On-site checkouts
by Rodrigo Santellan 11 Sep '17

11 Sep '17

Hi, I have some items on the library that are only for using on the library. The difference with those items is that you can place a hold on them to use them during the day and also you can place a hold on them and checkout for using on the weekends and during the night (you check it out at last hour of the day and have to return it on first hour of next day). For what I can figure out is that I should create a new item type with different circulation rules, but I don't have a way to warn the librarian that the item is of restricted type. Is there a way to achieve it? Regards and thanks for all the help in advance!!

TestBuilder usage, recommendation
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 11 Sep '17

11 Sep '17

Hi everyone, on my QA-related tasks I've found many of us use TestBuilder to generate random data for our tests (YAY!). I just wanted to remind you that TestBuilder can now return Koha::Object-derived objects instead of just unblessed hashes now, through a new method: my $builder = t::lib::TestBuilder->new(); my $patron = $builder->build_object({ class => 'Koha::Patrons' }); It was introduced to avoid this pattern we see very often on the tests: my $builder = t::lib::TestBuilder->new(); my $patron_id = $builder->build({ source => 'Borrower' })->{'borrowernumber'}; my $patron = Koha::Patrons->find( $patron_id ); (or just to make use of object accessors without all the symbols handling hashrefs add, like in $patron->{'borrowernumber'} At some point we could make ->build_object() replace ->build() for simplicity.

[Important] Update your MySQL|MariaDB configuration to avoid data loss
by Jonathan Druart 01 Sep '17

01 Sep '17

Hello everybody, This is an important email and you should not ignore it. If you are a librarian and have no technical skills you should forward this email to the administrator of your Koha installation. We have been dealing with circulation history loss in the last versions of Koha, and we ended up with a solution. You should read the following wiki page attentively and set up the proposed solution: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/DBMS_auto_increment_fix Cheers, Jonathan

Koha on docker on Centos 7
by Waylon Robertson 01 Sep '17

01 Sep '17

Scrapping the idea of setting up koha on centos 7 for a moment, might be too difficult, an answer might lie with docker. Why redo the work when the work is already done? Found this docker: QuantumObject/docker-koha | | | | | | | | | | | QuantumObject/docker-koha docker-koha - Open-source integrated library system running on container. | | | | I already have a old database, from I think a koha 3.2 install, Could i use this, with a external volume for the zebradb, external mysql server, and will then koha update my database for me, and use it? | | Virus-free. www.avast.com |

Koha 17 on Centos 7
by Waylon Robertson 01 Sep '17

01 Sep '17

Is there instructions somewhere, that tell me how to install koha 17 on centos 7? Does anyone have any hints? Do i really have to one by one, install all those dependancies that the dependancy script says? or is there a faster way? Waylon | | Virus-free. www.avast.com |
