XSLT and superfluous "xmlns" attributes
by Magnus Enger 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

Dear Community! I'm having some XSLT trouble... I have some OAI-PMH records available here: http://sksk.bibkat.no/cgi-bin/koha/oai.pl?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=m… The National Library of Norway wants to harvest these records, but they have some very specific requirements, namely that the code for the owning library should be in 850 and that 001 should match the record identifier used in the OAI records identifier. To achieve this, I'm taking advantage of the OAI-PMH:ConfFile syspref, to specify an XSLT stylesheet to transform the records on the fly. Here is the relevant part of the ConfFile: format: biblioteksok: metadataPrefix: biblioteksok metadataNamespace: http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim http://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml/schema/MARC21slim schema: http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim http://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml/schema/MARC21slim.xsd xsl_file: /home/magnus/koha/biblioteksok.xslt and here is the stylesheet in /home/magnus/koha/biblioteksok.xslt: <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:marc="http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim" xmlns:items="http://www.koha-community.org/items" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:package="info:srw/extension/13/package-v1.0" > <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/> <xsl:template match="node()|@*"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="marc:controlfield[@tag=001]"/> <xsl:template match="marc:datafield[@tag=850]"/> <xsl:template match="marc:leader"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy>  <xsl:if test="not(marc:controlfield[@tag=001])"> <xsl:text> </xsl:text><xsl:element name="controlfield"> <xsl:attribute name="tag">001</xsl:attribute> <xsl:value-of select="//marc:datafield[@tag=999]/marc:subfield[@code='c']/text()"/> </xsl:element> </xsl:if> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="marc:datafield[@tag=999]"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy>  <xsl:if test="not(marc:controlfield[@tag=850])"> <xsl:text> </xsl:text> <xsl:element name="datafield"> <xsl:attribute name="ind1"><xsl:text> </xsl:text></xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="ind2"><xsl:text> </xsl:text></xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="tag">850</xsl:attribute> <xsl:element name="subfield"> <xsl:attribute name="code">a</xsl:attribute> <xsl:text>NO-1120127</xsl:text> </xsl:element> </xsl:element> </xsl:if> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> And here is the result of applying the stylesheet: http://sksk.bibkat.no/cgi-bin/koha/oai.pl?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=b… I was quite pleased with the result myself, but now the National library is complaining that the transformed records do not validate against http://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml/schema/MARC21slim.xsd and that the empty "xmlns" attribute should be removed from the following elements: <controlfield xmlns="" tag="001">93</controlfield> <datafield xmlns="" ind1=" " ind2=" " tag="850"> I have no idea how to achieve that. Does anyone else have a clue? Best regards, Magnus Enger libriotech.no

check in /check out fails
by Samuel Desseaux 17 Jan '13

17 Jan '13

Hi, Upon trying to check items out to a patron this message appears: -- Software error: Can't call method "subfield" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 3008. The item gets checked out (i.e. it appears in the list of items checked out to the client when you go return to the checkout page). The same happens with check in. The items get checked in, but Koha stops at the error message. What can i do? best, samuel

changing a status to "need signed off'"
by Mathieu Saby 16 Jan '13

16 Jan '13

Hello I made a followup for http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8946, so I want to mark it "need signed-off" but I can't. The bug was already pushed to master. Maybe should I have made a new bug for my followup ? Regards, M.

RM and QA roles (important!)
by Jared Camins-Esakov 14 Jan '13

14 Jan '13

Good morning. I thought about using the subject "In search of lost time," but I decided that was a bad idea given how few people actually manage to get through Proust. I am writing with a discussion question for the community. According to the dashboard, at the moment we have 120 bugs with the status "Needs signoff" (25% of these are classified as "bugs" instead of "enhancements" or "new features") and 94 bugs with the status "Signed off" (50% bugs). 2 bugs have the status "Passed QA" and are waiting for feedback from their authors before I push them. There are two lessons we can learn from these numbers: 1) if everyone currently involved with Koha made a commitment to test two patches in January, we could get through the backlog for 3.12 2) we have a QA bottleneck. Please consider lesson 1, but this e-mail is actually about lesson 2. QA is an inherently time-consuming process, and the pool for QAers is much smaller than that for signing off. I expect that as we approach the deadlines for 3.12 the number of bugs awaiting QA will decrease. Unfortunately, the amount of time I have to deal with those bugs will not increase, even though I am spending somewhat less time than I planned dealing with RM duties this month. So, I come to the community with a question: what would people think of me using that time to QA bugs (as opposed to enhancements/new features) that I was not involved in the authorship or signing off of? I would prefer not to do this, but after a month and a half as RM it seems to me that this might be in the best interest of the community and the best way to release a stable and feature-full 3.12. QAing signed off patches would naturally take a much lower priority for me than addressing patches that have already passed QA, but every patch I QA is a patch that our overworked QA team does not have to QA. Thoughts? Also, on a somewhat-related subject, I will be away from January 25-February 4. Keep that in mind if you intend to have any questions that only the RM can answer at the end of the month.

Dear Koha kommunitarians, I'm harvesting news for this month's newsletter. Please send me by the 20th anything you think your fellow community members might like to know about. "News" can be as short as a sentence or as long as a paper. I especially encourage you to send me a line or two for the gossip/society column about what you're currently working on. And if you know of a go-live not announced on the list, please be sure to let me know about it. Thanks, Daniel Grobani
