Previewing editor content in "News"
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 12 Aug '21

12 Aug '21

Hi all, Lately, I've been thinking that it would be great if we could preview content from WYSIWYG editors in context before saving and showing it live. Content Management Systems and Wikis usually let you do that, and I think it would be really useful. I know that I've had at least a few librarians complain about how their News content looks different in the OPAC than it does in the News function, and I don't really have an answer except "sorry" at the moment. This would actually be useful for OpacUserCSS and OpacUserJS as well. Looking at Media Wiki, it looks like it uses a "wpEditToken" value, so the data must be saved, and then fetched using the token. I think it would be harder for Koha than Media Wiki (especially for system preferences and News for specific libraries), but I think it would be useful. Unfortunately, I don't have the resources to work on this, but maybe someone else does.

Replacing jQueryUI autocomplete
by Owen Leonard 12 Aug '21

12 Aug '21

We're making progress towards a replacement for the jQueryUI datepicker component: Bug 28376, "Replace obsolete jquery-ui-timepicker-addon" https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28376 I think it would be a good idea to look at replacing the rest of the jQueryUI components we use, since jQueryUI appears to be a dead project. I've been looking at this as a replacement for jQueryUI's autocomplete: https://tarekraafat.github.io/autoComplete.js/ It's small, seems fast, and has been around for several years, with its last release happening last month. I'm still testing whether it's missing any functionality we need, but I thought before I get too far I would ask: Does anyone have any experience with this project? Does anyone have any other autocomplete libraries they've used and would recommend? Thanks, Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries (740) 737-6006 https://www.myacpl.org

Zebra Trivia
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 11 Aug '21

11 Aug '21

Hi all, Today I learned (or maybe re-learned) something about Zebra CCL syntax: "Identifier-standard,phr" does not do a phrase search. It does a word list search. Now you might this this is impossible, but it's not, because Identifier-standard is hard-coded with 4=6 in ccl.properties: Identifier-standard 1=1007 4=6 Since Identifier-standard has already set the "4" structure attribute, "phr" does nothing. However, if you write "phr,Identifier-standard", it will do a phrase search. That's because the "phr" sets the "4" structure attribute before the "Identifier-standard" gets converted into PQF/RPN. Cool, n'est-ce pas? David Cook Senior Software Engineer Prosentient Systems Suite 7.03 6a Glen St Milsons Point NSW 2061 Australia Office: 02 9212 0899 Online: 02 8005 0595

Check of syspref editor with DB columns
by Fridolin SOMERS 11 Aug '21

11 Aug '21

Hi, Since 22844, preferences like BorrowerUnwantedField and BorrowerMandatoryField show a modal selection of DB columns. This relies on /koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/admin/preferences/borrowers.json Unwanted fields are hidden in template using : [% UNLESS nofield %] Mandatory fields have attribute require in template using : [% IF mandatoryfield %] Big problem is how do we maintain this ??? For example I see in template memberentrygen.tt : [% UNLESS noautorenew_checkouts %] But this column is not in borrowers.json :( I'm made some checks : grep '% UNLESS no' koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/members/memberentrygen.tt | awk -F 'UNLESS ' '{print $2}' | tr -d '%]' | sort -u egrep 'mandatory\w' koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/members/memberentrygen.tt | awk -F 'mandatory' '{print $2}' | tr -d ' %])' | sort -u Plus some manual work. My conclusion : Are missing from borrowers.json (used by nofield and/or mandatoryfield) : - autorenew_checkouts - relationship - sms_provider_id - sort1 - sort2 Are useless in borrowers.json : - categorycode : obviously mandatory ? - smsalertnumber : in form the field is now SMSnumber, but no noSMSnumber/mandarorySMSnumber in template I will create a bug report for autorenew_checkouts first. Maybe we could add something in QA tools ? Best regards, PS : Also not very clear, BorrowerMandatoryField shows all fields but in template there is only : mandatoryborrowernotes mandatorycardnumber mandatorycontactfirstname mandatorycontactname mandatorydateenrolled mandatorydateexpiry mandatorydateofbirth mandatoryemail mandatoryemailpro mandatoryfax mandatoryfirstname mandatoryinitials mandatorymobile mandatoryopacnote mandatoryothernames mandatorypassword mandatoryphone mandatoryphonepro mandatoryprimary_contact_method mandatorysort1 mandatorysort2 mandatorysurname mandatorytitle mandatoryuserid mandatorypassword We should add other fields in exclusions ? -- Fridolin SOMERS <fridolin.somers(a)biblibre.com> Software and system maintainer 🦄 BibLibre, France

Advanced Editor for Authority Records
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 04 Aug '21

04 Aug '21

Hi all, Does anyone know why the Advanced Editor in cataloguing is only for bibliographic records and not for authority records as well? Does anyone know if there is work to add an Advanced Editor for the authority records too? Thanks, David Cook Senior Software Engineer Prosentient Systems Suite 7.03 6a Glen St Milsons Point NSW 2061 Australia Office: 02 9212 0899 Online: 02 8005 0595
