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.

07 Apr '15

Hello, I have just installed koha 3.14 on Redhat and migrated my records from koha 3.12 on Ubuntu to it. After importing and managing staged MARC records my system confirmed to me that i had 45420 records and 38529 items. But each time i search my OPAC (from both staff end and user interface) i do not see my item records, what could be the problem? I really need help please! Akpokodje Vera N.

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.
