??? ??? Fisrt, thanks for sharing this: http://thesocialopac.net/. It's really nice way to find some help. I agree with you about the law's problem. We can solve it with some option for user to choose like "sharing you action to your friends, not sharing...". And if u ask, where we can put this Wall on the Opac website, i think we can creat one more little menu like- "My friend's action" above the "My summary" on the menu.
??? ??? We can make a default like sharing your actions with your classmates (for shool's library or university's library). After friend's action, you can comment, like (it looks like in facebook). I think, the main idea is that, you can share your opinion about some books, recommend it to friends... We did have all databases, how can we make it comes true? I hope some programmer can do it and i think they really can.

Best regard!

??? Well hmm. Now I'm just wondering if you're viewing an older version of Koha, perhaps... Have you seen:

http://catalog.losgatosca.gov/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=117395

???? Be sure and scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on all of the tabs and stuff. I'm not entirely sure that I'm fully understanding precisely what enhancements you want, but we might already be doing part of what you propose. :)

Cheers,
Brooke

Hello.

Regardless of your stance on goto statements (and I would note that they
are thankfully pretty scarce in the Koha codebase, with the exception of
sms/sms_listen.pl, which has a surprising number for a 126-line script), I
think we can all agree that regressions in Koha's functionality are a very
bad thing. Well, I have a proposal for one way we might go about cutting
down on regressions, *and* saving testers time: Test::WWW::Mechanize.

By adding tests that use Test::WWW::Mechanize, it would be possible to
include unit tests that confirm that the interface (at least the parts that
are not Javascript-dependent) continues to function as intended. I find
this an extremely promising concept, and one that I would *love* to put
into practice in my Release Maintaining of 3.6.x (whether the tests are
committed to Koha, or whether they are in a separate repository).

So, what can you do to help us reach our lofty goal of no regressions,
ever, and no simple regressions requiring people-hours to identify? Easy!
Start writing those tests! I filed a bug (
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8300) and attached
a unit test that checks the stage MARC import tool is still looking. Take a
look, and think about whether you could come up with some scripts.

Lest you think that writing this sort of unit test has to be hard, I have
good news! It's not actually all that hard. Documented on the wiki we have
instructions for setting up an http-recorder proxy to simplify your test
writing to the very basics: go through the steps with your web browser,
save the resulting file, and change get() to get_ok() and click() to
click_ok() (yes, it really can be that simple). Moreover, I have documented
the two gotchas that we have encountered with this so far on the wiki, and
I will continue to document the solutions to problems I encounter. So, what
are you waiting for? Get thee to the wiki and begin testing!
