Helper/Static methods for objects
by Nick Clemens 19 Jul '21

19 Jul '21

Hi All, On two different bugs we have run into similar issues where a method was needed that didn't use the object directly. On bug 28709 I proposed checking the ref of $self to see if this was called via the object - David Cook proposed adding a second method that is always called directly and calling that from the object method On bug 20817 Kyle proposed a Koha::Util::Acquisition class and we could utilize that for other object as well, e.g. Koha::Util::Biblio, Koha::Util::Item I put this on the agenda for the next dev meeting, I am sending it out here to get opinions and encourage attendance at that meeting to vote on a path forward. -Nick -- Nick Clemens ByWater Solutions bywatersolutions.com Phone: (888) 900-8944 Pronouns: (he/him/his) Timezone: Eastern Follow us: <https://www.facebook.com/ByWaterSolutions/> <https://www.instagram.com/bywatersolutions/> <https://www.youtube.com/user/bywatersolutions> <https://twitter.com/ByWaterSolution>

German language (de-DE) no more shown after update to Koha 21.05.01
by Michael Kuhn 16 Jul '21

16 Jul '21

Hi We were on Debian GNU/Linux 9 with Koha 19.11.00, our configured language was german (de-DE). Today we updated first to Debian GNU/Linux 10, then to Koha 21.05.01. At the end of the update it said: Upgrade to 21.05.01.003 done [19:19:38]: Koha 21.05.01 release Error: the selected language is already installed. Try --update if you want to re-install it. ERROR: an error was found when updating 'de-DE' translations. Please manually run 'koha-translate --update de-DE'. Run man koha-translate for more options. Now our language German (de-DE) is gone, instead only English (en) is there. The Koha system preferences "language" und "OPACLanguages" just show "English" but these checkboxes are not even checked. German is not there anymore. I tried to run "koha-translate" with various options but it didn't help: # koha-translate --list de-DE # koha-translate --update de-DE Error: the selected language is already installed. Try --update if you want to re-install it. # koha-translate --remove de-DE # koha-translate --list de-DE # koha-translate --install de-DE Error: the selected language is already installed. Try --update if you want to re-install it. When trying to use option "--dev" the program tries to access a non-existing directory called "koha-tmpl". # koha-translate --list de-DE --dev ndz ls: cannot access '/usr/share/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/': No such file or directory How can we regain the German language?

Time to translate: string freeze to prepare Koha 20.05.14 has begun
by Victor Grousset/tuxayo 16 Jul '21

16 Jul '21

Hi, saluton, hola, bonjour, String freeze is into effect as of now for the 20.05.x maintenance branch. The minor release is scheduled for around the 23th. This means it's the right time to head over to the translation platform: https://translate.koha-community.org/projects/ Reminder: if you add or change a translation in version 20.05, then you must also copy it to 20.11 and 21.05. Otherwise your work will be lost for future versions. (We've had a recent significant case of that!) Happy translating, -- Victor Grousset/tuxayo

Tiny bug in QohA/File/Template.pm for template dir (OPAC) sub check_valid_template $template_dir = File::Spec->rel2abs("koha-tmpl/$interface/prog/en/modules"); This is wrong, but the variable is no longer used. Can be removed.
