20 Feb '18

Hello Chris, I have a major problem, i have been trying to setup mta on koha 17.11 installed package with ubuntu 16.04. i have seen alot of instructions on setting up emails using gmail and postfix but none on if you have a domain name that is hosted on the web wih a user account like hdimka(a)hopewell.com.ng. I have been delaying a library from launching their koha for over two months now and still yet am not able to configure the email sending for their patrons. I would really need your help and direction on how to configure MTA it to work for sending emails , as on the koha 17.11 manual their is no guide on how to set-up email using MTA. -- Hughes Dimka Hopewell Solutions Services Nigeria Ltd No.15 Adekunle Kuye Street, Off Agbonyin Street, Off Adelabu Street, Surulere,Lagos State Nigeria tel: +2348066951910 email: hdimka(a)gmail.com

Backups and customized apache conf
by Rubeno Fernández 18 Feb '18

18 Feb '18

Hello all, I think I found a bug. As root, I was getting this error mail from cron: /etc/cron.daily/koha-common: mysqldump: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure. tar: etc/apache2/sites-enabled/biblioteko.conf: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors This is from koha-run-backups, which finds my Koha instance 'biblioteko' with koha-list and then looks for the apache configuration file /etc/apache2/sites- enabled/biblioteko.conf. The problem seems to be that I edited that file when I added a self-signed certificate to my intranet, so that now the original 'biblioteko.conf' file is in 'sites-available', whereas the one in 'sites-enabled' is named 'biblioteko- ssl.conf'. root@katalogo-ubuntu16:~# a2query -s biblioteko No site matches biblioteko (disabled by site administrator) root@katalogo-ubuntu16:~# a2query -s biblioteko-ssl biblioteko-ssl (enabled by site administrator) I think the documentation should specify that the name of the apache conf file cannot be modified once created by koha-create. On the other hand, the tarred backups appear in /var/spool/koha/biblioteko, but I don't know whether they're well formed. Did any one ever change the name of the apache conf file and encounter this issue? Are those backup files functional? Rubén Fernández Asensio

Dear Vinod My personal views as koha community user and part of volunteer LIS for koha it is not really a fit solution rather it will kill the spirit of community , contribution and volunteerism I.e many koha support providers are doing and free to do customization as per local need and if they think it is use full after some period they can push their customized features to community version QA to add if needed I would rather welcome if some koha support companies in India took you idea and do as I mentioned aforesaid On Sat, Feb 17, 2018 at 12:00 PM <koha-request(a)lists.katipo.co.nz> wrote: > Send Koha mailing list submissions to > koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > koha-request(a)lists.katipo.co.nz > > You can reach the person managing the list at > koha-owner(a)lists.katipo.co.nz > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Koha digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Crowdfunding for Koha Online Purchase Suggestion
by vinod mishra 16 Feb '18

16 Feb '18

Dear all/Koha users, As you know at present by default all the category of patrons can either place purchase suggestions or not via opac but many educational institutes only allow purchase suggestion by the faculty or some specific category of users. Similarly in public and other libraries children’s may not be allowed for purchase suggestions or lower level of non technical/teaching staffs in special libraries. Hence this restriction is very much needed which is applicable for all libraries globally. As per discussion and email one of the leading Koha supporter/Developer L2C2 from India ( http://www.l2c2.co.in/) is ready to develop the said feature and the charge would be only Rs. 20000/- (Approx USD 280). Hence i am ready to pay Rs. 5000 and expecting some more contributors with a minimum of Rs. 1000. Kindly give your details through google form <https://goo.gl/forms/8Z7zKrF3etK45AFq1> if you are willing to be part of this voluntary support. For more details please visit at: http://mishravk.com/2018/02/crowdfunding/ Please note that this is the correct method for getting the new feature in Koha so that amount once paid the benefit will reach globally. I know many of the good features has been added by Koha vendors on huge payment basis specially by Indian government libraries but benefit never came to public domain, which is against the open source ethics in my view. Please approach your vendor to make such code public if you have already paid for it. With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.
