Patch to fix Zebra facets
by David Cook 22 Jan '17

22 Jan '17

Hi all, It would be great if https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17871 could get some love. It fixes the issue where Zebra facets aren't retrieved when using newer versions of YAZ. It's just a configuration change, so it's something I've already done locally, but it would be good to have out of the box for everyone. Just realized it doesn't have a test plan. I'll type one up now. David Cook Systems Librarian Prosentient Systems 72/330 Wattle St Ultimo, NSW 2007 Australia Office: 02 9212 0899 Direct: 02 8005 0595

Developers, expect patches to no longer apply
by Kyle Hall 19 Jan '17

19 Jan '17

Hey all, I just wanted to alert everyone to that fact that I just pushed the following bug patches: Bug 16239 - Upgrade Bootstrap in the staff client Bug 17196 - Move marcxml out of the biblioitems table I expect this will cause a good number of patches to no longer apply with hopefully trivial fixes required.

Greetings, The follow up patch from Kyle on bug 13113 is not in master and is the reason my testing in kohadevbox is failing. Could someone fix that and check previous versions too? GPML, Mark Tompsett

About defaults of indicators for auth merges
by Tajoli Zeno 18 Jan '17

18 Jan '17

Hi Marcel, I write to you and here same thoughts about defaults of indicators for auth merges. You say: "We actually need framework default indicators first to address merges crossing the authtype border correctly". As start we need to remember that indicators for Auth are different from Biblio indicators (see bug 14769). I think this true only for this specific case: auth 'A' type '1' merge auth 'B' type '2' = auth 'CC' type '3' in case auth 'A' type '1' merge auth 'B' type '2' = auth 'CC' type '1' we need to use indicators of auth 'A' The code of bug 9701 is about Biblio indicators. We need new code, in different .pl, and new columns, in different tables, for authority.

Bug 17908 Authority merge omnibus
by Marcel de Rooy 14 Jan '17

14 Jan '17

Hi all, There is a lot of code to *merge* on merging authorities. (Among others, bugs 5572 and 11315 and 11700 are offering parallel solutions.) I moved all relevant reports (imo) to this omnibus, and propose a strategy there to get this moving. As a self-appointed 'feature manager' I closed and blocked a few bugs in this regard. I would like to also move some patches or copy some code to other reports while keeping the attribution to the original authors. Do you agree and would you be so kind to follow along? Other thoughts ? Thanks, Marcel

Update the SQL reports (Remove biblioitems.marcxml field)
by Jonathan Druart 13 Jan '17

13 Jan '17

Hi devs, Bug 17196 is on its way to master, that means that some SQL reports from our wiki will be obsolete. https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library#Query_MARC We need to provide to libraries the examples of equivalent reports to help them updating their custom reports. It seems very easy to update the reports from the wiki, but we will need to propose the 2 versions (with and without the biblioitems.marcxml field). As the marcxml will be moved to the biblio_metadata.metadata field, the reports are very easy to update, for instance: 1/ Simple request on the biblioitems table: SELECT biblionumber, ExtractValue(marcxml, 'count(//datafield[@tag="505"])') AS count505 FROM biblioitems HAVING count505 > 1; Will become: SELECT biblionumber, ExtractValue(metadata, 'count(//datafield[@tag="505"])') AS count505 FROM biblio_metadata HAVING count505 > 1; 2/ With info from the biblio table: SELECT biblionumber, substring( ExtractValue(marcxml,'//controlfield[@tag="008"]'), 8,4 ) AS 'PUB DATE', title FROM biblioitems INNER JOIN biblio USING (biblionumber) WHERE biblionumber = 14; Will become: SELECT biblionumber, substring( ExtractValue(metadata,'//controlfield[@tag="008"]'), 8,4 ) AS 'PUB DATE', title FROM biblio_metadata INNER JOIN biblio USING (biblionumber) WHERE biblionumber = 14; 3/ Move complex query: SELECT concat(b.title, ' ', ExtractValue(m.marcxml, '//datafield[@tag="245"]/subfield[@code="b"]')) AS title, b.author, count(h.reservedate) AS 'holds' FROM biblio b LEFT JOIN biblioitems m USING (biblionumber) LEFT JOIN reserves h ON (b.biblionumber=h.biblionumber) GROUP BY b.biblionumber HAVING count(h.reservedate) >= 42; Will become: SELECT concat(b.title, ' ', ExtractValue(m.metadata, '//datafield[@tag="245"]/subfield[@code="b"]')) AS title, b.author, count(h.reservedate) AS 'holds' FROM biblio b LEFT JOIN biblio_metadata m USING (biblionumber) LEFT JOIN reserves h ON (b.biblionumber=h.biblionumber) GROUP BY b.biblionumber HAVING count(h.reservedate) >= 42; So basilly "biblioitems" becomes "biblio_metadata" and marcxml becomes "metadata". We could almost script it! The only difficulty I see is when we will need infos from the biblioitems table, we will need to add a join on biblio_metadata. I was going to add the biblio_metadata version on the wiki, but, the first example of ExtractValue is completely wrong. It says that 2 queries are equivalent ("they are equivalent") and that "they return the whole 952 field". Which is totally wrong. The work is a bit more complex than expected apparently, this wiki page need to be updated and cleaned first. Then we will be able to provide equivalent queries. Cheers, Jonathan

Re: [Koha-devel] [NEW_TOPIC] Getting bugs further
by Marcel de Rooy 12 Jan '17

> I guess there's no straight answer. It will depend on signoffers and QA people's opinion. People tend to focus on the stuff they care, lately, so that's why I said... > Sometimes people just drop some patches and wait for others to care about them. And it doesn't work like that most of the time. Shouldn’t we as a community do something about this evolving trend then? If we scare away developers by ignoring their patches, the community is not better off in the long run (imo). So, we should signoff or QA not only what we need or like. Isn’t that something for the bug wranglers too? Marcel
