Hi, My question is very short and easy: what sort of installation of koha could you advice? By git or by the tarball? I work on a migration of our ILS for koha. Best regards samuel

4 patches i'll push tomorrow...
by Paul Poulain 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Hello koha-devel, There are a few patches that are waiting for too long in my "passed QA" list: * 7144 Floating collection * 7092 Complete-subfield searches TraceCompleteSubfields syspref not working correctly * 7310 Improving permissions on lists (virtual shelves) * 6831 Enhanced Workflow for adding analytical records For those 4 patches, I couldn't test them successfully: * I took time trying to test them * I could not made the feature work (for 7144/7092/6831), maybe it's because of something i'm doing wrong or I can't reproduce correctly or my database doesn't have a needed configuration (MARC21 ?) I think it's unfair to block those patches because *I* can't test them properly. Other ppl have signed them off already, all of them have been examined in details. What annoys me is also that the feature freeze is close, so I want to push as many things as possible before. SO = i'll push them tomorrow, asking for more tests after pushing ! Note = don't think i'll do that frequently ;-) -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08

Hi to all, here at HackFest I'm working on bug 7430, to commit it into master and so for 3.8.0 This patch was written from Jared Camins-Esakov This patch entirely removes portions of the NoZebra code. As I know now 'NoZebra' mode is not working now in 3.6.x We need to write in documentation and setup that for 3.8 the only Serch Engine for Koha is Zebra. Cheers Zeno Tajoli

Hello all, I just pushed bug 7001: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7001 It contains a great enhancement that has been tested by many people, and resulted in a long long comments thread and fixes/changes. In a few word: * notices can now be in HTML format (not only txt) * notices can be associated to a branch (with a default notice) * the CSS, in case of html, are defined in a syspref (NoticeCSS and SlipCSS) BUT, as it touches a lot of files, I call here for more testing by more people !

Bugzilla problem and a plea
by Jared Camins-Esakov 17 Mar '12

17 Mar '12

Good morning. Those of you subscribed to koha-bugs may notice something surprising in your inbox today- a message that seems to indicate that a number of bugs that still exist (such as bug 6875) have been resolved. When, in shock, you go to look at the bug report and find out how this could be, you will see that the status remains unchanged. There seems to be an issue with dependencies in Bugzilla where the part of the message that says "This bug depends on another bug, bug XXXX which changed state to..." is missing. Just a heads-up on that, because it's a little disconcerting to see "RESOLVED--FIXED" in an e-mail about a bug that you *know* isn't resolved. That was the problem. My plea is this: if you see any bug reports (such as reports that you filed yourself) that have a status of Pushed to Stable or Pushed to Master (depending which is the final destination for the patch), please test the bug, and, if it's fixed, mark it resolved. We have more than 500 bugs with a pushed status, and most of the are probably no longer issues. It would be nice to tidy up Bugzilla a bit and get the bugs that are resolved off the "open bugs" list.

Acquisitions, safe to modify a basket's booksellerid?
by Kyle Hall 15 Mar '12

15 Mar '12

Hello all, I have a librarian who would like to have the ability to modify a basket's booksellerid in the Acquisitions module. They want to be able to do this because they frequently have to change vendors after beginning the initial ordering process. I don't feel I'm am very knowledgeable about this module, and was hoping to get some opinions on whether adding this feature would be safe, or would it cause problems. Thanks, Kyle
