[Bug 40101] New: Add `Koha::Patron->can_place_holds`

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=40101 Bug ID: 40101 Summary: Add `Koha::Patron->can_place_holds` Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: PC OS: Mac OS Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 - high Component: Architecture, internals, and plumbing Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: tomascohen(a)gmail.com Some checks for patron's ability to place holds are baked in * controllers (e.g. opac-reserve.pl, request.pl) * templates (e.g. opac-reserve.tt, request.tt) We should move that logic into a reusable sub, covered with tests. My initial motivation is bug 39657 so we use this on the API, but it is a good opportunity to start cleaning up the codebase in the area as well. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

[Bug 42504] New: Remove totalissues from stored MARC, embed at index time
by bugzilla-daemon＠bugs.koha-community.org 30 Sep '26

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=42504 Bug ID: 42504 Summary: Remove totalissues from stored MARC, embed at index time 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 ## Problem update_totalissues.pl can run for 4+ hours on large installations. The root cause is that totalissues is stored in the MARC record (942$0), requiring the full ModBiblio pipeline per biblio: MARC XML deserialization, field update, serialization, TransformMarcToKoha, DB updates, search engine reindexing, cataloguing log entries, plugin hooks, OAI sets updates. The existing UpdateTotalIssuesOnCirc syspref provides real-time updates on checkout but is disabled by default because it triggers this same expensive ModBiblio pipeline on every checkout. Bug 36474 improved things by skipping unchanged records, but every changed record still pays the full cost. ## Proposal Stop storing totalissues in the MARC record. Instead: 1. UpdateTotalIssues becomes a lightweight DB-only operation: just UPDATE biblioitems SET totalissues = ? WHERE biblionumber = ? plus queue a search index update. No MARC parsing, no ModBiblio. 2. Inject 942$0 at index time via Koha::Biblio::metadata_record: Add an embed_total_issues parameter (following the existing embed_items pattern). Both search engine indexers call metadata_record to get the MARC before indexing. The value gets injected from biblioitems.totalissues on the fly, just like items are embedded today. The stored MARC in biblio_metadata stays clean. Both the ES indexer (_get_record) and Zebra's rebuild_zebra.pl -d (which already pre-processes records before sending to Zebra) would pass this flag. 3. UpdateTotalIssuesOnCirc becomes cheap enough to enable by default: A DB column update plus a reindex queue entry per checkout is trivial. The Elasticsearch indexer already batches indexing tasks efficiently. 4. update_totalissues.pl is simplified: It recalculates biblioitems.totalissues from statistics/items data and triggers batch reindexing. It no longer touches MARC records at all. It should also gain a --commit option to control batch sizes for the reindex step. ## Expected impact - Real-time totalissues updates on checkout with negligible performance cost - update_totalissues.pl runtime reduced from hours to minutes (DB updates + batch reindex vs per-record ModBiblio) - No more MARC record churn for a derived counter value - Reduced action_logs noise (no cataloguing log entries for counter updates) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 43692] New: Update Databases Selectively (Not Entire Row)
by bugzilla-daemon＠bugs.koha-community.org 30 Sep '26

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=43692 Bug ID: 43692 Summary: Update Databases Selectively (Not Entire Row) Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: unspecified 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: trevor.diamond(a)mainlib.org QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org Target Milestone: --- When items and holds are updated, the update command contains the entire row of information. Different processing/internet speeds means that and item update can go into effect seconds after it is checked out. The result is that the item is updated to the status it was when the modifying staff person clicked "save" and not the status after checkout. So an item will be checked out but have a NULL onloan value. The lifetime issues count and Datelastseen will revert to their old values. Similarly, when updating holds priority, the entire set of holds is sent for the entire bib record. Instead of just updating the priority, the entire hold row is sent. A patron might update holds on a bib. While the updates are processing an item is checked in and a hold put on the hold shelf. After the updates finish processing, the old data is restored for that hold. So there is an item on the shelf with a hold slip, but Koha thinks the hold is still looking for an item. There is no specific hold status for an item, so the item appears available. The item will appear on the picklist the next time the staff look (often for the same patron that it is already on the hold shelf for). If it's an especially popular title, you might have patrons entering the library hoping to find the copy on the shelf (a copy that is on the holds shelf, not up for general patrons to find). Both of these problems occur due to inefficient methods of updating table data. Instead, only the relevant information should be sent/updated in the database (example: only update priority and don't overrwrite at all if the priority is now 0). As Koha grows more sophisticated and tables get larger, this type of data updating will become more and more valuable in letting larger library / library cooperatives function without errors that mystify front line staff (who often aren't aware of activity happening in other libraries or on the opposite side of the building). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

[Bug 43691] New: Baskets can be created for inactive vendors

30 Sep '26

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=43691 Bug ID: 43691 Summary: Baskets can be created for inactive vendors Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: 26.05 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: trivial Priority: P5 - low Component: Acquisitions Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: sbrown(a)bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org Target Milestone: --- It should not be possible to create baskets for inactive vendors. Nothing can be added to these baskets (so no order can actually be placed, which is accurate in the manual), but it may be confusing for staff to be able to create a basket without the ability to add anything to it. (It appears that this was addressed with bugs 12054 and 8666 but is currently possible in 26.05.03 , 25.11.06, and 25.05.08, which is all of the versions I'm able to test.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
