Move list related code to Koha::Virtualshelves (Dbix::Class inside)
by Jonathan Druart 18 Aug '15

18 Aug '15

Hello developers, For much of the last 2 days, I have tried to get rid of C4::VirtualShelves::Page, which is, in my opinion, the worst module of Koha [1] I am a bit frustrated because I will be afk for the next 2 weeks and I have not finished what I intended to do. I am still far of removing this module, but I prepared the ground: I have added the package Koha::Virtualshelf, Koha::Virtualshelves, Koha::Virtualshelfshare[s] and Koha::Virtualshelfcontent[s] to take advantage of Dbix::Class. I have also introduced a Koha::Exceptions module to throw exceptions when needed. Of course I have added tests to cover the changes. I did not test widely the interface, so there are certainly some bugs. But for what I tested, it works like as before. It would be interesting to do some benchmarks also. I really would like to get feedbacks on these patches. For those interested in following the evolution of the code and want to share their idea, have a look :) Compare both code (before and after), you will understand why we really need to move/rewrite our code :) I won't be far from my mailbox, don't hesitate to ask [relevant] questions and comment the patch set. Be care, the last patch is a wip ("release early, release often"), don't apply it if you want to test. You will certainly need to update the Dbix::Class schema files. The next steps are: Get rid of GetShelves, GetShelfContents and the other subroutines of C4::Virtualshelves. Then introduce a normal structure to the perl script (shelves.pl and opac-shelves.pl). Finally remove C4::VirtualShelves::Page. Cheers, Jonathan [1] Actually it's not true, there are C4::Context, C4::Auth and C4::Search before :)

Re: [Koha-devel] Global Bug Squashing Day - September 3 2015!
by BOUIS Sonia 17 Aug '15

Hi, At Lyon 3 University, we sometimes organize Testing Days with other French Librarians. I think that it could be interesting to associate this event to a GBSD. Unfortunately, September 3d is in the middle of the start of the new university year and it will be difficult to plan a testing day at this moment. But for the next GBSD, I could try to make coordinate both. At least, for September 3d, I propose to communicate about it via the Koha french association to promote the GBSD. I have a simple tutorial in French about the use of sandbox and signing a patch : I can try to translate it (and it can be improve !) but there's already a wiki page : http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Sandboxes I hope it can help to make GBSD more successful !

Message-ID: <55CA6114.2010502(a)web.de> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 Hi all, we have a Global Bug Squashing Days (GBSD) planned for September 3 2015! During the July General IRC meeting [1] we talked about the Global Bug Squashing Days (GBSD) in general and about how to make them more successful. One of the ideas discussed was to have some events during the day - tutorials, questions & answers, developers talking about new stuff they are working on etc. So now we are looking for: Ideas! - What would you get interested in participating? - What would help you to get started with testing? - Do you want to know how to file a bug? - Sign off a patch? - How to use a sandbox? - How to set up a Koha testing environment`on your own computer? ... Volunteers! - Would you be able to run a tutorial on that day? - Do you want to present some of your new developments? - Will you be there to answer questions during a specific time slot? ... Please let us know and/or add your ideas to the wiki page [2]!

String freeze for Koha 3.20.3
by Chris Cormack 16 Aug '15

16 Aug '15

Hi All It's that time again, I will be pushing no more patches that change templates (unless they are urgent) until after the release on the 22nd. So as soon as Bernardo has had time to update the po files, I'm sure he will let you know and you can bring the 3.20.x translations up to date Thanks Chris

Update on Plack support for the packages
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 14 Aug '15

14 Aug '15

Hi fellows, Some people have vacation right now, but those who stay here won't miss the fun :-D I have just attached to bug 13791 my work on integrating Plack into the packages setup / maintenance/management scripts. I created a koha-plack script which is self explained if run with --help or (if you build the packages out of master+patchset) man koha-plack. It basically uses starman and start-stop-daemon to handle running plack instances for each Koha instance. For simplicity (we talked about this in Marseille) I've decided to take full advantage of Apache 2.4.7+ features and the results are quite interesting in terms of setup complexity (compared to current approaches). Starman is run so it listens on a UNIX Domain Socket (on the filesystem, on a deterministic location, /var/run/koha/<instance>/plack.sock) and Apache just uses ProxyPass with UDS. I also make use of variable declaration capabilities in Apache. Please take a gentle look, comment on this thread on things that could be improved, and have the ball rolling so we have out-of-the-box plack setup ready for 3.22 in November \o/ TODO: - Revisit the reverse proxy configuration - Haven't really tested packagin this yet Kind regards -- Tomás Cohen Arazi Theke Solutions (http://theke.io) ✆ +54 9351 3513384 GPG: B76C 6E7C 2D80 551A C765 E225 0A27 2EA1 B2F3 C15F

No error response with wrong set on OAI-PMH
by Pablo Bianchi 07 Aug '15

07 Aug '15

Hi! I notice that other implementations of OAI-PMH servers give an error when setSpec specified doesn't exist. For example: + set=foo on Koha ( <http://catalog.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/oai.pl?verb=ListRecords&fr…> ByWaters <http://catalog.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/oai.pl?verb=ListRecords&fr…> ) <http://catalog.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/oai.pl?verb=ListRecords&fr…> : List records anyway + set=foo on a Greenstone v2.82 <http://digital.bl.fcen.uba.ar/gsdl-282/cgi-bin/oaiserver.cgi?verb=ListRecor…> : Return an error. This behavior is expected? I shuld fill a bug? Cheers, Pablo PS: BTW, with the use of <?xml-stylesheet tag > that response is much nicer than Koha one!

Hi all, common/patron_search.tt that provides patron search and selection template does not seem to have an option for "select all" / "uncheck all" option, that used to be a part of the previous templates. This impacts for instance at http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14123 Is there any specific design decision behind this? thanks in advance -- Indranil Das Gupta Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://indradg.randomink.org/blog IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.
