Analysis help needed for one of the last pieces for ElasticSearch 7 support
by Victor Grousset/tuxayo 16 May '22

16 May '22

Hi :) Bug 25669 has stalled on the choice of two options, it needs a confirmation that one of the alternative patches implements indeed one of the two options which is enough for just ES 7 support and raises no question about additional configuration work unlike the other option. https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25669 Bug 25669 - ElasticSearch 6: [types removal] Specifying types in put mapping requests is deprecated (incompatible with 7) Cheers, -- Victor Grousset/tuxayo

ILS-DI and notforloan status...
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 12 May '22

12 May '22

Hi all, Recently I opened https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30636 so that the "GetAvailability" service would correctly show an item as not for loan if set at the item level or item type level. (I notice that the KohaILSDI driver for VuFind uses "GetServices" which already correctly checks both.) However, the discovery layer I'm bumping into is using the "GetRecords" service which just shows the "notforloan" at the item-level only. They've asked for it to be updated to reflect the item type level too, but the way the information is surfaced is more "record" level than availability/action level of those two other services. I'm inclined to make the change to bring uniformity to the services, but can anyone think of a reason not to? I figure I'll just set "notforloan" to 1 if it is not already non-zero and the item type level is set. Sound good?

debian.koha-community.org refusing connections from server
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 10 May '22

10 May '22

Hi all, Who manages the server that hosts debian.koha-community.org? It looks like it's actively refusing connections from one of my Koha servers. Err:9 http://debian.koha-community.org/koha 20.11 InRelease Could not connect to debian.koha-community.org:80 (67.220.127.145), connection timed out I was able to connect just fine from a different IP address, and that server can contact many other Apt repos. Keen to investigate this one with someone. 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

Responsive DataTables
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 09 May '22

09 May '22

Hi all, A librarian pointed out to me that the table in the OPAC cart is not responsive (ie the table flows off the edge of the screen). I took a little look online and it looks like DataTables does have mobile support: https://datatables.net/extensions/rowreorder/examples/initialisation/respons ive.html I needed to add "responsive: true" to the DT initialisation and include https://cdn.datatables.net/responsive/2.2.9/js/dataTables.responsive.min.js but it mostly worked. I think we'd need to play around a bit with "dtr-control" (https://datatables.net/extensions/responsive/examples/child-rows/column-con trol.html) so that we could show columns that can't fit onto the screen. But that probably wouldn't take that much work. What do people think? It looks like it would be a great addition to Koha.

Koha Item Type 942$c, 952$y
by Ms. Naveen Ali 09 May '22

09 May '22

Dear All, I am migrating my data from oracle database to KOHA. I would like to use the 942$c to store document types such as handbooks, dictionary etc (I will not create any circulation rules for these values) and 952$y for koha item type used for circulation rules. I intend to edit the MARC framework and update the authorized value of 942$c to a new created authorized value such as DTYPE. However KOHA links this field to biblioitems.itemtype. I wanted to understand how and where is this field used in KOHA functions. Will this cause any malfunctioning with respect to lending or any other functions. With best regards, Naveen Ali ITM-JE (EAKL) Inst Representative for HEC Digital Library Resources. NEDUET, Karachi.

Chris et al, Thanks for the quick answer. It turns out my problem was something else, but by looking where you suggested I found and fixed the issue. <sigh> This is why I love Koha -- the people behind it are the best! Cheers, / Bruce / Bruce A. Metcalf Augustan Library
