[Koha] Next Friday: Patch testing session to help enhancements and bug fixes to be released

[Victor Grousset/tuxayo]

Hi :)

To be forwarded to librarians, system librarians, educators, devs, 
sysadmins and other people that could be interested in contributing to Koha.

Let's meet at any moment in the following timeframe:
13h-20h UTC / 8h-15h US East / 5h-12h US West
The place is https://visio.chapril.org/koha
(the text chat can be opened with the 4th button at the bottom: ️)

Reminder of the modalities:
The idea is to test patches to contribute to Koha. The biggest 
bottleneck for having more bugs fixes and enhancements is patch testing. 
Thus this call for getting together as Koha users.

No need for particular skills, just basic Koha usage.
You can come an leave at any moment, even for a short time it's possible 
to get simple stuff moving forward.
We will use a VoIP call with chat tool to speak and eventually 
screenshare. It's possible to join without sound and only use chat. So 
if you are at the front desk and there are not much patrons you can 
still test patches ^^ So, whichever communication mode is the most 
convenient for you.


No need to have a local Koha instance. Just with a web browser we can 
use the sandboxes [1] to have temporary Kohas to test most patches and 
do whatever we want without bad consequences.

Here is a resource about how to test patches using sandboxes:

Cheers,

Re: [Koha] how to add additional attributes in patron CSV file

[Jonathan Druart]

Hello,

Read the "Notes" on the right of the import patrons screen.
"""
If loading patron attributes, the 'patron_attributes' field should
contain a comma-separated list of attribute types and values. The
attribute type code and a colon should precede each value. For
example: INSTID:12345,LANG:fr or STARTDATE:January 1 2010,TRACK:Day.
If an input record has more than one attribute, the fields should
either be entered as an unquoted string (previous examples), or with
each field wrapped in separate double quotes and delimited by a comma:
"STARTDATE:January 1, 2010","TRACK:Day". The second syntax would be
required if the data might have a comma in it, like a date string.
"""

And please send your question to only one mailing list.

Regards,
Jonathan

[Koha] Holds to pull question

[Stephen Graham]

Hi All - occasionally our "holds to pull" report shows books which are not 
available to pull. For example, there is a book on there this morning which has 
two items.  One of the items is already on the holds shelf waiting to be picked 
up, and the other item is a reference/not for loan item which is on the shelf. 
Should the book appear on the report? I've checked through the sysprefs to see 
if there is any options which might help, but cannot spot any. Is this the 
expected behaviour, or maybe a bug?

Stephen
