Brendan: What do you exactly mean here? The bug/enh thought is kind of vague :) There will always be discussion if some patch is just a bugfix or an enhancement. Ideally, every bug fix should be an enhancement. And what about the difference: enhancement vs. new feature? Marcel

Re: [Koha-devel] [Koha] Question about cover images
by Nicole Engard 31 Oct '14

Tim, I put this in the opacusercss: /* Hide the no image found image */ .no-image { display: none !important; } It hides that image so that you don't have that problem.

When I upload cover images, the uploaded one appears, but the "no cover image available" one is still there, right below it, in both the public and staff interface. I am checking the option box to "replace existing covers." Any ideas how to get rid of this default filler image? > > > > Thanks, > > > > Tim > > > > Timothy Skeers | Cataloger | Iowa Library Services/State Library of Iowa | 1112 E.

System preference question
by Mark Tompsett 30 Oct '14

30 Oct '14

Greetings, I was looking at Bug 9580, and came across the non-problem of non-existent system preferences. That is, the system preference does not exist in the systempreferences table, but that didn’t stop me from creating it on the fly when I set the system preference in the staff client, because the .pref file had been modified and updating it created the missing system preference, and it did not cause any difficulties in actually testing. Should all system preferences be in syspref.sql? Should all system preferences be created in updatedatabase.pl? Or are there exceptions like this one, where it just works? On a related note there is a Wiki page that should reflect this consensus I’m trying to find. http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/System_Preferences GPML, Mark Tompsett

RM news

Hi everyone, I've just pushed the patches our OPAC MM (Chris) integrated into his MM branch. Thanks Chris! (a) prog/CCSR deprecation patches pushed I encourage all of you to broadly test master for problems related to this major removal (about 1123 files :-D). (b) Translation Bernardo will be creating the 3.18 files on the translation site, so we have an idea of the amount of work it will take for 3.18. (c) Feature freeze Remember we are close to feature freeze, please contact me if you're having any trouble having your patches passed, i'll try to help you with that and evaluate the possibility of the enhancement to hit 3.18. Ok, moving on :-D Tomás

Coding guidelines question
by Mark Tompsett 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

Greetings, <span style="block" title="[% SEARCH_RESULT.biblionumber |url %]" class="[% IF ( SEARCH_RESULT.normalized_ean ) %][% SEARCH_RESULT.normalized_ean %][% ELSE %][% SEARCH_RESULT.normalized_isbn %][% END %]" id="coce-thumbnail[% loop.count %]"></span> This fails to meet coding guidelines (http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Coding_Guidelines#HTML1:_Template_Toolk…) The question is does the following fail too? <span style="block" title="[% SEARCH_RESULT.biblionumber |url %]" class="[% SEARCH_RESULT.normalized_ean || SEARCH_RESULT.normalized_isbn %]" id="coce-thumbnail[% loop.count %]"></span> Because I really like it compared to the length IF/ELSE split.

Hi all, just a reminder that the feature freeze is very close now: Halloween.... 31st October! This is the deadline for enhancements and new features to make it through QA and into the next 3.18 release. So if you can, make some time this week to help us clean the queues - sign off and QA!

by Paul Poulain 28 Oct '14

Hello, KohaCon14 is now done. We had a great time in Cordoba: lot of talks, lot of code, lot of (good) food and drink (beer). Every year, the next KohaCon location is announced at the end of the KohaCon. This year, we had only one candidate, so they win the deal ! Congratulation to Ibadan, Nigeria, that will host the KohaCon15. If you want more info, you can have a look at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon15_Proposals Note that we already have one candidate for KohaCon16, in the Philippines (http://wiki.koha-community.org/w/index.php?title=Kohacon16_proposals) (It's not time to vote for KohaCon16, we will do that in Q2/Q3 2015. We will call for candidate "officially" in april/may) -- Paul Poulain, Associé-gérant / co-owner BibLibre, expert du logiciel libre pour les bibliothèques BibLibre, Open Source software for libraries expert
