Help writing or customizing plugins
I'm about to write a plugin form filling the publsiers and maybe the authors in our MARC21 Koha System. Apart from reading the code: is there other documentation about how the plugins work? someone can enlight me? Thanks in advance Andres

+ don't hesitate to ask questions here, or reach irc.katipo.co.nz:6667 #koha, between 7 and 17 GMT. You should usually find me. Note I hope you'll be writing plugin in english and give them to CVS ;-) -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
Thanks Paul and the others who made suggestions. Right now I have a small plugin that lets me load an author from the previously loaded ones, this is workin g in 100a and 700a. This speeds up the cataloging, among enhacing the quality of the catalog. If my librarians give me green light I hope to make a similar one with publishers and institucional authors (110a and 710a). My hope is to program something that is generic enough to be contributed back to the main project. when it's good enought i will sen it to you to be loaded at the CVS A problem that we found with Ernesto is that most of our developments are very specific to the needs of Universidad ORT. An other problem we have is that the Universitiy wants results for certain dates, that may not be compatible with roadmap of the main project. Right now we're just doing mantainance in our Koha system, and we where focused to work on other projects. I will love to do IRC with you an other koha developers, maybe i can do it from my home. Here in the University we have a very restrictive firewall that we don't control, so we can't do IRC nor CVS. Andres Paul POULAIN wrote:

Maybe, but with the plugin system that's not a problem (at least for MARC editor). in cvs, you have : * unimarc specific plugins * marc21 specific plugins * a plugin required by one of our libraries and you could add your plugins (maybe we should document a little them ...) -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
