REST api enhancement to ease development
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 04 Oct '17

04 Oct '17

Hi, we've been involved in a small discussion about a way to generalize query parameters handling (with the focus on making it easier to write new endpoints, and repeat code less). In the process I declared some 'reserved' keywords that are clearly described on each related bug. I put things together from some of those conversations in bug 19410. This probably explains the dependencies: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/showdependencygraph.cgi?id=18731 Follow the dependencies to better track what's done so far. Here you can see it "in action" on the list_orders controller method: https://github.com/tomascohen/koha/blob/bug_18731_orders_endpoint/Koha/REST… And this is how the OpenAPI path definition looks like with the 'reserved' params: https://github.com/tomascohen/koha/blob/bug_18731_orders_endpoint/api/v1/sw… And the parameters definition [1]: https://github.com/tomascohen/koha/blob/bug_18731_orders_endpoint/api/v1/sw… Thanks in advance for your feedback and testing. [1] Yes, there's room for modularization (parameters/reserved.json?). Help is welcome. -- Tomás Cohen Arazi Theke Solutions (https://theke.io <http://theke.io/>) ✆ +54 9351 3513384 GPG: B2F3C15F

Request for SO: Koha to MARC mappings
by Marcel de Rooy 04 Oct '17

04 Oct '17

Hi all, I wrote a few reports for extending Koha to MARC mappings to allow for multiple mappings (e.g. map 260c and 264c to copyrightdate). The first part bug 10306 https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10306 is waiting for QA. The second part bug 19096 https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19096 is still waiting for signoff. Same for a smaller follow-up bug 11046 https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11046 which makes it possible to better sort on publication years like 19xx etc. I rebased them yesterday.

Bugs for testing
by Andreas Hedström Mace 02 Oct '17

02 Oct '17

Hi devs, We are arranging a meeting for the Swedish User Group this week, where we will have a workshop about the Koha community’s QA process. We will try to look at doing some testing of (easy) bugs, possibly do some sign-offs or comment on bugs in discussion. We will be looking for bugs that work well testing with sandboxes. If you have any bugs that you think might be suitable, please tag it with the Academy keyword, so we will have the chance to see it. Thanks!

bugs.koha-community.org (and a few other sites) outage
by Chris Cormack 29 Sep '17

29 Sep '17

Hi All Linode are migrating servers to a new data centre, this will cause an outage for the server that runs bugs.koha-community.org and a few other sites (including download.koha-community.org) They will do it automatically, but I am going to do it today manually so that I can keep an eye on it. So those sites will go down for a while, while I move it I will update when the move is completed Chris -- Chris Cormack Catalyst IT Ltd. +64 4 803 2238 PO Box 11-053, Manners St, Wellington 6142, New Zealand
