Can't specify due date/renewal due date in 16.05
by King, Fred 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

Yesterday I upgraded Koha from 3.20 to 16.05, on Ubuntu 14.04LTS. Now we can't specify a due date for either checkouts or renewals. When we use the calendar to click on a date nothing happens; when we try to put in a date using the format 2016-12-30 I get an error message "Please enter a valid date (should match yyyy-mm-dd)." SpecifyDueDate is set to Allow. Any ideas? I've run out of them here.

Re: [Koha] Koha Community Marketing Initiative

Hi Bob, Great idea! I have set up an email address for anyone who would like to send content. I can also set up a Dropbox folder for larger files if needed. The email address to send content that we can use to market Koha is kohamarketing(a)bywatersolutions.com <mailto:kohamarketing@bywatersolutions.com>. People who are interested in taking part in this initiative can also email me at this address and once we have a team we will all receive emails sent to that address. If you are someone who wants to help contribute to the community in ways other than doing development work this is the perfect thing for you!! > Nathan A.

Field 773 $t not editable in any framework
by Michael Kuhn 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

Hi I'm working with Koha 16.05.05. I'm trying to change a copy of the standard framework. To catalogue sets with volumes we will need to unhide MARC field 773 in the framework. It is no problem to unhide 773 $w by clicking on "Advanced constraints" and marking the field "Editor", the click "Save changes". But also $t (for the title) is needed. There, when clicking on "Advanced constraints", nothing happens, so the tab will not open to mark the field "Editor". Instead, if "Basic constraints" is open, it will close "Basic constraints", but still "Advanced constraints" will not open. I also tried to unload the framework as an XML file and to edit it with vi - unfortunately the file has about 4.4 million characters in only 28 lines! vi seems not to be able to edit a file with such extremely long lines and just gets stuck, eating up 100% of cpu. Except on my own Koha installation I also tested this on the Catalyst demo installtion, it is same thing there. * http://demo-intra.mykoha.co.nz/ How to solve this? Is this a bug?

Bibliotheca integration
by Justin Martin 17 Nov '16

17 Nov '16

Our current library system for the state of Maine uses Overdrive for e-books and digital audiobooks. I am about to go live with our new KOHA system in a week or two. I just received an email stating that the state library system will be changing to Bibliotheca. http://www.bibliotheca.com/3/index.php/en-uk/ Until the official switch over we will be using the integrated overdrive features. I was curious if there is any plans of integration of this into KOHA? Until then I was curious if anyone has used the KOHA site to open links within the main frame while maintaining the menu's along the top and left? Or is it simply better to have it open in another window? Justin Martin Library Assistant Abel J. Morneault Memorial Library

What's on in Koha devel #7
by Jonathan Druart 15 Nov '16

15 Nov '16

Hello librarians and developers, Koha 16.11 will be released soon, in 1 week only (November 22nd). We are entering the string freeze which means that only bug fixes without string changes will get pushed. But developers are already focused on 16.12, the next development version :) Note that we have a blocker (for the release) and we should get a signoff on it ASAP, see bug 17522. = Refactoring = I have continued to move the C4::Members code to the Koha namespace. It's quite easy code and so easy to rewrite, but I tried to cut it into small chunks of code and it's very hard to create a tree of bug dependencies. You can help me testing the orange boxes of this dependency graph: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/showdependencygraph.cgi?id=16846 (scroll to the right!) The shifting of the biblioitems.marcxml field to another table (bug 17196) is still in the needs sign off queue. = Elastic search = We are adapting our code to the new 2.4 version of Elastic search, see bug 17255. This can be tested on kohadevbox (Search for "elasticsearch_version" in the README file) = Developer tools = == KohaDevBox == KohaDevBox 2.0 has been released. It now works under Windows and Mac OS. See the announcement on koha-devel: http://lists.koha-community.org/pipermail/koha-devel/2016-November/043272.h… Thanks Tomas for the great work! == Koha misc4dev == I will maintain an external repository where I will write some misc for dev. The goal is to provide useful scripts to fill the database with extra data, auto configure features,etc. See the announcement on koha-devel: http://lists.koha-community.org/pipermail/koha-devel/2016-November/043277.h… The next dev meeting is on December 14th https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Development_IRC_meeting_14_December_20… 13UTC. You can still fill the poll to find the best 2 slots for dev meetings: https://framadate.org/3dAEB8zqQLzzTptD Cheers, Jonathan

Did you mean koha
by Hugo Agud 15 Nov '16

15 Nov '16

Good morning We are trying to use 'Did you mean' Explode Terms in Koha but we have not been able to make it work, it always return us 0 results. We have checked the authorities field and it seems it is property configured screenshot: https://postimg.org/image/c6w250nuv/ We have reindex zebra, we have activated explode terms and when the user launch a search it suggest the related, broader and narrower term, but when a user click on any term it does't reutns any result except for narrower. we have checked that for narrower it returns any results, but we suspect it is because there is azebra index under su-na, but it is not giving the proper results. anybody is using this functionality? we have not seen any bug about this, then perhaps we are doing something wrong. We have also notices that the advane search option subject and broader, related terms is not working neither. ( it is using su-br, su-rl, and su-na again) any clue on this issue, please? We're working on Debian 8 jessy, koha 3.22 with marc21 flavour thanks a lot 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> <http://www.orex.es/omeka> Director Calle Sant Joaquin,117, 2º-3ª · 08922 Santa Coloma de Gramanet - Tel: 933 856 138 hagud(a)orex.es · http://www.orex.es/ No imprima este mensaje a no ser que sea necesario.

Curious behaviour with batch modified records - ghost fields
by Elaine Bradtke 14 Nov '16

14 Nov '16

We're running 3.22.07 in the test site. I was testing out some batch modification to biblios in Koha. I started out with 440 records that needed to be fixed, but because of a glitch in my report, I didn't capture all the biblio numbers the first go round and had to do the modification twice to catch the last 53. The modification: If there was a 245$h present in the record (from a list of biblio numbers), it should be deleted. The first batch of records worked fine. I checked my results with an advanced search and discovered the 53 records my report had missed, rewrote the report, and picked up those biblio numbers When I applied the same modification to the last batch of 53 records, something strange happened. Running the same advanced search that turned up the stragglers, I found they were still coming up in the results. Looking at the records in the results list, the field was still displaying. But when I looked at the MARC view, it was not there. We ran a complete re-index of the data, cleared the browser history, even shut everything down and rebooted my laptop. But these records persist in being found by searching something that isn't there. And displaying something that isn't there. I have found a way to force this behaviour to stop. If I open the record for editing, and then close it again (without touching anything), the ghost field stops haunting the record. It looks and behaves in searches as it should. Any ideas why this is happening, and more importantly how to fix it? Or have I dug up another bug? (for the superstitious among you, I was working on these batch modifications on October 31st). -- Elaine Bradtke Data Wrangler VWML English Folk Dance and Song Society | http://www.efdss.org Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent's Park Road, London NW1 7AY Tel +44 (0) 20 7485 2206 (This number is for the English Folk Dance and Song Society in London, England.
