Question about an Acquisitions enhancement proposal
by Alex Buckley 29 Aug '23

29 Aug '23

Hi Koha community, I really enjoyed meeting many of you at KohaCon in Finland for the first-time in person!! I have a question. We have a partner library who is interested in sponsoring an enhancement so they can change the quantity in order lines of open baskets. Currently, if you click the 'Modify' link for an order line in an open basket and change the value in the Quantity text input a JavaScript popup appears telling you "You can't add a new item, please create a new order line" - see attached screenshot. Looking at the code I can see that JavaScript popup is coming from https://github.com/Koha-Community/Koha/blob/1403fd847a66432efda2c8724f61bcc… Before we go any further with starting work on making a bug report and writing this enhancement I wanted to check a few things with the community to make sure we start on the right track: Q1) Is adding the ability to change the quantity of order lines in open baskets a bad idea? Q2) Is there anything we should keep in mind? Q3) Do you have any suggestions of how to approach writing this enhancement? Any feedback, and suggestions, would be much appreciated. Kind regards, Alex

Admin access to Bugzilla
by David Cook 25 Aug '23

25 Aug '23

Hi all, Does anyone but Chris Cormack have admin access to Bugzilla? I've been locked out (due to posting too many links), and it would be great to get access back. I was hoping to do some work on Bugzilla today.

How did we implement Verovio?
by David Cook 25 Aug '23

25 Aug '23

Hi all, I've gotten auto-blocked on Bugzilla, so I figured I'd go to the listserv while I wait for my access to be restored. I was reading https://book.verovio.org/installing-or-building-from-sources/javascript-and- webassembly.html and it makes me think "koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/lib/verovio/verovio-toolkit.js" comes from https://github.com/rism-digital/verovio/releases However, it's not clear where "koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/lib/verovio/midiplayer.js" comes from. After some digging, I found that it comes from here: https://github.com/rism-digital/midi-player/blob/master/player/midiplayer.js I reckon we should include some links on the about.pl to show where we got the code. Anyway, my issue with it was how it dynamically creates HTML with "onclick" event handlers, which aren't compatible with Content-Security-Policy. I'll raise an issue with them. The git repo hasn't been updated in over 2 years but fingers crossed.

DBD::mysql unmaintained
by David Cook 23 Aug '23

23 Aug '23

Hi all, Daniël van Eeden, the person who releases DBD::mysql on CPAN and has push privileges to https://github.com/perl5-dbi/DBD-mysql, has said that he is no longer maintaining DBD::mysql. That explains why Ubuntus package seems to just be stacking up patches on top of the last release from 2019. (Im glad I dont use DBD::mysql from CPAN. I do use DBD::Pg from CPAN but its much better maintained.) Anyway, Im asking for more information about the future of DBD::mysql, and thought Id keep you all informed.

WARNING: MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT is deprecated and will be removed in a future version.
by David Cook 22 Aug '23

22 Aug '23

Hi all, If you're using Ubuntu, you may have noticed this message filling up your logs. It looks like Ubuntu recently released a version of libmysqlclient21 which outputs this warning message if you try to set MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT. DBD::mysql sets it to false and therein lies the problem: https://github.com/perl5-dbi/DBD-mysql/issues/354 At a glance, the only real short-term option seems to be to downgrade the MySQL client, but keeping my eyes open.

Re: [Koha-devel] [Koha] Where would I put the OpenLibrary ID in the MARC record
by Nigel Titley 15 Aug '23

15 Aug '23

Furthur on this and reading a bit more into MARC it looks like the information would go into MARC Field 024 with a source of 8. If there was a defined Standard Identifier for Openlibrary then the source would be 7 with the defined Standard Identifier for Openlibrary, but there isn't. I'm straying into Real Librarian Territory here and I'm starting to feel a little lost (I'm really just a programmer). If the person who wrote the code for fetching covers from Openlibrary is around I'd be grateful if they could confirm/deny what their code does (or even point me to where I could look it up myself). To this end I've copied in the Koha Development community. Or I may be barking up an entirely wrong tree. In which case feel free to say "Down boy, down".
