Next hackfest in Marseille (March 2018)
by Paul Poulain 24 Nov '17

24 Nov '17

Hello, It's time for me to decide when the next hackfest in Marseille will happen. Save this date: March 12th-16th. Hoping to see you here ! PS: BibLibre turned 10 last month. We will probably do something special during this hackfest (but haven't decided what yet) -- Paul Poulain, Associé-gérant / co-owner BibLibre, Services en logiciels libres pour les bibliothèques BibLibre, Open Source software and services for libraries

Re: [Koha-devel] REST api developments (Benjamin Rokseth)
by Benjamin Rokseth 24 Nov '17

24 Nov '17

Hi Tomas, Great to head you're committed to the REST API development! And some good steps already taken. We're heavy users of the API, and have been for some time, and have just converted our endpoints to the OpenAPI coming in 17.11. Most importantly for us would be the endpoints for patrons and circulation, (biblios, items, checkouts, holds, etc.) that we already use, but there is also one aspect we'd like to add - the auth module. The auth module should be rewritten entirely, we have already done parts of this, to stop using CGI session. (perhaps) use plack sessions instead, and API might use JSON tokens or whatever is more approproate. What are your thoughts on this? Hope we can contribute!

With recent additions and specially all enhancements surrounding bug 19410, we should be able to start writing endpoints faster and easier. The REST api is top priority for us, and making it easier to code, one of our short-term goals. Let us know the endpoints your project might benefit from, we can commit to writing those endpoints, or help you in the process. We still need to have better documentation, but we'll be looking for 'REST api' tagged bugs trying to help.

Re: [Koha-devel] [Koha-translate] Homonym string help
by Marc Véron 22 Nov '17

22 Nov '17

Hi Caroline Yes, nasty problems with homonyms exist in other languages as well, e.g. in German. We have two related Bugs: Bug 11285 - Vocabulary disambiguation https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11285 Bug 15395 - Allow correct handling of plural translation https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15395 The latter allows to add context to a string; see comment 28 on Bug 11285 by Julian Maurice: "...allows to attach context to a string, so the same string can be translated in different ways, depending on the context." A sustainable solution would be to move Bug 15395 forward. It's status is "Signed off". Marc Am 21.11.2017 um 23:00 schrieb Caroline Cyr-La-Rose: > > Hi all, > > I'm a bit stumped in my translations.

Bug 17278 - reverted for 16.05.x only - why?
by Andreas Roussos 16 Nov '17

16 Nov '17

Dear Devs, Re: Bug 17278 - Limit to available items returns 0 results We're running Koha 16.05.16 on Debian and are affected by this bug. AFAICT there were a couple of patches written for this, which were pushed to the master/16.05.x/3.22.x branches. However, the commits for 16.05.x were later reverted: http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=commit;h=aed6d17ffd3aa6d… http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=commit;h=4f761bb6904b127… I've searched the koha-bugs and koha-devel mailing lists and also peeked at the IRC logs for the #koha channel but could not find a reference as to why these commits were reverted for 16.05.x only. Does anyone recall why these changes were reverted for 16.05 only? Thanks for your time. Regards, Andreas Roussos
