Having the renewal blocked makes sense though. 12:31 oleonard tuxayo: It was a workaround for the fact that checking something in from the checkouts table did not trigger the hold confirmation dialog 12:34 tuxayo Ah yes, that might pull there some quantity of logic to and it might be tedious to avoid duplication with the check in page. Especially when handling being able to tick multiple item for check in. 12:35 tuxayo would be 💥 prone 13:20 chimster[m] Hi, is there a way to categorize books into groups through their author's last name initials? A-Z like there is a way to browse the patron names alphabetically? 13:22 cait Koha is not that big about alphabetic registers 13:22 cait aside from the patrons one 13:22 cait you can try the scan checkbox on advanced search with an author search, but it's not quite what you are lookinf for I think 13:24 chimster[m] ah well :/ 13:24 chimster[m] I wanted to add this feature to my OPAC 13:25 cait there is a browse search if you are using Elasticsearch 13:25 cait for the OPAC 13:25 chimster[m] I found some depreacted functionality called OPAC-browser 13:25 cait it#s nice 13:25 cait let me find the pref for you, then you can see in the manual 13:25 chimster[m] I am using zebra 13:25 cait OpacBrowseSearch 13:26 cait https://koha-community.org/manual/latest/en/html/searching.html#browse-search-label 13:28 chimster[m] Hmm I will try this out 13:28 chimster[m] thanks again 13:28 chimster[m] but if I am using zebra 13:28 chimster[m] what should be my approach 13:28 chimster[m] I am using multilingual search with zebra 13:28 chimster[m] I think if I switch to elasticsearch the site will break right? 13:29 chimster[m] as in the search might not work correctly with regional languages 13:29 chimster[m] like it wasn't when I didn't configure in zebra 13:32 chimster[m] https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Opac_browse_feature 13:32 chimster[m] any thoughts on this? 13:46 paulderscheid[m] Quick question, what does debarred really mean in koha? What restrictions apply? 13:48 cait hm depends 13:48 cait are yo looking at the is_debarred one? 13:48 cait it could be the flags from borrowers (gonenoaddress, lost) and the borrower_restrictions 14:01 chimster[m] how do I reindex using elasticsearch? 14:03 chimster[m] koha-rebuild-zebra? 14:12 paulderscheid[m] hi cait, yeah kinda. How granular are those restrictions? Are there some restrictions that only apply for certain actions or is just everything blocked if you are 'debarred'. 14:12 paulderscheid[m] ? 14:12 paulderscheid[m] chimster https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Elasticsearch 14:13 paulderscheid[m] Sorry for the slow response cait 14:13 cait paulderscheid[m]: at the moment not very granular 14:13 paulderscheid[m] Was just in the middle of something 14:13 cait look at the new patron restriction type table maybe 14:13 cait the goal was to make it more granular :) 14:14 paulderscheid[m] Is that already in 22.11? 14:15 paulderscheid[m] Ah yeah, it already exists in 22.11 14:15 paulderscheid[m] The question is whether its actually used as well :D 14:16 cait it's only a type for the borrower_restrictions 14:16 cait the behavior is not really linked to it yet (maybe in 23.11) 14:16 cait the idea was that you could configure what it blocks, circulatuions, renewals, etc. 14:18 paulderscheid[m] That's cool. 14:18 paulderscheid[m] Yeah, not that many references yet. 14:24 cait sorry, easily distracted today 14:33 chimster[m] <paulderscheid[m]> "chimster https://wiki.koha-..." <- thanks I installed 8.x 14:36 chimster[m] getting an error of no nodes available when running indexing 14:41 paulderscheid[m] Is elasticsearch running? 14:42 paulderscheid[m] pgrep -fl "elasticsearch" 14:44 chimster[m] it is 14:44 chimster[m] i also restarted it 14:50 paulderscheid[m] What do you get when you request? 14:50 paulderscheid[m] curl http://localhost:9200 on the server? 14:56 chimster[m] empty reply from server 14:58 chimster[m] https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/important-settings.html#network.host 14:58 chimster[m] probably this? 15:28 fridolin see u 16:04 cait anyone ever had suddenly broken Zebra index files? 16:04 cait a full reindex last week went iwthout issues, we checked that it was complete (all records indexed) 16:04 cait now onl the last saved record gets indexed 16:12 cait it's multiple instances suddenly showing the problem 17:02 cait it looks like a reindex fixed it 17:14 reiveune bye 17:27 JasonGreene[m] We imported about 200 patrons from out old system to our new Koha, None of them currently have a card #..... is there a "batch card" maker that will let us give all missing "card numbers" to all Patrons? 17:30 caroline JasonGreene[m], not that I know of... What I usually do is export the patron information in CSV, use LibreOffice Calc to fill out a new column with the cardnumber, and import this CSV into the batch patron import tool 17:30 caroline I think I wrote down the process somewhere, let me check 17:32 caroline It's in French, but I'm sure Google or some other tool can help translate it https://inlibro.com/knowledge-base/changer-en-lot-les-identifiants-et-mots-de-passe-des-usagers/ 17:32 JasonGreene[m] caroline ok, Will that "over write" the existing patrons or create new ones next the existing ones 17:32 caroline This is for userid and password, but it would be the same principle for the cardnumber 17:33 caroline If you export the borrowernumber, it should overwrite the existing ones 17:33 JasonGreene[m] ok, thanks I'll take a look at it 17:34 caroline oh wait, I see the matching is either done on cardnumber or userid only 17:34 caroline I thought for sure the borrowernumber was there, but it seems not 17:42 JasonGreene[m] I just read that ......
