marc_tag_structure: Some clean up is needed?
by Mark Tompsett 19 Feb '17

19 Feb '17

Greetings, I was looking to sign off bug 18111, which looks good by the way, and then I noticed that ods and xml exports were floody. So, I was pondering how to fix them, because the code is reminiscent of MARC indicators and not authorised_value or framework code. So, I put in a condition to catch things and make it not floody, but then my exports were strange. Some had ‘#’ and some had ‘’ in the authorised_values. This, of course, didn’t match the CSV patch in bug 17389. And regardless of format, I would expect the same values in the columns. So I thought, “Why are some #’s and some blank?” Turns out marc_tag_structure has both NULL and empty strings in the authorised_value field. I thought to myself, “Where did this get set?” I had recently dropped and recreated my database, so it had to be an installer file. Well, it turns out that installer/data/mysql/en/marcflavour/marc21/mandatory/marc21_framework_DEFAULT.sql has some NULL and some empty strings. So, first question: is that right? So, then I thought, “Okay, so where is this # being processed?” I found it around line 1128 in C4/ImportExportFramework.pm which reads: $data = '' if ($data eq '#'); So, second question: shouldn’t an empty string have been put out in the first place? To which I thought, “Bah! It works. It’s ugly and gross and should be refactored somehow, but I don’t know which way, so I’ll just leave it.” So, last question: if you were going to refactor, what would your plan of attack be? This includes choosing not to refactor as an option. GPML, Mark Tompsett

Sending email on behalf of customers
by Magnus Enger 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

Hi! I run Koha for several customers, and a number of them have email enabled. The sender of these emails is set to be the email of the library in question, e.g. library(a)example.org. Now, the problem is that services like GMail and Hotmail are not accepting these emails, because they see them as non-legitimate, in the sense that they are sent from some random server somewhere on the internet, that is not in any way associated with example.org. And they are right, of course! I *am* sending email on behalf of libraries from some random server on the internet. So, the question is: how to get around this? I see two possibilities: 1. Work with the sysadmins of the organizations of each library and have them include my servers in their "published lists of trusted servers" (I am thinking of stuff like SPF, PTR, OpenDKIM etc - I have not gotten my head around all of the details.) This would entail talking to lots of different sysadmins (if there is one) at lots of different organizations = lots of work... 2. So I was thinking about a second optoin - paying my way out, through some service like the ones listed here: https://zapier.com/learn/email-marketing/best-transactional-email-sending-s… My thinking is that GMail and Hotmail would "think" like "hm, this email says it comes from example.org, but it originated from some random server. BUT it was sent through ServiceX, which you have to pay to use, so it is probably legit". But I have no idea if GMail and Hotmail works like that at all. Does anyone else have a clue about this? Or some other way to solve the problem? Best regards, Magnus Enger Libriotech

Edit button in circulation rule

Hello all, Is that normal that, by editing a circulation rule : 1) You can change the patron category and the Item type 2) If you do it, this will create a new rule instead of editing the old one. Kind regards Baptiste Wojtkowski
