how to setup "hold filled" email notification?
by justin fang 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

Hi All, I am trying to setup "hold filled" email notification. I found that I have to enable "Enhancedmessagingpreferences" first. After it is enabled, I will able to enable "hold filled"in "Patron categories". BUT I have to enable it again for EVERY patron in his "details" page. Is it correct behavior? Can I enable "hold filled" notification in one click for all patrons? Thanks, Justin

RFC: Reverting MARC batches with deleted records
by Kyle Hall 23 Jun '15

23 Jun '15

The batch record tool can A) overlay/replace existing records B) revert batches, including modifications due to overlays The situation becomes messy when we begin dealing with batches having overlaid records that are now deleted. If one of these batches is reverted, the record is un-deleted and the old pre-overlay record is reinstated ( unless you have CatalogingLog on, then nothing happens do to a bug ). The question becomes, is this the correct thing to do? If a record is deleted, shouldn't it stay deleted? Please let me know what you think!

by Chris Cormack 23 Jun '15

23 Jun '15

As you, we do time based releases so 3.20.1 is due now. However there are a couple of important patches waiting qa that I want to push before the release. So I'm hoping they will get sorted very shortly and I will release as soon as they are. Chris

Sorting of LISTS
by Steven Nickerson 22 Jun '15

22 Jun '15

I think this is a bug but I wanted to know if anyone could think of a way around it. In a List, book titles starting with the articles "A", "An" and "The" appear to be sorted improperly and appear in order WITH the article included instead of "skipping" the article and sorting by the second word in the title. Can anyone think of an "easy" way to get Koha to skip the articles in titles in Lists? Titles seem to sort as expected in search results and other places. I see this issue in the package version of 3.18.06, 3.18.03, and 3.16.02. Thanks! Steve

Search in intranet with non-ASCII-characters
by Beda Szukics 22 Jun '15

22 Jun '15

Hi all Since I upgraded to 3.20 I have a very strange search problem. In the intranet interface searches with a non-ASCII-character show no results. In the opac interface the results are there. For example: "Schärer" results in an error: No results match your search for 'kw,wrdl: Sch�rer' in ... "Scherer" shows some results (in my case 236 items). In /var/log/koha/kb/intranet-error.log I see: [Sat Jun 20 20:34:43.521663 2015] [cgi:error] [pid 20806] [client 192.168.1.52:57404] AH01215: [Sat Jun 20 20:34:43 2015] search.pl: CGI::param called in list context from package main line 421, this can lead to vulnerabilities. See the warning in "Fetching the value or values of a single named parameter" at /usr/share/perl5/CGI.pm line 436., referer: http://bibliotheksverwaltung.kollegi/cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/search.pl?q=Sch… However there is also an entry for "Scherer": [Sat Jun 20 20:37:13.234366 2015] [cgi:error] [pid 20899] [client 192.168.1.52:59580] AH01215: [Sat Jun 20 20:37:13 2015] search.pl: CGI::param called in list context from package main line 421, this can lead to vulnerabilities.

Any suggestions? Beda

OPAC - materials specified (MARC21 952$3)
by Paul A 21 Jun '15

21 Jun '15

I'm wondering if many libraries use "materials specified" (MARC21 952$3)? We do, particularly for serials, but the data is only available to staff and does not appear in the OPAC. So I have modified our OPAC display to add the extra column (see e.g. <http://opac.navalmarinearchive.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber…>) -- if there is no 952$3 data, the column does not get displayed. If there is any interest, I could file this as a "bug/enhancement." Best -- Paul
