Thanks Magnus, That patch works on 16.11 not on 16.05. That patch points me to the line where the problem was but doesn't say why. I had a 'use C4::Branches;' in my code (not sure why). That doesn't exist in 16.11. That's why ByWater Solutions Kitchensink plugin fails to load in 16.11. I also discovered that the GetPatronImage subroutine is no longer in C4:Members. Anyhow, it's working on Debian from repositories on 16.05 and 16.11. 16.05 is also working on openSUSE. I'm about to try 16.11 Bob On 02/07/2017 03:57 AM, Magnus Enger wrote:

I did get ByWater Solutions kitchensink plugin to loadand run. So I must have it setup properly.

I still can't get my DonorApp to load. I was missing some perl modules. They're now installed.

I've set the DebugLevel to "lots of".

When I do the uploadit comes back to the tools plugin page and does not show it as aplugin. The files are in placein /var/lib/koha/stonewall/plugins/Koha/Bobsown/DonorAppnext to ../ByWaterSolutions/KitchenSink.

There are noerror messages.

How do I tell it to let me know what's wrong? Maybe this bug/patch could be of interest? https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17461

Is it possible to have just one Koha database but more than one OPAC interface that is accessing the data?

in my opinion the best option is many OPAC Virtual Hosts with different DNS CNAME each. In every VH setup you can insert different values for system preferences and you can hve different css, js, etc. Bye Zeno Tajoli -- Zeno Tajoli /SVILUPPO PRODOTTI CINECA/ - Automazione Biblioteche Email: z.tajoli@cineca.it Fax: 051/6132198 *CINECA* Consorzio Interuniversitario - Sede operativa di Segrate (MI)

Hi Michael This won't work with Plack, because the environment variables set in Apache are not passed through to Plack. This still works fine without Plack as the env variables are set for the scripts running under the apache user. Someone needs to work on a way to pass the variables to plack. Environment ones won't work, because plack is persistent, they will need to be set in config or something. If you want to discuss ideas for doing this, we could move it to the koha-devel list.

Thanks for your suggestion! I tried to find some information about different values for system preferences in virtual hosts, via Google I found some Bugzilla issues (10325, 16068) and some other hints, but no official description (except one hint in chapter 2.1 of the manual). There seem to exist variables like OPAC_CSS_OVERRIDE etc and also OVERRIDE_SYSPREF_* which seemingly can be extended like OVERRIDE_SYSPREF_opacbookbag for example.

I then configured a new virtual host in my Apache HTTP Server using the standard OPAC configuration for port 80, but changing the port to 1080. After that my OPAC is actually accessible via port 80 as well as 1080.

Then (as an example) I added the variable OVERRIDE_SYSPREF_opacbookbag, so the configuration of the virtual host now looks as follows

<VirtualHost *:1080> <IfVersion >= 2.4> Define instance "svk" </IfVersion> Include /etc/koha/apache-shared.conf Include /etc/koha/apache-shared-opac-plack.conf Include /etc/koha/apache-shared-opac.conf

ServerName svk SetEnv KOHA_CONF "/etc/koha/sites/svk/koha-conf.xml" SetEnv MEMCACHED_SERVERS "" SetEnv MEMCACHED_NAMESPACE "" AssignUserID svk-koha svk-koha

SetEnv OVERRIDE_SYSPREF_opacbookbag 0

ErrorLog /var/log/koha/svk/opac-error.log </VirtualHost>

I then restarted the Apache HTTP Server and also Plack - but there was no visible change in the new OPAC (usually "opacbookbag" should hide or show the Cart symbol). In fact I made many more experiments, but I guess one example is enough here.

I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing anyway... Can you maybe point me to some documentation about the correct changing of values for system preferences?

Hi Chris and Jonathan

This won't work with Plack, because the environment variables set in Apache are not passed through to Plack. This still works fine without Plack as the env variables are set for the scripts running under the apache user.

Thanks for the clarification! I stopped and disabled Plack - and yes, immediately the variable worked as expected which is great!

Someone needs to work on a way to pass the variables to plack. Environment ones won't work, because plack is persistent, they will need to be set in config or something.

If you want to discuss ideas for doing this, we could move it to the koha-devel list.

In my particular case Plack is not absolutely necessary because the database is quite small. The problem seems already solved, as Jonathan just wrote:

For Plack you can have a look at bug 16520, it is in 16.11.

Still, in my case the situation actually occurred on an installation of Koha 16.11.0 - but as said the variables work like a charm when Plack is deactivated.
