Display errors of a new authentication system
by Tajoli Zeno 10 Apr '15

10 Apr '15

Hi to all, I want to add one more authentication system to Koha. LDAP/CAS/Shibboleh are not enough for a specific user !! I understand that: 1)I need to write a module C4/Auth_with_xx.pm 2)I need to insert the login / logout of this system inside C4/Auth.pm But I don't understand where I manage the errors during login (bad user name, bad password, etc.). In C4/Auth.pm I see only return of 1/0 from login function, not a more complex message. So, do we manage error from auth systems or not ?

Request regarding patch submissions...
by Mark Tompsett 09 Apr '15

09 Apr '15

Greetings, I don’t always have time to fix patches while testing them, so I just had the displeasure of setting a bug to ‘Patch Does Not Apply’. The cause? CSS files. If your patch modifies CSS files, please include them in a separate commit, so that the person testing can rebuild them from the less files (which is easy enough to fix while testing). If there is some standard practice regarding the CSS files, a URL to wiki information regarding that would be nice. I’m off for lunch. GPML, Mark Tompsett

Global bug squashing day 2015-04-13!
by Magnus Enger 09 Apr '15

09 Apr '15

Dear Community! Apologies for cross-posting... nah, not really. ;-) In the last community meeting it was decided that we should do a Global bug squashing day (GBSD) again, on Monday 2015-04-13: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/2015-04-13_Global_bug_squashing_day - 3.20 is due in the not too distant future, and we should make sure it has as few known bugs as possible - The QA team will have a QA sprint on the 17th (if I remember correctly), let's make sure they have a looong queue of signed off patches to work from! So grab your nearest dev install or sandbox and join the fun! Best regards, Magnus Enger PS And don't forget https://www.gofundme.com/TomasNeedsALaptop

Dropping support for squeeze and precise
by Robin Sheat 09 Apr '15

09 Apr '15

I'm very much considering dropping support for Debian squeeze and Ubuntu precise (12.04LTS) from the packages come the late-May release of Koha 3.20. This has come to something of a head here: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=13642#c58 where it'd probably be an inordinate amount of work to backport the required package, however it should just work on newer distros. It's also notable that Debian's jessie release is currently planned for April 25, so we'll continue to have two supported versions of this. So, while I'd like to ask if this is going to really ruin anyone's day, unless there's a particularly compelling reason, this is more or less a foregone conclusion now as it's reached the point where it's risking holding back features in Koha. So yeah, go and plan to upgrade to trusty (14.04) if you're on Ubuntu or wheezy if you're on Debian (or jessie if you're keen, though I haven't really tested the packaging on that yet.) -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF

DVD cover from Amazon
by Giuseppe Angilella 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Hi, assuming that the EAN (barcode: not an ISBN) on a motion picture's DVD should be entered in 024$a (Other Standard Identifier), is it possible to have Amazon's cover for that DVD displayed, as is the case when a (valid) ISBN is entered in 020$a for a monograph (book)? In other words, would it be possible to associate AmazonCoverImages and OPACAmazonCoverImages option also to a non-empty 024$a MARC field? I've posted this message earlier on the users' list, but it's probably a "new feature request", rather than a request for help on usage. Would you recommend me to post that on http://bugs.koha-community.org as such? Many thanks and best regards, Giuseppe.
