Template::Toolkit WRAPPER to reduce template boilerplate
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 14 Mar '22

14 Mar '22

Hi all, I've opened up an issue to use Template::Toolkit's WRAPPER directive to reduce template boilerplate: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30289 I've been using it for 7 years on a non-Koha project and it's very handy. And I whipped out a draft wrapper today and attached it to Bugzilla, because I was working on some custom OPAC pages and I was just getting tired of trying to figure out what a generic Koha page should look like in terms of HTML, CSS, JS, includes, etc. By using 1 wrapper, I can just do it once, and not worry about it. I can just focus on the actual content for all my particular page-specific templates. Anyway, have a look and let me know what you think. For a first step, we wouldn't even have to replace every OPAC page. We could just start with opac-main.tt and then refactor as we go along.

Hello
by Ms. Naveen Ali 10 Mar '22

10 Mar '22

Hello, This is Naveen from Pakistan. I work at a Public Sector Higher Education University and am trying to implement KOHA. We have been using in house developed LIS. However it needed upgrade and KOHA seems a good next step as many of our requirements have been implemented and tested. I am currently analyzing what policy and functional changes are required for koha implementation. I have found out so far that majority of functions are adaptable. However need some minor customization and am looking into plug ins which I believe are the way to go. With thanks and best regards, Naveen.

Increasing Debian package compatibility level
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 09 Mar '22

09 Mar '22

Hi Mason and folks, Occasionally, I notice this warning when building Koha Debian packages: dh_install: Compatibility levels before 9 are deprecated (level 7 in use) I was thinking we should increase the compatibility level. It would need some testing but I don't think we do anything too wild. On a different project, I'm switching from RPMs to DEBs and I'm going with level 12 or something using a fairly similar methodology to Koha for most of my Debian files. Anyway, just a thought.

Sure, here is our PSGI file. We follow the one for package to sometimes adapt.

Hi, We at Biblibre are using the dev install to run from git sources (in /home/koha/src). We have a SystemD unit for plack/starman. You can adapt it. Then edit your Apache configuration to use Starman as backend.

Hackfest in Marseille (& COVID in France good news)
by Paul Poulain 03 Mar '22

03 Mar '22

Hello everyone, The hackfest in Marseille is in a couple of weeks, and I'm very happy to confirm that it will take place as expected. If you're still hesitating, here are some (good) news from France: our prime minister announced 2 hours ago that the situation is going so much better that wearing a mask won't be needed anywhere except in public transportation, starting March 14th. It also means we'll have no mask in our office. We also have a "vaccine pass" that will be suspended (so not needed anymore) the same day. That's a great news ! An even better news would be to have you with us !!! So, drop me an email if you want to come. -- Paul Poulain, Associé-gérant / co-owner BibLibre, Services en logiciels libres pour les bibliothèques BibLibre, Open Source software and services for libraries

DBIC join patron and category
by Fridolin SOMERS 02 Mar '22

02 Mar '22

Hi, Working on Bug 26311 I noticed my BDIC join for patrons search was wrong. I changed with a prefetch. I think i found this in existing code : https://git.koha-community.org/Koha-community/Koha/src/commit/8fd2083295af0… Is this correct ? Should be just : { join => 'categorycode' } Like we see in : https://git.koha-community.org/Koha-community/Koha/src/commit/8fd2083295af0… Best regards, -- Fridolin SOMERS <fridolin.somers(a)biblibre.com> Software and system maintainer 🦄 BibLibre, France
