Can't access OPAC
by akafortes 06 Oct '15

06 Oct '15

Hello everyone, I've followed the instructions here <http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages> and I have installed koha. For some time now I've been playing around and modifying things from the Staff client. Yesterday I wanted to check out some things in the OPAC but I couldn't access it. I have set up my intranet to work on the 8080 port and the OPAC on the 80 port. The IP of my server is 192.168.1.10, so Intranet:192.168.1.10:8080 OPAC: 192.168.1.10:80 (or not port number since this is the default http port) When I hit the OPAC IP, I get the default apache2 site for some reason. I have followed all the instruction given on the wiki. I've also tried it before, on a testing environment and I could access he OPAC without any problem. -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Can-t-access-OPAC-tp5855892.html Sent from the Koha-devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Dates and Zebra
by David Cook 06 Oct '15

06 Oct '15

Hey all: I was just adding an alternate patch for http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14861, and I started thinking a bit about date indexes in Zebra. and how we're not using them as effectively as we could. For MARC21, we only actually have one date index and that's for "Date-of-acquisition", even though we store lots of other ISO-formatted dates such as "datelastseen", "replacementpricedate", "datelastborrowed". Technically "Date/time-last-modified" is in ISO format, although we'd have to test how Zebra handles the time element of the string. and we might want to transform it into the extended ISO format (e.g. YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss) which is used elsewhere. "date-entered-on-file" could also be transformed although it has the Y2K issue. That said, I don't think these fields are particularly popular. I noticed that UNIMARC indexes "items.onloan" which MARC21 refers to as 952$q. That might be an interesting one. UNIMARC indexes that as a "date index". Provided that the indexes are up-to-date, you could quickly search for all records with items due on a particular date. and after bug 14861 is pushed. you could also search for date ranges. Anyway, just a thought. I'm not sure how many people are familiar with ccl.properties, biblio-zebra-indexdefs.xsl, bib1.att, default.idx, and the rest of the Zebra configuration files, but I've included an explanation at the end of this file regarding the MARC21 Zebra configuration. -- Bib1.att defines mappings between numbers and index names. The index names are used both during indexing (and optionally during searching/retrieval). The numbers are used just for searching/retrieval. For example: att 4 Title ccl.properties creates mappings between user-defined "CCL qualifiers" and the Bib1.att "use" attribute numbers. It also can create additional aliases for "CCL qualifiers". For example: Title 1=4 ti Title In this case, "Title" is the "CCL qualifier" and "ti" is an alias for "Title". 1 stands for "Use attribute" and 4 stands for "att 4" from Bib1.att. biblio-zebra-indexdefs.xsl parses MARCXML records and transforms them into a format that Zebra uses for indexing. It uses the "index names" from the Bib1.att file for this purpose. Here's a snippet from that file for MARC21: <xslo:template mode="index_subfields" match="marc:datafield[@tag='245']"> <xslo:for-each select="marc:subfield"> <xslo:if test="contains('a', @code)"> <z:index name="Title-cover:w Title-cover:p Title-cover:s Title:w Title:p Title:s"> <xslo:value-of select="."/> </z:index> </xslo:if> </xslo:for-each> As we can see, field '245' subfield 'a' gets stored in the "Title-cover" and "Title" indexes. But they also have those ":w", ":p", and ":s" bits added. Those refer to "register types". "w" is the word register, "p" is the phrase register, and "s" is the sort register. There are others which you can find in "default.idx". There others include "n" for numeric, "d" for date, and "y" for year. These "registers" are mapped to Bib-1 "Structure" attributes. These mappings can be found at http://www.indexdata.com/zebra/doc/querymodel-zebra.html#querymodel-pqf-apt- mapping. So if you want to search the "date" register for a particular index, you'll need to form a CCL query that uses "st-date-normalized" since it's mapped to "4=5" (ie structure attribute number 5), since this is the structure that is mapped to the "date" register in Zebra. Typically, the default structure in Zebra is "phrase", although Koha uses some query building "magic" to often use the "word-list" structure, which is mapped to both the "word" and "phrase" registers. Thus, "acqdate, st-date-normalized = 2015-09-01" will search the "Date-of-acquisition" index (since "acqdate" is just an alias for the "Date-of-acquisition CCL qualifier which is mapped to the "Date-of-acquisition" index, and st-date-normalized is mapped to the "date" register). The patch for 14861 will also make it so that you can search ISO date ranges such as: "acqdate, st-date-normalized = 2015-09-01 - 2015-09-30" or "acqdate, st-date-normalized = 2014 - 2015" or even "acqdate, st-date-normalized = 2014-01 - 2014-03" . Note that the whitespace between the digital and the hyphen are significant.

Bootstrap 2.2.2 in the staff client
by David Cook 05 Oct '15

05 Oct '15

I was just looking to use ".text-success" in the staff client, when I noticed that it didn't appear to exist in bootstrap.min.css. even though it should. You can find it here in Bootstrap 2.2.2: https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/2.2.2/css/bootstrap.min.css But not in the version that we have in the staff client: http://koha:8080/intranet-tmpl/lib/bootstrap/bootstrap.min.css I'm guessing that during the integration of Bootstrap into the staff client that some things just didn't work, so the file was pared back? Perhaps Owen can speak to that one? David Cook Systems Librarian Prosentient Systems 72/330 Wattle St, Ultimo, NSW 2007

found = Null in CancelReserve
by BOUIS Sonia 04 Oct '15

04 Oct '15

Hi, We are working on hold stuff at the moment and we have a lot of questions ! We want to provide statistics on canceled holds to know if they haven't been picked-up as waiting for the borrower or if the expiration_date on hold have been passed. But if we can see if a hold is waiting in found column of reserves table, this information disappeared from old_reserves table. In C4/Reserves.pm, there's this SQL request in CancelReserve : UPDATE reserves SET cancellationdate = now(), found = Null, priority = 0 WHERE reserve_id = ? I'm not a specialist, but I wonder why found is set to Null when cancelling and why we can't keep this information in old_reserves ? Thanks in advance for any explanation.

Add rule for no subroutines in PL scripts
by David Cook 02 Oct '15

02 Oct '15

Hi again: I also noticed there's no rule forbidding subroutine definitions in PL scripts. I thought that we had a rule against that as well.

We impose this rule during the testing/QA process, but it's not actually documented. What do we need to do to add a rule? Bring this up at a meeting? http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Coding_Guidelines David Cook Systems Librarian Prosentient Systems 72/330 Wattle St, Ultimo, NSW 2007
