Overdrive integration in Koha 18.05
by Michael Kuhn 23 Sep '21

23 Sep '21

Hi In our library we are using Koha 18.05.03 on Debian GNU/Linux 8. According to https://bywatersolutions.com/education/overdrive-integration-in-koha Overdrive is integrated within Koha. From Overdrive we have got several bits of information but in Koha 18.05 we have only the following available system preferences: * OverDriveCirculation * OverDriveClientKey * OverDriveClientSecret * OverDriveLibraryID Filling these in indeed shows the new tab "OverDrive account" in the OPAC user account, but then an "Internal Server Error": Could not compile /usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/external/overdrive/auth.pl: Can't locate WebService/ILS/OverDrive/Patron.pm in @INC (you may need to install the WebService::ILS::OverDrive::Patron module) (@INC contains: /usr/share/koha/lib /usr/share/koha/installer /usr/share/koha/lib/installer /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.20.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.20.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.20 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.20 /usr/share/perl/5.20 /usr/local/lib/site_perl . /var/lib/koha/sbtreu/plugins) at /usr/share/koha/lib/Koha/ExternalContent/OverDrive.pm line 24.

Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/external/overdrive/auth.pl line 27. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/external/overdrive/auth.pl line 27. Does anyone know the solution to this? I see in later versions of Koha there are more preferences: * OverDriveAuthName * OverDriveUsername * OverDrivePasswordRequired * OverDriveWebsiteID We have the necessary bits of information from Overdrive but we can't fill them in in Koha 18.05. Does this mean the Overdrive integration in Koha 18.05 is not functional and we will have to update to a newer Koha version?

Koha 21.05 Internal server error on https
by Jacopo 23 Sep '21

23 Sep '21

Hi, I recently tried to install Koha 21.05 on a Debian 10.10 server and then to move 2 libraries from another Koha instance (20.05), which was unsuccessful but will be the subject of another email. Currently I am experiencing a different issue: recurrent internal server errors both on for the opac and the intranet when connecting though https (http is working). The error I get, from /var/log/koha/library/opac-error.log: ``` [Thu Sep 23 14:36:17.087937 2021] [cgi:error] [pid 21969] [client xxx] AH01215: Use of uninitialized value $compiled in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.28/Template/Provider.pm line 572.: /usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/opac-main.pl [Thu Sep 23 14:36:17.088568 2021] [cgi:error] [pid 21969] [client xxx] AH01215: compiled template : Can't locate /tmp//usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/modules/opac-main.tt.ttc: /tmp//usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/modules/opac-main.tt.ttc: Permission denied at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.28/Template/Provider.pm line 571.: /usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/opac-main.pl [Thu Sep 23 14:36:17.088598 2021] [cgi:error] [pid 21969] [client xxx] AH01215: : /usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/opac-main.pl [Thu Sep 23 14:36:17.118243 2021] [cgi:error] [pid 21969] [client xxx] AH01215: Template process failed: file error - cache failed to write opac-main.tt.ttc: Error in tempfile() using template /tmp/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/modules/XXXXXXXXXX: Could not create temp file /tmp/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/modules/Ti3EjV0TMw: Permission denied at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.28/Template/Document.pm line 301.: /usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/opac-main.pl [Thu Sep 23 14:36:17.156177 2021] [cgi:error] [pid 21969] [client xxx] End of script output before headers: opac-main.pl [Thu Sep 23 14:36:18.597239 2021] [cgi:error] [pid 21969] [client xxx] AH01215: Use of uninitialized value $compiled in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.28/Template/Provider.pm line 572.: /usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/errors/500.pl [Thu Sep 23 14:36:18.597997 2021] [cgi:error] [pid 21969] [client xxx] AH01215: compiled template : Can't locate /tmp//usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/modules/errors/errorpage.tt.ttc: /tmp//usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/modules/errors/errorpage.tt.ttc: Permission denied at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.28/Template/Provider.pm line 571.: /usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/errors/500.pl [Thu Sep 23 14:36:18.598021 2021] [cgi:error] [pid 21969] [client xxx] AH01215: : /usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/errors/500.pl [Thu Sep 23 14:36:18.613489 2021] [cgi:error] [pid 21969] [client xxx] AH01215: Template process failed: file error - cache failed to write errorpage.tt.ttc: Error in tempfile() using template /tmp/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/modules/errors/XXXXXXXXXX: Could not create temp file /tmp/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/modules/errors/mVp8iM_cko: Permission denied at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.28/Template/Document.pm line 301.: /usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/errors/500.pl [Thu Sep 23 14:36:18.646433 2021] [cgi:error] [pid 21969] [client xxx] End of script output before headers: 500.pl ``` The ownership of /usr/share/koha/{intranet,opac} is set to the user www-data.

Hello, community, does anyone have experience with using MARC fields in notices? Specifically, we would need to output the contents of some fields/sufields to text in e-mail notice using the template toolkit. For example, $t and $g in field 787. Is this possible? Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks Michal

How to Update and Upgrade Koha
by Charles Kelley 22 Sep '21

22 Sep '21

Hi, all! I think I have asked about this before, but I don't recall getting a definitive answer. But it's awhile, so here goes. I have seen announcements about updates and upgrades to Koha. ("Come and get it!") Alas, I don't find instructions for installing updates and upgrades. There are initial installation instructions aplenty, but alas, if there are ones for updates and upgrades, I don't see them. So I ask: How does one update or upgrades Koha? Thanks for your help, everyone. -- 気を付けて。 /ki wo tukete/ = Take care. -- Charles.

Upgrading from 17.05.00.00 to "current"
by Steve Nickerson 21 Sep '21

21 Sep '21

Does anyone have any tips on how to successfully go from Koha 17.05 to anything more current on Debian 8 (Jessie) package install? I've tried the process I've used in the past and the other OS packages upgrade but Koha keeps getting "held back" no matter what I've tried (various 'koha.list' sources, apt-get full-upgrade, apt-get dist-upgrade, etc.). What is the latest version that will run on Debian 8 and what should I put in my koha.list source file? Thanks! Steve

Conference registration, who to contact for help?
by Bales (US), Tasha R 20 Sep '21

20 Sep '21

Good morning, I registered for the virtual conference and received a confirmation from the Google from. However, I never received a payment link, or materials indicating how to attend the conference. On my end, the Koha US site appears to be down at the moment. Although this isn't a technical question, I'm writing in hopes someone might know of the proper avenue to get help with conference registration follow-up. Thank you!

JSON report only contains partial results
by Bales (US), Tasha R 18 Sep '21

18 Sep '21

Any idea why my public report would return almost 2000 results, but the JSON URL for that report (accessed right after I ran the report), would only display a list of 9 results? I've tried reindexing to no avail. I've also tried duplicating and rerunning the report, as well as changing the report category back to "Cataloging" instead of the custom category I'd added. In my initial experimentation with reports and their JSON URL's, everything worked perfectly. Now, besides the above, I'm noticing odd behavior with the "&annotated=1" parameter, in that if I access the annotated report, then subsequently strip off that parameter and navigate again to the report, the output is still annotated. I attributed this to caching, but I get this behavior even if I try to access the not annotated URL in a different browser. That doesn't seem possible; I presume there is something about JSON I just don't understand. Tasha Bales Enterprise Services http://isesi.web.boeing.com/

Re: [Koha] Open Ended Due Dates, Permanent Loans, Etc.

Hello, Caroline! In our latest exchange, on 17 Sept. 2021 at 09:01 [JST], I received the following from you through the Koha Digest, to wit: Maybe you could do something like that with automatic renewals? > > In circulation rules, you could have a "regular" loan period, but many > renewals, e.g. 99. > > Set up automatic renewals. Koha will renew automatically, as long as the > item is not on hold, the patron's membership is not expired, etc. > What an excellent idea!
