KohaCon14 Info?
by Nicole Engard 19 Aug '14

19 Aug '14

Hello folks, I'm wondering if there is any more info about KohaCon14 available. I know the dates and the location, but I'm wondering about the hotels specifically. Will we have a group rate anywhere? Or are people just finding hotels on their own? Also is there anything we should know about coming in to Cordoba? Tips for getting around or from the airport to the hotels/conference location? The wiki page: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon14 and the website: http://koha-community.org/kohacon/kohacon14/ are a bit sparse on info. Thanks! Nicole

Content on labels
by Steven Nickerson 19 Aug '14

19 Aug '14

Hi all, We are running the package version of 3.16.02 and I'm wondering if on a small "spine" label I can limit the number of characters printed? Currently we include the entire "author" field but we'd like to limit that to only the first 8 characters of the "author"? When defining a Label Layout can I simply check the "List Fields" radio button and then use standard SQL like 'LEFT(author,8)'? If not, anyone know of another way to limit it? Thanks! Steve

Bug in Koha 3.16's C4::Search or intended behavior?
by Witoszynskyj Stephan 19 Aug '14

19 Aug '14

Hi, Yesterday I wrote an e-mail concerning an unexpected behavior (at least for me) of the „Refine your search“ bar (facets) in Koha 3.16. Since, I didn’t get an answer and my question gave me a sleep-less night, I tried to understand what’s going on by myself. :-) Although, I think that I kind of understand why I the results for the facets are different from Koha 3.14, I am still wondering if that’s the intended behavior. In Koha 3.14, the facets show only the 1XX tags of the authority records. In Koha 3.16, also 4XX tags are shown. The difference in behavior is caused by changes in C4::Search’s getRecords function. If I replace lines 510-533 with the old code, I get the previous (and, in my case, desired behavior). Of course, this is a very dirty hack, but I just wanted to pin down the causes of the different behavior. The reason why I preferred the previous behavior is that in our authority records usually have a large number of 4XX fields (especially in the case of authors). If all these fields get shown in the facets the facets become unusable. So, if the current behavior is the intended one, it would be nice to be have an option (either by a system preference or by a similar mechanism as used for which fields are used facets) to control which fields are shown. Regards, Stephan

Sandboxes
by Nicole Engard 19 Aug '14

Hi all, Tomorrow the Koha North American Users Group will be testing a lot of patches (we hope). Today when we gave lessons on how to use them we hit a few snags. Many people never got an email and a few sandboxes kept showing the installer even though that wasn't chosen. Would folks at BibLibre please give the sandboxes a look over before tomorrow so we don't cause major breakage :) Thanks a bunch! Nicole

I do not want to be a part of whatever community this is. I think my email has been compromised. I have even gone thru the steps to unsubscribe and I am still getting an influx of emails.

Question about how Notices work in 3.16
by Nicole Engard 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

Hi all, I got a good question about notices in 3.16 that I don't know the answer to. As always the answer will go in the manual once I have it :) ------------ In the "Overdue notice/status triggers" tool, if we just put a check mark in just the "Email" column, will an overdue notice be printed for people with out email? If we put a check in both the "Email" and "Print" columns, does Koha send the patron both an email and a printed notice? ------------ I think there is a bug right now where the print isn't generated at all - but I'd like the theoretical answer so that we have it documented when the bug is fixed :) Nicole
