It’s the reason Koha uses CGI instead of Plack for export.pl <http://export.pl> <br><br> <br><br>While we can use Mojolicious controllers with Koha plugins when it adds REST API endpoints, we can’t do that for Koha plugins themselves. <br><br> <br><br>This is a topic that I’ve touched on before, and there are challenges when it comes to Authentication and Templates, but they’re solvable challenges:<br><br>https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26791 “Build Mojolicious controller replacement for export.pl <http://export.pl> ”<br><br>https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28325 “Build Mojolicious controller replacement for tools-home.pl <http://tools-home.pl> ”<br><br> <br><br>We could just start by supporting “tool” and “report” with the Mojolicious controllers, and that would just mean plugins-home.pl <http://plugins-home.pl> detecting that there is Mojolicious support in that plugin, and then building a URL to “/staff/plugins/run” instead of “/cgi-bin/koha/plugins/run.pl <http://run.pl> ” for instance.<br><br> <br><br>That Mojolicious controller would really just need to check authentication/authorization, which is very doable with a fairly minor refactor. <br><br> <br><br>If I could get the support of just a couple other people, I’d be happy to do a lot of the authoring (or testing or whatever needs to be done just to get it done).<br><br> <br><br>By using Mojolicious controllers for select plugins, we’d also be able to shake out any issues without causing any regressions in core Koha, and then hopefully be able to start refactoring core Koha too…<br><br> <br><br>Anyways, please give it some consideration, and ask me if you have any questions. <br><br> <br><br>I’ll be looking more into export problems tomorrow, so I might end up going a different route for the sake of time in the short-term, but I think we should still be looking at shifting away from CGI and Plack::App::CGIBin due to their limitations…<br><br> <br><br>David Cook<br><br>Senior Software Engineer<br><br>Prosentient Systems<br><br>Suite 7.03<br><br>6a Glen St<br><br>Milsons Point NSW 2061<br><br>Australia<br><br> <br><br>Office: 02 9212 0899<br><br>Online: 02 8005 0595<br><br> <br><br><br><br>-- <br><br>Kyle M.
