Re: [Koha] [Koha-devel] Should password be mandatory to send
by BOUIS Sonia 16 Apr '19

16 Apr '19

Hi Katrin, Thank you for this review of Bugzilla tickets. I can see that I'm not the only one to think that there's a lack of a notification to welcome our new users. I thought that it will be simpler to use ACCTDETAILS but it seems that it's more complicated than I expected. Perhaps a new notification could be a nice idea. Sonia Message: 2 Date: Sun, 14 Apr 2019 21:01:35 +0200 From: Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer.83(a)web.de> To: koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz, Koha Devel <koha-devel(a)lists.koha-community.org> Subject: Re: [Koha-devel] [Koha] Should password be mandatory to send ACCTDETAILS notice Message-ID: <f781ac8a-3e4f-6582-49e6-52bc04d79723(a)web.de> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; Format="flowed" Hi Sonia, I think the ACCTDETAILS notice is a bit difficult. Last I checked I think it required you to enter email, userid and password before saving the patron the first time in order to work right. As it avoids the message queue there is no way to tell if the notice was sent correctly and there is no way to send it again. There are some bugs filed in this context: *Bug?9097* <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9097> - 'Welcome mail' for new library users *Bug?15834* <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15834> - Options to supress e-mail generated by AutoEmailOpacUser *Bug?18543* <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18543> - Automated emails for new patron accounts with the AutoEmailOpacUser preference I don't see a reason why password should be mandatory, other than it might lead to messages being sent out incomplete for libraries using it for this feature. I think it might be a bit nicer to realize the idea of a separate 'welcome mail', that goes through the message queue and have an option to send it again if needed.

Do you mean to hide the link Authority search </cgi-bin/koha/opac-authorities-home.pl> in the opac home or whatever? Or to hide the links cgi-bin/koha/opac-authoritiesdetail.pl?authid=NNNN in the opac-detail.pl of bib records? In both cases, you can use jQuery. sb > On 16 Apr 2019, at 02:00, koha-request(a)lists.katipo.co.nz wrote: > > Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2019 05:15:20 -0700 (MST) > From: kamil <smichaelxx(a)tlen.pl> > To: koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz > Subject: [Koha] Hide authority record in OPAC > Message-ID: <1555330520492-0.post(a)n5.nabble.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > > Helo, > it's possible to hide authority record in Authority search OPAC? > I know there is an option that hides unrelated records > (OPACShowUnusedAuthorities), but I mean to hide related ones. > Thanks a lot > Regards

Very, very multlingual resource library - any suggestions?
by intelegant 15 Apr '19

15 Apr '19

Hi, firstly, excuse me I really am new (and a newbie). I have successfully installed Debian and Koha, and now, I'm looking for any advice and ideas. This cataloging system is for a small departmental library, around 10,000 physical items, with a need for extensibility, resilience, and stability. So all good. However, this is the bilingual department of a city in the Nordic - we have some 32 languages represented. So the interface must be in a Nordic language, but search should allow UTF-8 characters from every major language including Chinese, Arabic, Amharic, Thai, Vietnamese, Russian, etc; etc; While this makes it a really interesting problem, it would be good to avoid rookie mistakes. Any helpful advice would be appreciated particularly if you have experience of bilingual, trilingual, or multilingual set-ups. Thanks :-) -- Sent from: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-general-f3047918.html

Purging patrons while keeping those with items on loan
by Elaine Bradtke 15 Apr '19

15 Apr '19

The reason I'm doing this is our membership numbering system has changed, and our card numbers are the membership numbers (the membership card is the library card). I've come up with a workaround: 1. Put all patrons with outstanding loans in a list (I have a report that lists them) 2. Create a new patron category for these patrons (and change the individual card numbers to the new card numbers) 3. Go through and purge the patrons by category, leaving the staff, patrons with outstanding loans, institutions, (any non-member patrons) 4. Upload new patrons, matching by card number, overwriting the old ones (this, at least in the past meant that addresses, and expiry dates were updated, but loans remained as they were). But wouldn't it be nice if there was an option in the Patron Batch Delete function that said something like "Do not delete patrons with items checked out". Any librarian will tell you that just because a patron's card has expired doesn't mean they've returned everything they've borrowed. This only works because we have a very small number of borrowers!

Helo, it's possible to hide authority record in Authority search OPAC? I know there is an option that hides unrelated records (OPACShowUnusedAuthorities), but I mean to hide related ones. Thanks a lot Regards -- Sent from: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-general-f3047918.html

Upgrade Koha from 18.05.x to 18.11.x
by koha_learner 15 Apr '19

15 Apr '19

Hello, How to upgrade Koha 18.05.x to Koha 18.11.x on Debian 9? I have tried but the changes happened from 18.05.05.000 to 18.05.11.000 only. The commands were - apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get install koha-common koha-rebuild-zebra -v -f <myinstance> I have not provided any command to upgrade the schema, though tables of the database changed from 198 to 205 in the current version. Cooperation in this regard will be highly appreciated. Thank you. Zahid Hossain Shoeb -- Sent from: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-general-f3047918.html

Inventory changed?
by Beda Szukics 14 Apr '19

14 Apr '19

Hi all Has the inventory changed radically? It works very differently as it used to. I have my call numbers in the form of: "1/ 1, 1" (the first digit beeing the group, the second the shelf, the third a serial number). When I used "4/43, 1" and "4/43,99" as limits of the search I got a list like: 4/43, 1 4/43, 2 and so on. Now I get 4/ 4,30 4/ 4,31 until: 4/ 4,39 and then: 4/43, 1 4/43, 2 and so on. The second difference: Until recently the inventory showed all the items on the shelf. Now only the items having a valid item type (field 943 c) are shown (I have many records without item type, because I made a mistake when I imported the records from my old system). Is there a way to have the "old" behaviour back? Beda
