Punctuation in personal names
by Bruns, Anke 04 Sep '23

04 Sep '23

Hi everybody, a library pointed me to a problem with the display of abbreviated personal first names in 100 and 700 (and possibly others). The final dot in these fields is chopped in the results' list and detailed record view (OPAC and Staff Interface). Thus, a name like Kuthy, A. reads Kuthy, A and Riemann, K.-U. becomes Riemann, K.-U and Lau, Y.Y. appears as Lau, Y.Y (I omitted the full stop in the previous sentence to avoid confusion.) Whereas it probably makes sense to chop the final punctuation in some cases in the display of personal names fields, the dot should be displayed for abbreviated first names. Have you a hint for me how best to make these dots visible in the results' list and record view? Should we add a CSS directive in OPACUserCSS and StaffUserCSS? Or better add/change the passages for the relevant fields in the xsl files? Or something else? Thanks in advance!

Circulation Check In Logging
by Ms. Naveen Ali 01 Sep '23

01 Sep '23

Dear all, We are using Koha Version 22.05. I was looking at the logs to identify the staff member who had checked in a book. I can find the staff member who checked out the book but not the one who checked it in. There is a global system preference RecordStaffUserOnCheckout for Checkout However I cannot find one for CheckIn. With best regards, Naveen Ali ITM-JE (EAKL) Inst Representative for HEC Digital Library Resources. NEDUET, Karachi.

Large number of action_logs records
by Coehoorn, Joel 01 Sep '23

01 Sep '23

We're seeing a large quantity of records filling the action_logs table... nearly 18,000 in the last 24 hours. This in turn uses a LOT of disk space... it was briefly over 90GB until I intervened, and because MySQL is dumb about shrinking tables we were fortunate I caught it in time. It looks like the update_totalissues.pl script is running every night and putting the entire biblio record into the info column in the table for every record we have. What could be causing this, and how can I stop it (without disabling the job completely, which I assume is part of Koha and important)? *Joel Coehoorn* Director of Information Technology *York University* Office: 402-363-5603 | jcoehoorn(a)york.edu | york.edu *Please contact helpdesk(a)york.edu <helpdesk(a)york.edu> for technical assistance.* The mission of York University is to transform lives through Christ-centered education and to equip students for lifelong service to God, family, and society

Slow Item Edit Routines
by Rudy Hinojosa 31 Aug '23

31 Aug '23

Using v23.05.02 release has been a great experience thus far, but I am noticing that the system is doing something CPU or process intrinsic when it comes to editing an item. I'm unable to edit any single field or trigger a drop down until at least 15 seconds have passed. I'm leaning that there is some process probably pre-loading and populating the KOHA ITEM TYPE drop downs. The system becomes hog tied until this process is completed. After that, it's smooth sailing and fast saving as well. I've disabled catalog logging changes for now to see if that helps, but outside of that, does anyone have any suggestions. The server is beefy. The user loads are light. All systems are nominal including memcached, and no warning in the about us screens. Rudy Hinojosa

Performance improvement suggestions
by Furst, Kevin 31 Aug '23

31 Aug '23

Hi, I'm running v.23.05.x on Ubuntu 20.04. I've currently got zebra running for the search engine. It works correctly but is really slow. We're talking ~10 seconds for a return on catalog search query and maybe 5-6 seconds on a patron search in the staff side. Our library only has ~1000 patrons and 20k titles. I'm wondering if anyone has any performance enhancement recommendations on the server-side that they've had success with that would help speed up those times. *Kevin Furst* Technology Director Pine River-Backus Schools o | 218.587.8030 @ | kfurst(a)prbschools.org Technology Office/Help Desk: 218-587-8510 *Confidentiality Notice: This E-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
