State of Elasticsearch support in Koha
by Mirko Tietgen 09 Jun '17

09 Jun '17

Hi everybody, is there any kind of summary regarding the state of Elasticsearch support in Koha at the moment and maybe a roadmap for things that are missing? I'd like to offer the koha-elasticsearch meta package for Koha 17.05, but as Elasticsearch support is not ready for production (as far as I know), it should be accompanied by an overview of what to expect (features and bugs) to not raise false expectations. Any information would be appreciated. Cheers, Mirko -- Mirko Tietgen mirko(a)abunchofthings.net http://koha.abunchofthings.net http://meinkoha.de

[QA] QA sprint needed
by Jonathan Druart 06 Jun '17

06 Jun '17

Hi QAers, I really would like to see these 3 big works pushed ASAP in the beginning of the release cycle: * Bug 17829 - Move GetMember to Koha::Patron It will be easy to remove lot of code from controllers and make them less errors prone. I have some patches already written, for instance all the attributes of a patron are no longuer pass individually to the template. The patron object is passed everywhere and that's all! See this graph: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/showdependencygraph.cgi?id=17829 Everything is in the QA queue! * TT syntax for notices This is just the first step, so please make it move forward in order to have something working in 6 months! See everything under 18007: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/showdependencygraph.cgi?id=18007 * Bug 17600 - Standardize the EXPORT Needing QA we need it ASAP to know if it is the way to go and catch errors. In addition of these 3 works, there are more than one hundred bug reports waiting for QA. Cheers, Jonathan

Elastic search demo interface
by BOUIS Sonia 05 Jun '17

05 Jun '17

Hello everybody, First of all, congratulations Kyle for the 17.05 koha release ! I'm wondering if someone have planned to propose an interface demo (staff and public) on Koha 17.05 with Elastic Search turn on. It would be great :) It would help librarians that have heard about Elastic Search for one year to make it more real and to evaluate if it could be relevant for them to switch from zebra to elastic search. And I have 2 more questions about elastic search : - Is it compatible with unimarc ? - Is it usable with non-latin character ? Thanks in advance, Cheers Sonia BOUIS Responsable du Service des application documentaires BIBLIOTHÈQUES UNIVERSITAIRES Bibliothèque de la Manufacture UNIVERSITÉ JEAN MOULIN LYON 3 1C AVENUE DES FRÈRES LUMIÈRE CS 78242 69372 LYON CEDEX 08 ligne directe : +33 (0)4 78 78 79 03 http://bu.univ-lyon3.fr<http://bu.univ-lyon3.fr/> L'Université Jean Moulin est membre fondateur de l'Université de Lyon

Clean HTML validations....
by Mark Tompsett 05 Jun '17

05 Jun '17

Greetings, I noticed a couple bugs fix HTML on a couple things, but not all. In fact, I hit a stall on one bug, so I just removed myself from it. However, the problem still haunts me. Is there a community acceptable way to fix HTML validation of something like: <option value=""></option>? This happens in many places, and when someone fixes a missing </form> or </div> tag, my tendency is to see what other HTML creeps would be easy. Some are, but this one is not. Possibilities: <option value=””> </option> <option value=””>Enter something meaningful</option> (where the phrase is descriptive of what is expected, or what nothing really means in this case) Thoughts, feedback, updated coding guidelines? GPML, Mark Tompsett
