[Bug 12450] Easily close a branch
by bugzilla-daemon＠bugs.koha-community.org 07 Aug '26

07 Aug '26

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12450 --- Comment #18 from Christopher Brannon <cbrannon(a)cdalibrary.org> --- Another aspect that makes this a MUCH NEEDED FEATURE is that we are currently working on adding new libraries to our system. There is currently no way to make a branch unavailable to staff or patron when setting up the new branch. They will be visible the moment the branch is added. This aspect might be a step beyond closure because it adds the added question as to whether or not the branch should be seen by staff/patron. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 43248] New: Lost, not for loan, withdrawn, and damaged statuses not considered in library float limits ratio calculations
by bugzilla-daemon＠bugs.koha-community.org 07 Aug '26

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=43248 Bug ID: 43248 Summary: Lost, not for loan, withdrawn, and damaged statuses not considered in library float limits ratio calculations Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: 26.05 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: Circulation Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: sbrown(a)bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: bwsdonna(a)gmail.com, gmcharlt(a)gmail.com, kyle(a)bywatersolutions.com Depends on: 28530 Target Milestone: --- It appears that lost, not for loan, withdrawn, and damaged statuses are not taken into account when Koha calculates libraries' library float limit ratio of available to max items, and thus aren't considered when determining which library should receive items. To replicate: -Set library float limits so that there will be a 'tie' for the lowest ratio between two branches (for instance, a Book limit of 10 at North and West branches, and 5 at East and South) -Distribute the holding library for Books so that North and West each have 7, and East and South each have 6. Thus, North and West have the same lowest ratio. -Set 5 of North's Books to any lost status (no other statuses apply to any other items at North or West) -Make sure that none of the North and West Books are checked out -*Repeat multiple times*: Check in a Book at South, and note the transfer target. Cancel the transfer, repeat the check in, and note that Koha randomly selects between North and West with each transfer. Ideally, the item would transfer to North since there are fewer *available* Book items. The same random selection of West or North happens when the majority of North's items are set to a withdrawn, damaged, or not for loan status.

[Bug 43247] New: Transfer reason doesn't show in Checked-in items table for float limit transfers

The reason shows in logs as 'LibraryFloatLimit', so Koha has the information - it's just not displaying it in that table.

[Bug 41795] New: UNIMARC: a Zebra search for Corporate Body Name authorities will also return Collective Titles
by bugzilla-daemon＠bugs.koha-community.org 07 Aug '26

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=41795 Bug ID: 41795 Summary: UNIMARC: a Zebra search for Corporate Body Name authorities will also return Collective Titles Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: Searching - Zebra Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: a.roussos(a)dataly.gr QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org As per the Bug Summary, when you search for Corporate Body Name authorities (authtypecode 'CO') in the OPAC or in the Staff interface, the results will also include Collective Titles (authtypecode 'CO_UNI_TI'). The problem manifests in UNIMARC instances that use the default authority type codes and a Zebra search backend. AIUI, it has to do with 'Corporate Body Name' authorities using an authtypecode ('CO') that just so happens to be the prefix of another authtypecode ('CO_UNI_TI') used by 'Collective Title' authorities. Out of the box, MARC21 instances aren't affected by this. However, in the (unlikely?) scenario that you've decided to catalog authorities under different authtypes than the built-in ones and somehow managed to add new authority types that share the same prefix ('AUTH', 'AUTH_CORP', 'AUTH_PERS', etc.), then you will run into problems when searching as there will be no guarantee that filtering for the specific authority type 'AUTH' will return only the results you will be expecting. Elasticsearch is not affected -- it's a Zebra-only thing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.
