Where is the BIG RED WARNING button?
by Jonathan Druart 31 Aug '17

31 Aug '17

Hi devs, I started the discussion during today's dev meeting. As RM I realise that I need a big red warning button to push to trigger help when there is something urgent to do. The last problem has been the already famous checkin issues (see bug 18966 and ancestors). They were marked as "blocker" for the last 2 months and affected all the stable releases. I tried to alert you several times but I did not really receive the attention needed. There are several ways to help you to know easily what is waiting for urgent attention: - The dashboard displays a "bug tracker health status" which shows blocker, critical and major bugs (http://dashboard.koha-community.org) - This section can be easily displayed on your own bug tracker using http://dashboard.koha-community.org/bz_status - I report on the kanban the tasks waiting for help, there is also a red "important" tag to highlight some. The columns list the bugs in the different queues with the most importants on top ( https://tree.taiga.io/project/joubu-koha-rm-1711/kanban) - The "what's on in koha-devel" email list the bugs that are waiting for love I am not sure what I can do more to match your workflow, and I do not think I should propose something else. I really would like to avoid individual and repeated pings. I do not provide paid support to any customers and then, I do not understand why I care more about blocker and critical than paid support companies. If you do not think it is important, why should I? :) This discussion has to be done and answers to be given, I do not plan to push anything "big" until we have a solution. Indeed I do not want to take the risk to face another situation like that. Cheers, Jonathan

Putting Koha into Docker...
by Mark Tompsett 25 Aug '17

25 Aug '17

Greetings, I’ve been tasked to dockerize our Koha installation, and I noticed https://github.com/digibib/koha-docker I also noticed it said “www.koha.org” on https://github.com/digibib/koha-docker/wiki even though the code says, “echo "deb http://debian.koha-community.org/koha stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/koha.list” on https://github.com/digibib/koha-docker/blob/master/Dockerfile So, I’m confused if this is usable for production and it is is Koha or LibLime. Feedback, thoughts much appreciated. GPML, Mark Tompsett

AUTO_INCREMENT fix - prevent data lost
by Jonathan Druart 09 Aug '17

09 Aug '17

Hi devs, Please review and test https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/DBMS_auto_increment_fix I have added a ref from the Koha on Debian wiki page https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian#Further_Configuration It sounds like I should add it somewhere more visible, but do not find where, any ideas? See also bug 18931 where I would like to add a warning on the about page if data are corrupted. Please review quickly, that way we can share the tips on the general mailing list. Cheers, Jonathan

Expected behaviour if itemtype does not exist
by Jonathan Druart 08 Aug '17

08 Aug '17

Hi devs, Since bug 17843 I get errors if the item type (items.itype or biblioitems.itemtype depending on the pref item_level_itypes) does not exist as an item type (table itemtypes, filled by Administration › Item types administration). The error (Can't call method "translated_description" on an undefined value) appears because we call a method on an undefined value. As this is a configuration issue (right?) I think we should add an alert from the updatedatabase.pl script, then a warning on the about page. Would that be enough or should we handle the problematic case anyway (i.e. call the method only if the item type exists in DB)? Cheers, Jonathan

by Rodrigo Santellan 31 Jul '17

31 Jul '17

Hi, I have troubles with retrieving the data from the items. On my db I have this on the table *biblioitems* field *marcxml* <datafield tag="952" ind1=" " ind2=" "> <subfield code="1">5563</subfield> <subfield code="2">0</subfield> <subfield code="b">CEN</subfield> <subfield code="c">c</subfield> <subfield code="d">CEN</subfield> <subfield code="e">Beltrame Regina</subfield> <subfield code="f">40938</subfield> <subfield code="g">Silva, Virginia</subfield> <subfield code="h">Silva, Virginia</subfield> <subfield code="i">CV</subfield> <subfield code="j">1609</subfield> <subfield code="k">IMPR</subfield> <subfield code="l">CZ</subfield> <subfield code="o">302.23 GAN ej.3</subfield> <subfield code="p">C018633</subfield> <subfield code="r">117.50</subfield> <subfield code="s">0</subfield> <subfield code="t">8.33</subfield> <subfield code="u">2130</subfield> <subfield code="v">20070725</subfield> <subfield code="x">20011214</subfield> <subfield code="y">0</subfield> <subfield code="z">20020124</subfield> </datafield> The call on: *cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/additem.pl?op=edititem&biblionumber=1593&itemnumber=2130 <http://additem.pl?op=edititem&biblionumber=1593&itemnumber=2130>* Make the following call sequence: - $itemrecord = C4::Items::GetMarcItem($biblionumber,$itemnumber); - my $itemrecord = GetItem($itemnumber); - $item = Koha::Items->find( $itemnumber ); - Item2Marc($itemrecord,$biblionumber); - my $itemmarc = TransformKohaToMarc($mungeditem); For what I get the GetItem retrieve the stored data in items table. Then the Item2Marc populate the marc fields. I put a Dumper on the method Item2Marc and I have: $VAR1 = '================Item2Marc======================='; $VAR1 = bless( { '_warnings' => [], '_leader' => ' a ', '_fields' => [ bless( { '_warnings' => [], '_ind1' => ' ', '_tag' => '952', '_ind2' => ' ', '_is_control_field' => 0, '_subfields' => [ '4', '0', '8', 'IMPR', 'b', 'CEN', 'd', 'CEN', 'o', '302.23 GAN', 'p', 'C07908', 'r', '180.00', 's', '0', 'u', '2132', 'v', '2005-05-14', 'y', '0', 'z', '2017-07-28 14:13:48' ] }, 'MARC::Field' ) ] }, 'MARC::Record' ); $VAR1 = '================Item2Marc======================='; I'm missing some fields, like 952^2, 952^1, 952^c, 952^e, 952^f .... Where is my data is lost? Where should I look for it? Regards.
