Accessibility

Other bugs fixed

  Sponsored by Athens County Public Libraries

Acquisitions

Critical bugs fixed

• 42723 Purchase suggestion 500 page error when EmailPurchaseSuggestions is set to "email address of library"

  This fixes a 500 page error[1] when creating a suggestion in the staff interface if: - the EmailPurchaseSuggestions system preference is set to "email address of library", and - the library for acquisition information is set to "Any".

  [1] Can't call method "inbound_email_address" on an undefined value at /kohadevbox/koha/Koha/Suggestion.pm line 107

Other bugs fixed

• 41998 Some templates in suggestion.pl are computed even through a redirection
• 42710 Purchase suggestion creation form (staff interface) no longer defaults to logged-in library

  This fixes entering suggestions using the staff interface. When making a suggestion the default library selected was "Any". The default library is now the current library you are logged in as.

• 42740 Suggestion status is not kept when editing a suggestion
• 42750 Purchase suggestions made from members/purchase-suggestions.pl no longer redirect back This fixes the redirect when making a suggestion for a patron (Patrons > [Selected patron] > Purchase suggestions).

  After creating a suggestion, the staff patron is now redirected back to the patron's purchase suggestion page. Previously, they stayed on the list of suggestions on the suggestion management page in acquisitions.

  (This fixes an error introduced by Bug 39721 - Remove GetSuggestion from C4/Suggestions.pm, added to Koha 26.05 and 25.11.)

Cataloging

Other bugs fixed

• 42701 Ability to click anywhere in item row for edit and delete options is missing

• 42454 Terminology: Use "and" instead of "&" for curbside pickups "Staged & ready (0)" tab

  This fixes the "Staged & ready (0)" tab for curbside pickups (Circulation > Holds and bookings > Curbside pickup) so that it uses "and" instead of "&" in the table title, as per the terminology guidelines (when CurbsidePickup is enabled).

ERM

Other bugs fixed

• 42130 Holdings created in ERM with a linked bibliographic record does not index the record

  This fixes indexing of records, so that when a new title is added in the ERM module (ERM > eHoldings > Local > Titles) and 'Create bibliographic record' is selected, the new record can be found when searching.

Mana-kb

Other bugs fixed

• 42194 Sharing a report to Mana does not give feedback

OPAC

Critical bugs fixed

• 42555 (Bug 25314 follow-up) ID incorrectly used for facet label for customized facets in the OPAC

  This fixes the labels for facets in the OPAC. Customized facets generated from mappings.yaml were displayed with the technical type_id instead of the proper label.

  For example, for a facet defined as "su-gen" with a label of "Genre/Form", "su-gen" was used as the label instead of "Genre/Form".

  (This is related to Bug 25314 - Make OPAC facets collapse, added to Koha 26.05.00,25.11.04.)

Other bugs fixed

• 42193 The "Suspend hold" modal in the OPAC sometimes tries to resume hold
