check in /check out fails
by Samuel Desseaux 17 Jan '13

17 Jan '13

Hi, Upon trying to check items out to a patron this message appears: -- Software error: Can't call method "subfield" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 3008. The item gets checked out (i.e. it appears in the list of items checked out to the client when you go return to the checkout page). The same happens with check in. The items get checked in, but Koha stops at the error message. What can i do? best, samuel

changing a status to "need signed off'"
by Mathieu Saby 16 Jan '13

16 Jan '13

Hello I made a followup for http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8946, so I want to mark it "need signed-off" but I can't. The bug was already pushed to master. Maybe should I have made a new bug for my followup ? Regards, M.

RM and QA roles (important!)
by Jared Camins-Esakov 14 Jan '13

14 Jan '13

Good morning. I thought about using the subject "In search of lost time," but I decided that was a bad idea given how few people actually manage to get through Proust. I am writing with a discussion question for the community. According to the dashboard, at the moment we have 120 bugs with the status "Needs signoff" (25% of these are classified as "bugs" instead of "enhancements" or "new features") and 94 bugs with the status "Signed off" (50% bugs). 2 bugs have the status "Passed QA" and are waiting for feedback from their authors before I push them. There are two lessons we can learn from these numbers: 1) if everyone currently involved with Koha made a commitment to test two patches in January, we could get through the backlog for 3.12 2) we have a QA bottleneck. Please consider lesson 1, but this e-mail is actually about lesson 2. QA is an inherently time-consuming process, and the pool for QAers is much smaller than that for signing off. I expect that as we approach the deadlines for 3.12 the number of bugs awaiting QA will decrease. Unfortunately, the amount of time I have to deal with those bugs will not increase, even though I am spending somewhat less time than I planned dealing with RM duties this month. So, I come to the community with a question: what would people think of me using that time to QA bugs (as opposed to enhancements/new features) that I was not involved in the authorship or signing off of? I would prefer not to do this, but after a month and a half as RM it seems to me that this might be in the best interest of the community and the best way to release a stable and feature-full 3.12. QAing signed off patches would naturally take a much lower priority for me than addressing patches that have already passed QA, but every patch I QA is a patch that our overworked QA team does not have to QA. Thoughts? Also, on a somewhat-related subject, I will be away from January 25-February 4. Keep that in mind if you intend to have any questions that only the RM can answer at the end of the month.

My Zebra Indexing with ICU option is not working
by Waqar Azeem 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

After enabling the ICU option manually, it's not working for my huge data until I deleted the most of the biblio records. I tried following links/articles to configure ICU: • http://www.scribd.com/doc/45190333/ICU-Support-in-Zebra • And http://kohageek.pbworks.com/w/page/31484686/zebra%20configuration%20for%20r… Then only difference was, I modified <icu_chain locale="en"> to blank <icu_chain locale=""> instead of <icu_chain locale="en_IN.UTF-8">. As I am not sure what to do with locale for other languages So, 1 - I am getting these warining? Although I have already renamed my default.idx located at /home/koha/koha-dev/etc/zebradb/etc (i hope this is the right location) ==================== REINDEXING zebra ==================== 12:22:45-10/01 zebraidx(2057) [warn] Unknown register type: 0 12:22:45-10/01 zebraidx(2057) [warn] Unknown register type: n 12:22:45-10/01 zebraidx(2057) [warn] Unknown register type: y 12:22:45-10/01 zebraidx(2057) [warn] Unknown register type: d 2 - Right after that I have this warning [warn] previous transaction didn't reach commit 3 - I deleted the records upto just 9000. Now zebra started to index other languages. Why it is working only on this small set of data? Do i need to define any escape sequence somewhere for some special characters. I am using 3.08.00.001 on Debean VM I hope this is the right command to re-index. koha@koha:~$ export PERL5LIB=/home/koha/kohaclone/ koha@koha:~$ export KOHA_CONF=/home/koha/koha-dev/etc/koha-conf.xml koha@koha:~$ /home/koha/kohaclone/misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r -v -- Thanks & Best Regards, Waqar Azeem

"Damaged" values
by Paul 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

In our "Authorized values" > "Damaged", we have added a term "Normal wear" to the Koha defaults 0, 1 and 2: 0 Not damaged Not damaged 1 Damaged Some damage noted 2 Unknown Condition not stated 3 Normal wear Normal wear However, in both staff interface and OPAC, "normal wear" items are appearing as damaged I assume (maybe incorrectly) that the value of "damaged" is read by detail.pl starting line 196: if ($item->{damaged}) { $item->{itemdamagedloop} = GetAuthorisedValues($authvalcode_items_damaged, $item->{damaged}) if $authvalcode_items_damaged; } and then passed to detail.tt start line 310: [% IF ( itemloo.damaged ) %] [% IF ( itemloo.itemdamagedloop ) %] [% FOREACH itemdamagedloo IN itemloo.itemdamagedloop %] [% IF ( itemdamagedloo.selected ) %] <span class="dmg">[% itemdamagedloo.lib %]</span> [% END %] [% END %] [% ELSE %] <span class="dmg">Damaged</span> [% END %] [% END %] I have no experience with this type of 'loo' and 'loop' coding, but it seems to me that "normal wear" is not being picked up, and therefore the ELSE default "Damaged" is being used. Could some kind person please point me to the logic of these loops? Either a brief explanation here (preferred) or a pointer to a tutorial (I have googled with no success.) Or is there something more intrinsic|relevant to the use of authorized values for "damaged"? Bugs [3637] and 5797 may be germane.
