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?

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!!!

Problems trying to upgrade from Koha 17.11
by auldstampguy＠gmail.com 13 Aug '20

13 Aug '20

Hi, I am currently running Koha 17.11 on Ubuntu server 16.04 on Mysql 5.7. I'm wanting to upgrade Koha but am having problems with the "sudo apt- get install koha-common" step. I'm getting the following error: koha-common : Depends: libnet-oauth2-authorizationserver-perl but it is not going to be installed On googling I have seen a lot of discussion of this issue but have not been able to find a definite solution. I found a few suggestions but none of them worked. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find a solution for this? Thanks for any help you can give me. Regards, Tim Auld Webmaster Northern Philatelic Library Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Using Cart for quarantine- Impact on laptop loan units.
by Raymund Delahunty 12 Aug '20

12 Aug '20

We are thinking about using the Cart functionality as part of a 72 hour quarantine. The Cart functionality only works with the shelving location. Whether or not an item can be issued etc., is defined in the circ rules and is based on the combination of library, patron category and item type and so we expect that our Lapsafe laptop loan units will simply ignore the idea of the quarantine as Koha will flag up the circulation action as permitted. So a returned laptop could be issued to another reader (assuming the battery has recharged) well before the quarantine period has expired. We have discussed this with our laptop loans unit vendor, and they are preparing a software modification so that items sitting at the "Cart" shelving location will not loan. Koha libraries with laptop loan units and similar kit may need to consider this issue. Ray Delahunty University of the Arts London .
