A more complete report on lost documents
by vanda koha 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

Hi everybody, We are using 16.11.04 Koha version and I need to have a list of all my Lost documents, so I am running the following report: SELECT i.itemnumber, b.title, b.author, i.itemcallnumber, i.barcode, v.lib FROM items i LEFT JOIN biblio b ON (i.biblionumber=b.biblionumber) LEFT JOIN authorised_values v ON (i.itemlost=v.authorised_value) WHERE i.itemlost != 0 AND v.category='LOST' However this is a little incomplete, because I need also the information about the *Edition Statement*, *Publisher Name *and the *Date of Publication *to appear in the results. We use Unimarc and the fields I also need to show up in the results are: 205 a (Edition Statement) 210 c (Publisher Name) 210 d (Date of Publication). Can anyone help me with this SQL query? Many thanks in advance Vanda

customising OPAC - advice needed
by Lisa Peel 27 Feb '18

27 Feb '18

Hello all Normally a bit of a lurker on here but I need some advice! I am playing with the customisation of the OPAC before the library goes live with it but I have hit a few snags (for information, I am not an expert in CSS or HTML and I am basically taking a lot of HTML I find in places like the Koha wiki and copying and pasting and then changing some elements) In changing the top black banner to a lighter colour (say a gold-yellow or a bright red) I can see a narrow black line appearing in between the Cart and Lists Icons. Does anyone know how to resolve this? Apologies, I am sure there is an obvious reason for this but I am not sure what it is – any help would be gratefully received!

Screenshots internationalization for the manual (and acceptance tests?)
by Jonathan Druart 27 Feb '18

27 Feb '18

Hello everybody, I have spent (too much) time trying to automatically generate the screenshots of the manual. The idea behind that was multiple: keep the screenshots up-to-date from one version of Koha to the others, and generate screenshots in each language of the manual. I was really excited after the first half hour when I successfully took my first screenshot with only few lines of code. But after a couple of days I realize that the task is very huge: we have more than 1300 images in the manual, and I have generated only 68 so far. First I need to know how important is that for you. Will it really change our lives to have screenshots translated in other languages (and kept in sync with the interface)? How important is the value added? One thing is sure: if someone wants to translate screenshots, they should do it in a generic way so all languages can take advantage of it. The hidden added value of such mechanism is to add a huge test coverage: we are going to make sure the screenshots can be generated in several languages, catching issues we do not cover in our test suites, etc. A bit of technique: the screenshots are taken using Selenium tests (which we already use a bit in the test suites): it simulates a user's interaction with the interface. The big problem is that, for now, only developers could help me. But do not stop reading now please :) The code looks like that: C4::Context->set_preference('SpecifyReturnDate', 1); $driver->get($base_url.'circ/returns.pl'); screenshot("SpecifyReturnDate", { class => "yui-u first" }); For the "SpecifyReturnDate" screenshot, we set the syspref to 1, hit returns.pl and create a screenshot from the element with a class "yui-u first" (yes the element should have an id). As you can imagine this one is part of the easiest ones. Now imagine "FineNotifyAtCheckin", we want to capture the alert box when the patron has fines and returns an item. The code is: C4::Context->set_preference('FineNotifyAtCheckin', 1); my $b = Koha::Items->find(74)->barcode; issue( $patron, $b ); Koha::Account::Line->new({ borrowernumber => $patron->borrowernumber, accountno => 1, amountoutstanding => 5 })->store; checkin( $b ); screenshot("FineNotifyAtCheckin", { class => "dialog alert" } ); Koha::Account::Lines->search({ borrowernumber => $patron->borrowernumber })->delete; First I assume I have an item with itemnumber=74 that can be issued by a given patron. I check it out and create a fine of 5. I check the item in and tadaaa I can take the screenshot for the alert dialog. Then I clean up. And trust me, this is not the hardest. So what I suggest is that, if (and only if) people are very interested in contributing to translate the screenshots and in the concept of having the whole interface tested, we could offer an easy way to contribute to this project. We could do that using Cucumber (see also bug 13849), and let people write something much more readable (by anybody), like: Scenario: Take a screenshot for SpecifyReturnDate Given I have set the syspref SpecifyReturnDate to 1 And I hit the circ/returns.pl Then I take a screenshot of the element with the class "yui-u first" Or: Scenario: Take a screenshot for FineNotifyAtCheckin Given I have set the syspref FineNotifyAtCheckin to 1 And I checked an item out to a patron And I added a fine of 5 to the patron And I checked the item in Then I take a screenshot of the element with the class "dialog alert" Does it seem more readable? Let me know what do you think of that and if you are willing to help. Then I will see if I can dedicate more time to this project. Cheers, Jonathan Additional information: - For now only sample data from "en" are used. Part of the interface is not translated yet (item types, authorised values, framework, etc.) - The process does not finish for "fr" because of bug 20043 - I have already found several bugs (not reported yet) writing these tests. - The screenshots I generated are from the installer (all of them) and the administration part (~50%) - Currently I cannot regenerate only 1 screenshot (if something went wrong for instance). They should be independent (unless for the installer part) and the script should take an image name in parameter (like perl generate_screenshot.pl --name FineNotifyAtCheckin --lang es). - Could be done later: * Generate screenshots for "fr" with UNIMARC data * Use sample data from the language we want * Have separate data set depending on the language (like having the biblio titles or patron names depending on the region: John Doe for 'en', Jean Dupont for 'fr', Juan Pérez for 'es', etc.) * And certainly much more...

Sir and Madam I am very new to Koha. I can install koha successfully. I also can edit files and work on command line as I work on old DOS. Now I want to migrate from Soul 2.0 to Koha. I know Marc edit and able to convert data from Soul to excel and excel to Marc. Now anyone can provide me check list what to do to run smoothly. As basic - add patrons and libraries, creating calendar, is easy and I can do. however, pls provide me comprehensive guidelines so I can work in bug free environment. There are commercial agencies available here, but my institute is a community institute, run by Rotary Club of Vapi india. Our one third students are studying with aid of scholarships and our institute can not afford commercial agencies. I choose Koha because it is community software. I request to all to help Rajesh Bhatt GIDC Rajju Shroff Rofel Institute of Management Studies Vapi India +919824925609 (whatsapp) takan.bhatt(a)gmail.com
