Requesting opinions on proposed change to AuthDisplayHierarchy
by Owen Leonard 13 Aug '18

13 Aug '18

Thanks to everyone who weighed in on my question about the cataloging interface. I have another one: If the AuthDisplayHierarchy system preference is turned on, hierarchies of authority records are displayed via a JavaScript plugin which makes a collapsible tree of authority links. I propose that this be replaced with a static, CSS-styled tree. Doing so would cut one JavaScript plugin dependency. >From the bug report (https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21128) here's a screenshot of the updated OPAC view: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=77307 And in the staff client: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=77308 At my library we don't use this feature, so I don't really know how it is used in production. Are authority hierarchies often so "deep" that having a collapsible display is preferred? If so, could clicking to show or hide the entire tree be a viable alternative? Thanks, Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org

'timeout' changed
by Katharina Penner 13 Aug '18

13 Aug '18

I guess I've made a stupid mistake and now cannot correct it. While fixing settings in the Global systems preferences under Administration I've changed in the 'timeout' line the '1d' to '1h', hoping that this will reduce the timeout from one day to one hour. However, it seems to have reduced it to one second! And I can do nothing in the system because of such short time. While now trying to change it back - as soon as I try to save the change it says, Error, change possibly not saved. I guess I'm simply not quick enough to do it all in one second! Please help me to fix it back to 1d. Katharina Penner

How many libraries use Koha?
by Chris Brown 10 Aug '18

10 Aug '18

Hello, I have agreed to give a webinar on Koha to a group of community-managed libraries here in the UK. It would be interesting to include some basic facts and figures: * How long has Koha been in existence? * How many libraries around the world are using it? * How many active developers are there? Does anyone have estimates for any of these? Thanks! Chris Brown

Re: [Koha] Reservoir records deletion
by Mark Alexander 10 Aug '18

10 Aug '18

Excerpts from Hira Akram's message of 2018-08-09 17:30:07 +0500: > I want to delete all biblio records from my koha but they are still appearing in reservoir. How to remove them? I have deleted them from catalogue and they are not imported so I cant clean the batch. This is how I did it: koha-shell LIB # LIB is your Koha instance name /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/cleanup_database.pl --import 60 -v Here is what the --help option says about this: --import DAYS purge records from import tables older than DAYS days. Defaults to 60 days if no days specified. Also see: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Biblios-in-reservoir-td5965405.html

Re: [Koha] Koha Backup
by Katrin Fischer 09 Aug '18

09 Aug '18

Hi Hira, if you are using Koha's tools for backup, it will dump all the data in your database, including the configuration. But it's always good to take a look at the files created by backup and test them. Hope that helps, Katrin On 09.08.2018 09:23, Hira Akram wrote: > Hi All, > Can anyone please tell me asap Does Koha backup includes configurations also or data only? > For example if I have configured Z servers for copy cataloging after backup, ill it remain there after deployment of that backup or not?? > > Kind regards, > Hira Akram > > _______________________________________________ > Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org > Koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz > https://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
