Mailman thoughts. Switching to discourse ?
by Paul Poulain 05 Feb '16

05 Feb '16

Hello the list, Laurent, our sysadmin is updating our infrastructure (used for both BibLibre & community things). jenkins just moved to a new server, and he's now thinking of moving mailman server. He asked me a question that seems to be a good one: what about switching to a new tool like discourse https://www.discourse.org/ I don't know well this tool, but it seems to have many interesting features. Your opinion? -- Paul Poulain, Associé-gérant / co-owner BibLibre, Services en logiciels libres pour les bibliothèques BibLibre, Open Source software and services for libraries

by Julian Maurice 03 Feb '16

03 Feb '16

Hi, I'm working on this new feature but I have some concerns about its implementation. I made a small, proof-of-concept, patch, and would love to have some feedback before continuing to work on it. It's in bug 15516 [1] and my concerns are described there, next to the test plan :) Thanks.

KohaCon16 - Registrations & Call for proposals Open
by BOUIS Sonia 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Hi, We have a user association in France, called KohaLa, and we try to communicate about Koha through our website and a list, to organize events to promote it and to help users to meet and to discuss. We have organized training for association members. I would be interested in feedback from other users union to know what they are organizing. Would anybody be interested in this subject apart me? Would anybody willing to propose a common proposal about this subject? I think that it would be more interesting to have different feedbacks? And, on a different subject, several libraries in France are really interested in the progress of ElasticSearch in Koha. I imagine that someone will propose a proposal about it ?

Suggestion for the "git so" command
by Owen Leonard 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

The wiki has a good command for signing off multiple patches at once: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Git_bz_configuration#Signing_off_2 I have a suggestion for an improvement: Prepend "[SIGNED-OFF]" to the first line of each. Is that possible? -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org

RFC for a really new stuff : sharing data worldwide
by Paul Poulain 01 Feb '16

01 Feb '16

Ladies & gentlemen, We're competing more and more against providers that promote a "cloud multi-tenant LMS". Koha is a cloud application (and it is since 2000, long before cloud is born). What does "multi-tenant" mean ? It mean that you'll get access to many resources that are shared worldwide. I think that the "multi-tenancy" is a way for proprietary vendors to lock-in their customers [1]. But the idea of having a worldwide database for some informations is interesting and relevant. Proprietary vendors take care of updating this database. Open Source projects are not working centrally, so we must find another way of creating and maintaining such a database. With this thing in mind, BibLibre has decided to sponsor an intern + some internal resources for next summer dedicated to a project dedicated to sharing data between koha instances worldwide. I wrote a 1st draft of RFC and I'd like to have your feedback: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SharingDatasBetweenKohas_rfc If this project is successful, in the automn version of Koha, we may see a way to share worlwide data between all Koha libraries ! [1] if you're a proprietary vendor and are reading this: I don't mean it's the only reason for multi-tenancy. -- Paul Poulain, Associé-gérant / co-owner BibLibre, Services en logiciels libres pour les bibliothèques BibLibre, Open Source software and services for libraries

Jenkins (we want to move the server)
by Paul Poulain 01 Feb '16

01 Feb '16

Hi koha-devel (and especially chris I think) The jenkins server is now pretty old, we (BibLibre) have new (fancy) platforms where we would like to move it. First question: do we agree that jenkins.koha-community.org is now only collecting data from other servers as "master", and no integration is made on BibLibre server anymore ? If I'm wrong we need some explanations ! Migration plan: what do we need to move ? the .war only ? a mysql db we have [koha, koha_univ_lyon3, koha_biblibre_master] ? Another question: it seems I don't have an account anymore on jenkins http. thx to answer by including laurent, our sysop (he's not on koha-devel) -- Paul Poulain, Associé-gérant / co-owner BibLibre, Services en logiciels libres pour les bibliothèques BibLibre, Open Source software and services for libraries

Staff Client Normal View details
by akafortes 01 Feb '16

01 Feb '16

Hello everyone, I'd like to ask if it is possible to add the value of a MARC field as a label in one of the Normal view fields. I use the "UNIMARCslim2intranetDetail.xsl". And I have something like this: <xsl:call-template name="tag_7xx"> <xsl:with-param name="tag">700</xsl:with-param> <xsl:with-param name="label">Main Author</xsl:with-param> </xsl:call-template> Which in the Normal View, on the Staff Client would Display: Main Author: Author's Name from 700 I use the 700$4 to store a code that Identifies, in a way, what that person is. I use a list of authorized value of this form: Value Description 005 Actor 070 Author . . . What I'd like to do is something like this: <xsl:call-template name="tag_7xx"> <xsl:with-param name="tag">700</xsl:with-param> <xsl:with-param name="label">700$4 Description</xsl:with-param> </xsl:call-template> So for example if record has "Author" in the 700$4 then I'd want the normal view to display that as a label Can anyone please tell me if: 1) is this possible to be done? 2) if it is possible, how would I go about doing it? Thank you very much -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Staff-Client-Normal-View-details-tp587228… Sent from the Koha-devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
