Koha Hackfest in Berlin?
by Mirko Tietgen 07 Jan '16

07 Jan '16

Hello there, European (and other) Koha devs, I am considering hosting a Koha hackfest in Berlin/ Germany next year. It is not supposed to be a counter event to the Hackfest in Marseille nor the Kohacon, but an additional option to meet and work together. It could maybe take place July 2016 (very preliminary date for very preliminary planning), maybe 3 days or the whole week. Before I spend more time fantasizing about it, I'd like your opinion… - do you think it is a good idea (and you would consider joining)? - do you think it is a good idea (but you know you won't join)? - do you think it is not a good idea (given there is a Hackfest in Marseille and Kohacon already, or for other reasons)? - do you think you would have to decide between Berlin and Marseille? - do you think something completely different? No hard feelings if you say Kohacon + Marseille is enough, that would be very valuable feedback. For obvious reasons I would love to hear opinions from Europe (positive or negative), but if coming to Berlin is an option for people from more distant places, I'd love to hear that too. Cheers, Mirko -- Mirko Tietgen mirko(a)abunchofthings.net http://koha.abunchofthings.net http://meinkoha.de

DOM indexing performance
by Fridolin SOMERS 11 Dec '15

11 Dec '15

Hie, We have on a machine big performance issues since indexing was changed from GRS1 to DOM. I have made some benchmarks, looks like indexing time is more than twice longer. When there is a lot of circulation, the indexing of zebraqueue can take more than a minute. We know that this machine is not powerful regarding RAM and disk, but it was enough until now. Does anyone have the same problem ? The point is not to come back to obsolete GRS1, but is there a way to optimize DOM indexing ? My tests shows facets indexing does not change a lot. -- Fridolin SOMERS Biblibre - Pôles support et système fridolin.somers(a)biblibre.com

Zebra, Query Parsing, Search, All the things
by David Cook 08 Dec '15

08 Dec '15

Hi all: I was getting 0 results when I should've been getting 78 results with the following query: Host-item:Criminology and criminal justice : an international journal I looked in the Zebra logs, and noticed that it was being transformed into the following: @not @and @attr 1=1033 Criminology @and @and @and @and @and criminal justice = an international journal @attr 1=9011 1 If we decompose the RPN, we'll see that it's basically saying: (Host-item=Crimology and ((((criminal and justice) and = ) and international) and journal )) not Suppression=1 The problem is that "=" is going to return 0 results, so the "and" will always be 0. The way to remedy this problem is to add quotes around our Host-item "value": Host-item:"Criminology and criminal justice an international journal" This will produce the following RPN query, which returns 78 results: @not @attr 1=1033 "Criminology and criminal justice = an international journal" @attr 1=9011 1 As far as I can tell, the = symbol is ignored. You can remove it or substitute another symbol and it'll still return the same number of results. Although it looks like using * for truncation doesn't work in double quotation marks... I suppose that's because it's already part of a term so you can't really translate it into RPN separately. I notice sometimes we strip out double quotation marks from queries and sometimes we add them in. we should probably do something consistent.

Problem with Holds queue
by akafortes 29 Oct '15

29 Oct '15

Hello everyone, I have a problem with the Holds queue. If I request a hold on an item from opac, I can see the hold status as pending, but when I go to the Staff client in Circulation>Holds queue I'm always getting a "No items found" result. If I check in that item I get notified that there is a hold on this item. I can also see the hold if I go to the profile of the patron that made the hold, or from the display of that item I can see there is a hold on the item as well. I think I saw somewhere that I have to put in cron a script about the holds queue, but since my setup of koha is done using the packages (3.20) shouldn't that be already be configured? -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Problem-with-Holds-queue-tp5859174.html Sent from the Koha-devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Bug 1993 - Task Scheduler Needs Re-write
by Julian Maurice 27 Oct '15

27 Oct '15

Hi, Comments in bug 1993 state that using 'at' for task scheduling is bad for security. Galen suggests (comment 34) to use a DB table to store a list of jobs, and check periodically this list with a script in crontab. I would like to know if someone is already working on something like that (I didn't find anything in Bugzilla). If not, do you agree with Galen's proposal as a replacement for the task scheduler ? Do you have better ideas ? -- Julian Maurice <julian.maurice(a)biblibre.com> BibLibre

Font Awesome pushed
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 27 Oct '15

27 Oct '15

Hi everyone, I've just pushed bugs 13696 and 14915, which introduce Font Awesome on the codebase, and makes Koha use it on the Staff interface, respectively. Please keep your eyes open to small glitches on icons in the staff interface and fill the corresponding bugs. Also, if you own patches awaiting for inclusion, please note that this patchset has introduced silly and really easy to fix conflicts. -- Tomás Cohen Arazi Theke Solutions (http://theke.io) ✆ +54 9351 3513384 GPG: B76C 6E7C 2D80 551A C765 E225 0A27 2EA1 B2F3 C15F
