Bug 10549
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 13 Aug '13

13 Aug '13

I've just pushed 10549 into the stable branch 3.12.x. It changes the encoding of the ILS-DI webservice. As I don't use it, I'm not aware if the different clients correctly parse this encoding change. If you use it, please test the current stable branch so we don't break anything for people. Regards To+

Bug 7684: inventory
by sonia lemaire 12 Aug '13

12 Aug '13

Hi, I know, Global bug squashing day is over (I won't be late for the next one ;-) ) but the patch for bug 7684 still needs signoff. http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7684 : inventory : datatable fix actions etc. This patch is very important for French libraries because inventory should be done every year and it's impossible without this module. Can someone test it, please? You can find a test plan in comment 19. Thank you for having a look! -- Sonia Lemaire Biblibre - Pôle support

Here are the numbers before: Needs Signoff...157 (54 bugs) Signed Off.......90 (46 bugs) Passed QA........28 (12 bugs) Failed QA.......150 Doesn't apply....26 In Discussion...119 and after: Needs Signoff...138 (44 bugs) Signed Off......116 (62 bugs) Passed QA........29 (13 bugs) Failed QA.......145 Doesn't apply....26 In Discussion...121 "Needs signoff" went from 157 to 138, which is not too shabby, considering this is probably a time when a lot of people are on holiday.

So let go of everything else and come join the fun! Get your name on the dashboard for the first time or see if you can climb in the ranks!

StackExchange alternative on ask.koha-community.org
by Pablo Bianchi 08 Aug '13

08 Aug '13

Hi all! Following StackOverflow sites like askubuntu.com or ask.libreoffice.org, I wonder what you think about using an open source alternative like Askboot (or OSQA, or Coordino) on ask.koha-community.org. For English <http://ask.koha-community.org/en/>ask.koha-community.org/en/, es/ for Spanish, and so on; using the same login as other Koha services like the wiki. I think it's a much better way to solve mortals most common issues.

I've cced this mail to my colleague that wrote MARC::Transform, because both tools could interract. I also suggested him to see if it would be possible/a good idea to also be able to store the results into Koha ILS directly.

Searching apostrophes
by Ian Bays 06 Aug '13

06 Aug '13

Hi. I know that searching terms with apostrophes has been problematic in the past but we are now seeing a new level of problems and I wondered if anyone has seen the same symptoms and has any advice or workarounds that might help. Searching for an author such as O'Brien brings back almost the whole catalogue if we have QueryAutoTruncate or QueryFuzzy or QueryStemming switched on. With them off: If I search for O<space>Brien in the "simple search" box it brings back all records with either O or Brien (far too many). If I use Advanced Search> Author and search for O Brien then it returns just those with O AND Brien in an author tag (close enough in this case). If I use the "Library Catalog" pull-down to select "Author" and search for O Brien it brings back all records with either O or Brien in an author tag (too many). We also have a problem with linking bibs to authorities which in combination with this issue is giving major headaches. If anyone has any pointers or knows how to get round or over this problem I would love to hear from you. More details on request... We are using Zebra dom indexing and icu chains and are using Koha 3.12 on Debian. We are not yet using QueryParser.
