How to install Koha plugins for development
by Samu Heiskanen 20 Jan '22

20 Jan '22

Hi, I am a new Koha developer from windy and cold Finland. As new to the Koha-community, I'd like to wish all the best for everyone in the community. I have a problem with installing Koha plugins. I tried to find guidelines how install plugin from Git-repository, but haven't found. I'm forking a plugin and setting up an environment for development and testing. What is the the preferred way to install plugin from Git? Best Regards, Samu Heiskanen

Time to translate: string freeze to prepare Koha 19.11.25 has begun
by Wainui Witika-Park 19 Jan '22

19 Jan '22

Hello, String freeze is into effect as of now for the 19.11.x maintenance branch in preparation for the 19.11.25 release. The minor release is scheduled for January 24. 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 19.11, then you must also copy it to 20.11, 21.05 and 21.11. Otherwise your work will be lost for future versions. Happy translating! Wainui Witika-Park (she/her)

hackfest in Marseille !!!
by Paul Poulain 18 Jan '22

18 Jan '22

Hello world ! According to my announced agenda, BibLibre is supposed to invite you for a Koha hackfest in Marseille, March 28th - April 1st. The pandemic is at a high level now, but specialist are optimistic for the next quarter. So, I'd like to be optimistic too and say : "OK, let's do it ! we'll meet in Marseille in late March". As usual : the hackfest is open to anyone willing to contribute to Koha, not only to developers: librarians are warmly welcomed and can contribute a lot ! It's a hackfest so no schedule, we decide day after day who work on what. If you can't join us for the whole week, that's OK, but joining 2 days is a minimum, 3 days being better (and 5 days the best, of course ;) ) And as usual, there will be the legendary French cheese lunch ;) If you want to join, just drop me an email ! -- Paul Poulain, Associé-gérant / co-owner BibLibre, Services en logiciels libres pour les bibliothèques BibLibre, Open Source software and services for libraries

Can't locate object method "output_with_http_headers" via package "CGI"
by Michael Kuhn 13 Jan '22

13 Jan '22

Hi Our library uses a non-Koha Perl script to authenticate with Divibib Onleihe (a digital distributor like Overdrive). The script worked with Koha 18.05 but after the update to Debian 11 with Perl 5.032001 und Koha 21.11.01 the following error appears: Can't locate object method "output_with_http_headers" via package "CGI" at /usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/onleihe_auth.pl line 91. The script file actually contains these lines (among others): use CGI; use XML::Simple; use Koha::Patrons; use Koha::AuthUtils qw(hash_password); use Digest::MD5 qw(md5_base64); use C4::Output; use C4::Context; my $query = new CGI; ... output_with_http_headers $query, undef, $xml, 'xml'; Can anyone please give me a hint how to solve this problem?

Opening bids for KohaCon22
by Katrin Fischer 13 Jan '22

13 Jan '22

Hello dear Koha community, another year is coming to an end. It's time to turn our attention to the new year that's coming up, full of possibilities! If you or your organization would like to organize KohaCon22, please enter all relevant information on this wiki page: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon22_Proposals (if you do not already have an account to edit the wiki, you can request one, it is usually pretty fast to get access). The community has agreed that KohaCon conferences must be either hybrid with an in-person conference streamed online, or entirely online. Apart from keeping the community members safe, this will also allow for greater accessibility, so that everyone can attend and learn from each other no matter their availability, ability to travel, or budget. Know that the community stands behind anyone who volunteers to organize and that help is always available if you're unsure how to proceed. Call for proposals will end on January 8, 2022 at 23:59 UTC. If there is more than one proposal, we will organize a vote, which will be announced on this mailing list. Best regards, Katrin

Reusable barcode?
by Waylon Robertson 11 Jan '22

11 Jan '22

Is there a way to use a barcode multiple times, as a category/tag on checkin/out? A toy library would like to just have categories like 'Game', 'vehicle', 'book', etc, and to scan those, instead of barcoding each item individually. How would this work?
