Mattermost - the new place to be for all things Koha
by Auld, Andrew 15 Apr '24

15 Apr '24

*Mattermost - the new place to be for all things Koha* chat.koha-community.org Many of us have been discussing for ages how we would like to improve communication across the Koha Community and these discussions really came to a head at Hackfest last week in Marseille. We all decided that we needed a new tool that is as inclusive as possible, open source, modern, easy to use and familiar. The tool selected is Mattermost and you can start to use it straight away to ask questions, discuss bugs, raise issues or find out news about the Koha project. It will take a few weeks to settle into, and to implement all of the connections, integrations and bots that will make it as near perfect as a tool can be, but if you are happy to just dive in, then go over to chat.koha-community.org and log in. There is currently a bridge to IRC so that anything posted in IRC appears in a channel in Mattermost and anything posted in that channel (in Mattermost) appears in IRC. There are no plans to leave IRC completely - it will take time for everyone to get used to Mattermost and for the community to make sure it isn’t cutting out any voices if it does decide to stop using IRC. The current Mailing lists are also unaffected by this change. PTFS Europe is hosting the Koha Community Mattermost server and there are a number of admin users across the community. -- Andrew Auld Commercial Director PTFS Europe [image: Phone icon] M: +44 7811 370104 | T: +44 1483 378728 ext. 1010 [image: Email icon] andrew.auld(a)ptfs-europe.com [image: Link icon] www.ptfs-europe.com Sign up for our Newsletter. <http://eepurl.com/dPjjkn> <http://www.linkedin.com/company/ptfs-europe-limited> <http://youtube.com/@PTFSEurope> [image: Click to open PTFS Europe webpage] <https://www.ptfs-europe.com>

Content of tags <request> and <baseURL> in OAI-PMH
by Michael Kuhn 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

Hi In our library we are using Koha 21.11.10 We are trying to use OAI-PMH but when calling https://bibliothek.iunworld.com/cgi-bin/koha/oai.pl?verb=Identify the output is as follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='/opac-tmpl/xslt/OAI.xslt'?> <OAI-PMH xsi:schemaLocation='http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/ http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/OAI-PMH.xsd' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xmlns='http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/'> <responseDate>2024-04-03T16:39:53Z</responseDate> <request verb='Identify'>https://bibliothek.iunworld.com/opac/oai.pl</request> <Identify> <repositoryName>IUN World</repositoryName> <baseURL>https://bibliothek.iunworld.com/opac/oai.pl</baseURL> <protocolVersion>2.0</protocolVersion> <adminEmail>root@localhost</adminEmail> <earliestDatestamp>2020-01-21T13:25:14Z</earliestDatestamp> <deletedRecord>persistent</deletedRecord> <granularity>YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ</granularity> <compression>gzip</compression> </Identify> </OAI-PMH> As you see in both the tags <request> and <baseURL> there is an incorrect URL ( https://bibliothek.iunworld.com/opac/oai.pl ) which only leads to a 404 error page. The correct URL would be https://bibliothek.iunworld.com/cgi-bin/koha/oai.pl I have changed the following line in file "/usr/share/koha/lib/Koha/OAI/Server/Identify.pm" to get the correct URL at least in tag <baseURL>: #baseURL => $baseURL, baseURL => 'https://bibliothek.iunworld.com/cgi-bin/koha/oai.pl', But I couldn't find out how to get the correct URL also in tag <request>. In fact I doubt what I'm doing is the correct way but I couldn't find any information in the manual on how to configure OAI-PMH except via the system preferences. Why is Koha showing the incorrect URL https://bibliothek.iunworld.com/opac/oai.pl at all and how can I change this?

Error 500 when searching in Koha 23.11.0
by Michael Kuhn 13 Apr '24

13 Apr '24

Hi I have updated our database from koha 21.11.10 to the current Koha 23.11.04. When searching the catalogue I get a result list, but when clicking a single hit I get an error 500. In file "plack-error.log" I have found the following line which could be the reason: DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::_dbh_execute(): DBI Exception: DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Unknown column 'issue.renewals_count' in 'field list' at /usr/share/koha/lib/Koha/Objects.pm line 317 In fact there is no table "issue" in Koha 23.11, the correct name of this table is "issues" (see https://schema.koha-community.org/23_11/tables/issues.html) I have searched in Bugzilla but couldn't find a respective bug. But I found the sequence "issue.renewals_count" in https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=137152 so there may be some relation to https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30275 Does anyone know how I can solve this problem with the 500 error?

Update to Koha 23.11.04 fails
by Michael Kuhn 12 Apr '24

12 Apr '24

Hi Today I tried to update a Koha 21.11.10 database to Koha 23.11.04 but the update process failed at the following point: Upgrade to 23.06.00.068 [22:55:59]: Bug 23798 - Convert OpacMaintenanceNotice system preference to additional contents ERROR - {UNKNOWN}: DBI Exception: DBD::mysql::db selectrow_array failed: Unknown column 'id' in 'field list' at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Installer.pm line 741 I couldn't find anything regarding this error in Bugzilla, but maybe it is related to https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23798#c12 which shows a similar error regarding an "Unknown column 'title'". How should I proceed? Best wishes: Michael -- Geschäftsführer · Diplombibliothekar BBS, Informatiker eidg.

The Terrific Every-Other-Thursday Training Video | 415
by BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER 11 Apr '24

11 Apr '24

It's spring, and time for spring cleaning! Let's start with clean prints from reports. Sometimes when you print reports from Koha, you get extra little tidbits like menus or wonky margins. Wouldn't it be nice to just tell the report to print, and get exactly that? Christopher will go over a printing technique he shared as part of an episode in season 2, and apply it to reports, and report templates. George will be mostly bored through the whole process, but in the end concede that Christopher has once again done a good thing for the Koha universe. And everyone will ooh and ah. https://youtu.be/fUrd_dZlHMU Sincerely, Christopher Brannon koha-US Admin

Not possible to create Koha instance with Let's Encrypt
by Michael Kuhn 11 Apr '24

11 Apr '24

Hi I was just installing the most recent Koha 23.11.04-4. But when trying to create my Koha instance with Let's Encrypt I executed the following command: sudo koha-create --create-db mdc --letsencrypt But instead of obtaining a certificate the output ends with the following: (for full output see below): sed: -e Ausdruck #5, Zeichen 53: Unbekannte Option für »s« (in English maybe: sed: -e Expression #5, character 53: Unknown option for »s«) How can I circumvent this problem? Is this maybe the error that Tomas Cohen Arazi mentioned in his mail to the mailinglist on 16:06? Best wishes: Michael -- Geschäftsführer · Diplombibliothekar BBS, Informatiker eidg.
