Is Nicole still the documentation manager? The 16.11 release notes say so but I thought Chris C had a role there now? Is this section of the manual still current? http://manual.koha-community.org/16.11/en/contributing.html <mailto:koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org> I have a change to send but need a little guidance. Thanks, Bob

Baptiste, Do not forget to answer to the list :) I do not think that would bring a big improvement, what code do you want to simplify?

Function for multivaluated syspref
by Baptiste Wojtkowski 07 Mar '17

Hi, Is there any function to check if a value is checked in a multivaluated syspref ? I don't see any and the few multivaluated function I saw seem using long template line code to do this simple thing. Could this be a good idea to write one ? Baptiste

Hi from Oslo, and C4::Auth
by Francesco Rivetti 06 Mar '17

06 Mar '17

Hi, I believe most of you met me on IRC as "oha", for the others I'm a software developer working at Deichman library here in Oslo: Nice to meet you all! In the last week, I had a look at C4::Auth, and how the whole authentication, authorization and session management works. I came up with a little prototype which replace most of C4::Auth, CGI and Session with something I believe simpler and easier to extend. right now, it doesn't support anything but simple authentication. But most of the work done to integrate with CAS or Shib should be easily refactored in (I don't have a test environment for that, and I know too little to help much) To simplify the transition, I'm developing it without changing anything on the common koha code. IOW if you run it via apache it will behave like it was in the past, but if you are in plack and want to check it out, you just have to enable the new Koha::Middleware::Session and the new system will just "magically" replace the old one. Hopefully the transition won't be long and we can then refactor the rest of the code and drop the magic-ness. the code is now divided in 2 parts: there is an abstract Koha::Session with implementations for memcache, mysql and memory only (the last one is not really useful when forking) there is also a Koha::Auth which support modules for different auth systems, right now only simple authentication is supported. Koha::Auth also provide templating (this should be refactored again later, probably, but... baby steps for now) and it works more like an Auth Environment for every users. on my test box it seems to be working fine, but I'm positive I have missed few bits here and there. I will definitely need some feedback and help to finish the design for different auth modules, so if you are currently using one and you are willing to help, please let me know. more in general, would be nice to know what do you think about it, you can find a WIP branch here: https://github.com/digibib/Koha/tree/auth_session_refactor TIA Francesco
