What purpose do the 003 and 005 tageditor popup anchors serve?
by Indranil Das Gupta 08 Sep '14

08 Sep '14

Hi, I noticed that 003 and 005 tageditors do not actually have a popup to back them up. That unlike LDR (000), 007, 008 the tags 003 and 005 do not call any window.open function and their respective Clictag_<number> functions are blank. what is the purpose for having these tageditor links around for these two? curious to know :) -- 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.

problem with the title field in MARC 21
by Edisnel Carrazana Castro 04 Sep '14

04 Sep '14

Greetings to all. I have problems with the length of the title field (245-a) in MARC 21. When a very long title is entered, the application does not save the record in the database. I am using koha 3.0.6. Any help would come fine, thanks Concurso "Mi selfie por los 5". Detalles en http://justiciaparaloscinco.wordpress.com

New package for koha (master version)
by Zeno Tajoli 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

Hi to all, I have installed koha on a Linux debian wheezy amd64. I installed packages with koha-common, I find those new packages: Test::MockObject [not mandatory, new] DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader [mandatory, too old version, at least version 0.07039]. To install Test::MockObject it is enough the package libtest-mockobject-perl for wheezy. To install DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader the package libdbix-class-schema-loader-perl of wheezy it is not enough (the version is 0.07025). In debian jessie the version is ok (0.07041), I don't know if it is a good policy to insert it in Koha repo.

Bugs related to Zebra indexing for Unimarc
by Mathieu Saby 01 Sep '14

01 Sep '14

Hi Some time ago I wrote a few patchs for making unimarc indexing more precise, especially 7XX and 6XX fields. One has just been signed off by Nick Clemens (thanks!), a MARC21 librarian. Could some UNIMARC people make the QA for it? http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9828 (for 6XX fields: subjects) During the test, we discovered that it was not possible to index some fields depending on the value of MARC indicators. It would be a nice improvement, so I created a bug for that (but I won't work on it...) http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12813 He was about to sign the 2d patch about 7XX fields (authors) http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9352 But there is an issue that I am not sure to be able to fix: The patch index only relevant subfields in author index (so, no more the profession of the author, its date, or its address, because those information are not here to be searched by users, but to disambiguate authors). As a result, each subfield is indexed separately in "phr" and "word" index. So the complete name is no more searchable with "au:phr" index Ex : in master, you can retreive a record with "Doe John" in "au:phr" index if you have 700$aDoe$bJohn with the patch, you get 0 record I don't want to spend days on that... so do you know if the problem occurs also for MARC21? Is there a way to resolve it by using some (new?) template in *koha-indexdefs-to-zebra.xsl ? Regards, Mathieu Saby*

GPL licensing and Javascript

There's a few points to be aware of for us here: http://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/609709/7f0fa0e255e8143b/ Scroll down to the "JavaScript and the GPL" section (or, read the whole thing. Some might find certain parts have a slight air of familiarity about them.) -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF

Re: [Koha-devel] VAT/GST rewrite

So we need to change all the price DB fields to something >like decimal(13,4). Quick thought: not sure what other institutions use for "accounts", but we use Sage software which sets up the MySQL db to *two* decimal points for all items and at all three tax levels (0, 5 and 13%) -- it would perhaps be useful, particularly if other accounting systems do the same, to maintain consistency (or at least allow the choice.) The rounding errors are minor (they rarely if ever cascade), but a PITA for the auditors. Best -- Paul

VAT/GST rewrite

Hello, As promised, I have just finished to translate the spec for the VAT/GST rewrite. You can found them on the wiki: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/GST_Rewrite_RFC Note that I am waiting for some feedbacks before starting the development. I really would like to know if the logic is good for all of you/your customers/use cases and if you agree on the values calculation. Regards, Jonathan
