OPAC search results not displaying correctly on smaller device screens

Hi all, Does anyone else have an issue with the OPAC search results not displaying correctly on smaller device screens? I've opened up https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30841 as I think I see a flaw for screen sizes between 768 and 991 pixels in width.

Zebra facets: yay or nay?
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 23 May '22

23 May '22

Hi all, Do you use Zebra facets? I think a lot of people have found them very useful for small databases but too slow on larger databases? I noticed how the word "the" could make a difference on a Koha database with 1,000,000+ bib records. Maybe Indexdata can give some insight into that one: https://github.com/indexdata/idzebra/issues/35. I took a look at the Zebra code but I'm neither a C expert nor a Zebra code expert, so nothing obvious jumped out at me. But it seems to me that the facet calculation isn't being done correctly on the result set, as a result set of 3325 records can get 1 facet in 2 records whereas a result set of 3323 records can get 1 facet in 60 seconds (ie too slow to return correctly in Koha). Unfortunately, I don't have a ready-made solution for that one (unlike https://github.com/indexdata/idzebra/issues/34) so I don't know if it'll progress. But fingers crossed!

Bug 30684: Requesting community feedback on change to restart behaviour of koha-* scripts
by Alex Buckley 19 May '22

19 May '22

Kia ora Koha community, I'd love to hear your thoughts please on adding the following behaviour across all koha-* scripts when passing the --restart parameter: 1. If the service is not running 2. You run sudo koha-<service> --restart <instancename> , e.g. sudo koha-plack --restart kohadev 3. Koha stops the service, then starts it *Context* Bug 30684 was initially written to resolve the below error that is thrown when you try restarting plack, if it's not already running: /[FAIL] Error: Plack not running for <instancename>: failed!/ However, as Marcel noted the error is thrown by design: If you didn't start it, you cannot restart it. So it would be better to stop and then start the service. Also to ensure this change was consistent, it should be implemented in all koha-* scripts, not just koha-plack. Is everyone happy for this change to be implemented in all koha-* scripts? Thanks, Alex

Plack graceful restart / reload (Bug 21366)
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 19 May '22

19 May '22

Hi all, For years, we've been talking about providing a graceful restart for Starman. Today, I needed it for a production instance to enable plugins without disrupting anyone's Koha usage, so I ran: kill -SIGHUP $(cat /var/run/koha/<instance name>/plack.pid) It worked so well. I'd be happy to provide a patch, but I imagine there might be some debate about the precise implementation. So if folk could comment on https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21366 that would be great.

Zebra hot tip #2047 : memMax
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 18 May '22

18 May '22

Hi all, While trying to tune Zebra for a large Koha library, I ran into some problems when throwing memory at the memMax configuration option. While the documentation says it can use up to half the memory on your system, I've discovered the practical limit is actually 2047MB. Why 2047MB? It's because memMax gets puts into a variable with an "int" data type which is a signed 32 bit integer. If you get to 2048MB or over, you'll end up with invalid values that cause memory allocation issues and your indexing will fail. I've raised an issue with Indexdata to either switch to an unsigned 32 bit integer, switch to a 64 bit integer, or at least add some error checking: https://github.com/indexdata/idzebra/issues/34 But I figured I'd share my little discovery with y'all in the meantime.
