Tweak Null filter or add new one?
by Mark Tompsett 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

Greetings, Since the initialization of parameters is being done incorrectly for Koha::RecordProcessor, the question in my mind is: Do I tweak the Null filter to have an initialize method to be triggered for testing, or do I write a new filter for this regression test? Feedback appreciated. See Bug 15777. https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15777 GPML, Mark Tompsett

Discussion for Bug 14757 - Allow the use of Template Toolkit syntax for slips and notices
by Kyle Hall 08 Feb '16

08 Feb '16

I would like to start the discussion Marcel wanted to have at the dev meeting. Right now, we have one bespoke syntax for slips and notices with all kinds of caveats and limitations. My first instinct was that we should over time tear out this old syntax and replace it with TT. However, there are some issues: 1) TT is a bit more complicated ( and more powerful of course ) than our custom syntax 2) We have an editor for our current syntax ( though it is somewhat problematic to use at times, as not all fields in the editor are actually available on the notices where they display ) 3) Creating an editor for TT would be somewhat non-trivial if we were to replace what we have with a better and more advanced way of dealing with data passed to the slip or notice. I'm wondering if we should, at least for the time being, consider the existing notice syntax as the "basic" mode for slips and notices, and have the ability for TT in notices and slips be an 'advanced' mode. Basically, that means that nothing will change for librarians. The current syntax and editor will continue to be what they are. Instead, 'advanced' users can simply start using TT in their notices and slips. What we will do is document how to use TT in slips and notices in the manual. So, what I would do at this point is deprecate my replacement notices ( keeping the new methods where necessary for the advanced mode ), and create some good documentation. That way we get the power of TT while retaining backwards compatibility! What does everyone think?

Hi, At the risk of asking something very stupid, I was wondering why we utilize XSLT only for the biblio record and not for the holdings data in say opac-details.pl thanks in advance -- 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.

Serials - Next issue publication date management
by Francois Charbonnier 08 Feb '16

08 Feb '16

Hello all, Has any recent develpments change the way Koha manage the next issue publication date ? I noticed in 3.20, but also in master, that you can't change the next issue publication date when editing a serial subscription anymore. And, that we lost a feature I liked when receiving a new issue. Before 3.20, when receiving a new issue, you could change the "Published on" date and Koha will adjust the subscription's next issue publication date for all the new issues to be received. I quickly checked on bugzilla but can't find anything specific. Could it be https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12671 that broke this feature? The thing is, I don't mind if we lost a shortcut to edit the subscription's next issue publication date, but not being able to change it when editing the subscription itselft seems like a bug to me. Before reporting this, am I missing something? Thanks!

Apache error logs
by Paul A 08 Feb '16

08 Feb '16

For the last couple of days, our production server has "gone bonkers" with tens of thousands of the following: [Wed Jan 20 18:41:58 2016] opac-search.pl: Use of uninitialized value $code_wanted in string eq at /usr/share/perl5/MARC/Field.pm line 314. Appears to involve control fields MARC < 10 I have noted that two new (to us) spiders are quite busy, and date-times appear to correspond -- webmeup-crawler.com and ahrefs.com -- but I don't want to libel them before digging deeper (probably end up firewalling them.) It *might* have something to do with ISBD view. Has anyone got any thoughts? Thanks and best regards -- Paul

Need to improve anti-spam for opac-suggestions
by David Cook 08 Feb '16

08 Feb '16

Hi all, It looks like we may need to improve anti-spam for opac-suggestions.pl. A negative captcha was added with https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3144, but I'm noticing a distributed spam attack which appears to either be wise to the "negcap" field or is occasionally lucky to accidentally not put any data with that parameter. Back in the day, we decided not to go with a positive captcha for accessibility reasons. I suppose we do have a positive captcha in the patron self-registration (I think) so maybe we should add one here. Or. think of something else clever. Ideas?

Z39.50 Search Point error
by Akpokodje Vera N. 05 Feb '16

05 Feb '16

Urgent please! I will need help on how to get my Z39.50 protocol back to work to enable my library continue with Copy Cataloging. I configured the Z39.50 search point in the past and it had worked perfectly well until some few days ago when i started receiving "not found" error message for any material searched for (I do not know what went wrong). I have deleted all the libraries (Library of Congress,etc) added to the Z39.50 and re- added them all over again but still get the same error. This problem is delaying our work! Someone should please help me on this issue. Thank you Akpokodje Vera N. Systems Librarian / Analyst University of Jos Library,Jos, Plateau State.

Spam in IRC

Hi, IRC is flooded with spam. It would be nice to have somebody with op rights for EU mornings. There is nobody in the OFTC support channel either at this time. :/ -- Mirko
