Code generation for client libraries using an OpenAPI spec
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 22 Sep '20

22 Sep '20

Hi all, Has anyone used (Swagger) code generation for client libraries using an OpenAPI spec? It could be interesting to provide Debian packages with some client SDKs for popular languages for working with Koha. We could even provide a generated Perl SDK and then use it within Koha. Thoughts?

On Koha::Object->store
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 16 Sep '20

16 Sep '20

Hi, I've been fixing a bug in Koha::Item->store, and I remembered I wasn't sure why we keep the current behaviour instead of making ->store return the ->get_from_storage result like: return $self->SUPER::store->get_from_storage; I know this is 'how DBIC works' but I don't think there's much gain by avoiding it, and anyone calling ->store and doing something else afterwards, needs to remember ->discard_changes (or better ->get_from_storage) needs to be called in order to have the auto generated/updated fields the DB handles (autoincrement fields, timestamps, etc). So, is there a reason to keep this as-is? -- Tomás Cohen Arazi Theke Solutions (http://theke.io) ✆ +54 9351 3513384 GPG: B2F3C15F

Hi, saluton, hola, bonjour, String freeze will be into effect now 15 September for the 19.05.x maintenance branch. The 19.05.15 release is scheduled for the 25th of September. This means it's the right time to head over to the translation platform: https://translate.koha-community.org/projects/ Important reminder: if you add or change a translation in version 19.05, then you must also copy it to 19.11 and 20.05. Otherwise your work will be lost for future versions. Happy translating, -- Victor Grousset/tuxayo

Using Template::Toolkit WRAPPER in Koha plugins
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 14 Sep '20

14 Sep '20

Hi all, I just wanted to share how I've used Template::Toolkit WRAPPER in a Koha plugin. All the details are available at https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26381, but basically it boils down to creating 1 wrapper template, and then invoking that using the WRAPPER directive in individual Koha plugin templates like report-step1.tt. It reduces the boiler plate required for each plugin template whether that wrapper template is provided by the Koha plugin or by Koha (both approaches have pros and cons). For a long time, I've wanted to use WRAPPER with Koha more broadly, but Koha plugins provide a great opportunity for using them with no refactoring of existing code. Anyway, I hope that others find this useful. I'm going to have a bit of fun with it.

Hello everybody, As you may know I am migrating the git server to a new fresh one. Do you know any good reasons to keep one of the following git projects: mm/jcamins.git MM repo for authorities Jared Camins-Esakov 6 years ago mm/chrisc.git MM repo for testing Chris Cormack 6 years agolog | tree koha-archive.git Old Koha topic branches Koha Project 7 years ago wip/koha-equinox.git Equinox work in progress Galen Charlton 7 years ago koha-small.git main Koha release repository Koha Project 8 years ago wip/koha-catalyst.git Catalyst work in progress Chris Cormack 8 years ago wip/koha-chris_n.git Personal work in progress Chris Nighswonger 8 years ago wip/koha-biblibre.git BibLibre work in progress Henri-Damien Laurent 9 years ago wip/koha-fbc.git Foundations Bible College...

David Bavousett 10 years ago http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha-archive.git;a=summary They all seem very old and no longer used. Moreover they don't seem to contain useful history information. If you have any doubts please let me know and I will keep them (or some)! Cheers, Jonathan
