Time to translate: string freeze for 19.05.x has begun
by Victor Grousset/tuxayo 17 Aug '20

17 Aug '20

Hi, saluton, hola, bonjour, String freeze will be into effect tomorrow 18 August 2020 for the 19.05.x maintenance branch. (as well as for the other branches) The 19.05.14 release is scheduled for Monday 25 August 2020. Which means it's the right time to head over to the translation platform: https://translate.koha-community.org/projects/ Important reminder: if you add or change a translation in version 19.05, then you must also copy it to 19.11 and 20.05. Otherwise your work will be lost when upgrading to these next versions or the future ones. Happy translating, -- Victor Grousset/tuxayo

Hello, We have Koha 19.11.08.000 on ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS, zebra version Zebra 2.0.59 We want to upgrade to zebra 2.1.14 to see if we can fix our sort error. Also, we had installed ElasticSearch Nodos: localhost:9200 | Estado: en ejecución | Índices: koha_bijrdlibrary_biblios (conteo: -1), koha_bijrdlibrary_authorities (conteo: -1) What -1 means? It is possible to upgrade Zebra to fix it? Thanks. -- *Luis Moisés Rojas P.*

Intranet pending notification
by Alvaro Cornejo 17 Aug '20

17 Aug '20

Hi Is there a way to move/duplicate the pending notification area to, for example the intranet breadcrumbs areas? or have a pop-up notification? Librarians can´t see it if they are anywhere away from the main intranet or they do not refresh it. Also in some low resolution screens, Librarian need to scroll down the main screen to check if there is something pending. Checking the code I saw that is it defined like: <div id="area-pending"> <div class="pending-info" id="article_requests_pending"> <a href="/cgi-bin/koha/circ/article-requests.pl">Article requests</a>: <span class="pending-number-link">1</span> </div> </div> Might it be possible using js? Any clue?

Googlebot

Good Morning, In the version of Koha 20.05.02 with Ubuntu 20.04. I was seeing a slow process. I verified with the TOP command an excess of CPU usage that was causing Koha to slow down. I carried out the following instruction and the slowness was resolved. cd /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs sudo nano robots.txt Crawl-delay: 60 User-agent: * Disallow: / User-agent: Googlebot Disallow: /cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl Disallow: /cgi-bin/koha/opac-showmarc.pl Disallow: /cgi-bin/koha/opac-detailprint.pl Disallow: /cgi-bin/koha/opac-ISBDdetail.pl Disallow: /cgi-bin/koha/opac-MARCdetail.pl Disallow: /cgi-bin/koha/opac-reserve.pl Disallow: /cgi-bin/koha/opac-export.pl Disallow: /cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl Disallow: /cgi-bin/koha/opac-authoritiesdetail.pl The question is, does this instruction completely limit the indexing of the google robot or partially limit it? Thank you, Victor

Looking for a way to get budget_code on notice ACQORDER
by Boettcher, Uwe 17 Aug '20

17 Aug '20

Dear all, I am looking for a way to get the budget code (aqbudgets.budget_code) printed on the notice ACQORDER when sending out a book order. Koha (we're using 19.11 on Debian) only provides aqorders.budget_id as a template, so we currently have to bypass this by manually providing the budget code (which is a necessary part of our ordering workflow with our booksellers) through aqorders.order_vendornote. Looking very much forward to hearing from someone who has a better idea, and many thanks in advance Uwe __________________________________________________________________ (Mr.) Uwe Boettcher Director Library WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management Campus Vallendar, Burgplatz 2, 56179 Vallendar, Germany Tel.: +49 261 6509-550 ; Fax: +49 261 6509-559 uwe.boettcher(a)whu.edu ; www.whu.edu ___________________________________________________________________

Can't delete Partron after upgrade to 20.05
by auldstampguy＠gmail.com 16 Aug '20

16 Aug '20

Hi Everyone, I recently upgraded my Ubuntu server to version 18.04 and at the same time upgraded Koha to 20.05. After the upgrades I can't delete Patrons. I have a number of test Patrons that I need to get rid of. I'm getting the following message when I try to delete a Patron (after confirming Yes that I do want to delete the Patron): "Configuration not defined at /usr/share/perl5/Log/Log4perl/Config.pm line 579. at /usr/share/koha/lib/Koha/Patron.pm line 395" I'm sure it is because I don't have Log4perl setup correctly but I don't know how to do that. This is what I get from the About screen: "You are missing the <log4perl_conf> entry in your koha-conf.xml file. Please add it, pointing to the log4perl.conf file for your Koha instance" Any help you can give me would be much appreciated. Regards, Tim Auld Webmaster Northern Philatelic Library

Cross Reference function
by Tadesse, Bruck 14 Aug '20

14 Aug '20

Dear Friends, I am looking at Cross Reference function for search. I am aware this function is available and searchable in the Authority files. However, my question is can we search for these 'See also' in the basic and advance search fields? If yes, how do we activate this? At the moment, my 'See also' only works in Authority. If no, are there plugin or other existing process/function to handle this? Thank you for your advice. Bruck Tadesse.

Circulation bug which affects CART functionality
by Stephen Graham 14 Aug '20

14 Aug '20

Hi All - like a lot of libraries we've been testing the Cart functionality to place returned items into quarantine for X hours. We are running 19.11.04. We have the "UpdateItemLocationOnCheckin" syspref set to: _ALL_: CART When we return items they do go into the Cart, but the location isn't stored in the "permanent_location" field. This means that when the item comes out of the Cart, the location field is set to null because the previous location wasn't stored. I know the Uni of Arts London (18.11) are experiencing this issue. Are others? Looking at the code that deals with this in the Circulation.pm module I cannot see the permanent_location being set, but it's the first time I have looked at this so I may be overlooking something. I have done some quick testing and if I changed this: if ( $item->location ne $update_loc_rules->{_ALL_}) { $messages->{'ItemLocationUpdated'} = { from => $item->location, to => $update_loc_rules->{_ALL_} }; ModItem( { location => $update_loc_rules->{_ALL_}}, undef, $itemnumber ); } To: if ( $item->location ne $update_loc_rules->{_ALL_}) { $messages->{'ItemLocationUpdated'} = { from => $item->location, to => $update_loc_rules->{_ALL_} }; ModItem( { location => $update_loc_rules->{_ALL_}, permanent_location => $item->location }, undef, $itemnumber ); } , then it appears to solve it, but would need proper testing!!!
