http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11346 Bug ID: 11346 Summary: Deprecate the PROG and CCSR themes Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: OPAC Assignee: oleonard@myacpl.org Reporter: liz@catalyst.net.nz QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org This is a master bug for keeping track of all of the known issues related to the upcoming deprecation of the PROG and CCSR themes for the OPAC. Bugs for things that need to be removed should be blockers for this one. As of 3.14, bootstrap is the new default theme for the OPAC, and libraries are highly encouraged to switch their theming prior to deprecation in 3.18 because of its enhanced feature set (it is responsive) and modern styling. The proposal regarding theme deprecation as accepted on 2013-11-01 is as follows: [1] We ship Bootstrap as the default theme for 3.14 for new installations. (DONE) [2] We announce deprecation of prog and CCSR when 3.14 is released and issue a recommendation that libraries start switching to Bootstrap. (DONE) [3] At the same time, we announce that prog and CCSR will be removed in 3.18. If some organization wishes to maintain either theme after then, they can do so, but as a separate contrib. However, if you are inclined to support either theme after they've been removed ... please think carefully about the amount of work that would entail. [4] The RM will assist in getting OPAC template patches in the pipeline that were written for prog updated to support Bootstrap as well. [5] Starting with the 3.16, new OPAC patches should be targeted for Bootstrap first. During the 3.16 cycle, contributors are requested to make an effort to update the prog theme as well, particularly for new features, but this is a request, not a requirement. In other words, this means that for 3.16, libraries may need to switch to Bootstrap to take full advantage of new OPAC functionality, but the prog theme will continue to be functional. [6] During the 3.18 cycle, no patches will be pushed for prog except insofar as they may be needed to fix security issues in the maintenance releases. Before 3.18 is released, prog and CCSR will be taken out entirely. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
