Cannot stage authority files in 22.11.
by Raymund Delahunty 15 Oct '23

15 Oct '23

We moved from 21.11 to 22.11 recently and since then attempts to stage and import authority record have failed. We are using the LC-card-number index as the matchpoint and have tried changing the normalisation rule from None to Remove spaces but the stage still fails. We can stage without matching, but when we change the matchpoint afterwards to LC-card-number (auth 010$a) we receive an Error 500. We have also had a problem with diacritics in authority searches when using Zebra and on our test server this is solved using Elasticsearch which we are testing out. But ES has not resolved our auth staging problem. Any ideas? Ray Delahunty University of the Arts London .

[translate] Migrate Pootle to Weblate
by Jonathan Druart 15 Oct '23

15 Oct '23

Hello everybody, If you are a translator of Koha you should read this. Pootle is dead and we should move to Weblate, which is an active and well maintained project. We have been setting up a test server to let translators see how it goes. THIS IS A TEST SERVER: none of the changes will be saved! There are some changes in how the projects are structured. We will now have 2 projects: "koha" and "koha-manual". Each will contain several "components". One component in Pootle can only track on po file, which means we need one component per po file: https://translate.test.koha-community.org/projects/koha/ shows https://snipboard.io/rtKdTS.jpg It can be a bit disturbing at first, but there is this view: https://translate.test.koha-community.org/languages/es/koha/ that shows the progress per language: https://snipboard.io/UCJ1Ky.jpg The big win are: * We should no longer get "Critical errors: Python brace placeholders" (to be confirmed) * Translation changes will be propagated between the components of a given project, and so between versions: if you modify a string for 23.05 it will also modify it for the other branches! (to be confirmed as well!) guest user (not logged in) can only make suggestions: https://translate.test.koha-community.org/ User reviewer/6Mx1&a2S$HU*1KNbzCZV can accept suggestions. You are welcome to test and provide feedback! There is still a lot of work before effectively doing the migration, but we need first to know if users/translators are happy with it! Let us know! Cheers, Jonathan PS: About the structure of the projects, I've contacted the author of Weblate: https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate/discussions/9556 Next version will add a mecanism to structure components within a project!

The Terrific Every-Other-Thursday Training Videos | S4E3
by BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

Okay, are you confused by the Episode in the title? This is the Terrific Every-Other-Thursday Training Video's first attempt at a live presentation together, and in front of an audience. Technically, it didn't go all that great, but when we polish things up, it looks real nice! (Well, nicer.) Anyway, we presented this episode at the koha-US 2023 Conference in Portsmouth, NH, and it was a fantastic conference! In case you missed it, in this episode, we explore the nuts and bolts of Koha notices, how they work, and the things you can do. Officially aired on 9/21/23, but is the official episode for 10/12/23. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/z-2p6EEm4zY Sincerely, Christopher Brannon 2023 koha-US President

Adding clickable buttons for lists and adding the library work hours on OPAC
by Aida Djikic 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

Hello, During the Koha US conference (I was following it online) there were a couple of models that I noticed (namely https://model.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl and https://model2.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl) and wanted to see if I could replicate some of the elements in my own OPAC. The first element is the clickable buttons, which I assume display publicly available lists? Is it possible to combine those with the Coverflow plugin? Are there other models out there that do interesting things with lists? The second element was the "Our hours" element which highlighted the current day in another color. I assume setting up a calendar for this would be needed? And then using jquery perhaps? I am unsupported so I would need to learn this on my own. I have a little bit more experience with things now than several months ago when I was starting out, but would still need a simple explanation! :) -- Regards, Aida

Signing into Koha with Microsoft 365 credentials
by Aida Djikic 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

Hello, I am having trouble receiving emails with my usual institution email, so I had to sign up with my personal email. I am happy to report that our university has decided to try out Koha for our theses and dissertations for the time being, but they would like the students to use their existing Microsoft 365 login credentials. Is it possible for these logins to be integrated with Koha, and how? Thank you in advance! -- Regards, Aida
