Query about a New Book display plugin/widget for the OpacNavRight HTML customisation
by Alex Buckley 10 Aug '23

10 Aug '23

Hi everyone, I have a query from one of our partner libraries. Does anyone know of an existing New Book display that could be displayed nicely in the OpacNavRight HTML customisation? This library can't utilise their OpacMainUserBlock HTML customisation as it is already full of content. That being the case we believe the Koha Coverflow plugin may not be the best option in a long narrow area like the OpacNavRight. Any information, or examples, would be gratefully received. I hope to see some of you next week in Helsinki at KohaCon. Kind regards, Alex

Run Koha plugin method from CLI
by David Cook 21 Jul '23

21 Jul '23

Hi all, Do you ever want to run a Koha plugin method from the CLI? I know I sure do, so I raised this issue and attached a patch: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=34335 I was able to upload a simple plugin and run the following: perl misc/run_koha_plugin.pl --class Koha::Plugin::Prosentient::CustomMethodPlugin --method awesome_method --params '{"msg": "this is awesome"}' This could be useful for manual tasks, cronjobs, or whatever really.

QA Tools change
by Renvoize, Martin 19 Jul '23

19 Jul '23

Hi all, tl;dr: Changed unit tests now run be default when using the QA test tools. --no-tests can be used to disable this functionality at runtime. The longer version. I recently submitted a merge request for the QA tool to enable running changed unit tests by default and it's just been merged. In the merge request we remove the --run-tests flag we used to require to run tests and instead replace it with a --no-tests option allowed users to skip the tests explicitly. I've also got another merge request open that's being worked on that attempts to identify related unit tests for a patchset and run those too. This will certainly be behind a --more-tests switch to start with whilst we refine the guesswork in identifying such tests. Martin

Net::Netmask gotcha for ILS-DI:AuthorizedIPs
by David Cook 17 Jul '23

17 Jul '23

Hi all, I've recently noticed that Net::Netmask 2.000+ no longer supports abbreviated IPv4 netblocks (e.g. 216.240). If your Koha libraries have used this in their configurations, they'll no longer work. They need to use one of the supported methods like CIDR format: 216.240.0.0/16. Just FYI!
