Monthly Community Meeting
by Renvoize, Martin 02 Sep '21

02 Sep '21

Hi all, We had our monthly general meeting today, as usual, hosted on IRC. Attendance has been very low for a while now and we mooted the idea of dropping it from our schedule and instead just having perhaps two meetings a year, one for Kohacon votes and a second for a broader annual general meeting should anyone want to raise any points in that formal setting. The next meeting is scheduled for 13th October 2021 at 1400 UTC where we will vote on the new reduced format. We're open to new idea's at any time and I'd be happy to try a video meeting or something if people would prefer. But at this point, we're not discussing much and I don't know if we're missing peoples views or people just don't have many or they have other ways of communicating with the community at large. Hope everyone is well, *Martin Renvoize, MPhys (Hons)* <https://www.ptfs-europe.com> Head of Development and Community Engagement *Phone:* +44 (0) 1483 378728 *Mobile:* +44 (0) 7725 985 636 *Email:* martin.renvoize(a)ptfs-europe.com www.ptfs-europe.com *Sign up for our newsletters here <http://eepurl.com/dPjjkn> or by scanning the QR code* Registered in the United Kingdom No. 06416372 VAT Reg No. 925 7211 30 The information contained in this email message may be privileged, confidential and protected from disclosure.

Display issue: IntranetNav in 21.05.02.003
by Elaine Bradtke 01 Sep '21

01 Sep '21

Our test site is on 21.05.02.003 . Our production site is 21.05.00 The problem is in 21.05.02.003 We have some extra links in the IntranetNav There seems to be a limit to how much you can put to the left of the More menu. Once exceeded, the More menu ends up on the next line, but in an odd place. In this case on the very far left of the page: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AWF36xmnYSkvsxT-n7a9a4N6W2kGPFNn/view?usp=… When the More menu is clicked, it actually falls off the edge of the page - there's no way to bring it into view. https://drive.google.com/file/d/19fb6nR21jWKJG1-4WObawP4vBrCGoOX-/view?usp=… By cutting down on the number of characters that display, I managed to bring it into view, More is still on the next line, despite the fact that there is plenty of room for it above. Weirdly (and I struggle with left and right, so I never thought about it before), the production site running the older version puts our added links to the RIGHT of the More menu, but on the same line. I'm not sure if it's related to bug 23840 <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23840> or if it's a new problem.

by vinod mishra 30 Aug '21

Hello May I know how to pay fines in offline mode and upload later like issue/return? I have tried but it seems it's not working, the file created contains all the fields except barcodes during payment of fines. Barcode is also mandatory if yes then how to add barcode against the fines.

Hello, Does anyone know if it's possible to write a report that would give me all of the items that have had their status change from Long Lost Overdue to Available within a specified time period? I want to be able to see when long lost overdue books have been turned in so that we can ensure that the fee has been removed. Any help would be appreciated.

Character sets in MariaDB 10.5
by Michael Kuhn 26 Aug '21

26 Aug '21

Hi 1. In the last few years when installing Koha on Debian GNU/Linux 9 or 10 the character sets in MariaDB were as follows: MariaDB [(none)]> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%char%'; +--------------------------+----------------------------+ | Variable_name | Value | +--------------------------+----------------------------+ | character_set_client | utf8mb4 | | character_set_connection | utf8mb4 | | character_set_database | utf8mb4 | | character_set_filesystem | binary | | character_set_results | utf8mb4 | | character_set_server | utf8mb4 | | character_set_system | utf8 | | character_sets_dir | /usr/share/mysql/charsets/ | +--------------------------+----------------------------+ Today I installed Koha 21.05.03 on Debian GNU/Linux 11 with MariaDB 10.5.11 where the character sets are as follows: MariaDB [(none)]> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%char%'; +--------------------------+----------------------------+ | Variable_name | Value | +--------------------------+----------------------------+ | character_set_client | utf8 | | character_set_connection | utf8 | | character_set_database | utf8mb4 | | character_set_filesystem | binary | | character_set_results | utf8 | | character_set_server | utf8mb4 | | character_set_system | utf8 | | character_sets_dir | /usr/share/mysql/charsets/ | +--------------------------+----------------------------+ I'm not sure what is going on here. Does anyone know why the character sets for client, connection and results have changed from utf8mb4 to utf8? Is this correct with Koha or should these character sets be changed? 2. Today I came upon an installation of Koha 18.11.05 using MariaDB 10.0.32 which has the following character sets: MariaDB [(none)]> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%char%'; +--------------------------+----------------------------+ | Variable_name | Value | +--------------------------+----------------------------+ | character_set_client | utf8 | | character_set_connection | utf8 | | character_set_database | latin1 | | character_set_filesystem | binary | | character_set_results | utf8 | | character_set_server | latin1 | | character_set_system | utf8 | | character_sets_dir | /usr/share/mysql/charsets/ | +--------------------------+----------------------------+ This seems quite wrong to me - as far as I know "latin1" was never a supported character set in Koha... as far as I know the character sets should be set as shown in topic 1. However, is it still possible to update such a database with these character sets to Koha 21.05.03 without destroying the data completely?
