https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=22318 Bug ID: 22318 Summary: Extend Koha news feature to include other content areas Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Tools Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: oleonard@myacpl.org QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org Target Milestone: --- There are many content areas in Koha where we currently use a single system preference to define a block of HTML which is embedded in the OPAC or Staff Client. Using system preferences for this requires that we either use only one language for the content or we use a convoluted system of CSS hiding/showing based on language. We already have a system in place for handling this better: The Koha news feature. We could add additional "display locations" for the various system preferences which could be migrated here: OpacNavRight, opacheader, OpacMainUserBlock, OPACMySummaryNote, OpacNav, OpacNavBottom, etc. This would allow libraries to define both language-specific and library-specific content for these areas of the interface. Being able to define start and end dates for content display would be really useful too. I imagine it would be inefficient to add multiple lines to, for instance, opac-main.pl for each "location," like so: my $OpacNavRight = GetNewsToDisplay( "OpacNavRight_".$news_lang, $homebranch ); Perhaps a template plugin and a block like this? [% PROCESS koha_news news => GetKohaNews( location => news_lang, library => homebranch ) %] I'd love to hear what y'all think. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
