Serial: numbering patterns: how to make it more clear that months and weekdays start from 0 ?
by Victor Grousset 24 Apr '19

24 Apr '19

Hi :) , That might not be clear, even for developer, and even less for a librarian. How could this info be delivered reliably to the user? To avoid running in circle during too long before realizing that? Even more hard to understand when there are cases like biannual where if you start from February, it will work even if you assumed that January was 1. But if you start from February, there will be issues after one year. Should there be tooltips? The related fields are marked with a red dot in the following screenshot. https://framapic.org/4P2ZzbgJpuvA/SIleKzEuYVaG.png Cheers, -- Victor Grousset, dev support/maintenance BibLibre, Services en logiciels libres pour les bibliothèques BibLibre, Libre/Open Source software and services for libraries

koha-testing-docker - production use
by Waylon Robertson 18 Apr '19

18 Apr '19

I am trying to move my already existing 17.05 koha install, on a old ubuntu-minimal docker, to koha-testing-docker, figure all it needs is a change of config, and then i can stop the db docker container, only... it is ignoring my changes to koha-conf.xml inside sites/kohadev.my changes are there, and yet koha-rebuild-zebra etc are just ignoring them. I've also tried changing .env and defaults.env to match my creds before docker-compose up, and it seems like all options are taken into account, except the HOSTNAME, or DB_HOSTNAME or DB_HOSTno variation works. I am thinking, maybe its better to just start from a debian docker image, and start from there, build it up myself?I need to do this, as the docker i have, won't boot up on my new centos 7 system, mpm_itk says something about seccomp, and stops apache from running perl.

Re: [Koha-devel] [Koha] Should password be mandatory to send
by BOUIS Sonia 16 Apr '19

16 Apr '19

Hi Katrin, Thank you for this review of Bugzilla tickets. I can see that I'm not the only one to think that there's a lack of a notification to welcome our new users. I thought that it will be simpler to use ACCTDETAILS but it seems that it's more complicated than I expected. Perhaps a new notification could be a nice idea. Sonia Message: 2 Date: Sun, 14 Apr 2019 21:01:35 +0200 From: Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer.83(a)web.de> To: koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz, Koha Devel <koha-devel(a)lists.koha-community.org> Subject: Re: [Koha-devel] [Koha] Should password be mandatory to send ACCTDETAILS notice Message-ID: <f781ac8a-3e4f-6582-49e6-52bc04d79723(a)web.de> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; Format="flowed" Hi Sonia, I think the ACCTDETAILS notice is a bit difficult. Last I checked I think it required you to enter email, userid and password before saving the patron the first time in order to work right. As it avoids the message queue there is no way to tell if the notice was sent correctly and there is no way to send it again. There are some bugs filed in this context: *Bug?9097* <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9097> - 'Welcome mail' for new library users *Bug?15834* <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15834> - Options to supress e-mail generated by AutoEmailOpacUser *Bug?18543* <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18543> - Automated emails for new patron accounts with the AutoEmailOpacUser preference I don't see a reason why password should be mandatory, other than it might lead to messages being sent out incomplete for libraries using it for this feature. I think it might be a bit nicer to realize the idea of a separate 'welcome mail', that goes through the message queue and have an option to send it again if needed.

Should password be mandatory to send ACCTDETAILS notice
by BOUIS Sonia 14 Apr '19

14 Apr '19

Hello, We wanted to send notices to our new external patrons using ACCDETAILS notice but, we have seen that in members/memberentry.pl, there's a checking to be sure there's a password for the patron. We don't use the password (this field is in the "BorrowerUnwantedField" system preference in our Koha) because we send our patrons in the university directory with a specific password not created in Koha. We would like to use the ACCTDETAILS notices to send our new patron a summary of the services provided by the library and to explain how they could connect to their account or how to change their password. We don't want to send them the password by email. Do you see a reason to keep checking if there's a password in memberentry.pl or do you think we could remove it? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Advice for restricting loans from 3M self-check
by Mason James 12 Apr '19

12 Apr '19

hi folks does anyone have any advice for restricting some Koha item-types from being circulated (issued/returned) via a 3M self-check machine, but!... still allow the item-type to be circulated via Koha'a staff-admin interface? it seems it might be possible using a specific 'sip_media_type' value for an item-type does anyone else have a similar situation? thanks, Mason

Roles for 19.11 now open
by Renvoize, Martin 10 Apr '19

10 Apr '19

Hi everyone, The role proposals page for the upcoming 19.11 development cycle is now available at https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Roles_for_19.11 and we'd love to see some new names on the volunteers' list. The vote on roles will be held at the next irc general meeting and descriptions of what the roles entail can be found here: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Project_roles . Roles to draw your attention to: * Bug Wranglers - We can always do with more bug wranglers! These people love to keep things tidy and Bugzilla is always in need of your help. We need people to help manage 'the list', identifying the duplicates, promoting bugs to specialists and finding people to do signoffs and testing. Everyone is invited to this party, we need you! * Documentation Team - The documentation team is a growing team that's made great inroads into bringing Koha's documentation up to date and ensuring we have a really well-documented piece of software. There's plenty more to do and they're always on the lookout for new contributors. * Wiki Curators - Koha's wiki is bursting at the seams with good information, but we need your help to bring order to the chaos and keep improving the content. If you've got an interest in maintaining an area of the Wiki, helping identify out of date information or categorizing data then this is a job for you. * Quality Assurance Team - This vitally important team is always looking for new recruits! If you've got an eye for detail, or you're a tester who likes rolling up their sleeves a little bit and looking at how a piece of code works, then we'd love to hear from you. Again, there's always support available from 'the usual suspects' so don't shy away, why not make this your first cycle on the QA team and see how much fun it can be working with this important team. * Quality Assurance Topic Expert - Do you know one particular area of koha better than the rest? Are you the 'go to' guy (or gal) for SIP2, EDI, Acquisitions or another area of Koha? We'd like to hear from you too. You don't have to know the whole codebase to be a great QA Specialist, you're an expert in what you know and we always need more experts. Those are just a few highlights, please see the wiki page above for the full list. *Martin Renvoize* <https://www.ptfs-europe.com> Development Team Manager *Phone:* +44 (0) 1483 378728 *Mobile:* +44 (0) 7725 985 636 *Email:* martin.renvoize(a)ptfs-europe.com *Fax:* +44 (0) 800 756 6384 www.ptfs-europe.com Registered in the United Kingdom No. 06416372 VAT Reg No. 925 7211 30 The information contained in this email message may be privileged, confidential and protected from disclosure.

Plugins upgrade
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 10 Apr '19

10 Apr '19

Hi all, I wanted to share something I added to the GOBI plugin I wrote. A while back we added an upgrade method for plugins, but there's no fixed way of handling it, it will just call the upgrade method if version doesn't match. So for the first time I used it, and wanted to share the results just in case - Someone finds it valuable for copy and paste - Someone has better ideas for enhancing this. The code: https://github.com/thekesolutions/koha-plugin-gobi/blob/master/Koha/Plugin/… Thanks for your feedback! -- Tomás Cohen Arazi Theke Solutions (http://theke.io) ✆ +54 9351 3513384 GPG: B2F3C15F
