Re: [Koha] Elasticsearch setup

Tom, The error is bad, I guess it comes from get_all_biblios_iterator. What are you developer skill? I'd try to know if it comes from wrong/bad data from a record, or something else. It seems that you are back to version 7 ("To be compatible with 7.0..." in the logs)? You can certainly ignore the warnings.

Purchase Suggestions in Koha
by Stephen Graham 20 Mar '20

20 Mar '20

Hi All - we've just switched the purchase suggestion form on for our users, and was just wondering how people handle the suggestions once(if) satisfied? I see you can manually delete them, and I see that there is a script which runs from the cron to delete suggestions x days hold. One thing we are interested in is how many books we actually purchase based on a suggestion. Obviously if you delete the suggestions you can't report on this (There's no deleted_suggestions table). We thought about recording in a spreadsheet, but this doesn't feel right - there should be a way in the LMS to record this. Do other institutions create a custom MARC field to indicate if the item was bought based on a suggestion? Or is it not something of interest really?

[KOHA] SQL CIRCULATION REPORT

Hi Rogan, After following your advice to have same filters for both queries, I now are able to get the results I desire. I also removed the join for biblioitems and indeed it was not necessary. No words can express my sincere appreciation for the time you took to help me out. I can only say a big big thank you. Thank you to everyone who tried in their own ways in finding me a solution.

I don't think it'll hurt anything other than slow the report less than you'll even notice but still ... if not needed I'd cut it out. 2) you're going to want the same filters in the second query as the first to make sure you get the same numbers 3) you are using a SUM on the statistics type but you can only sum numbers you probably want a COUNT there, which you do in the first query but not the second On Sun, Mar 15, 2020 at 12:38 AM muirunyeri <muirunyeri(a)gmail.com> wrote: Hi Rogan, I reintroduced two filters date abd itemtype.

Cataloger Work File Isolation

Dear Koha Team, One of our library's cataloguing staff is seeking clarity if Koha system can be able to cater to provide and protect individual logged cataloguing records and without other cataloguer staff to work on the same record/item. It's a bit confusing if I can run koha librarian activity report to identify his/her activity for different periods of time. Can anyone kindly clarifies how I can help protect cataloguers work files/activity?

Hi All, As many of you are already aware we had to cancel the annual community Hackfest in Marseille this year due to COVID-19. However, we are intending to run an open to all virtual Hackathon as an alternative. Some ideas have been added to the Wiki <https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Virtual_Hackfest_2020>and a Trello <https://trello.com/b/8PHH9gJ2/virtual-hackfest2020bugzilla> board exists to capture peoples intentions and work efforts over the week. To get us started, ByWater have offered to host a couple of live streams: * Wednesday, March 25th Koha Virtual Hackfest - Documentation 9:00am EST / 1:00pm UTC https://www.youtube.com/user/bywatersolutions/live ------------------------------ * Friday, March 27th Koha Virtual Hackfest - Code Spaghetti 11:00am EST / 3:00pm UTC https://www.youtube.com/user/bywatersolutions/live I intend to host at least one myself aimed at getting people started with how to pick bugs to test and use the community sandboxes to sign them off. IRC <https://koha-community.org/get-involved/irc/> will be full of people keen to help and get involved to do pop in.

Elasticsearch setup
by Tom Hanstra 18 Mar '20

18 Mar '20

In the documentation I'm reading about the use of elasticsearch, all information is completely Debian specific, including both the use of kohadevbox and debian software installations of the koha-elasticsearch metapackage. For those of us who don't use Debian (yes, there are some of us), is there any documentation of more complete ElasticSearch setup commands and information of what is inside of the koha-elasticsearch metapackage and other supporting software? I'd rather not have to reverse engineer those pieces from Debian, but the documentation seems to assume installation has one or the other of the above Debian based packages. I'm assuming that Koha can work with Elasticsearch on any Linux distribution, with the right setup. If so, can someone help fill in the gaps between Debian and the other Linuxes. Thanks, Tom -- *Tom Hanstra* *Sr. Systems Administrator* hanstra(a)nd.edu
