How to introduce a new user-permission to Koha?
by Markus Becker 19 Jun '18

19 Jun '18

Dear Koha-Community, i did not find any hint oder documentation, where the permissions for using tools etc. are stored. My example: For testing purpose i want to insert my own perl-script into Koha and it should appear on the "tools"-page. The links on this page are shown to the user or not depending on the permissions he has: (tools-home.tt) [% IF ( CAN_user_tools_manage_staged_marc ) %] <dt><a href="/cgi-bin/koha/tools/bibliotheca_convert.pl">Bibliotheca-Datei hochladen</a></dt> <dd>Werkzeug um BIBLIOTHECAplus-Exportdatei für den Import hochzuladen</dd> [% END %] I can not find the place, where these rights are deposited. How does Koha know if a certain right is existing? I found the file permissions.inc but changes there did not having any effect. Of cource i could use the permission "CAN_user_tools_manage_staged_marc" for my own script (and then the link is shown), but IMHO it would be not correct to "steal" the permission of another script. I would be very grateful if someone could give me a hint how to introduce the permission to start my script to Koha. Thank You very much in Advance, Markus Becker

I'm not the technical half of the team, so pardon me if I'm asking a silly question, or am not phrasing it correctly. The information that underpins frameworks, specifically any local changes, where is that stored? Thanks.

MySQL EOL
by Cab Vinton 18 Jun '18

18 Jun '18

According to https://endoflife.software/applications/databases/mysql, end of life date for MySQL ver 5.5 is December 2018 -- not too far off. Wondering what the roadmap for Koha looks like w/ respect to MySQL. Versions 5.6 & 5.7 have several years still to go, and EOL for 8.0 is presumably way out. Things one wonders on a lazy Father's Day afternoon ... Cab Vinton Plaistow Public Library

Migration from Mandarin to Koha
by Mr Mutsikiwa Admire 15 Jun '18

I want to migrate bibliographic records from a Mandarin to Koha. Currently, I am guided by the resource http://www.bloovis.com/2017/08/09/mandarin-to-koha.html. I am wondering if there are any generic resources that could aid in the migration process. -- Kind Regards, Admire Mutsikiwa (Mr) ICT Manager Libraries University of Zimbabwe Tel:+263-4-303276 Mob:+263782476883 “It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities.” Josiah Charles Stamp

SQL Report not populating
by Barry, Michael M 14 Jun '18

14 Jun '18

Hi everyone, I'm having some issues downloading the results of SQL reports. Running Koha 18.05. I'm using the "overdues by homeroom" code from the Koha Wiki SQL Reports library, as below: SELECT p.surname, p.firstname, c.date_due, g.attribute AS grade, (TO_DAYS(curdate())-TO_DAYS( date_due)) AS 'days overdue', b.title, b.author, i.itemcallnumber, i.barcode FROM borrowers p LEFT JOIN issues c ON (p.borrowernumber=c.borrowernumber) LEFT JOIN items i ON (c.itemnumber=i.itemnumber) LEFT JOIN biblio b ON (i.biblionumber=b.biblionumber) LEFT JOIN borrower_attributes g ON (p.borrowernumber=g.borrowernumber) WHERE c.branchcode = '1490' AND (TO_DAYS(curdate())-TO_DAYS(date_due)) >= '' AND g.code="GRADE" ORDER BY g.attribute, p.surname ASC Which generates a report of overdue items on-screen as expected with no problems. BUT when I try to download the results as a CSV, OpenDocument, or tab-separated file, I only get the column heading labels, and none of the actual report data. Is there something I'm missing? I would greatly appreciate whatever advice you could give. Thank you Kind regards Michael Barry Library technician, Fitzroy North Primary School Fitzroy North, Australia.
