Issue with updated_on in borrowers table and LDAP auth
by Betka, Corey A 12 May '24

12 May '24

Hello, I've inherited a really old install of koha (3.18.11) and I'm trying to get it migrated to current stable. I've figured out most of the database upgrade issues along the way thanks to the mailing list archives and old bug entries, but now I've run into something I can't find a solution for. Relevant versions: OS: Ubuntu 22.04 Koha: 23.11.04-4 MySQL: 8.0.36-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 Issue: When a user is created via LDAP auth to the OPAC, the updated_on field in the borrowers table is set to "0000-00-00 00:00:00" and this makes it fail to display in the Intranet interface, showing a 500 error for that page of Patrons or if you search directly for the patron. If I have the new patron request a change in their record via OPAC and approve it in the Intranet, the updated_on field changes to a current value and then things work as expected. That's obviously not scalable. We have LDAP auth configured to connect to our campus active directory with the following settings: <replicate>1</replicate> <update>1</update> <auth_by_bind>1</auth_by_bind> <mapping> <firstname is="givenName" ></firstname> <surname is="sn" ></surname> <userid is="sAMAccountName" ></userid> <email is="mail" ></email> <address is="streetAddress" ></address> <city is="l" >Champaign, IL</city> <privacy is="" >1</privacy> <branchcode is="" >TCC</branchcode> <categorycode is="" >ST</categorycode> </mapping> I've done some slight modification to the logging in Patron.pm and the values that are being logged for updated_on don't make much sense to me: "updated_on" : { "after" : "SCALAR(0x55fff641bca0)", "before" : "2024-05-03 21:59:40" } } Any suggestions? Is this a side effect of explicit_defaults_for_timestamp changing in MySQL? Does mariadb handle this differently? I had to use mysql to get past some foreign key issues early in the database upgrade scripts, but am open to migrating to mariadb now that the data can be brought forward.

The Terrific Every-Other-Thursday Training Video | 417
by BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER 10 May '24

10 May '24

Cleaning up our data is important. And not everyone does it the same way. Sometimes cleaning up data can be a little scary, especially when it comes to deleting old patron data. Today George and Christopher talk about their workflows for deleting patrons, and some of the pitfalls with deleting these records. They'll also talk about a bug in discussion about making improvements with deletions in Koha. https://youtu.be/WLrEnYD_jOY?si=YnWBj_ZTTgWyR2x_ Sincerely, Christopher Brannon koha-US Admin

Hi everyone, How do I configure an ID to validate the duplicity of a new record when it is added for the first time in the cataloging module, for example isbn 082a$, only when making the entry, but not in the database. Guillermo Gonzalez Biblioteca Universidad Simón Bolívar Venezuela
