Standard approaches to fixing styling issues in templates
by David Cook 09 Jan '19

09 Jan '19

I was just looking at "Bug 21751 - fixFloat toolbar not displaying properly in Chrome" when I re-encountered "Bug 21089 - Overlapping elements in ordering information on acqui/supplier.pl". I would've sworn that Owen and I talked about this or that I fixed it ages ago, but can't find anything about it now. Not really sure what the solution would be though. Do we have a standard way of dealing with radio buttons mixed with other input types?

LDAP config: update_password
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 26 Dec '18

26 Dec '18

Hi everyone, I was working on removing Koha::Patron->update_password, and found out that Auth_with_ldap.pm has a routine that takes care of 'syncing' the password from LDAP into the local DB. Is anyone using that? I will keep the current behaviour, but was thinking of filing a bug for its deprecation. -- Tomás Cohen Arazi Theke Solutions (http://theke.io) ✆ +54 9351 3513384 GPG: B2F3C15F

Cache::Memory must be removed (21955)
by Jonathan Druart 21 Dec '18

21 Dec '18

Hi devs, I am still recovering from my holidays and I think I caught a quite big fish. After an interesting track game I will explain why I am suggesting to remove Cache::Memory that is currently used as fallback for the L2 cache. What I tried to fix: Jenkins is complaining about selenium tests (regressions.t) failing on 18.05, it is a succession of events and bugs that were not linked at first glance. Here are the different steps I went though: - On bug 21426 we noticed that USE_MEMCACHED was not taken into account. If set to "no" the default memcached config was defined in the koha-config.xml file anyway - A new regression selenium test was added on bug 21777 to catch the presence of an audio alert on the circulation page - Investigating the failing tests I noticed that koha-testing-docker was not setting the memcached config on the 18.05 branches (I guess the image has not been rebuilt yet) search_utf8.t output "Warning: script running in daemon mode, without recommended caching system (memcached)." - I also find that [% Koha.Preference('AudioAlerts') %] did not return the value set by the tests, but the value that the DB has before the tests were launched => It is a cache issue! - ...but only when memcached is not set... - Reading Koha::Cache->new we can notice that Cache::Memory is used for the L2 cache when memcached is not defined in the config And so we have the problem: If a value is set in the cache by a Plack worker, it will not be available from another one, as the L2 cache is not shared (!) To recreate easily the problem you can: - remove the memcached config - edit intranet-bottom.inc and add ===[% Koha.Preference('AudioAlerts') %]=== - restart plack - Modify the value of AudioAlerts (using the UI) - Reload the page (reload several times if the value is still correct, it will depend on which worker will serve the request) Solution: I am considering removing Cache::Memory unless somebody else has a better idea Bug 21955 - Cache::Memory should not be used as L2 cache Note that it should not affect a lot of people as everybody is supposed to have memcached configured and working correctly! Cheers, Jonathan

The Koha community is proud to announce the release of Koha 17.11.13. This is a maintenance release. The full release notes are available at https://koha-community.org/koha-17-11-13-release/ Debian packages will be upgraded in a few days. Pay attention to Bug 21955 integration : Cache::Memory should not be used as L2 cache. This means Memcached is more than recommanded on production servers.
