I was working on installer (at last.) |

|

|
hdl |

| 13:53 |
|
kados |
hdl++ |
| 13:53 |
|
hdl |
(But it will be in updatedatabase) |
| 13:53 |
|
kados |
(and in sql defs I hope?) |
| 13:53 |
|
hdl |
And devs should consider upgrading it on each release. |
| 13:54 |
|
hdl |
kados : not yet. |
| 13:54 |
|
kados |
ahh, I see |
| 13:54 |

hello kados & al |
| 13:54 |
|
hdl |
Two questions : Do you want to redirect opac to install page when not web installer is not processed? |
| 13:55 |
|
hdl |
hi paul |
| 13:55 |
|
paul |
kados: if you're not that busy, feel free to give us some news of YUI ? |
| 13:55 |
|
hdl |
paul +++ |
| 13:55 |
|
kados |
sure |
| 13:55 |
|
paul |
I should commit a HUGE circualtion commit before leaving. |
| 13:55 |
|
kados |
first I will say, ++ on your email |
| 13:55 |
|
kados |
I just read it |
| 13:55 |
|
paul |
you can answer as well ;-) |
| 13:55 |
|
kados |
I will shortly :-) |
| 13:55 |
|
kados |
regarding YUI ... |
| 13:56 |
|
kados |
ryan and I have spent much time analysing Koha from a usability standpoint |
| 13:56 |
|
kados |
and we have found that most functions can be broken down into several catagories: |
| 13:56 |
|
kados |
upper-level nav (cataloging, circulation, administration, etc.) |
| 13:56 |
|
kados |
(to go to each major module) |
| 13:57 |
|
kados |
'actions' such as 'create new borrower', 'delete borrower' |
| 13:58 |
|
hdl |
second : what could we do to make installer more version aware that is : A version 3.0 is installed and we have here version 3.1 so lets do 3.0 to 3.1 ... |
| 13:58 |
|
kados |
'views' such as simple / detail / fines, etc. |
| 13:58 |
|
kados |
hdl++ |
| 13:59 |
|
kados |
hdl: yes, that's a great idea |
| 13:59 |
|
kados |
paul: the final type is 'sub-nav' elements that are 'places' within each upper-level nav |
| 14:00 |
|
kados |
what we are doing is breaking down every 'link' or 'button' in Koha and categorizing it into that scheme |
| 14:01 |
|
kados |
and that will make the process of building the interface quite simple |
| 14:01 |
|
kados |
anyway ... I should go to the office now |
| 14:01 |
|
hdl |
(sorry to disturb... great idea but little thoughts about how to realize with the current structure.) |
| 14:01 |
|
kados |
hdl: yui makes it quite simple to realize |
| 14:02 |
|
hdl |
are you planning to commit members soon ? |
| 14:02 |
|
kados |
yes |
| 14:02 |
|
kados |
it has undergone two revisions |
| 14:02 |
|
kados |
the first revision was before we had the 'breakthrough' |
| 14:02 |
|
kados |
of how to best categorize |
| 14:02 |
|
kados |
now that we understand that, I'm almost done with the second revision |
| 14:02 |
|
kados |
(in fact, the same process happened with the search API) |
| 14:03 |
|
hdl |
(I was talking about installer handling updating) |
| 14:03 |
|
kados |
ahh |
| 14:03 |
|
kados |
hehe |
| 14:03 |
|
kados |
sorry |
| 14:03 |
|
kados |
yes, I have an idea |
| 14:03 |
|
kados |
the koha code should store a version string somewhere |
| 14:03 |
|
kados |
as well as store in the db |
| 14:03 |
|
kados |
so that the installer, if it finds a db, can check the version string, and then compare to the one in the code |
| 14:04 |
|
kados |
(perhaps you can give it a path to the code for the upgrade when starting or sth) |
| 14:04 |
|
kados |
hehe |
| 14:04 |
|
kados |
what would be really cool, though probably not very platform independent |
| 14:05 |
|
kados |
would be to allow someone to download the new version on their desktop |
| 14:05 |
|
hdl |
yes. |
| 14:05 |
|
kados |
then, to upgrade, go to installer, and click on 'upload new version' :-) |
| 14:05 |
|
kados |
but it's not platform independent I'm afraid :/ |
| 14:05 |
|
kados |
anyway, I should go to the office |
| 14:05 |
|
kados |
I'll bbiab |
| 14:05 |
|
