Google showing "Borrow" option for nearby public libraries
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 19 Apr '22

19 Apr '22

Hi all, I was looking up a book the other day on Google when I noticed a section called "Borrow" and it showed two local library services where I could borrow the book. I did a bit more Googling today and noticed this: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/structured-data/book It looks like individual libraries would need to register their interest first, but after that the system would need to serve a feed file that Google would regularly harvest. Does anyone have a Koha library where they're currently doing this? It could make for an interesting Koha plugin.

Release maintenance: Monthly string freeze: shall it be announced also on koha-devel and the general list?
by Victor Grousset/tuxayo 18 Apr '22

Hi :) The idea is to push the librarians, admins, and devs to check the translations out if they remember something off. To try to reach out instead of relying on those already interested in translation and subscribed to koha-translate. Currently not all release maintainers announce the string freeze in the same place resulting in confusion. Cheers, -- Victor Grousset/tuxayo

Vote on Vue3 (for ERM) at the next dev meeting
by Jonathan Druart 11 Apr '22

11 Apr '22

Hi devs, Could we vote at the next dev meeting that the ERM module will be written in Vue3 and that it will not be a problem for its integration into Koha? This module will contain a lot of CRUD operations and simple forms. And so all the necessary REST API routes will be provided from the beginning. I thought it would be a good candidate to introduce a new and modern solution to Koha. Using it in an isolated module will allow us to try it, find the different problems we can face, fix them, and not force other developers to be onboard if they don't want to. There is already a POC of this module using Vue3, with the different REST API routes, and UI testing using Cypress (see link below). Other solutions are: * Use another JS framework (but in that case you will show us on the "cities" view a simple implementation case) * Use the old/traditional way Links related to ERM and Vue3: * Electronic Resource Management for Koha https://lists.katipo.co.nz/pipermail/koha/2022-February/057447.html * Sandbox - https://staff-erm.sandboxes.biblibre.eu/cgi-bin/koha/erm/agreements.pl * Git remote branch - https://gitlab.com/joubu/Koha/-/commits/erm * Cities rewrites ** Bug 30160 - Rewrite cities admin view in React ** Bug 30225 - Rewrite cities admin view in Vue ** "I played with React" https://lists.koha-community.org/pipermail/koha-devel/2022-February/046926.… * "I played with Cypress (and ERM and Vue)" https://lists.koha-community.org/pipermail/koha-devel/2022-March/046956.html Cheers, Jonathan

Need help to test a patch that will simplify translations
by Victor Grousset/tuxayo 02 Apr '22

02 Apr '22

Hi, After a few iterations of testing and fixes, bug 29602 looks about ready. It mostly needs someone else to signoff by testing that pages are not broken. Here is a ticket with a link to the comment listing most of the impacted pages: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=29602#c50 Rereading the last follow-up patches would also help. Let me know if I can be of any help. Cheers, -- Victor Grousset/tuxayo
