failover ldap servers
by mourik jan heupink - merit 22 Jul '14

22 Jul '14

Hi, Is it possible to provide two (or more) hostnames for (identical) ldap servers in koha-conf.xml? That way you'd have failover if one ldap fails. Or perhaps define (separate) ldapserver id's (dc1, dc2) with identical content for the various DC's? Or..? Kind regards, Mourik Jan

RFC: /svc/ API
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 22 Jul '14

22 Jul '14

Hi, on bug 12590 [1] we started a discussion on the current /svc API. Petter proposed extending the /svc/bib capabilities (which is great) but I noticed the current API does not respect the usual meaning of HTTP verbs for REST (specifically the meaning of POST). So I have a question: who is using the API and how difficult would be to adapt to using PUT instead of POST? Any thoughts? -- Tomás Cohen Arazi Prosecretaría de Informática Universidad Nacional de Córdoba ✆ +54 351 5353750 ext 13168 GPG: B76C 6E7C 2D80 551A C765 E225 0A27 2EA1 B2F3 C15F

GBSD 23-07: UTF-8 code cleanup
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 21 Jul '14

21 Jul '14

Hi, last general meeting we set Wednesday 23rd, July as our next Global Bug Squashing Day. This time, GBSD targets a specific problem: UTF-8 handling problems in Koha, for which a bug has been filled (bug 11944 [1]) and Jonathan Druart (Joubu) has been working on. The idea is to test Jonathan's work, and find bugs (and hopefully fix them). The key ideas on how data must be handled so no encoding problems arise can be found on the wiki [2]. Please notice that Jonathan's work is currently on a branch in Biblibre's git repo [3]. Biblibre has also set sandboxes for testing [4]. Sandboxes 6 and 16 have been set for this specific bug (MARC21 and UNIMARC respectively). We hope you can join us!

unimarc to marc21
by Giuseppe Angilella 18 Jul '14

18 Jul '14

Hi, I wonder whether it is possible to filter unimarc records retrieved from a Z39.50 server, and convert them "on the fly" into marc21 (and vice versa). Record_transform, a metaproxy module, claims to be able to perform such a conversion, but I couldn't figure out how to use it in conjuction with Koha. Many thanks, Giuseppe.

Bugzilla fields: assignee and complexity
by Marcel de Rooy 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Hi all, Some/many people do not really care about filling assignee or patch complexity when submitting patches to Koha. In the process of signoff or QA, it is helpful to see rightaway the author of the report and its supposed complexity (size). When glancing through the queues, I am inclined to favor patches with that information filled. If you agree, please enter that information too. Thanks! Marcel

RFC: Koha::Borrower::Pictures
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Hi, for bug 12578 [1] I was thinking of adding a 'timestamp' field to the 'patronimages' table. And got into the task of rewriting the CRUD methods for patron pictures into the Koha namespace, as an excercise for using DBIx in a real life example. Should I consider the use case where the library/user might want to attach more than one picture to a patron and choose a default? Even though I won't implement a UI for that, I can consider it in advance.

Change of Workflow in the existing system of KOHA for Placing New Orders in Acquisition
by Arun kumar 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Hello, We are working on various development pointers in Acquisition module to customize it according to our workflow Placing orders in KOHA 3.12 is vague to our organisation its consuming procedure for placing orders which can be acheived with minimal workflow i have crafted the workflow to meet our requirements, which includes ordering form SUGGESTION MANAGEMENT itself with an hyperlink from Accepted tab and passing suggestionid and biblionumber directly to neworderempty.pl further modifying this file with a new form with vendor and basket details and creating a basket with basketno and bookseller id and other credentials passed on to addorder.pl my question is that how do we create a new basket at neworderempty.pl and passing its details to place an order in addorder.pl, i have studied the code for creation of basket in basketheader.pl, and followed the same i don't understand where i went wrong My Sincere Appreciation towards any pointers, thanks in advance Regards Arunkumar Project Assistant National Institute of Oceanography

Jenkins tests update
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Yesterday I updated the master tasks script for launching unit tests. I did it so more tests are run (which were currently ommited). It looks like this: export TEST_QA=1 export JUNIT_OUTPUT_FILE='junit_output.xml' PERL5OPT='-MDevel::Cover' prove \ --timer --harness=TAP::Harness::JUnit \ t/ \ t/db_dependent/ \ t/db_dependent/Acquisition \ t/db_dependent/Circulation \ t/db_dependent/Holds \ t/db_dependent/Koha \ t/db_dependent/Labels \ t/db_dependent/Members \ t/db_dependent/Record \ t/db_dependent/Reports \ t/db_dependent/Search \ t/db_dependent/Serials \ xt/author/icondirectories.t \ xt/author/podcorrectness.t \ xt/author/translatable-templates.t \ xt/author/valid-templates.t \ xt/permissions.t \ xt/tt_valid.t \ xt/yaml_valid.t \ xt/single_quotes.t The difference with the previous is the addition of several (not all) t/db_dependent subdirectories. We cannot run prove recursively because not everything are unit tests. RMaints: If you agree with the change, I'll propagate (manually) this change to the stable branches tasks. Also, if anyone finds something still missing just let me know. For instance I haven't spent time on looking at t/ subdirectories.
