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

Koha 22.05.04: Can't locate Koha/Script.pm in @INC

Hi I am running a fresh installation of Koha 22.05.04 on Debian 11. I am trying to load some data using "bulkmarcimport.pl": # export KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/sites/library/koha-conf.xml # /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl -b -m marcxml -framework=ABC -file TITEL.marcxml -v 2 Can't locate Koha/Script.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Koha::Script module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.32.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.32.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.32 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.32 /usr/share/perl/5.32 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl line 13.

Aug 07:51 /usr/share/koha/lib/Koha/Script.pm How can I get script "bulkmarcimport.pl" to actually run? Best wishes: Michael -- Geschäftsführer · Diplombibliothekar BBS, Informatiker eidg.

XSLT functions
by David Cook 31 Oct '22

31 Oct '22

Hi all, I've probably already shared this, but I thought that I'd share it again anyways. Here's a neat way you can create functions in your Koha XSLTs: <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:marc="http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:common="http://exslt.org/common" xmlns:str="http://exslt.org/strings" xmlns:func="http://exslt.org/functions" xmlns:my="http://prosentient.com.au/xsltfunctions" extension-element-prefixes="func" exclude-result-prefixes="marc str my common"> <func:function name = "my:strToLower"> <xsl:param name="string" /> <xsl:variable name="lowercase" select="'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'" /> <xsl:variable name="uppercase" select="'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'" /> <xsl:variable name="translated" select="translate($string, $uppercase, $lowercase)" /> <func:result select="$translated"/> </func:function> Most of the time you can probably just use templates with call-template and a parameter, but I find functions can just be really handy.

OAI-PMH harvester
by BOUIS Sonia 27 Oct '22

27 Oct '22

Hi, KohaLA would like to finance an OAI-PMH client in Koha but, we have questions that we want to raise to the community. There was already tries to propose an OAI-PMH client : - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10662 : it's an old project that doesnt seem compatible with the current version of Koha - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25905 : the scope is more to use an external OAI-PMH client and to connect it to Koha Our main question is about the way to handle this. Do you think that it's a better idea to use an external software or PERL routine and to find a way to connect it to Koha. Or would it be better to a new module in Koha from scratch and that Koha have his own OAI-PMH client. Please, let us hear your toughts about this projet.
