* Javascript is used in MARC editor, and not "a little". This is a "must have".
I think this is a bug, but I won't fix before 2.0
I don't care how much you don't like Javascript, the fact that Koha uses it is not a bug. If you want a template that doesn't depend on javascript, you have few choices: you can write your own template that doesn't depend on javascript, you can commission someone else to write it for you, or you can file an enhancement request and hope that someone else does it for you. -- Owen

As I said, *I* think it is a bug. For me, it means that Koha probably won't meet local disability laws in all settings. The exact requirements of meeting the laws here varies depending on what part of the system it is, what organisation is using koha and the context it is used in.

I will do this eventually. I wonder if the MARC editor has perl scripts generating javascript at all. It's a case of priorities. Right now, fixing problems that annoy my customers, improving the installer and making the z3950 client stable are my main priorities, in that order.

I probably should do this part now, though. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know.

the MARC editor doesn't generate javascript. BUT the plugins use them. And I think the plugin system in the MARC editor is something that the users really LOVES (at least in France :-) ) without JS, you can't have nice shortkeys & "intelligent" editing

Can you explain this a little more or point me at the explanation? I admit, I did not yet notice plugins. I've also not figured out the "intelligent" editing features. I don't think it's yet in the manual. The only time I spotted anything was automatic upcasing of the z3950 server name field (which is VERY ANNOYING). What sort of "shortkeys" are used and could accesskey attributes not do it? Do we use optgroup, fieldset and legend tags? tabindex attributes? -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know.

It's on the wiki : http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/wiki/index.php?page=PlugInDoc (should be copied in the manual, probably) I've checked it, and it's uptodate. It's a very nice feature in MARC editor imho. Poorly used by non-french libraries i'm afraid... -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

Initial questions from this: What is a "lib"? Are all plugins called for every field or is there a registry? Won't the suggested function names collide sometimes if there is more than one use of the plugin? -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know.

i think it's a translation mistake... In french we use "libellé" for "Text" (or something approaching). I thought (why ? i don't know... A bug in my brain probably...) that "lib" was used in english too...

A plugin is called only if in the MARC setup you've "mapped" the subfield to the plugin concerned.

it's possible, but only in theory imho. Dombes uses unimarc_field_700_701_702 3 times in the editor, and never reported any problem. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
