Thursday: patch testing session (open to all!) to help enhancements and bug fixes to be released
by Victor Grousset/tuxayo 01 Nov '22

01 Nov '22

Hi :-) To be forwarded to librarians, system librarians, educators, devs, sysadmins and other people that could be interested in contributing to Koha. Let's meet at any moment in the following timeframe: 13h-19h UTC&UK / 9h-15h US East / 6h-12h US West The place is https://visio.chapril.org/koha (the text chat can be open with the 4th button at the bottom: 🗨️) Reminder of the modalities: The idea is to test patches to contribute to Koha. The biggest bottleneck for having more bugs fixes and enhancements is patch testing. Thus this call for getting together as Koha users. No need for particular skills, just basic Koha usage. You can come an leave at any moment, even for a short time it's possible to get simple stuff moving forward. We will use a VoIP call with chat tool to speak and eventually screenshare. It's possible to join without sound and only use chat. So if you are at the front desk and there are not much patrons you can still test patches ^^ So, whichever communication mode is the most convenient for you. No need to have a local Koha instance. Just with a web browser we can use the sandboxes [1] to have temporary Kohas to test most patches and do whatever we want without bad consequences. Here is a resource about how to test patches using sandboxes: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Sandboxes Cheers, [1] https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Sandboxes -- Victor Grousset/tuxayo

OPAC holdings table for mobile devices
by Iming Chan 31 Oct '22

31 Oct '22

Dear all, We have recently upgraded to 22.05.06 and just noticed that the OPAC holdings table for mobile devices is the same as for desktop PCs. This means information is squashed up and cannot be read easily on smaller screens. Previously, holdings information are displayed vertically instead of horizontally, like: Location Call Number Status Barcode Number Your help is much appreciated.

Where is OPACMobileUserCSS
by Iming Chan 31 Oct '22

31 Oct '22

Dear all, I'm running Koha 22.05.06 and I cannot find OPACMobileUserCSS in the Administration > System Preferences > OPAC > Appearance. I can see OPACUserCSS. Where has it gone? I am hoping to turn the holdings table from horizontal to vertical. So information can be readable. Currently information is squashed on small mobile device screens. Your help is much appreciated. *Iming ChanRosewood Farm Library* *ROSEWOOD FARM GROUP PTY.

Question on OPACUserCSS
by Bruns, Anke 28 Oct '22

28 Oct '22

Hello, we are struggling with a background image for the OPAC pages. The description of the parameter OPACUserCSS says " Include the following CSS on all pages in the OPAC". However, the style declaration body { background-image: url(path/to/our/image.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: cover } only results in the image being displayed on the OPAC start page, not on all the others. What's more, clicking on the "Start" link to return to the start page also shows the page without the background image. So, obviously, it makes a difference if the start page is reached via https://our.opac.url or https://our.opac.url/cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl (of course, these are only symbolic URLs that won't lead anywhere) How can we make the body style declaration visible on all OPAC pages? Thanks!
