Koha misc4dev
by Jonathan Druart 11 Nov '16

11 Nov '16

Hi devs, Just to let you know that I have created a new repo for handy scripts I use everyday. A couple of weeks ago I decided to submit stuffs on bugzilla to have more scripts in the misc/devel directory. But actually it takes me too much time trying to integrate them into the Koha codebase (I always need to apply my patches locally when I need them, fix conflicts, etc.) I have closed these 2 bugs: Bug 17529 - Add a --with-records option to populate_db.pl Bug 17534 - Press a button and get a fresh DB And move these changes outside of bugzilla. I prefer to create my own repo, it will be easier and quicker to maintain. You can have a look on https://github.com/joubu/koha-misc4dev It just does a few stuffs so far: - populate the DB with all sample data - create a superlibrarian user - insert some data (this is new): * insert records * insert a default circ rule * configure the self registration and self-checkout features * insert acquisition data (budget, fund, vendor and basket) - rebuild zebra I should not have submitted populate_db.pl and create_superlibrarian.pl, but they have already been backported to stable so it seems easier to let them in the Koha codebase. Feel free to fork or pull request! Cheers, Jonathan

Is this possible with Koha anyway? Will shift this to Koha-devel Yes this is possible and quite easy to do. What makes it tricky is Zebra, which you have left out of your diagram. You either need to have the full zebra index on both your application servers (which means modifying rebuild_zebraqueue to make sure it gets built by each machine) Or you need to use something like nfs or another distributed filesystem. Or use rsync etc. It becomes a lot easier with elasticsearch of course, because you just have your elastic cluster and they talk to that.

koha on redhat
by Divya Batra 04 Nov '16

04 Nov '16

Dear, Greetings I want to know about the procedure and entire method for installing koha on redhat. Ours is a government organization and servers with redhat installed is available for us to use and complete redhat support is also available. As it is a government organization internet access is as such not available on the server system so offline installation is needed to be done. Koha is an open source system, so it should be possible to install it on any linux machine. I want to know how we can do that. We want to install a stable koha version on a stable redhat version. Hoping for a positive reply. Thanks & Regards Divya Batra

Create autocomplete for addbiblio.pl
by Rodrigo Santellan 01 Nov '16

01 Nov '16

Hi, I'm trying to create an autocomplete for a few fields when adding a biblio. My problem so far is that the ids generated are things like this: *tag_110_subfield_a_361770_300725* (I'm trying to create an author autocomplete). One quick fix for me will be to add to the fields a class containing this: tag_[% subfield_loo.tag %]_subfield_[% subfield_loo.subfield %] Should this will be helpful to anybody else? Is there a better way to do this? Regards

Creating new template.
by Rodrigo Santellan 31 Oct '16

31 Oct '16

Hi, I want to create a new template for a custom action in the patron details. What I need is to call a web service to update some data of the patron but only is the staff wants (Ideally it will be called on a cron job at midnight). I have two languages English and Spanish, do I need to change both views of the *koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl* or should I change the English one and the regenerate them? Thanks for any help! Regards Rodrigo

Bug 16733 and related
by Marcel de Rooy 31 Oct '16

31 Oct '16

Hi all, This bug (and various connected ones) is about making changes in the Debian scripts that make life somewhat easier when you decide to use git on a package install. I realize that this is a somewhat controversial area. Several people do not want git near the Debian installs. I understand their concerns in terms of safety and keeping etc in sync with Koha (to say it shortly). In terms of safety you should indeed protect your staff client (iptables, rewrite rule like bug 16922?) For a production install you should probably only use git to manage custom patches on top of your Koha install. Currently, this bug is just silently ignored. Although more people than just me use gitified package installs (especially for testing). The current approach on bug 16733 may not be the most optimal one. So, I am just triggering the discussion here. How can we go further with some more consensus here or should I just obsolete this line of development ? Thanks for any feedback, Marcel

Development environment ,
by Karam Qubsi 29 Oct '16

29 Oct '16

*Hi , * I hope if some of you can share what tools you are using to make it easier in developing koha code . Recently I tried to implement koha development installation using vagrant ( https://www.vagrantup.com/) as I loved the way it works with Laravel homestead but I think something was not working with me for koha ( did any of you try vagrant with koha) let's say I have my PC and I have a windows on it , and I have a virtual machine with Debian and koha dev installation . I want to edit koha code from my windows machine using my preferred IDE and then simply from the virtual machine terminal applying patches or commit some changes . is there any way to get it easy like this ? , *Many thanks . * -- *Karam Qubsi*
