Re: [Koha] VIAF, Wikidata, and ISNI
by Stefano Bargioni 27 May '25

27 May '25

Hi, Kazım, for a discussion of reuse especially based on Wikidata, please see https://jlis.fupress.net/index.php/jlis/article/view/61 A Javascript only AuthorityBox is implemented in the URBS or PIAC Koha ILSes. Examples: http://koha-urbs.reteurbs.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=2371… https://catalogo.piac.it/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=17784 Note that to implement the AuthorityBox in your OPAC, you need a Wikidata property for your authority records (agent names). URBS property is is https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P8750, PIAC is https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P8982. Your practice to add the author's VIAF, Wikidata, and ISNI URIs to the authority records will help a lot to populate your property. With a Wikidata property, your Koha will be part of the LOD cloud.

Overdue notices and email
by Paul Dokken 22 May '25

22 May '25

How can I change the display name for the email that I use to send email via a gmail smtp server in Koha? How can I send out a PREDUE notification? I see there is an advanced_notices.pl and an overdue_notices.pl. I see where to configure the overdue notices in the staff site but not advanced. Also I have the following code that does not seem to work to display the items. I have set up a patron with multiple overdue items setup for testing. The notice is called ODUE1 and I have a delay=1 Dear [% borrower.firstname %] [% borrower.surname %], This is a friendly reminder that you have items that are overdue. You can go to https://library.jaars.org to see the list and renew them if you like [% IF items.size %] [% FOREACH item IN items %] - Title: [% item.title %] - Due: [% item.date_due %] [% END %] [% ELSE %] (No items were found.)

Hello everyone, The koha-US Consortia Special Interest Group is normally scheduled to meet on the 4th Thursday of each month Since many of our members will be attending the American Library Association's conference that week, we agreed at our May meeting that we would not meet in June. Instead, look forward to meeting on July 24, 2025. A reminder for that meeting with additional details will be sent about a week before that meeting.

Re: [Koha] circulation overdues report
by David Cook 22 May '25

22 May '25

As Owen said, you can't disable the output of email and phone number from Patron in the report, but it's a really good question. I know I have a preference for hiding personal information in reports as well. I think it's worth raising a report on https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3 for that enhancement to hide the personal information .

The report isn't configurable, and the markup isn't detailed enough to let you hide elements using CSS. Perhaps you could build your own report? https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Circulation#Naughty_Overdu… -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries https://www.myacpl.org
