Candidate for 18.05 Maintainer
by Nick Clemens 13 Nov '18

13 Nov '18

Hello all! Last week during the Koha developers meeting we voted on roles for the 19.05 release. I will be continuing as the Release Manager, and we have many hands helping along the way ( https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Roles_for_19.05) There is one role left unfilled: 18.05 Release Maintainer (old stable) The release maintainers are responsible for watching the bugs queue from the upcoming release and backporting bugs that affect the version they watch, helping to make sure version in use are kept as stable as possible. It is a good way to learn more about different areas of Koha, to practice your rebasing skills, and to get more involved in the community. There will be many people in the community around to help you out, and we are always looking for new faces to take on these roles. If you are interested please add your name to the wiki page above and we will be voting tomorrow to accept candidates if we have one in place. If you have any questions you can ask the list or message me here or in IRC. Thanks! -Nick -- Nick Clemens Sonic Screwdriver (Development Support) ByWater Solutions IRC: kidclamp

Making Koha temporarily unavailable?
by Chris Brown 12 Nov '18

12 Nov '18

Gentle Reader, Is there a way to make Koha temporarily unavailable so that I can do maintenance and be sure that no-one will be logged in? Is that what the koha-disable and koha-enable commands do? Thanks! Chris Brown

Good morning I wish to ask you If anybody knows if is it possible to 'uncancel' a canceled order? I know we can restore from mysql, but my question is if koha has the chance of doing it. I think it is not possible, but perhaps I am missing somehing. thank you in advance -- *Hugo Agud - Orex Digital * *www.orex.es <http://www.orex.es>* <http://www.orex.es/> [image: www.orex.es/koha] <http://www.orex.es/koha> [image: www.orex.es/vufind] <http://www.orex.es/vufind> Director Avda Josep Tarradelles, 134 (Centro de Negocios Infanta) 08029 - Barcelona - Tel: 933 856 138 hagud(a)orex.es · http://www.orex.es/ No imprima este mensaje a no ser que sea necesario.

Problems with slow search in OPAC solved, remains one question
by Camilo Freire 09 Nov '18

09 Nov '18

Following the suggestions by Jonathan Druart, Mark Tompsett and Barton Chittenden the problem is solved by disabling the zebra_facets option in the koha-conf.xml file. The next question is about what Barton Chittenden says: when some words like articles or prepositons and included in the query string, in one hand the search is slower and on the other hand the amount of "noise"* in the response is great. In fact the most problematics searches where those in which the spanish word "de" (of) appeared. What could be the solution for this problema? Disable the Fuzzy and Stemming search? I read that there is no stopwords list in Koha today. Could I write a function for "cleaning" the query string before the seach is made? Thanks in advance. Saludos Camilo *I dont know if its the suitable english word...

OPAC Search too slow in Koha 18.05.05
by Camilo Freire 08 Nov '18

08 Nov '18

Good afternoon. My name is Camilo Freire, from Montevideo, Uruguay. I have a catalogue with around 280.000 bibliographic records in Koha 18.05.05. When I do some searches whose hit's number is about 14.000 records the time of search climbs from an average of 2 seconds per search to 40 to 80 seconds around. I've a virtual machine with 6GB of RAM, with a virtual Xeon of 2GHz. Koha is making the OPAC search calling the function getRecords which is in the lib/C4/Search.pm file. As I've seen this function first makes a call to the ZOOM::search function and then makes an asynchronous loop for getting the records (don't do that in ZOOM::search?) and facets, calling the _ZOOM_event_function. The Zebra search in ZOOM::search is quite fast, and takes no more than 0.3 seconds to perform the search. It seems that the delay is in the asynchronous facets in the _ZOOM_event_loop function. Is not clear to me what exactly the _ZOOM_event_loop is doing, apart from retrieving the facets, which are not necessary for me. Can I resolve in some way this problem, getting rid of the _ZOOM_event_loop or installing other version? As a first step I've enabled plack, which is a great help in speeding up the application but not in this case. Thank you very much in advance.
