Search operators
by Jared Camins-Esakov 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

Hello. As many of you know, I have been working on rewriting Koha's search code so that it is more palatable than a plate of burned nine-day-old spaghetti. The initial part of the development is nearing completion, and I look forward to submitting a patch to the community for sign off[1]. In the course of the first section of the development, I have run into an interesting question. We currently support greater than and less than operators in our searches, but I cannot think of anywhere we might want to use them other than with dates. Does anyone have any scenarios where a greater than/less than operator would actually be useful in a bibliographic or authority search (other than in date searches)? Regards, Jared [1] If you're interested in seeing my work so far, the search rewrite branch in my public repo has all the code: http://git.cpbibliography.com/?p=koha.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/search_re… The RFC is at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/C_%26_P_Search_Rewrite_RFCand I would still welcome any and all comments. -- Jared Camins-Esakov Bibliographer, C & P Bibliography Services, LLC (phone) +1 (917) 727-3445 (e-mail) jcamins(a)cpbibliography.com (web) http://www.cpbibliography.com/

Linting JavaScript files
by Owen Leonard 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

I'd like to start looking at our handling of JavaScript assets in a more structured way, hopefully adding some JavaScript unit tests in the future. Talking about linting seems like a good first step. Does anyone here use JSLint or JSHint to check their JavaScript? What would you all think of adding some guidelines asking that new contributions get linted? My vote would be JSHint (http://www.jshint.com/) -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org

Re: [Koha-devel] How to change fine calculation timing: another appeal
by Vimal Kumar V. 05 Dec '12

Dear Friends, I tried to connect cronjob with anacron. I added the following lines in anacron file. Open the file gedit /etc/anacrontab And add the following lines in it and save. 1 10 cron.daily koha-foreach /etc/cron.daily This line will execute Koha related crontab daily after 10 minutes when system start. I found that fine calculated and display in circulation module. Try yourself and give your feed back. Thank you Robin Sheat for inform us about the use of anacron for Koha cronjobs. -- Vimal Kumar V.

[QA] QA process
by Katrin Fischer 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hi all, We already agreed some time ago that the patch writer and the patch sign offer should not be from the same company/library/party. I would really like to extend that rule to also apply for patch writer and QA team member. For 3.12 we got a big QA team, which is great, because with all the ongoing work we are going to need it. And it also gives us more options and flexibility when it comes to these kinds of questions. I would like to get your opinions on this, can we agree on this new rule? Katrin

A question/suggestion on OPAC introductory page enhancement
by Manos PETRIDIS 01 Dec '12

01 Dec '12

I wonder if a list of recent additions could be added to the library initial OPAC page. It would have to be based on the library selected I suppose, and could be divided perhaps in sub-lists, based on item type, collection, target audience, etc. Is there already such a provision in koha that I am unaware of? I did a look-up on the bug-list and found a related recent entry: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7917 that could make such an enhancement more manageable. Kind Regards, Manos Petridis
