibliotheca(a)klastervyssibrod.cz QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: m.de.rooy(a)rijksmuseum.nl I based a new MARC bibliographic framework on the default one and don´t need most of the fields there, but do not want to delete them, because it´s possible that I´ll want to use them in the future, so I would rather just hide them. But unluckily it´s only possible to hide the subfields one by one and the whole field disappears only after I hid all of the corresponding subfields - which takes very much time to do and is pretty tedious. So what I suggest is to make it possible to hide whole fields in a MARC bibliographic framework with one click (or even to be able to select more of them at once and then hide them all) without having to hide all the subfields one by one first. (By hiding I mean to uncheck all the visibility options by a subfield, or to check the "Flagged" option there.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

[Bug 41963] New: OPAC list view toolbar and action buttons consume most of the screen on mobile

The list actions toolbar (New list, Download, Send, Print, Edit, Delete, Share, Sort) and the selections toolbar (Select all, Clear all, Place hold, Remove) are always fully expanded and sticky, consuming 7+ rows of buttons before any list content is visible. There is no way I found to collapse or dismiss them. 2. The per-item action buttons (Place hold, Save to another list, Remove from list, Add to cart) render as full-width block elements with 120% font size, taking more vertical space than the bibliographic information itself. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

[Bug 34962] New: Add a system messages feature to Koha to report issues and failures in a more visible way

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=34962 Bug ID: 34962 Summary: Add a system messages feature to Koha to report issues and failures in a more visible way 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: kyle(a)bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org Many web projects have a "system messages" area to report cron failures and things like that. These messages are often dismissable. I think it would be great to have a "system messages" table that we could insert things into to make staff aware that something has failed. What I'm imagining is something like wrapping cronjob code in a try/catch and reporting cronjob failures. This would dovetail with action logs. Action logs lot you got searching for issues. This would put the issue right in front of you and would be trigger by actual failures. It could be used to report records with malformed MARC. It could be used to report items that are missing a required field that Koha assumes exists to function, and so on. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
