RFC Looking for feedback
by Kyle Hall 01 Apr '15

01 Apr '15

Hey all! I'm looking to get feedback on this enhancement before proceeding with development: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=13937 Some libraries have found that Koha doesn't work well with some external services like SHAREit that utilize z39.50 to get information about a record and its' items. a) We propose to add field 'status' to items table ( this field can be mapped to whatever MARC tag you wish ) b) Engineer a subroutine that would generate the item's status The precedence for status would be as follows: 1) Checked Out 2) Lost 3) Not for Loan 4) Damaged 5) On Hold ( In Transit ) 6) In Transit 7) On Hold This status could eventually be used within Koha to simplify our status display logic, but that is outside the immediate scope of this enhancement. http://www.kylehall.info ByWater Solutions ( http://bywatersolutions.com ) Meadville Public Library ( http://www.meadvillelibrary.org ) Crawford County Federated Library System ( http://www.ccfls.org )

Browser-based tests
by Jonathan Druart 31 Mar '15

31 Mar '15

Hello devs, A (very) quick email to let you know I have submitted patches on bug 13691 - Add some selenium scripts and bug 13849 - Introduce acceptance tests with cucumber I would like to start a discussion on these subjects: selenium, cubumber, browser-based tests, acceptance tests, etc. What are you opinions? Should we stuck to Test::WWW::Mechanize or it's worth to have a look somewhere else? Useless ? Worth a try ? Very useful ? Cheers, Jonathan

Install and use memcached
by Tajoli Zeno 27 Mar '15

27 Mar '15

Hi to all, I'm starting to use memcached. I see that there isn't many info in Koha wiki. I installed it with sudo apt-get install memcached on Debian Wheezy Setup the variables in koha-httpd.conf It works !! So the questions: Is the package libmemcached useful to install ? For apt-get it is only 'suggest' How much RAM ? The default in /etc/memcached.conf is 64 MB, I don't what could be a 'good' value.

Hello, I have just installed koha (3.14) on a Redhat OS. I migrated my bibliographic record which included the item records to the new system from my old system running koha (3.12) on Ubuntu OS Then, from Manage staged MARC records in tools, i could see that a total of 45420 Records and 38529 items have been migrated successfully and cleaned Then i ran the command" /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -r -v to rebuild Zebra But each time i search for materials from the OPAC, the items are not available Is there anything i have not done?

Re: [Koha-devel] Errors generating fr-FR templates in 3.18.5

Just going to post my fixes here as well and post to koha-translate as well Im sure Im doing something wrong, but hopefully someone will point that out. Around line 32766, I added the line "Rapport %s&rsaquo; Rapports sauvegardés &rsaquo; " as it was missing from the translated version. msgstr "" "Koha &rsaquo; Rapports &rsaquo; Assistant de rapports %s&rsaquo; Rapports " "sauvegardés %s&rsaquo; Créer à partir d'une requête SQL %s&rsaquo; Rapports " "sauvegardés &rsaquo; Vue SQL %s&rsaquo; Rapports sauvegardés &rsaquo; %s " "Rapport %s&rsaquo; Rapports sauvegardés &rsaquo; " "Modifier le rapport SQL%s&rsaquo; Construire un rapport, étape %s sur 6: " "%sChoisissez un module %sChoisissez un type de rapport %sSélectionnez les " "colonnes à afficher %sSélectionnez un critère de limitation de la requête " "%sChoisissez les colonnes sur lesquelles faire un total%sChoisissez l'ordre " "dans lequel vous voulez afficher les résultats%s %s" Around line 58245, I just added the obvious missing %s. msgid: "You searched for: %s" msgstr: "Vous avez recherché :" I figure these manual changes will work locally, but I imagine its more complicated than just updating the PO file since PO files might be automatically generated from the English templates?

New RESTful API
by Julian Maurice 20 Mar '15

20 Mar '15

Hi all, During the hackfest in Marseille, we talked a lot about the new RESTful API and how to integrate it into Koha. Discussions have been summarized in the wiki page [1], in particular in sections "Suggested way forward" and "API Protocol Specification". A proof-of-concept patch was made and is attached to Bug 13799 [2]. It uses Mojolicious and its Swagger2 plugin (more details on the wiki page). This will be used as a base for building the API. So, please have a look at it and report any problem you can think of.
