Adding Barcode in Multiple copies of a Title

In the Acquisition Module, at the time ordering receiving, Koha is not allowing to assign Barcode in case of adding Multiple copies of a Title.

Koha should incorporate the facility to make full utilization of Koha Acquisition Module.

If anybody has the solution, kindly provide us.

I also got the required labels for passwords after I tried to save.
Entering three characters or more will make them go away.

The earlier versions of Koha would validate emails while you were entering them.  I noticed this version only validates emails when you save.

Hi Tim,

Koha auto-generating a username when left empty has been the normal
behaviour for a long time. As long as no password is set, this would
make no difference for people being able to log into the OPAC.

But I think you found 2 regressions with the email validation and
password requirement. I have filed 2 bug reports:

*Bug 19907*
<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19907> -
Email validation on patron add/edit not working
*Bug 19908*
<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19908> -
Password should not be mandatory

What's the best way to take part in the discussion?
Can I write only on nabble, even if some answers do not appear there?

Hi,

tags are not searchable from the advanced search at the moment as they
are not part of the bibliographic record indexed by Zebra. See here:

*Bug 5993*
<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5993> - tags
not searchable

Hi,

Nabble is a web version of the mailing list not supported by the
community. Usually once you have subscribed to the mailing list, you use
your email client to read and write to the lists. You'd just send and
email to koha at lists.katipo.co.nz and receive all answers to the list
into your inbox.

Hope that makes sense,

Katrin

Hello all,

I'm trying to test the HTML5 video embedding functionality (sys pref
HTML5MediaEnable is "in OPAC and staff client" and HTML5MediaYouTube is
"embed").

I put a youtube link in the 856 $u and either when I try to save the
record in Cataloguing or when I try to access the record in the OPAC, I
get a software error :

garbage after JSON object, at character offset 57801 (before ";ytplayer.load = fun...") at /usr/share/perl5/WWW/YouTube/Download.pm line 226.

This is the exact link I put in 856$u:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTzaK4l3UJY

I'm using Koha 16.05 with Firefox Quantum.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!
