support newer Linux version
by ReindeR Rustema 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

Hello, New to the list and not yet a user of Koha. The IT-person who will install it says that it runs on old Linux-versions he does not have anymore. Indeed, when I check the specs and compare that with Wikipedia I see that both the mentioned Debian and Ubuntu-versions are not new. It is an implicit compliment to the stability of those and I can understand that you don't want to force an OS upgrade to the current user base. But for new users it is an extra hurdle. Can I expect to see this hurdle disappear soon or should I look for alternatives for Koha? — met vriendelijke groet, ReindeR Rustema

GDPR Policy, Pages feature, and 22.05 vs. 22.11
by David Liddle 03 Nov '23

03 Nov '23

Greetings all! Our consortium, which has libraries and patrons subject to the EU's GDPR, has published a new privacy policy that was created and tested with the new Pages feature in Koha 22.11 (on our development server) and then copied to the old Pages/CMS modification in Koha 22.05 (on our production server). On each: - The system preference "PrivacyPolicyURL" was set to the full URL for a page hosted by the same server, "opac-page.pl?page_id=xx" (22.11) or "...pages.pl?p=privacy_full" (22.05). - The system preference "GDPR_Policy" was set to "enforced". We observed something interesting: - On 22.11, the consent page and policy link worked as intended. A patron who had not yet consented to the policy was presented with the consent page, and clicking the policy link opened the policy page in a new tab. - On 22.05, the consent page and policy link did NOT work as intended. The patron was presented with the consent page as expected, but the policy link opened a new tab that loaded the consent page again. After reviewing the situation for a while, I formed the following hypotheses: - Koha 22.11 is NOT actually behaving as designed, because having GDPR_Policy set to "enforced" should cause access to all content served by Koha to be blocked until the patron has consented to the privacy policy. However, access to content served by the new Pages function is NOT blocked. - Koha 22.05 is actually behaving as designed, because access to all content served by Koha is indeed being blocked. The "workaround" for Koha 22.05 is straightforward: - I copied the HTML content of the relevant page, formatting included, to an HTML file served directly by Apache and not by its Koha processes, which means that it is not subject to blocking. - Any other location not served through Koha should also work. Questions and Thoughts: - Can folks out there in the Koha community confirm the respective behavior in Koha 22.05 and Koha 22.11? - Can someone among the development crew clarify the designed behavior and state whether or not a bug exists? - The advantage of creating the privacy policy in the new Pages feature is that it allows for translations, which is somewhat important to our multilingual consortium. - Given the above, could an exception to blocking due to the enforcement of GDPR_Policy be created for a page that would be marked somehow as being associated with the policy? Thank you all for reading, and special thanks in advance to those who give input!

Poll for dates of online Koha Documentation workshops
by Charillon, Aude 03 Nov '23

03 Nov '23

Hello, Online Koha Documentation workshops are (almost) back! Philip Orr (Documentation team + LMS Cloud, Germany) and I are organising the 2023-24 Winter series. We would like to hold one event before the end of the year and one in January. The aims are: * for new Documenters to learn to edit the Manual from scratch and / or get help; * for experienced Documenters to have time set aside to document, ask questions and chat with others; * to get more people to edit the Koha Manual - so it becomes more exhaustive and more useful for everyone in the community! So far we have thought the workshops as informal drop-ins. What we do and how we organise ourselves on the day (e.g., split rooms) will depend on who turns up. To provide you with a chance to take part in these events, we would like to know what dates and times would work best for you. Please let us know by filling in this poll by 13th November: https://framadate.org/kohadocworkshops23 I am aware none of the proposed times are particularly convenient for people in Oceania. If you are in that area and wanted to take part, please leave a comment on the poll with an indication of your timezone so we may take it into account for a future series of workshops. As usual, please contact me if you have any comments or questions! Thanks, Aude [aude_c on Koha IRC] Documentation Manager for the 23.11 cycle Aude Charillon Customer Services Consultant PTFS Europe aude.charillon(a)ptfs-europe.com
