staff and OPAC search limits?
by Paul 09 Nov '12

09 Nov '12

Does anyone know if there's a limit to both staff and OPAC searches where an underscore is used in the LLOC items.location ($shelflocations) compared to a wildcard, e.g. from staff advanced search shelving location for box_rr42: No results match your search for 'location,wrdl: box_rr42' in NMA Catalog. 7 result(s) found for 'location,wrdl: *rr42' in NMA Catalog. In a general "search catalogue" (staff and OPAC) for box_rr42, the problem is that it finds 96 (including, but not limited to, the correct 7) as it pulls up boxes box_rr40, box_rr41 .... box_rr49. Also, presentation problem, the OPAC does *not* give the shelving location, even in the MARC view the html box is empty. Has this last point been recorded as a bug (I have a vague memory of something like this)? Thanks and regards - paul

making facets editable ?
by Mathieu Saby 09 Nov '12

09 Nov '12

Hello Currently, facets are defined in perl code. This is not good for unimarc libraries : a recent improvement is specific to Marc21 and could not been transposed in Unimarc, because the information is not encoded in the same field in all unimarc libraries. I'm referring to http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4255 "Add item type to facet list" : there is no universal Unimarc field for "item type" :-( The solution could be a system preference for this peculiar facet. But if a development is needed I would prefer a more generic one, to make all facets fully editable, so that each library could define its own facets matching the (sub)fields of its choice, without editing perl files. Do you think it would be a good idea ? I think there is 2 way for doing this : - create a configuration file (yaml ?) - create a (big) syspref Which choice would be the best regarding performances (and other criteria I did not think of...) ?

Character normalization of Koha
by Vimal Kumar V. 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

Dear Friends, I have doubt, If we install Koha using Ubuntu packages from Koha repo, what is the default character normalization? chr or icu? How can we check the charecter normalisation of a koha installation? How can we change the charecter normalisation after installation? -- Vimal Kumar V.

Global Bug Squashing Weekend starts Friday!
by Owen Leonard 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

It was decided at the IRC general meeting yesterday that this weekend would be a Global Bug Squashing weekend, starting Friday November 9th and running through Monday November 12 in whatever time zone you choose. Not sure how you can help? Jump on the IRC channel ( http://koha-community.org/get-involved/irc/ ) and we will help you get started! And with the sandboxes provided by BibLibre all you need in order to join the fun is a web browser! http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/2012-11-09_Global_bug_squashing_day To those submitting patches, I ask again that every patch come with a test plan outlining: 1. What the problem is. 2. How to reproduce the problem. 3. What the patch does to solve the problem. 4. What (if any) configuration steps need to be taken after the patch is applied. 5. What steps to take to test that the patch is working correctly. And finally, even if you can't submit a patch or test a patch you can simply TEST! Kick Koha's tires and see if you can break something! -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
