Chris, Thank you for sharing. Very sad news indeed. Our condolences to friends and family. ___________________________ Christopher Brannon 2022 koha-US Vice President Coeur d'Alene Public Library IT Coordinator -----Original Message----- Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2022 20:09:24 +1300 From: Chris Cormack <chris(a)bigballofwax.co.nz> To: koha-user <koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz> Cc: Koha Devel <koha-devel(a)lists.koha-community.org> Subject: [Koha] Some very sad news.

Rosalie was the Head Librarian at Horowhenua Library Trust when Koha was started and without her Koha would not exist. But more than this Rosalie was an amazing person, a librarian who always thought outside the box, a gifted potter, a friend to many and a beloved mother and grandmother. Details around the funeral and memorial note should be available tomorrow. But I am sure you will all join me holding Rosalie's family and friends in your thoughts.

Google Analytics 4 and Koha 22.05, help needed
by Elaine Bradtke 18 Nov '22

18 Nov '22

We haven't been using Google Analytics on Koha, but we thought we would try it to see if it throws up any useful data. They're switching to a new system (Analytics 4). I thought I'd start there, but I haven't had any success in implementing it. Has anyone done this in 22.05 and if so could you help me out? I know nothing about JavaScript. Here's what I've tried so far: I looked at Koha Geek's tip where it suggests we paste the site tag into opaccredits, but this doesn't seem to be System preference anymore http://kohageek.blogspot.com/2019/01/google-analytics-koha.html From Bywater ( https://bywatersolutions.com/education/setting-up-google-analytics-with-koha ) – add the following to opacuserjs – change the track id to your Google ID //Begin Google Analytics script (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){ (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o), m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m) })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js ','ga'); ga('create', 'trackID', 'auto'); ga('send', 'pageview'); //End Google Analytics script This throws up syntax errors about missing semicolons, and 'expected an assignment of function call and instead saw an expression' >From new Google analytics – (our ID is xed out) - this throws up error messages about identifiers, operators and an unrecoverable syntax error.  <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=XXXXXXX "></script> <script> window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || []; function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);} gtag('js', new Date()); gtag('config', 'XXXXXXX'); </script> Thanks for any help you can offer Elaine Bradtke VWML <https://www.vwml.org> English Folk Dance and Song Society <https://www.efdss.org> Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent's Park Road, London NW1 7AY Tel +44 (0) 20 7485 2206 (This number is for the English Folk Dance and Song Society in London, England.

error checking in auth import?
by Carlos Lopez 18 Nov '22

18 Nov '22

Hi folks I've had reports of Koha importing batches of authority records even when some of those records do not have a 1XX tag: Is this something others have seen? I'm hoping to chase this further, gather evidence and file a bug report, but it just sounded so weird I had to share first. With kind regards from the Dalton McCaughey Library Team Carlos Lopez Dalton McCaughey Library | 29 College Crescent, Parkville, VICTORIA 3052 Ph: 03 9340 8888 ext.1 | library(a)dml.vic.edu.au<mailto:library@dml.vic.edu.au> | library.dmlibrary.org.au

Missing default settings in Koha 22.05.06 web installer
by mik＠vtxmail.ch 17 Nov '22

17 Nov '22

Hi Using Debian packages I am installing Koha 22.05.06 on a fresh install of Debian GNU/Linux 11. After creating the new instance I am running the web installer. 1. When asked "Choose your language" I am selecting language "de-DE", then continue. In previous versions the following dialogues then were in german, but now they are all in English. 2. When asked for "Selecting default settings" the sections for "MARC frameworks: MARC 21" lokk OK but the options in section "Other data" are just not there, see the attached screen shots: * http://adminkuhn.ch/download/defaultsettings-1.png * http://adminkuhn.ch/download/defaultsettings-2.png * http://adminkuhn.ch/download/defaultsettings-3.png Is this maybe a bug in Koha 22.05.06 or am I doing something wrong?

Translations not updating and causing problems
by Aleisha Amohia 16 Nov '22

16 Nov '22

Hi Koha Community We've noticed a recurring problem across a bunch of our Koha libraries in the last couple of months. When a new Koha package is installed, for example a minor point upgrade, sometimes our additional translations break in a weird way. Many of our libraries have en-NZ (English New Zealand) and mi-NZ (Māori) installed, as well as the default en (English) obviously. They'll typically have en-NZ selected as the default language for their OPAC and staff interface. We'll notice the translated templates are broken because we'll search for a system preference like OPACUserJS or OPACUserCSS and it can't be found in the system preferences. This breaks other displays or features across Koha because it can't seem to access system preferences in the translated templates. Usually the fix is some annoying process like: 1. Uninstall all languages 2. Restart services 3. Install chosen languages again 4. Restart services 5. Update languages 6. Restart services Then our system preferences will show again. Is there something that we're missing in our deploy process or something we need to do to fix this? Translations should auto-update whenever the package is installed so I'm not sure why this is happening and would really appreciate some advice. -- *Aleisha Amohia (she/her)* Koha Technical Lead *Catalyst IT - Expert Open Source Solutions* *Catalyst.Net Ltd - a Catalyst IT group company* Tel: +64 4 499 2267 | www.catalyst.net.nz <http://www.catalyst.net.nz> Catalyst Logo CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email is intended for the named recipients only.

Re: [Koha] Blank Item Records
by Bruns, Anke 14 Nov '22

14 Nov '22

Hi Mathew, My recommendation would be to check whether this appeas in the staff client and the OPAC alike (from the screenshot I cannot really see which it is, probably the OPAC?). Then whatever it is: Are you using the default Koha XSLT files* that reside in /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/{langcode}/xslt/ for the OPAC, resp. in /usr/share/koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/prog/{langcode}/xslt/ for the staff client? You might also find out until when the record display worked fine, and what was possibly changed after that moment. So, some research to do... Hope this helps. Regards, Anke * See https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/XSLT_Overview and some relevant chapters in the Koha manual. -- Anke Bruns M.A. (LIS) Arbeitsgruppe "Anwendungs- und Informationssysteme" E-Mail: anke.bruns(a)gwdg.de --------------------------------------- Gesellschaft für wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung mbH Göttingen (GWDG) Burckhardtweg 4, 37077 Göttingen, URL: https://gwdg.de Support: Tel.: +49 551 39-30000, URL: https://gwdg.de/support Sekretariat: Tel.: +49 551 39-30001, E-Mail: gwdg(a)gwdg.de Geschäftsführer: Prof. Dr. Ramin Yahyapour Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Prof. Dr. Norbert Lossau Sitz der Gesellschaft: Göttingen Registergericht: Göttingen, Handelsregister-Nr.

Hi, when a patron has an Overdue Fine, after checked in, a message will be displayed stating that "Patron has outstanding fines of xx.xx" (in CheckIn Module). However, we want that message (with Yes or No) be displayed before an item is Checked In. How can we do this? *With Regards,* *Gopalakrishna* *Librarian,B.M.S Institute of Technology,Avalahalli, Doddaballapur Main Road,Yelahanka, Bangalore-64Mob.: 861 853 1385* * 974 189 8674*

Disabling / hiding the cart in OPAC
by Stefano Bargioni 12 Nov '22

12 Nov '22

Hi, I need to disable the cart in a Koha OPAC. Is there a way to do this, e.g. using a system preference? BTW, I wrote 3 Javascript lines that obtain the same result. I'll publish them in the JQuery library, just in case. Thx. sb

Failed to upgrade koha 3.09.00050
by A.K.M. Nurul Alam 11 Nov '22

11 Nov '22

Dear Community,I am trying to upgrade koha 3.09.00050. Since it's very old version, I installed Koha 16.05 and run upgrade command. It shows failed message like mentioned at the bottom of this message. I have manually deleted 'aqinvoices' table and inserted 'booksellerinvoicenumber' under 'aqorders' table. It works fine and upgraded successfully to 16.05 version. But while exporting to marc file, a number of record is found missing. Now, what is the best way to upgrade this ancient version of Koha 3.0.00050? And if my way was correct, how to export all marc data? Thank you.
