ElasticSearch Testing
by Hugo Agud 31 Oct '19

31 Oct '19

Good morning I am testing koha performance under different configuration and now I am testing koha zebra vs ElasticSearch 5.5 ,5.6 and 6.3 and I am facing an issue thant I can't solve, now I am going to install kohadev with ES to check if it works. The issue is that biblio search with more than one results gets an internal server error Can't locate object method "index_name" via package "Catmandu::Store::ElasticSearch" at /usr/share/koha/lib/Koha/SearchEngine/Elasticsearch/Search.pm line 407. I have manually forced the index_name, but same behaviour, on the other hand there is no problem of searching authorities... somebody has faced a similar problem? kindest regards Hugo -- *Hugo Agud - Orex Digital * *www.orex.es <http://www.orex.es>* <http://www.orex.es/> [image: www.orex.es/koha] <http://www.orex.es/koha> [image: www.orex.es/vufind] <http://www.orex.es/vufind> Director Passeig Comte Vilardaga, 118 3-3 08980 -Sant Feliu de Llobregat - Tel: 933 856 138 hagud(a)orex.es · http://www.orex.es/ No imprima este mensaje a no ser que sea necesario.

Let's talk about the future of Bug 15522
by Owen Leonard 29 Oct '19

29 Oct '19

Bug 15522, "New interface for revamped circulation rules" (https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15522) has been in limbo for a long time. It's a big change that relies on a patch that makes a big change: Bug 18936 - Convert issuingrules fields to circulation_rules (https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18936) 18936 is particularly intimidating because of the extent of the changes. It's too much for one person to test thoroughly enough. If we agree that these bugs are worthy of moving forward, let's plan a coordinated effort to get them tested. I think it's probably too late for 11.19, but perhaps we could make a plan for the next release? A GBSD for just Bug 18936? Thanks, -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries https://www.myacpl.org

ISSUESLIP and old_checkouts in template code
by Mark Alexander 26 Oct '19

26 Oct '19

I'm trying to access old_checkouts in an ISSUESLIP like this: [% FOREACH checkout IN old_checkouts %] This seems to return an empty list, which is not surprising given that the ISSUESLIP supposedly doesn't get passed the old_checkouts variable, according to the wiki: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Notices_with_Template_Toolkit I've been trying to figure out how to get old_checkouts passed to ISSUESLIP, but I'm not too familiar with the code. As best as I can tell, this needs to be done somewhere in C4/Members.pm, perhaps in the IssueSlip function, but it's not clear to me what I need to do. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Re: [Koha-devel] [Koha] Deny staff patrons permission to check in items issued to them.
by Indranil Das Gupta 25 Oct '19

25 Oct '19

Hi James Circulation in koha (more specifically checkout aka issue) is controlled via a combination of 3 parameters: the branch, the borrower category and the itemtype. Library staff level operational granularity is not a function of Koha at the moment. Hope this helps Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies On Fri 25 Oct, 2019, 9:48 AM muirunyeri, <muirunyeri(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello team, > Our library staff are allowed to borrow upto 5 items.

API use in intranet and OPAC
by Agustin Moyano 15 Oct '19

15 Oct '19

Hello everyone, I'll introduce myself for those of you who didn't "git blame" me... I'm the one who introduced that huge, nasty, blocking bug, that didn't ley you place a simple hold on intranet. I'm glad to announce that patch is on the way, and passed QA. This was one of the first steps (if not the first) of using the API in intranet. A really clumpsy step, I give you that, but as they saying says.. "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for the API", but in my case, if I've been Neil Armstrong, I've probably tripped as soon as I got out of the module, get my helmet all scratched and filled with moon dust, and instead of a nice clean footprint, there would have been a fuzzy figure resembling a space suit trying to get up. Marcel de Rooy, the generous soul who passedQA the solution patch, complained (and he was absolutely right) about a couple of things: 1. That there was no comunication about this in dev channel before implementing. It's too late for discusing before implementing, but I would really like to know your opinion post implementation. 2. OPAC and Intranet now use diferent methods to place holds.. one uses the API, the other uses a POST to a .pl file. I think it best to move OPAC to use the API, but this time I'm going to hear you first. Regards

Duplicated holds notices
by Nick Clemens 14 Oct '19

14 Oct '19

Hi All, We have been getting several reports of duplicated holds notices on a few systems. We cannot find any issues in the code that would duplciate this, there are not duplicated transports or anything in the data we can find. We have noticed that some of the modals have a submit button, and then js to submit the form, however, Kyle attempted to add 'preventDoubleFormSubmit()' to the page and that has not helped $(document).ready(function() { if (window.location.href.indexOf("circ/ returns.pl") > -1) { $('form').preventDoubleFormSubmit(); } }); Has anyone else experienced this? -Nick -- Nick Clemens ByWater Solutions bywatersolutions.com Phone: (888) 900-8944 Pronouns: (he/him/his) Timezone: Eastern

Removing data from hea.koha-community.org
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 14 Oct '19

14 Oct '19

Hi all, Do we have any process for removing data from hea.koha-community.org? For instance, say that a library permanently closes, or just no longer wants to be listed?
