Changing the lost card value
by Stephen Graham 18 Oct '21

18 Oct '21

Sorry if this is a basic question. I've searched through the Koha::Patron and C4::Members perldoc and had a quick look through the memberentry.pl code to see how this handles it, but I can't seem to work out how it done. I want to change the value of the lost card field to zero. I can see the "lost" field in the borrowers table, so could update the value directly via SQL, but there must be a Koha method that I can use to do this? Any help/advice much appreciated!

Time to translate: string freeze to prepare Koha 19.11.23 has begun

Hello, String freeze is into effect as of now for the 19.11.x maintenance branch in preparation for the 19.11.23 release. This means it's the right time to head over to the translation platform: https://translate.koha-community.org/projects/ Reminder: if you add or change a translation in version 19.11, then you must also copy it to 20.05, 20.11 and 21.05. Otherwise your work will be lost for future versions. Happy translating! Wainui Witika-Park (she/her)

Issues fetching from Koha Git due to Let's Encrypt root certificate expiry
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 08 Oct '21

08 Oct '21

Hi all, Some people might have found they aren't able to fetch from the Koha Git (in koha-testing-docker for instance). They might be getting the following error: fatal: unable to access 'https://git.koha-community.org/Koha-community/Koha.git/': server certificate verification failed. CAfile: none CRLfile: none That seems to be due to the Let's Encrypt root certificate expiry. I imagine the latest koha-testing-docker probably doesn't have this problem, but if you're lazy or time poor like me, you can just run the following to get your existing koha-testing-docker to work again: apt-get update apt-get install ca-certificates Cheers, David Cook Senior Software Engineer Prosentient Systems Suite 7.03 6a Glen St Milsons Point NSW 2061 Australia Office: 02 9212 0899 Online: 02 8005 0595

Can we add HTML classes to add semantic to elements when writing automated UI tests?
by Victor Grousset/tuxayo 01 Oct '21

01 Oct '21

Hi :) I'm writing an UI test for creating a club to later use it for holds. In the page /cgi-bin/koha/clubs/clubs.pl There is the button "New club" , I would like to click on it but it has nothing in the classes or id that tells it's this button. I could use a vague and fragile in the long run selector like ".main .dropdown-toggle" and comment explaining what it is. Or I could add a class like "new-club" to the <button> Maybe there is a way I missed to have a readable, concise and durable way to click on the dropdown button but the question will still stand for a future case way there won't be such a way. Also maybe there is better class name than "new-club". The naming practice is also an important question. Cheers, -- Victor Grousset/tuxayo
