Thai Language Support in Zebra Search Index
by Alex Shepherd 02 Nov '16

02 Nov '16

Hi, I’m in the process of transforming and importing bibliographic records from a UNICODE eLM system into Koha. The eLM system has a mixture of English and Thai language titles (and maybe a few other non english UNICODE titles as well). I’m making pretty good progress with the import in that I can search for titles by key words or barcode etc and it is finding them but I’m not sure about the searching for Thai language titles as I don’t know or speak Thai. I see references to modifying the zebra search index configuration here: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/ICU_chains_configuration https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/ICU_Chains_Library#Thai but when I try to follow these examples I get an error: sudo koha-rebuild-zebra -f bbs Warning: You passed -x which is already the default and is now deprecated 07:32:41-30/10 zebraidx(27438) [warn] default.idx:14: Could not load icuchain config 'words-icu.xml' 07:32:41-30/10 zebraidx(27438) [warn] default.idx:23: Could not load icuchain config 'words-icu.xml' 07:32:41-30/10 zebraidx(27438) [fatal] zebra_begin_trans: cannot open register I’ve doubled check the file names in default.idx and they look ok to me. I wonder if anyone else has any experience with tuning the search indexes for the Thai language that may be able to help TIA Regards Alex Shepherd p: +64-7-829 4441 m: +64-21-777764 e: kiwi64ajs(a)gmail.com

Clarification Regarding Security issue of Koha.
by RakeshKumar Singh 02 Nov '16

02 Nov '16

Dear Sir, Good morning Sir, There are few security issue of koha on which we need some clarification and help in resolving .These issue are as below: Issue No 1: In our application , when we login a session is created and saved in cookies of the browser. when we try to open an restricted page of our application from different instance of same browser we are able to get the access as we have already logged in from same browser . As per my understanding this is happening because the session id is getting stored in cookies. this may be also because of sharing of Cookies value across different tabs of the same browser for the same application. Requirement : What we want in our application is how to avoid sharing of cookies across same browsers or different browsers. Issue No 2: There is no Salted Password Mechanism in Koha as per our findings . When ever we login to the application the password can easily be tracked by any proxy as there is no salted mechanism implemented. We are facing issue in the resolving these issues . Request you to please help us in this . thanks in advance. On 11/01/16 09:13 PM, koha-request(a)lists.katipo.co.nz wrote: > > Nau Mai, Haere Mai ki te whanau Koha.

245 subfield h not staying hidden
by Elaine Bradtke 01 Nov '16

01 Nov '16

I have hidden fields before, but for some reason 245 $h will not be hidden. Even when I set that subfield to "ignore", it still shows up in the staff interface and the OPAC. However, when I look at the MARC view, it doesn't appear. Just checked and setting other subfields in other fields to "ignore" seems to work as expected. This applies to 3.22 and 16.05 (MARC 21) Has anyone else seen this? If so, I'll file a bug. -- 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.
