Who all are purposing Koha as an Union Catalog?
by Indranil Das Gupta 18 Apr '16

18 Apr '16

Hi all, At a recent conference here, there was discussions about utilizing Koha as an Union catalog. I would like to know how many / if anyone here is using Koha in that manner. And what is the experience so far, the extent of custom development etc thanks -- Indranil Das Gupta Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://indradg.randomink.org/blog IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.

Re: [Koha-devel] [Koha] HTTP::OAI

If you're not on a Debian-based system, I'd try the following: cpan install App::Minus cpanm HTTP::OAI@3.28 Version 4.03 of HTTP::OAI is very broken, if I recall correctly.

Kohacon16 Program
by David Cook 18 Apr '16

18 Apr '16

Looks like an interesting Kohacon program at http://kohacon2016.lib.auth.gr/?page_id=2417! I'd heard that EBSCO was developing their own LSP (http://kohacon2016.lib.auth.gr/?events=a-new-open-source-library-platform-b uilding-and-integrating-microservices), but I hadn't heard many details. I'm surprised to see a "BIBFRAME and Koha" talk by Joy and Jesse from Bywater, but very interested to hear about it. Alas, I won't be going to Kohacon this year, as my spawn is a bit too small to leave at the moment. If Bywater are offering a sneak preview though, I'd be delighted to hear it : ).

Interface consistency: The buttons edition
by Owen Leonard 18 Apr '16

18 Apr '16

Sorry for being the guy who thinks way too much about buttons. I have added a section to the interface guidelines in the wiki all about buttons: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Interface_patterns#Buttons I think it's an accurate description of how we're doing things now. Please let me know if you have comments, disagree, or have a proposal for updating any of the de-facto standards we are working with. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org

How is relevance weighted in zebra search?
by Barton Chittenden 18 Apr '16

18 Apr '16

Hi, We just upgraded a library from Koha 3.0 to 3.22. After the upgrade, the library complained that the title "Golden Age" was at the bottom of their OPAC search results. I checked the obvious first: OPACdefaultSortField had been set to 'relevance' with OPACdefaultSortOrder set to 'ascending', which would definitely be backwards (least relevant first)... I changed to to 'ascending', and got exactly the same results. Restarting memcache didn't help. When I searched using yaz-client, I found that the results that were coming first in the list had the phrase "golden age" in 520$a. Here's the version of zebra: $ idzebra-config --version 2.0.59 At this point, I have two major questions: 1) Where do I check which fields are ranked more highly in a relevance search? (I would think that title should be ranked higher than 520$a -- summary). 2) Why didn't the sort order change when I changed OPACdefaultSortOrder from ascending to descending?

Update on RM
by Brendan Gallagher 17 Apr '16

17 Apr '16

Hi All - I had a really busy week last week and was not able to dedicate time towards testing and pushing code. I have a busy Monday morning, but then after that I will get that PQA low again. We have about 2 weeks until the freeze, just a reminder, not a rallying call yet. Hoping the final month after the freeze we can get Master wicked stable. :).

Improving Zebra logging
by David Cook 15 Apr '16

15 Apr '16

Hi all: As if you weren't all sick of me going on and on about Zebra. So you may or may not know that the Zebra logs are fairly useless in a package install of Koha. At Prosentient, we don't use package installs much, so I haven't noticed this until now, but here's a tip: If you want to see what requests are being made to Zebra, you can do the following: 1) vi /usr/sbin/koha-start-zebra 2) Under start_zebra_instance, you can change "-v none,fatal,warn" to "-v none,fatal,warn,request" (note that "request" is an undocumented log level but it should work. alternately remove none and requests should appear in the log) 3) sudo koha-zebra-stop 4) sudo koha-zebra-start 5) profit (or at least see the PQF which is sent to the server and whether you're getting errors or OK query responses) This is the kind of additional output you should expect to see: 14:15:00-17/11 zebrasrv(2) [request] Auth idPass kohauser - 14:15:00-17/11 zebrasrv(2) [request] Init OK - ID:81 Name:ZOOM-C/YAZ Version:4.2.30 98864b44c654645bc16b2c54f822dc2e45a93031 14:15:00-17/11 zebrasrv(2) [request] Search biblios OK 0 1 1+0 RPN @attrset Bib-1 @attr 1=1016 @attr 4=6 @attr 5=1 test Anyway, I wouldn't *actually* recommend changing /usr/sbin/koha-start-zebra since that's part of the koha-common package. but maybe someone would be interested in making change to the Zebra commands to allow for different logging levels. Other things to note: koha-zebra-restart isn't the same thing as koha-zebra-stop && koha-zebra-start. If you restart Zebra after changing the flags for daemon or zebrasrv, the changes won't be brought across.it's necessary to stop and start it again. even though the process is actually restarted. it seems to be restarted using the original configuration used when launching daemon in the first place.

Biblio level visibility
by Mark Tompsett 13 Apr '16

13 Apr '16

Greetings, Thanks to those who helped get bug 15870 into master. What I was hoping was to get biblio level filtering for MARC working better in the OPAC, particularly bug 11592. This will let me turn my attention back to OpacHiddenItems as a filter, so that the expected visibility of things will be correct across the board, and make overrides (bug 10589) easier. GPML, Mark Tompsett
