About "Free" as variabletype in Local use syspref definitions
by Indranil Das Gupta 04 May '15

04 May '15

Hi, I needed to add a few Local Use sysprefs - SMSSendUsername / SMSSendPassword - both of which are of 'Free' variabl type0 (the default type if the Koha Internal fieldset options are not used) IMHO having the option 'Free' offered as well in the list might be a good idea. I've filed a bug and posted a trivial patch against systempreferences.tt at http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14135 Would like some feedback. If the general opinion is it is not required, I'll close it as 'RESOLVED WONTFIX' 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.

Problems with Indexdata idzebra-2.0 build (Zebra 2.0.59)
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 04 May '15

04 May '15

There have been reports of problems with retrieving facets from Zebra using the latest idzebra build from IndexData's wheezy repository. I'm not able to install that version yet, to give it a try, I any one you succeeds please let me know so we track this down. For now, we should encourage people to use Debian's/Ubuntu's instead of adding IndexData's repo.

Language overlays or: On the way to finally resolve important translation issues in Koha
by Marc Véron 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

Dear Koha community, Koha is translated in almost 50 languages - but it has no possibility to switch between languages for authorised values and item types (or more generally: database content). This is a long outstanding issue, see the discussion on Bug 7789 (2012-03-22). And it is a really painful one for multilingual countries, organisations, schools, museums, libraries... Especially the OPAC looks not very professional when untranslated text pops up. There are several more or less ugly workarounds: 1) Have all language versions in the same description, e.g. for OPAC_SUG something like "Damaged | Beschädigt | Abîmé" "Upcoming title by popular author | Neuer Titel eines populären Autors |Oeuvre... ... ... " 2) Have some sophisticated JavaScript tricks 3) Have custom Plug-ins 5) Locally tweak the code 6) Provide custom packages A couple of days ago I filed Bug 14063 - Implement language overlay for authorised values It is a small, minimal invasive patch (19 lines) that uses additional entries in the table authorised_values. To use it, one can simply create an additional entry with a trailing language code, e.g. BSELL-de-DE or BSELL-fr-FR It can be used "As is" without any changes to the database or to the user interface. A similar patch for Item types (Bug 14064) is in preparation. In comment #5 on Bug 14063, Joubu proposes to have a more generic solution with a table with columns "type" column (will contain "authorised_values", "item_types", "sysprefs", etc.) and "lang" ('fr-FR', 'de-DE', etc.). The complexity will be to implement an ergonomic view to edit the different translation. I totally agree with this. Typo3 CMS, for example, works with such language overlays e.g. for page content, and it works great. I'm best willing to help to implement such a generic solution. However, my concern is that it could take a very long time to get there. Now I have following questions: - In what (realistic) timeframe / for what Koha Version could such a generic solution be implemented? - Based on your experience, what development time would be necessary? - Who could contribute to this (time, maybe funding)? - What do you think about kind of "Taskforce language overlay" - What do you think to have Bug 14063 (Signed-off) and later Bug 14064 as a transitory solution to fix the issue for the most exposed places (e.g. Search interface in OPAC)? - I know and share concerns about temporary solutions, but we simply would need a small SQL script to move the language overlays from tables "authorised_values" and "itemtypes" to the new overlay table (once the generic solution is ready). Looking forward to your comments! Have a great day! Marc Véron (mveron)

Greetings, While looking at bug 5685, I noticed the newer version is only licensed under MIT. Is that license compatible with the GPL3 that Koha is? GPML, Mark Tompsett

Re: [Koha-devel] [Koha] 3.18.06 Package Warning

The fix introduced in 3.18.06.1 was because fresh installs were possible but upgrades weren't. My fix ended up making it so that upgrades were possible, but fresh installs aren't. Now I've hopefully tested all the combinations and didn't encounter any issues, so have uploaded 3.18.06.2. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF

Hidden items associated item types turning up in facets - anyone done work on this?
by Liz Rea 28 Apr '15

28 Apr '15

Hi all, I'm just curious whether anyone has done work specifically on the hidden items and facets. I can see that there are bugs for hiding the associated item types from the Advanced Search, and quite a bit of work has been done to make the hiding more complete - but I wasn't able to find if anything had been done with the facets. Also quite curious if anyone has a thought on whether or not hiding associated item types will be easier or harder with 3.18+ (zebra facets). Please, share your thoughts!
