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

Remove $5 rental charge from sample item type book
by David Cook 28 Sep '17

28 Sep '17

Hi all, If someone wants an easy win, please take a look at signing off https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19377. I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets annoyed when they do a checkout during testing only to find that their book has incurred a $5 rental charge against their test patron.

Dashboard browser notifications
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 27 Sep '17

27 Sep '17

Do you think we could add browser notifications superpowers to our dashboard? I can't work on it right now, but it would certaintly help me being aware of stuffs I can help with if urgent. What I like about browser notifications is that people can block them pretty easily (it is one of the two options browsers offer for them) and interested people would greatly benefit from them. -- Tomás Cohen Arazi Theke Solutions (https://theke.io <http://theke.io/>) ✆ +54 9351 3513384 GPG: B2F3C15F

Anyone familiar with ./docs/CAS/CASProxy/examples/proxy_cas_data.pl?
by David Cook 27 Sep '17

27 Sep '17

Hi all, Is anyone familiar with ./docs/CAS/CASProxy/examples/proxy_cas_data.pl? I get the following error when I try to compile it: Using a hash as a reference is deprecated at ./docs/CAS/CASProxy/examples/proxy_cas_data.pl line 60. This is line 60: my $pgtId = %$hashref->{$cgi->param('PGTIOU')}; It looks to me like it should just be: my $pgtId = $hashref->{$cgi->param('PGTIOU')}; But I'm wondering what that hashref might contain. Could it be a hash? And that's why someone is trying to dereference something there? It's a BibLibre script from 2009, so I'm guessing someone from BibLibre might have an answer? Or could we just get rid of this script all together anyway? David Cook Systems Librarian Prosentient Systems 72/330 Wattle St Ultimo, NSW 2007 Australia Office: 02 9212 0899 Direct: 02 8005 0595

Fwd: Koha Development Setup: Can't access both admin and OPAC sites
by Emmanuel Chukwu 26 Sep '17

26 Sep '17

Hello everyone, Please I am having a challenge with the development setup of Koha. I am new to Koha but had successfully installed the non-development version of Koha and everything worked out fine. Now I am having some challenges with the development setup using the instructions at https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian_Jessie_development_setup to setup Koha for development on Debian Jessie. Here are some of my configurations: *Listening Ports* Listen 127.0.1.1:80 Listen 127.0.1.1:8080 #my admin site is on this port Listen 127.0.1.1:8081 #my OPAC site is here Granting Access to the Installation Directory I added the following configuration inside both the *OPAC * site ( 127.0.1.1:8081) and the *Intranet* site (127.0.1.1:8081) *VirtualHost* elements in the */var/koha/koha-dev/etc/koha-httpd.conf* file: <Directory "/var/koha"> Require all granted </Directory> Say the IP address of the koha development server is 192.168.1.70 After following through the instructions, I tried accessing the admin site through another machine on the network, by typing 192.168.1.70:8080 on the browser but the site could not be reached. The same issue with the OPAC site on 192.168.1.70:8081. But I could access 192.168.1.70:80 which returns the Apache2 Debian Default Page. I could also ping the host 192.168.1.70 Please I need help on what I possibly didn't do right. Thanks.

Tell others what is waiting for test
by Jonathan Druart 26 Sep '17

26 Sep '17

Hi devs, Maybe we should advertise a bit more what are the enhancements that we have in our bug tracker waiting for testers. We could then list them in the "what's on in koha-devel" emails ( https://annuel2.framapad.org/p/What_s_on_in_koha-devel) For instance we could list the bug numbers with a quick description of what the enhancement is and why/how it is useful. If you have something that may interest someone else in the queue, let them know! Cheers, Jonathan
