On-site checkouts
by Rodrigo Santellan 11 Sep '17

11 Sep '17

Hi, I have some items on the library that are only for using on the library. The difference with those items is that you can place a hold on them to use them during the day and also you can place a hold on them and checkout for using on the weekends and during the night (you check it out at last hour of the day and have to return it on first hour of next day). For what I can figure out is that I should create a new item type with different circulation rules, but I don't have a way to warn the librarian that the item is of restricted type. Is there a way to achieve it? Regards and thanks for all the help in advance!!

TestBuilder usage, recommendation
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 11 Sep '17

11 Sep '17

Hi everyone, on my QA-related tasks I've found many of us use TestBuilder to generate random data for our tests (YAY!). I just wanted to remind you that TestBuilder can now return Koha::Object-derived objects instead of just unblessed hashes now, through a new method: my $builder = t::lib::TestBuilder->new(); my $patron = $builder->build_object({ class => 'Koha::Patrons' }); It was introduced to avoid this pattern we see very often on the tests: my $builder = t::lib::TestBuilder->new(); my $patron_id = $builder->build({ source => 'Borrower' })->{'borrowernumber'}; my $patron = Koha::Patrons->find( $patron_id ); (or just to make use of object accessors without all the symbols handling hashrefs add, like in $patron->{'borrowernumber'} At some point we could make ->build_object() replace ->build() for simplicity.

[Important] Update your MySQL|MariaDB configuration to avoid data loss
by Jonathan Druart 01 Sep '17

01 Sep '17

Hello everybody, This is an important email and you should not ignore it. If you are a librarian and have no technical skills you should forward this email to the administrator of your Koha installation. We have been dealing with circulation history loss in the last versions of Koha, and we ended up with a solution. You should read the following wiki page attentively and set up the proposed solution: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/DBMS_auto_increment_fix Cheers, Jonathan

Koha on docker on Centos 7
by Waylon Robertson 01 Sep '17

01 Sep '17

Scrapping the idea of setting up koha on centos 7 for a moment, might be too difficult, an answer might lie with docker. Why redo the work when the work is already done? Found this docker: QuantumObject/docker-koha | | | | | | | | | | | QuantumObject/docker-koha docker-koha - Open-source integrated library system running on container. | | | | I already have a old database, from I think a koha 3.2 install, Could i use this, with a external volume for the zebradb, external mysql server, and will then koha update my database for me, and use it? | | Virus-free. www.avast.com |

01 Sep '17

Is there instructions somewhere, that tell me how to install koha 17 on centos 7? Does anyone have any hints? Do i really have to one by one, install all those dependancies that the dependancy script says? or is there a faster way? Waylon | | Virus-free. www.avast.com |

QA sprint day - wish list
by Jonathan Druart 31 Aug '17

31 Aug '17

Here is my wish list for tomorrow :) Priority is bugs: blockers, criticals, majors then normals (as usual, right?) Then: Test suite improvement: Bug 18055 - Speed up '00-strict.t' test Bug 18979 - Speed up 'valid-templates.t' tests TT syntax for notices: Bug 17981 - Add the ability to preview generated notice templates (and parents!) Refactoring: Bug 18149 - Move CountUsage calls to Koha namespace Bug 18595 - Move C4::Members::Messaging to Koha namespace Bug 19059 - Move C4::Reserves::CancelReserve to the Koha::Hold->cancel (and parents!) Feedback needed on: Bug 17600 - Standardize the EXPORT Others: Bug 18298 - Enforce password complexity Bug 17380 - Resolve several problems related to Default authority framework I have created a pad with the list of the bugs in the "Signed Off" queue (generated now): https://annuel2.framapad.org/p/koha-qa-print-Sept-1-2017 It may be useful to track down who is working on what (add your name on the right for instance? Remove the line from the list if done, etc?). Feel free to suggest something else if it does not fit. Cheers, Jonathan

Where is the BIG RED WARNING button?
by Jonathan Druart 31 Aug '17

31 Aug '17

Hi devs, I started the discussion during today's dev meeting. As RM I realise that I need a big red warning button to push to trigger help when there is something urgent to do. The last problem has been the already famous checkin issues (see bug 18966 and ancestors). They were marked as "blocker" for the last 2 months and affected all the stable releases. I tried to alert you several times but I did not really receive the attention needed. There are several ways to help you to know easily what is waiting for urgent attention: - The dashboard displays a "bug tracker health status" which shows blocker, critical and major bugs (http://dashboard.koha-community.org) - This section can be easily displayed on your own bug tracker using http://dashboard.koha-community.org/bz_status - I report on the kanban the tasks waiting for help, there is also a red "important" tag to highlight some. The columns list the bugs in the different queues with the most importants on top ( https://tree.taiga.io/project/joubu-koha-rm-1711/kanban) - The "what's on in koha-devel" email list the bugs that are waiting for love I am not sure what I can do more to match your workflow, and I do not think I should propose something else. I really would like to avoid individual and repeated pings. I do not provide paid support to any customers and then, I do not understand why I care more about blocker and critical than paid support companies. If you do not think it is important, why should I? :) This discussion has to be done and answers to be given, I do not plan to push anything "big" until we have a solution. Indeed I do not want to take the risk to face another situation like that. Cheers, Jonathan
