My role as QAA
by Travis Elliott Davis 25 Feb '13

25 Feb '13

Good morning. I recently accepted a job at a local software company, and starting on March 18 I will no longer be working full-time on Koha. I would like to complete my term as QAA, but I may not have as much time to devote to the project and I wanted to make sure there were no objections from the larger Koha community. It has been a pleasure working on Koha, and I look forward to staying in touch for a long to come even if my job prevents me from participating after May. Elliott Davis

biblio.datecreated and biblio.timestamp created but not displayed
by samuel desseaux 25 Feb '13

25 Feb '13

hi, When i create a record, biblio.datecreated and biblio.timestamp (099$c 099$d) are well created in the database but not displayed in the marc file. All seems to be ok but we have to add manually the date. I think it's a question of xsl but, in this case, which file can i modify? Best regards, samuel

MySQL - case insensitive
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 22 Feb '13

22 Feb '13

Hi, I've been working on some patches and realised the collation we use for it in Koha is case insensitive. This might have diverse side effects. As of authorised values (which i've been dealing with) I'd like to ask if it is ok they are case insensitive. If so, we should properly document it, and when creating a new category that is named the same (case insensitive) a previously defined one, we should alert the user instead of just adding the new authorised value. Anyway, I just wanted to hear your thoughts about this prior to filling a bug on this. Regards To+

Authority Marc Structure Import/Export Function
by David Cook 22 Feb '13

22 Feb '13

Hi all: What do folks think about adding an import/export function for the authorities marc structure frameworks? Chris has already done a great RDA framework for MARC bibliographic frameworks, which you can find here for download (http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/MARC_frameworks) However, RDA also creates changes to the MARC authority frameworks, and currently the only way to update those is for each library to manually update their authority MARC structures. If we have an import/export function, existing libraries can export and post their MARC authority frameworks so that everyone else can import it and save themselves some time and hassle. While MARC authority frameworks might not be as variable as bibliographic frameworks, since they are "authorities", it might not hurt to have this functionality in place for future updates to the MARC or for custom localizations.

Reminder about updatedatabase stanzas
by Jared Camins-Esakov 21 Feb '13

21 Feb '13

Good morning. Just a reminder that if you are copying an updatedatabase stanza, you *MUST* update the message that is printed for the user to reflect what your new database update does. It should include both a description and the bug number for *YOUR* bug. I have fixed this several times, but after the bug I'm looking at now, I am simply going to fail any patch that fails to update the message with something relevant.

Amazon Cover Images
by Sophie Meynieux 21 Feb '13

21 Feb '13

Hi, Some of our clients are using AmazonCoverImages or OPACAmazonCoverImages system preferences to display cover of items. But sometimes no cover is found although it exists in Amazon catalog. It is because images are identified by an internal number (ASIN) in Amazon whereas Koha uses ISBN. For old books, ASIN and ISBN10 are the same, but since ISBN13 exists, ASIN and ISBN do not match any more. This is explained here (I could not find the same page in english, but maybe you it could be translated) : https://partenaires.amazon.fr/gp/associates/help/t23/a1 It seems that Amazon provides some services to find ASIN from any ISBN but it's not clear for me how to use it. Has anyone already try them ? Sophie -- Responsable support BibLibre + 33 (0)4 91 81 35 08 http://www.biblibre.com

Some database indexes are missing
by Fridolyn SOMERS 21 Feb '13

21 Feb '13

Hie, I've just created Bug 9681 to propose to add some indexes in database. Those indexes are very important to speed up SQL queries, sometimes 100x faster. I think it can help form some queries in code but mainly for statistical reports. Feel free to discuss.
