Importing items with "foreign" branches fails badly
by Philippe Blouin 11 Sep '23

11 Sep '23

Hello! When importing a marc file where some items homebranch are not matching a branchcode in db, the import fails. Freeze-fail. Before, it used to just skip those items, but it seems (since 23.05) to just fail silently (with a constraint failure in the log, but nothing for the user). Is it our install or it's a known issue? When running "show engin innodb status", I get some row lock. Looking at the bug list, I found nothing. There are many ways to fix this, and we don't want to head into one to be told "ooh, this should be fixed there instead". * Upstream https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21272 Maybe there could be an option in staging to overwrite the homebranches that do not correspond? * Just ignore the item, as before. But at least leave some info about it in the result page. * Fail as soon as it happens. Do not import and tell the user to correct the data ? The first option doesn't solve bulkmarcimport.pl :( Feedbacks would be appreciated. -- Philippe Blouin, Directeur de la technologie Tél. : (833) 465-4276, poste 230 philippe.blouin(a)inLibro.com inLibro | pour esprit libre | www.inLibro.com <http://www.inLibro.com>

KTD testers needed
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 01 Sep '23

01 Sep '23

Hi all, I've been working on making things easier on ARM64 processors (M1, M2, and so on) on top of the great work from Mason. Now we need help testing a branch [1]. I specially need non-ARM testers, so we are sure nothing gets broken with the change. To test: 1. On your KTD clone do: $ git remote add theke https://gitlab.com/thekesolutions/koha-tools/koha-testing-docker.git $ git checkout theke/issue_396 -b issue_396 2. Then a. (x86_64 users) do your usual stuff, try playing with --es7, --os1, etc b. (arm64 users) try different option switches. Use docker ps to check which images have been picked, etc 3. Comment on the issue [2] CAVEATS: I did it in a way that wouldn't affect our test suite. Might deserve some refactoring once we settle things.

plugins on KohaDevboxes
by Philippe Blouin 01 Sep '23

01 Sep '23

Hi! Any suggestion onto why our plugin doesn't seem to work on (bywater's) Devboxes while being perfectly fine in 22,23 or master local installs ? The UI of the config is all damaged, like the dropbox not being clickable. Below first is the devbox version, versus our installations right after. Any hint would be greatly appreciated. Thanks -- Philippe Blouin, Directeur de la technologie Tél. : (833) 465-4276, poste 230 philippe.blouin(a)inLibro.com inLibro | pour esprit libre | www.inLibro.com <http://www.inLibro.com>

Re: [Koha-devel] [Koha] Where would I put the OpenLibrary ID in the MARC record

My testing seems to indicate that the patch does indeed work and retrieves covers from OpenLib even when there isn't an ISBN (but there is an OLID in MARC field 024). I've made a couple of notes in a comment to the bug. > Note that I am Joubu but not the original author of the OpenLibrary > cover retrieval code. My apologies. I didn't delve deeply enough into the code history and jumped to conclusions. Mea culpa Nigel

Question about an Acquisitions enhancement proposal
by Alex Buckley 29 Aug '23

29 Aug '23

Hi Koha community, I really enjoyed meeting many of you at KohaCon in Finland for the first-time in person!! I have a question. We have a partner library who is interested in sponsoring an enhancement so they can change the quantity in order lines of open baskets. Currently, if you click the 'Modify' link for an order line in an open basket and change the value in the Quantity text input a JavaScript popup appears telling you "You can't add a new item, please create a new order line" - see attached screenshot. Looking at the code I can see that JavaScript popup is coming from https://github.com/Koha-Community/Koha/blob/1403fd847a66432efda2c8724f61bcc… Before we go any further with starting work on making a bug report and writing this enhancement I wanted to check a few things with the community to make sure we start on the right track: Q1) Is adding the ability to change the quantity of order lines in open baskets a bad idea? Q2) Is there anything we should keep in mind? Q3) Do you have any suggestions of how to approach writing this enhancement? Any feedback, and suggestions, would be much appreciated. Kind regards, Alex

Hi all, Does anyone but Chris Cormack have admin access to Bugzilla? I've been locked out (due to posting too many links), and it would be great to get access back. I was hoping to do some work on Bugzilla today.
