To do that edit ~/.bash_profile with your favorite editor and add :/usr/local/bin to the path. PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin export PATH And that file definitely has that those 2 lines in it? Chris

In koha 3.2 I used to be able to access the 856$u filed with the  variable in the opac-results.tmpl file. Can someone give me a hint on how I can access it in 3.4, in the opac-results.tt file?

Testing updatedatabase.pl changes
by Marcel de Rooy 10 Aug '11

10 Aug '11

Hi all, In order to test such changes, I normally make an edit like: $DBversion = "3.05.00.xxx"; if (1||C4::Context->preference("Version") < TransformToNum($DBversion)) { $dbh->do("UPDATE marc_subfield_structure SET kohafield = NULL WHERE tagfield = 952 AND tagsubfield = 'f' AND kohafield = 'items.coded_location_qualifier'"); print "Upgrade to $DBversion done (remove non-existant 'items.coded_location_qualifier' column)\n"; #SetVersion($DBversion); } Note the 1 in the if and the # before SetVersion. This prevents an error on the wrong comparison (string comparison is: lt) and also an XXX in my Koha testversion. I suppose that not everybody makes such changes and therefore some updatedatabase changes are not tested well ?? (I just had one at hand while signing off.) In patch 6536 I included the following lines to eliminate such changes for testing: @@ -4396,6 +4408,10 @@ sub TransformToNum { my $version = shift; # remove the 3 last . to have a Perl number $version =~ s/(.*\..*)\.(.*)\.(.*)/$1$2$3/; + # three X's at the end indicate that you are testing patch with dbrev + # change it into 999 + # prevents error on a < comparison between strings (should be: lt) + $version =~ s/XXX$/999/; return $version; } sub SetVersion { - my $kohaversion = TransformToNum(shift); + return if $_[0]=~ /XXX$/; + #you are testing a patch with a db revision; do not change version + my $kohaversion = TransformToNum($_[0]); if (C4::Context->preference('Version')) { my $finish=$dbh->prepare("UPDATE systempreferences SET value=? WHERE variable='Version'"); $finish->execute($kohaversion); My question is: Does anybody object to submitting this change as a separate patch in order to facilitate db rev testing? I think it is an advantage to leave the version as is when you are only testing the db rev. Thanks, Marcel

Restricting access to acquisition baskets
by Edgar Fuß 09 Aug '11

09 Aug '11

Currently, while booksellers.pl tries to restrict a user's ability to view baskets, that's easily circumvented simply by altering the basketno CGI parameter to, e.g. baket.pl. I can think of three ways to close this security hole: 1. Check permissions in every script that deals with baskets. This would probably require an addition to C4::Auth. 2. Randomise basket numbers. 3. Add a random key to each basket that must be given as a CGI parameter (in addition to basketno) in order for a script to allow access to that basket. Please note that for my own part, I'm unaffected by this problem. I have only a single branch and allow access to all that branches' baskets anyway. Nevertheless, I would give implementing a fix a try if there is consensus on which way to go.

Duplicate records remain after being unstaged, cleaned
by Hartman, David W. - GBTS Library 09 Aug '11

09 Aug '11

Hello! I added book records (all original records), then when I imported some copy 2s, I noticed errors. I reversed the import but the duplicate records remained. They were supposed to be copy 2s, etc. but now they are in the catalog as multiple records. I did reverse the record import but the records have remained. When I try to manually delete them it says the record does not exist .. yet it shows up in the catalog... any ideas how to delete these records? Any help would be great. David

email_in.pl feature
by Paul Poulain 08 Aug '11

08 Aug '11

Hello, I see on http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/3.0/html/api/email_in.html that there is a feature to create a bug with an email, and this script does that. 2 questions: * is it activated on our bugzilla ? * how/where can I find this script and set it up on my laptop ? A 3rd question : is there such a feature for the wiki, that would let me create a page from an email ? How do I want that: I have a spreadsheet of 134 improvements being sponsored by a library and developed by BibLibre, and it would be a nightmare to enter all of this manually on both wiki & bugzilla ! -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08
