Re: [Koha] Help from people experienced in Arabic, Hebrew, and CJK languages (and Vietnamese)
by David Cook 18 Dec '15

I would also add that we need feedback from Vietnamese users. I admit that I'm not very familiar with Vietnamese, but I know it's a tonal language (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnamese_alphabet#Tone_marks) which relies on a lot of diacritics with a Latin-based alphabet, so removing those tone marks could perhaps be highly problematic for Vietnamese users. According to http://translate.koha-community.org/, the Vietnamese translation is 67% complete, so I suspect there are Vietnamese users of Koha out there. I just noticed Dung Hoang's email address in the listserv archives, so including him here for his input. I wonder if the Romanization of CJK languages would be a thing we'd need to consider as well... we don't support any CJK libraries, so I'm not sure how those libraries store their data... whether its as ideograms or in romanized text... I'm curious about Danish and other Scandinavian languages as well, as å may be equivalent to "aa" but not "a", I think? -- More importantly, I agree with Galen. Do patrons expect to enter diacritics when entering their usernames? As Galen pointed out on Bugzilla, the original unaccenting of usernames started with http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7411. Sophie: Do you recall how a userid with diacritics could cause login failures?

Patron deletion: Restricted dropdown menu
by Charlotte Stock 17 Dec '15

17 Dec '15

We would like to delete patrons with the category of "student" who enrolled prior to 2015; however, the dropdown list on the Delete Patron page does not display the student category (see attached). Is this because the default dimensions for the dropdown box fall short or might there be another reason why we are not able to select the "student" category from this list?

Hello everyone, We have a koha instance on a local server (no public URL yet) 3.20 (package install on Debian 7) Our administrator was working on the email configuration today. He left, but afterward, when I tried to access the staff client, I get this error message: "Software error: Can't call method "config" on unblessed reference at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Context.pm line 751. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Auth.pm line 89. Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/mainpage.pl line 25. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/mainpage.pl line 25. For help, please send mail to the webmaster ([no address given]), giving this error message and the time and date of the error." What does this mean? My admin person says he is not sure what was changed. Any advice?
