Output.pm and include files
by Owen Leonard 08 Dec '03

08 Dec '03

I was deleting some include files from the directory of our custom template, and now we're getting errors about missing files. It looks like Output.pm is trying to find some of these includes, but why? What's it trying to do here: sub startmenu($) { # edit the paths in here my ($type)=shift; if ($type eq 'issue') { open (FILE,"$path/issues-top.inc") || die "could not find : $path/issues- top.inc"; } elsif ($type eq 'opac') { open (FILE,"$path/opac-top.inc") || die "could not find : $path/opac- top.inc"; } elsif ($type eq 'member') { open (FILE,"$path/members-top.inc") || die "could not find : $path/members- top.inc"; } elsif ($type eq 'acquisitions'){ open (FILE,"$path/acquisitions-top.inc") || die "could not find : $path/acquisition-top.inc"; } elsif ($type eq 'report'){ open (FILE,"$path/reports-top.inc") || die "could not find : $path/reports- top.inc"; } elsif ($type eq 'circulation') { open (FILE,"$path/circulation-top.inc") || die "could not find : $path/circulation-top.inc"; } elsif ($type eq 'admin') { open (FILE,"$path/parameters-top.inc") || die "could not find : $path/parameters-top.inc"; } else { open (FILE,"$path/cat-top.inc") || die "could not find : $path/cat- top.inc"; } my @string=<FILE>; close FILE; # my $count=@string; # $string[$count]="<BLOCKQUOTE>"; return @string; } -- Owen ---- Nelsonville Public Library Koha 2.0.0-pre-x (CVS)

hard coded stuff?
by Benedykt 08 Dec '03

08 Dec '03

Hi all, I am wondering whether this is good or not but in the directory of the includes there appeared a css file with hard coded path of .koha { text-align:center; background-image:url("/intranet-tmpl/default/en/images/background-mem.gif"); } Now if the whole idea by introducing templates was to separate the code from the design then this behavior does not stick to the rules. A person who tries to maintain a given translation needs to visually inspect every aspect of code in order not to overlook those kind of changes. An example: a file in .default/en directory changes. The modification includes a language string and a path to a perl file ON THE SAME LINE OF CODE. Not all diff software packages will show both but rather the whole line will be highlighted as having been modified. For a translator that means visual inspection of the code. Translators are NOT programmers. They may overlook a lot of such little modifications. I have voiced this over and over again that there is something wrong about the way koha chose to internationalize. Before koha-1.2.3 all the language strings where in the perl scripts. Now they are found in the template files. I wonder whether there exists a method of still going back to a flavor of GETTEXT to take care of translations? Benedict

character encodings in koha 2.0.0
by Benedykt 08 Dec '03

08 Dec '03

Hi, Is there a general, worked-out policy about character encodings so they stay consistent throughout a translation? By this I mean character encodings of the data in mysql, in template files. I know that the perl scripts generate "an obligatory" content-type headers to the template files before output is generated. . But the headers provide to browsers only the first part of the header, without encodings information in it, hence incomplete. Has any work been done on putting it in order? By the way, what does this mean: output_html_with_http_headers $query, $cookie, $template->output; Is the first part of the line a variable? thanks Benedict

Re: [Koha-devel] bugs and translations

> > should I make the same correction in the other > > language templates? > If it's supposedly the same style template (eg > "default"), can it hurt anything to make the same fix? I would think not, but I noticed, for instance, that the German translation of the default template was significantly altered from the English version, leading me to wonder if translators felt some particular 'ownership' of them. I guess if anyone is bugged by my corrections they can always change it back! -- Owen

bugs and translations
by Owen Leonard 19 Nov '03

19 Nov '03

Maybe there are some template-translators that have an opinion on this, so I'll ask the question here: if a bug is reported concerning a template file (like an error in HTML), and I'm making a correction to the english template, should I make the same correction in the other language templates? Or do translators prefer to maintain their own templates? -- Owen ---- Nelsonville Public Library Koha 2.0.0-pre-x (CVS)
