About bug 5634 - Ordering branches should be case independent
by Bernardo Gonzalez Kriegel 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Hi, I've been studying the code to hopefully find (and eventually fix) all occurrences of code to display an ordered list of branches, to close Bug 5634 [1] There is a zoo of different versions, so I have some questions: 1) It's desirable to change the code to use GetBranchesLoop() whenever possible, or only fix the sort order in place? 2) Some solutions use CGI::scrolling_list() to draw the drop down list. This simplifies the template, but is more code in the script. Which version do you think is better?

Why not copying serial holdings in Marc records?
by Mathieu Saby 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

Today, information about serial is only stored in MySQL database. As as consequency (correct me if I am wrong...), callnumber, holding library, location, notes are not searchable in OPAC, because Zebra cannot index them. One solution could be to copy serial information in Marc structure as does, for example, Sudoc network in France (955 field is used : http://documentation.abes.fr/sudoc/formats/loc/zones/955.htm ) What do you think about it?

Sign-off on several patches
by Jonathan Druart 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

Hi all, I just added a new git alias in my git config file to sign-off many patches with a single command. It is: so = "!f() { c=`expr $1 - 1`; git filter-branch -f --msg-filter \"cat && echo \\\"\nSigned-off-by: Your Name <you(a)example.org>\\\"\" HEAD~$c^..; }; f" Until you have this alias defined, you can signed-off the number of patches you want with the following git command: git so X Hope this helps, Jonathan

Re: [Koha-devel] Can we create templates for branches.
by Quoc Uy 07 Jan '13

To Liz and Jonathan: What you two said is similar: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Support_for_multiple_PAC_interfaces_by_… I'm not sure about what you are talking is about independent branches or separated instances. Now we can create a lot of instances with only one Koha installation, each instance has its own database, URL (opac and intranet), and of course they have their own CSS, HTML templates. But it's not what i mean. Branches use only 1 shared database, and all user only need to access to only one URL, and only when they login, they will see different interfaces, based on branch library they registered. If we have only 1 databases for 100 branches, it's easy for us to maintenance, manage, control system preferences. It goes with SYS.Pref Independent branches turn to ON. Sorry for any miss-understanding. Best regards!

using new templates for exporting basketgroups in pdf
by Mathieu Saby 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Hello Our library has created a new templates for exporting basketgroups in pdf (translated in french, and showing fields more usefull for us in the tables than "layout2pages" and "layout3pages"). Of course, we could name this template "layout3pages", and replace the standard template. But I think it would be "cleaner" to add this give this new template a name of his own, so it won't be altered when our Koha is updated. The problem is some code in /acqui/basketgroup.pl prevents us to do that. The only 2 valid templates for exporting basketgroups in pdf are be "layout2pages" and "layout3pages". And we want to edit perl files as less as possible. http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=blob;f=acqui/basketgroup… 188 if ($pdfformat eq 'pdfformat::layout3pages' || $pdfformat eq 'pdfformat::layout2pages'){ 189 eval { 190 eval "require $pdfformat"; 191 import $pdfformat; 192 }; 193 if ($@){ 194 } 195 } 196 else { 197 print $input->header; 198 print $input->start_html; # FIXME Should do a nicer page 199 print "<h1>Invalid PDF Format set</h1>"; 200 print "Please go to the systempreferences and set a valid pdfformat"; 201 exit; 202 } This code was added by this Chris Cormack's commit : "Bug 6679 Fix scripts in admin & acqui to pass Perl::Critic" http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=commit;h=7cdea5de355e853… added So, here is my question : Is this "security" in code really necessary ? And if it is, is there a way to make it more flexible ? Regards, M.

Can we create templates for branches.
by Quoc Uy 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

My idea comes from creating 1 Koha installed with 1 Database for 100 small branches libraries. Each branch has separated template OPAC. There should be a folder in koha and logic in the application that saying ... ok, load branchA's template OPAC for BranchA's user when they login. A,B or C are diff branch libraries, they can have there own data set and can share if possible (it has done quite well with independent branches preference now). Hope some one can improve this! Sorry for my bad English! Best regards!
