[Koha] Wrong/Truncate Calculation in Acquisition

[vinod mishra]

Dear All,

Probably i am facing problem related to bug
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18471 in Koha
16.11.07 but even after upgrading to on my test machine to 16.11.11 and
restored the database, previous calculation does not get corrected and
still showing the same first 1/2 digit of entire numerical value if more
than 1000.

Please suggest.

With Regards,

Re: [Koha] Changing user password

[Michael Kuhn]

Hi Luis


We are creating user with generic password,
Does koha can allow user to change, inmediataly the user log in, to change
the password?



If you set "OpacPasswordChange" to "Allow" users will be allowed to 
change their password after logging on into the OPAC.


Hope this helps.

Best wishes: Michael

Re: [Koha] Internal server error when trying to open Budget or Funds

[Michael Kuhn]

Hi Jonathan

But now I also found an error message in 
"plack-error.log".


When clicking "Budgets" it says:

Can't call method "symbol" on an undefined value at 
/usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/admin/aqbudgetperiods.pl line 94.


When clicking "Funds" it says:

Can't call method "symbol" on an undefined value at 
/usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/admin/aqbudgets.pl line 53.


It's the same in both my installations with Koha 17.05.1 ( 
http://koha.adminkuhn.ch:8080/?userid=demo=demo ) and also on 
another installation with Koha 16.11.1.



Well, I found the problem... line 94 says:

$template->param( symbol => $active_currency->symbol,
  currency => $active_currency->currency

I then checked if there was a currency defined and and activated - there 
wasn't. This is probably because I didn't load any example values (?).


However, I then entered a new currency and activated it - now it works 
as expected.


Many thanks & have a good weekend! Michael

Re: [Koha] Internal server error when trying to open Budget or Funds

[Michael Kuhn]

Hi Jonathan


It works for me on 17.05.01.

Check the logs, if you see something like:
Template process failed: undef error - round() overflow. Try smaller 
precision or use Math::BigFloat at /home/koha/src/Koha/Number/Price.pm 
line 44


It's a known bug: Bug 15770 - Number::Format issues with large numbers


I can reproduce the error as described in Bug 15770 (Koha menu 
"Administratuion > Patron categories > New category") - including the 
given error message.

* https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15770

But I don't see no connection with clicking "Budget" resp. "Funds" 
because they won't even OPEN, instead the browser says "Internal Server 
Error". Since it's not possible to open these menus I can of course not 
enter a high number there... But now I also found an error message in 
"plack-error.log".


When clicking "Budgets" it says:

Can't call method "symbol" on an undefined value at 
/usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/admin/aqbudgetperiods.pl line 94.


When clicking "Funds" it says:

Can't call method "symbol" on an undefined value at 
/usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/admin/aqbudgets.pl line 53.


It's the same in both my installations with Koha 17.05.1 ( 
http://koha.adminkuhn.ch:8080/?userid=demo=demo ) and also on 
another installation with Koha 16.11.1.


Best wishes: Michael

It could be that the zebra server is not running.  Try this:

[Koha] Internal server error when trying to open Budget or Funds

[Michael Kuhn]

Hi

When trying to click "Budgets" or "Funds" in Koha menu "Administration > 
Acquisition parameters" just a blank page appears, saying "Internal 
server error". Like this, of course, no new budget or fund can be added.


I am experiencing this on Koha 16.11.1 as well as on Koha 17.05.1 (but 
not on Koha 16.11.4). I tried this as a user with the rights of a 
"superlibrarian" as well as with a user with fewer permissions.


Has anyone experienced the same and can help, or should I maybe open a 
bug case?


Best wishes: Michael

Re: [Koha] Problem with migration from KOHA 3.20 to 16.11.11

[Jonathan Druart]

Paul,

I am sure you understood what I meant: the Koha debian packages are based
on Jessie (and so Ubuntu 16.04).
We had problems with Apache versions (2.4) and other Perl libs that were
not packaged/packagable easily for Wheezy.
Debian packages are generated by only 1 guy (Mirko) and developers are
(almost) all working on the same system. Same for the CI, we only run tests
on Ubuntu 16.04 and Jessie. If someone need Wheezy support (or any other
linux distro support), they can contact us and propose their help.

From the wiki page:
"""
As of November 2016, the Debian packages for Koha are based on Jessie
(Debian 8). Xenial (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS) is based on Jessie.
That means Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is no longer supported.
"""

Jonathan

Re: [Koha] Koha Data Migration and cover Image

[Indranil Das Gupta]

Hi,

Right now I'm not able to find out the document where I read about the
tentative date of Q1 2018. It came up during one of the post on the
PCC. activities.

What I can share right now is -
http://alcts.ala.org/ccdablog/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/PCC-2017-06.pdf

See the section "The PCC is moving forward to implement the
recommendations of the PCC ISBD and MARC Task Group, which call for
eliminating ISBD punctuation that coincides with MARC coding. As a
first step, OCLC and LC are creating test sets of records and a small
group is being formed to track the testing and analyze results."

The details of what punctuation to remove / replace is available here
- http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/documents/isbdmarc2016.pdf

cheers

Re: [Koha] Koha Data Migration and cover Image

[Indranil Das Gupta]

Chinmoy:

If you want a feature to come in into Koha the first step is to file a
bug report in the Koha bugzilla -
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/

Most features make it into Koha because some user institution
somewhere is funding the development of the feature. Development does
not happen out of thin air by developers who live and survive only on
adulation and the glory of writing Free Software. ;-)

Your requirement for punctuation and handling repeated fields are
already served by user specific XSLT mods supported by Koha since many
versions. See https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/XSLT_Library
