How to make self-referential URLs in Koha
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 30 Jan '23

30 Jan '23

Hi all, With some recent code, I've been using creating self-referential URL in Koha using CGI->url(), and passing it as a value. With CGI, the URL is correct (ie starting with /cgi-bin/koha). With Plack, it's not, because the OPAC is mounted as "/opac". I worked around this by rewriting the self-referential URL in my code, but I was wondering if anyone else had any thoughts on this. I've noticed there are a few places in Koha where we use CGI->url() and I'm guessing we may have unexpected bugs in Plack-enabled Koha as a result. Of course, one workaround would be to have /opac and /intranet aliases or URL rewriting in Apache, so that the self-referential URLs created by Plack still end up resolving. I wonder if that's the easiest path forward. In the past, I have wondered if we could get rid of "/cgi-bin/koha" as a path prefix all together (especially as cgi-bin scares security tools), but it's so deeply embedded in Koha at this point that it seems a huge task to replace it. Anyway, just throwing that out there. David Cook Systems Librarian Prosentient Systems 72/330 Wattle St Ultimo, NSW 2007 Australia Office: 02 9212 0899 Online: 02 8005 0595

Embed see-from headings (authorities) into bibliographic records at OAI repository level
by Julien Sicot 26 Jun '22

26 Jun '22

Hi all, An enhancement idea : It could be interesting to enrich the bibliographic records exposed in OAI with see-from headings, this would allow users who use koha with a discovery tool to be able to manage, normalize and index some authorities data ? This is something that could be done directly in C4::Biblio::GetMarcBiblio following the same method used for embedding items. We could use an optional parameter like embed_items (embed_seefromheading) and a function similar to C4::Biblio::EmbedItemsInMarcBiblio by reusing what was made for zebra with EmbedSeeFromHeadings (bug #7417 <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7417>). What do you think about this? Thanks for feedback, Best -- Julien Sicot Systems Librarian Université Rennes 2 02 22 51 44 41

With that in mind, are there any area's anyone would like us to focus on in particular, any how-to guides you would be keen to see? Let us know and I'll try and find the appropriate person to write something up.

Replacement of mailman (mailing lists)
by Jonathan Druart 02 Nov '21

02 Nov '21

Hi devs, Should we keep the historical mailing list or move to something modern, like discourse or flarum? Is it something: - we really want/need - we don't want/need - neat we could have Currently the lists are not maintained (messages are not reviewed/no moderation), the mailman version is old, looks like there are a lot of email bounding, etc. Asking for koha-devel first. Cheers, Jonathan

Hi all, Does it ever drive you crazy that you can't see what Zebra has indexed when using ICU (whereas you can with CHR)? I raised an issue via Github, and it looks like Adam has fixed the issue in Zebra 2.2.3 (released yesterday). https://github.com/indexdata/idzebra/commit/6fb12448757a6429b2af400b97956f8a 1130969b https://software.indexdata.com/zebra/doc/NEWS The squeaky wheel gets the oil!
