Not accepting Date of birth after upgrade to 16.05.05
by anjoze 02 Nov '16

02 Nov '16

After upgrading to version 16.05.05 I cant insert/change Patron's Date of Bird anymore. If I pick from calendar it just disappears. If I insert the date manually I get this message: Please enter a valid date (should match yyyy-mm-dd) I've deleted all cookies but the problem persists. Maybe a bug? ----- Koha version: 3.08.04 - - José Anjos -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Not-accepting-Date-of-birth-after-upgrade… Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

logrotate, anacron and bug 16885
by Mark Alexander 02 Nov '16

02 Nov '16

This morning I started up my Koha test VM (Debian 8) and around 7:35 plack stopped working. I believe this is the logrotate/zebra death issue mentioned here: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=16885 I am running 16.05.04.01 and verified that the patch shown in the above bug is present in /usr/sbin/koha-stop-zebra. In an email to this list a couple of months ago, Radek Siman suggested disabling anacron as follows: 1) open /etc/cron.d/anacron and add a # to turn off the line starting with 30 7 * * * ....anacron... 2) mv /usr/sbin/anacron /usr/sbin/anacron-temporarily-renamed I'm going to do this until I find a better solution.

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.

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
