Migration Question
by Lisa Priebe 09 Jul '12

09 Jul '12

Hi I'm wondering if anyone has converted a library from a paper-based catalog to Koha through a method other than manual entry of items into the Koha catalog. I am talking to a library that would like to use a product such as Book Crawler to scan items and create records, then some time in the future use these to migrate to Koha. Any ideas if this will work?

[discussion] Privacy issue (bug 3280)
by Paul Poulain 08 Jul '12

08 Jul '12

Hello Koha users & developers, The bug 3280 fixes a problem in cart sending in opac : the behaviour has changed, and for security reason, it will be possible only for logged-in users. A question has also been raised : we could also add the IP address of the sender in the mail that Koha sent. Do you think : 1- we could 2- we should 3- we shouldn't (and why) I start arguing = I think we should, and in France, I think it's a legal issue, you must be able to answer any legal request from a court (9-11, thank you :\ ) It's right we have the username, but the IP address is a good complement -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08

BibLibre efforts on reversing developments and you
by Claire Hernandez 08 Jul '12

08 Jul '12

Hello, We continue to invest a lot of time and energy to this task (and signoff and qa) but it seems that today, the goal fixed at the beginning of the year can't be reached, because in 3 months no progress is really noticable... Have a look https://docs.google.com/a/biblibre.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuZF5Y_c4pIxdHE… I found 37 bugs assigned to BibLibre people which are in a "Needs Signoff" status. I follow 25 of them with a special attention in the google doc: https://docs.google.com/a/biblibre.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuZF5Y_c4pIxdHE… https://trello.com/board/community-biblibre-koha-devs/4f1d247284210f0e6300d… We could continue (would like) to provide more patches and features (serials and all others). I would like to keep the queue under 20-30 to avoid rebasing all the time. There is also a dependency "problem". Today, we really would like to see these 3 bugzilla moving forward: - 5335 More granular VAT => I know that not everybody is interested in and this is a big patch and big work - 5342 Serial claiming improvement - 7294 status "in order" (not in needs signoff today but soon, keep an eye on it) Thanks in advance for your committment for signing patches, Claire; On 05/03/2012 17:12, Claire Hernandez wrote: > Hello all, > > I wrote a blog post about our developments and the community > integration.

OPAC session invalidation due to changing IP
by Lebbeous Fogle-Weekley 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

Hi all, My question concerns a Koha 3.6.4 site. A significant number of patrons seem to be reporting that they frequently get their login sessions invalidated with the following message: "You are logging from a different IP address. Please log in again." This happens often enough to prevent them from placing all the holds or renewals that they would like. Now I could imagine that in fact, their IP addresses are rapidly changing due to a misbehaving ISP. In this case, I would expect there to be little remedy for the situation as the code stands today . I looked at C4::Auth::check_api_auth() and C4::Auth::check_cookie_auth(), and I do understand why under normal circumstances, it is a good idea to invalidate sessions once they're accessed by a second IP address. But are there other possible explanations for why users would encounter this message, or can anybody recommend troubleshooting steps that would either confirm or deny that the affected patrons' IP addresses do change? Network layer troubleshooting is as welcome a suggestion as any, but if there is something in, say, the Koha logs that could also help, I would appreciate any pointers.

Re: [Koha] KohaCon 13 Survey Problem

Nicole's solution makes sense - if you feel like you voted in error, you are being given the chance to revote. And if you haven't voted yet, you now know the rules. Seems very fair to me.

KohaCon 13 Survey Problem
by Nicole Engard 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

Hello all, I wasn't clear when I sent out the survey for KohaCon and per a discussion in #koha I'm coming to you to see if you'd like me to rerun the survey so you can update your votes. Here's how it works - and how it worked in previous years: If you vote for someplace as #1 it gets 5 points, #2 it gets 4 points, and so on. In the end we tally the points to see where the conference takes place. That way if everyone picks one place as #1 but more people pick it as second and third it still might win. So basically if you won't go somewhere no matter what then don't vote for that location and it will get no points from you. This means that those of you who didn't know the rules - because I didn't make it clear at all (my fault) might not have voted the way you would have if you knew the rules. So my question to you all is ... should I close voting and put out a new call for votes explaining the procedure more clearly - or do we just carry on as we are? Nicole
