Time Nick Message 14:29 owen Okay, so patch does not apply... then what? 14:31 gmcharlt owen: referring to my message? as I said, a rebase and resubmit will likely take care of it 15:03 owen Okay, gmcharlt, second try is on its way to you 22:58 jaron hi, I'm adding a local preference and need to access it from a template. it is basically for a page like the opac-main page but with different content. 22:59 jaron how would I get at the local preference content? I created an apache scriptalias to a script very much like opac-main.pl and template like opac-main.tmpl except replaced OpacMainUserBlock with the name of my local preference variable. 22:59 jaron but nothing is showing up :( 23:00 jaron any ideas? 23:16 gmcharlt jaron: not ideal, but you could make a local change to get_template_and_user in C4/Auth.pm 23:17 jaron gmcharlt: how are local preferences usually used from within templates. not templates have access to local use preferences? 23:18 gmcharlt jaron: there isn't a defined way of doing it except by modifying get_template_and_user() 23:18 gmcharlt jaron: one could add a column systempreferences to indicate if a preference should be automatically exported to the templates 23:18 gmcharlt add a column *to* systempreferences 23:19 jaron ah, ok. i'll see what I can do. 23:26 jaron gmcharlt++ 23:27 jaron gmcharlt: easy enough when I knew where to look :) 23:27 gmcharlt yeah, that usually 3/4 of the battle :) 23:32 jaron gmcharlt: I'm trying to make it so that a librarian can change content on some additions pages through the system preferences. Mostly static content but can still change every so often. right now I'm creating a script alias in apache, an opac-page.pl script, an opac-page.tmpl, and a system preference for each page. any easier way you can think of to force koha to be a little CMS for a few pages? 23:32 jaron s/additions/additional/ 23:35 gmcharlt jaron: are the templates meant to be edited directly; or are they just containers for information stored in the sysprefs? 23:36 jaron templates (basically the opac-main.tmpl right now) used to hold info in sysprefs just like OpacMainUserBlock is used right now 23:37 jaron gmcharlt: i just want a few additional pages that'll do the same thing as happens on the opac-main page--take a bit of content and fit it into a place in a template 23:37 gmcharlt gotcha 23:38 gmcharlt one way to do it is to define a new table containing a code and html_snippet columns 23:39 gmcharlt write a little script that references the code 23:39 gmcharlt opac-page.pl&page_id=<code> 23:40 gmcharlt and add a bit to get_template_and_user() to scan that new table 23:40 gmcharlt and add a template var for each one (e.g., custom_html_snippet_<code>) 23:40 gmcharlt if you want to use the snippet in an existing page 23:41 gmcharlt that way, whenever you add a new snippet, you don't have to add a new syspref 23:41 jaron i'm getting you. my perl's rusty but I think I can swing that. :) 23:41 jaron right 23:43 gmcharlt another way might be to clone the editable help system 23:43 gmcharlt and let user create arbitrary static HTML pages 23:47 jaron i like the parameter idea. It seems like I could still use local sysprefs which are chosen based on an incoming param. 00:01 jaron gmcharlt: awesome. it worked! :) 00:02 jaron gmcharlt++ 00:02 jaron needs some work but basically works 00:16 pianohacker Hello.
