by vinod mishra 13 Sep '20

13 Sep '20

Hello Seen there is a report Problem option in latest Koha which emphasizes problems only can it be made like feedback? or is there any option so that users can send messages to the library via Koha as the library desk can send messages which populates on the user account on login. Your suggestions please. With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.

JS Add links out to Wikipedia for authors broken in 19.11 with bug 25237
by Alvaro Cornejo 12 Sep '20

12 Sep '20

Hi After Bug 25237, the JS https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/JQuery_Library#Add_links_out_to_Wikipe… stopped working. the bug changed the <h5 ...> for <span ...> - <h5 class="author"> + <span class="results_summary author h3"> - [% IF ( author ) %]<h5 class="author">by <a href="/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=au:[% author |url %]">[% author | html %]</a></h5>[% END %] + [% IF ( author ) %]<span class="results_summary author h3">by <a class="contributors" href="/cgi-bin/koha/ opac-search.pl?q=au:[% author |url %]">[% author | html %]</a></span>[% END %] among others similar changes. This breaks the JS "hook" var names = $('h5.author a').not('.authlink'); How can I hook it to the <span> ? I tried several combinations like var names = $('h3.author a').not('.authlink'); var names = $('result_summary.author a').not('.authlink'); var names = $('getElementsByClassName(' result_summary author h3')[1]').not('.authlink'); But have not succeeded. I´m pretty sure is something trivial but didn't see it 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

CKJ and Other Non-Roman Searching
by Charles Kelley 11 Sep '20

11 Sep '20

Hi, all! My library has an extensive catalog in CJK, Russian, and a few other languages that write in non-Roman writing systems. We can import such records into Koha and export the records from Koha. Provided we make sure the applications (BBEdit, EndNote, Excel, Word, to name a few), browsers (Chrome, Firefox, IE, Safari, etc.), OSs (Linux, Mac OS, and Windows) can handle UTF-8, all is well -- for importing and exporting. But getting Koha to search CJK has been fruitless, and we are terribly frustrated. How does one get Koha to search CJK and Arabic, Cyrillic, Hebrew, and other non-Roman writing systems for that matter)? Koha 20.05 running on Debian 9.4 "Stretch". Many thanks. -- 気を付けて。 /ki wo tukete/ = Take care. -- Charles.

Upgrade from Koha 3.08.07
by Nigel Titley 10 Sep '20

10 Sep '20

I'm running an extremely antique version of Koha 3.08.07 on Debian Squeeze. For various reasons (mainly the fact that the system is enormously stable) nothing has been upgraded for a long while but it's getting to the point where I need to upgrade it. I'm planning at the same time to move Koha off onto a new system running the latest Ubuntu LTS. I'm happy with installing a brand-new Koha but how do I go about transferring the data. I've found instructions for shifting the database but will the database schema upgrade work with that huge a jump? It's not a huge library, just a couple of thousand books. Thanks for any help that anyone can offer. Nigel
