by Pavlo Bobesiuk 26 Sep '20

Hi everyone. Someone tried to add code of embed book to marc record and display it in the opac html5 media player? I have an idea to convert the first pages of books into flipbooks ( www.anyflip.com) and put code in marc record to be able to read them in opac media player. For example I would like to add this code: <iframe style="width:550px;height:350px" src=" http://online.anyflip.com/mepon/fath/" seamless="seamless" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="true" ></iframe> to marc record of some book in 856u field, but in opac i see only code, I don't see frame with flip book. help me please realize this idea Paolo -- З повагою Павло Бобесюк=))

DBMS auto increment issue
by Daniel Owens 26 Sep '20

26 Sep '20

I am running Koha 20.05.02.000. I have corrupted data due to the DBMS auto increment issue. How can I deal with corrupted data? I tried following the advice to remove the affected lines from deleted* tables, but in the two items I checked, I could not find those ids. To find the ids listed in the About Koha - System Information message, I searched in the affected tables (deletedbiblios and deleteditems) using phpmyadmin. So I am confused about how to deal with the corrupted data. Can anyone suggest a way forward for me? Daniel

rebuild_zebra daemon locks memcached?
by Alvaro Cornejo 24 Sep '20

24 Sep '20

Hi Since our update to 19.11.09 we start having problems with kona. We initially thought it was apache since without any notice, koha stop responding. When doing ps-ef |grep apache we got hundreds of entries even though we have very low load. Max 3 users at a time. Restarting apache solved the issue for a while On the server we only have koha and mod_pagespeed. Boith using the same instance of memcached. We disabled mod_pagespped and for a while, it looked like it was the problem, but after a couple of days, the issue returned. using netstat we found that there were lots of CLOSE_WAIT connections to port 11211. So we decided to configure two instances of memcached in two different ports. One for koha and one for mod_pagespeed. The issue of CLOSE_WAIT connections is less often now. However they are almost always related to perl . # sudo netstat -tulpan |grep 11211 gives us tcp 1 0 127.0.0.1:54368 127.0.0.1:11211 CLOSE_WAIT 1411/perl And checking the perl process: #ps -ef |grep 1411 bibliot+ 1411 1407 0 Sep18 ? 00:01:44 /usr/bin/perl /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -daemon -sleep 5 Also, we noticed that, at anytime, memcached port has at least 10-15 connections split between memcached process and starman workers Is that normal? mod_pagespeed didn´t have any problem since it is configured to use an independant memcached instance Koha 19.11.09 Ubuntu bionic memcached 1.5.6 Regards Alvaro |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Stay safe / Cuídate/ Reste sécurisé *7* Switch off as you go / Apaga lo que no usas / Débranchez au fur et à mesure. *q *Recycle always / Recicla siempre / Recyclez toujours P Print only if absolutely necessary / Imprime solo si es necesario / Imprimez seulement si nécessaire

ElasticSearch Shuts Down on Server Reboot [Was: Installing ElasticSearch]

I was prepared to upload the files into the previous day's installation if I had to. However, by rebooting ElasticSearch manually, we could search again. Must I reboot ElasticSearch everytime we reboot the server? How does one get ElasticSearch to come up when the server is rebooted besides through manual intervention? Surely, there must be an automatic way. Many thanks for everyone's help in this. -- 気を付けて。 /ki wo tukete/ = Take care. -- Charles.

Temporary workarounds for bug 23091 to charge overdue fines on formerly lost items
by Joelle Hannert 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

I recently discovered that our library is being impacted by bug 23091 - Add options to charge new or restore forgiven overdues when a lost item is returned. <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23091> I'm curious to hear if others have a good workaround process for re-charging overdues manually when items are returned, or are you just forgiving the fines until there is a fix? I'm worried about how to clearly communicate to circ staff how to properly re-calculate overdue fines once assumed lost items are returned...especially with our library having reduced open days (so less days when a fine should have accrued) during COVID. -- Joelle Hannert Library Technical Services Coordinator Northwestern Michigan College (231) 995-1684 Work days: M, T, Th, F
