unimarc to marc21
by Giuseppe Angilella 18 Jul '14

18 Jul '14

Hi, I wonder whether it is possible to filter unimarc records retrieved from a Z39.50 server, and convert them "on the fly" into marc21 (and vice versa). Record_transform, a metaproxy module, claims to be able to perform such a conversion, but I couldn't figure out how to use it in conjuction with Koha. Many thanks, Giuseppe.

Bugzilla fields: assignee and complexity
by Marcel de Rooy 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Hi all, Some/many people do not really care about filling assignee or patch complexity when submitting patches to Koha. In the process of signoff or QA, it is helpful to see rightaway the author of the report and its supposed complexity (size). When glancing through the queues, I am inclined to favor patches with that information filled. If you agree, please enter that information too. Thanks! Marcel

RFC: Koha::Borrower::Pictures
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Hi, for bug 12578 [1] I was thinking of adding a 'timestamp' field to the 'patronimages' table. And got into the task of rewriting the CRUD methods for patron pictures into the Koha namespace, as an excercise for using DBIx in a real life example. Should I consider the use case where the library/user might want to attach more than one picture to a patron and choose a default? Even though I won't implement a UI for that, I can consider it in advance.

by Arun kumar 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Hello, We are working on various development pointers in Acquisition module to customize it according to our workflow Placing orders in KOHA 3.12 is vague to our organisation its consuming procedure for placing orders which can be acheived with minimal workflow i have crafted the workflow to meet our requirements, which includes ordering form SUGGESTION MANAGEMENT itself with an hyperlink from Accepted tab and passing suggestionid and biblionumber directly to neworderempty.pl further modifying this file with a new form with vendor and basket details and creating a basket with basketno and bookseller id and other credentials passed on to addorder.pl my question is that how do we create a new basket at neworderempty.pl and passing its details to place an order in addorder.pl, i have studied the code for creation of basket in basketheader.pl, and followed the same i don't understand where i went wrong My Sincere Appreciation towards any pointers, thanks in advance Regards Arunkumar Project Assistant National Institute of Oceanography

Jenkins tests update
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Yesterday I updated the master tasks script for launching unit tests. I did it so more tests are run (which were currently ommited). It looks like this: export TEST_QA=1 export JUNIT_OUTPUT_FILE='junit_output.xml' PERL5OPT='-MDevel::Cover' prove \ --timer --harness=TAP::Harness::JUnit \ t/ \ t/db_dependent/ \ t/db_dependent/Acquisition \ t/db_dependent/Circulation \ t/db_dependent/Holds \ t/db_dependent/Koha \ t/db_dependent/Labels \ t/db_dependent/Members \ t/db_dependent/Record \ t/db_dependent/Reports \ t/db_dependent/Search \ t/db_dependent/Serials \ xt/author/icondirectories.t \ xt/author/podcorrectness.t \ xt/author/translatable-templates.t \ xt/author/valid-templates.t \ xt/permissions.t \ xt/tt_valid.t \ xt/yaml_valid.t \ xt/single_quotes.t The difference with the previous is the addition of several (not all) t/db_dependent subdirectories. We cannot run prove recursively because not everything are unit tests. RMaints: If you agree with the change, I'll propagate (manually) this change to the stable branches tasks. Also, if anyone finds something still missing just let me know. For instance I haven't spent time on looking at t/ subdirectories.

The schema of DBIx::Class is not up-to-date
by Yohann Dufour 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

Good afternoon, As you know, I'm working on DBIx::Class, and I realized that the DBIx::Class schema (in Koha/Schema/) is not up-to-date with the current database structure (installer/data/mysql/kohastructure.sql) which is really used by the modules. The last update of the DBIx::Class schema was the 2013-10-14, and some changes has been done since this day. Thus, it is problematic to use DBIx::Class if some differences exist. What do you think about updating the DBIx::Class in order to link it with the current database schema and trying to find a way to update automatically the DBIx::Class schema at each change in the database structure. I joined with this email the list of the differences between the DBIx::Class schema and the current database schema. Yohann

Ajax datatables. http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11703

Hello QA - http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11703 We just had a few little follow up's on the QA and we've completed those about a month ago and need a little QA follow up. They do apply cleanly currently. Anything I can do to help encourage someone to look at those last 2 follows and passed them for QA? I'd love to get this into 3.16.1 or 3.16.2 ASAP. Thanks, Brendan -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brendan A. Gallagher ByWater Solutions CEO
