FIXME in biblio.pm
by Paul 17 Dec '11

17 Dec '11

Good evening, First glitch with 3.06 has appeared: adding an 'item' after importing biblio via z39.50 is functional (it adds the item !!!) but the admin interface gives: Software error: Can't call method "subfield" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 3008. Lines 3006-3008 of biblio.pm called from additem.pl: # get title of the record (to store the 10 first letters with the index) my ( $titletag, $titlesubfield ) = GetMarcFromKohaField( 'biblio.title', '' ); # FIXME: should be GetFrameworkCode($biblionumber) ?? $title = lc( $record->subfield( $titletag, $titlesubfield ) ); Before I start looking elsewhere, can someone kindly help me with the use of FIXME comments? tnx and br, Paul

Kind Regards, Chris

Bugzilla : how to mark a file as obsolete
by Paul Poulain 16 Dec '11

16 Dec '11

Hello world, It seems that some of you have problem marking an attachment obsolete without attaching another file. I found how to do that a while ago, so, as I know, I share: * go to the bug * on the attachment line, you've 3 links: "file title/description", "Details" and "Diff". Click on Details * when you're on Details page: click on "Edit Details" (that's what is very hidden !)... Gotcha!!! I can obsolete or un-obsolete or update the comment, or add the patch flag!!! * click "submit" at the end of your patch ! (feel free to add this to the wiki if you think it's worth it) -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08

adding fields in XSLT (bug 7332)
by Paul Poulain 16 Dec '11

16 Dec '11

Hello, The bug 7332 (http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7332) add a new (242) field on the XSLT display. The question is: the XSLT does not contain all the fields we have in MARC21, so what must drive the content of XSLT ? Should we accept any patch (and have a huge XSLT at the end) ? Should we refuse any patch -except a bugfix- (and have a basic-but-enough XSLT) An Option between those 2 extreme positions ? I open the question, let me know your opinion !!! -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08

Bug 5636
by Marcel de Rooy 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Hi all, Patch 5636 should be next in passing qa now, but these questions remained open: Style question to the community: should core pages in the staff client (like tools/cleanborrowers.pl) have both a templated page in the staff client AND a command-line presence, or should the commandline tool be a separate script in misc/? At this time, there doesn't seem to be any precedent for inclusion in the core script. Before passing this patch for QA, I'd like to get some feedback, as this may both open doors for us, as well as create additional work to create consistency of implementation for existing jobs. Please respond if you want to share your opinion on this subject. Thanks. Marcel

dontmerge preference
by Nicole Engard 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

I need some assistance in documenting this preference: http://manual.koha-community.org/3.6/en/administration.html#dontmerge It says that the cron is required, but apparently its not: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7347 What should the manual say about the cron job? If it's not required then I can say that, but I know that it's still there so I assume it can be used and should be documented. Thanks Nicole

Jenkins back to unstable !
by Paul Poulain 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Hello (chris_c & others) Jenkins is back to unstable, because of XISBN.t test. build 562 was stable, and 563 is not, and I can't see where the problem can come from. BREAKING NEWS : (just before sending this mail) build 565 is stable again. The patch I pushed can't explain why we're stable. I'm really confused. Any idea warmly welcomed ! -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08

FW: A few patches waiting for your signature...
by Marcel de Rooy 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Just to mention another patch that I wrote myself ;) 6536 Z3950 Enhancements: SRU targets, MARC conversion, additional XSLT processing The functionality patch dates from June 30, but still applies. (We use it in production for 6 months now already!) The dbrev patch has been rebased last time on August 11. As you will understand, it needs rebasing constantly (updatedatabase stuff). The patch has a test plan with 12 steps on the wiki.

So it is not possible to have TT pre-compile the files?
