koha-sites.conf, indexing_mode entries
by Bruns, Anke 14 Jan '23

14 Jan '23

Hi, there is a dpkg-dist version of /etc/koha/koha-sites.conf with some changes concerning Zebra. The following passages have obviously been removed from koha-sites.conf with 22.05 or before: > # BIBLIOS_INDEXING_MODE: 'dom' | 'grs1' > # Indexing mode for bibliographic records > # default: 'dom' > BIBLIOS_INDEXING_MODE="dom" > > # AUTHORITIES_INDEXING_MODE: 'dom' | 'grs1' > # Indexing mode for authority records > # default: 'dom' > AUTHORITIES_INDEXING_MODE="dom" Is it safe to use the new koha-sites.conf without these entries? I'm asking because I cannot find a bug or any relevant information on why and when they were removed.

E-Mail borrowers.sort1
by KAZIM ŞENTÜRK 14 Jan '23

14 Jan '23

Hello, E-mails are automatically sent to our users at KOHA. There is an option to add a header to e-mails from the table that we would like to add. When we select borrowers.sort1, only the code is shown in the e-mail. I would like to add the description of Bsort1 in the authorized values to the e-mails. Best wishes Kazım ŞENTÜRK

Encryption and Pseudonymization settings
by David Liddle 07 Jan '23

07 Jan '23

Greetings, all! We would like to activate the GDPR and Pseudonymization settings in our instance. However, the instance does not pass the check indicated by the caution: "Pseudonymization must only be turned on if the 'bcrypt_settings' configuration entry exists and is correctly filled in the Koha configuration file." At present, there is no further guidance provided. I see the following lines in the file /etc/koha/koha-conf-site.xml.in:  <bcrypt_settings>__BCRYPT_SETTINGS__</bcrypt_settings> What form should the content of this line and these settings take? What is the standard or 'best practice'? Are there limits? Should they be entered in this file, or should they be entered in the individual site's koha.conf file? Similarly, I would like to know what form the encryption key should take in this section:  <encryption_key>__ENCRYPTION_KEY__</encryption_key> Are there any risks or drawbacks to enabling these settings on a live site? (I'm executing them first on a QA server with a robust backup system, but it helps to know what to expect.) Thank you for considering my questions and offering your guidance! Regards, David Liddle
