Re: [Koha] Sharing advanced bib editor macros?
Hi, Barton-- It looks great! There's a stray tilde in the 710 macro, so I'll see if I can log in to edit, and remove that tilde. One question--the page says the macros haven't been tested, but I do use them in my cataloging--do you mean that they haven't been tested by someone else to verify them? Or is it just a standard "buyer beware...use at your own risk" phrase? If the tilde disappears from the 710 macro, then I'm successful!

Ok, I've added a 'Shared Resources' link to the front page of the Koha wiki. The page says that it's locked for editing, so that link may only appear for me -- if that's the case, you can access that page here:
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Category:Shared_resources
The shared resources link contains link to established libraries such as the Jquery Library and the SQL Reports Library, but I've also added a link to the new Advanced Editor Macros Library.
One caveat: I don't have the code formatting figured out yet... right now, I have to add 4 spaces to the start of every line in the macro to get it to format as code... and you'll have to remove those spaces when you copy the page into the advanced editor. I'll fix that when I figure out the best way to do so.

That's great, Barton & Elaine! This is going to be fun, and will hopefully save a lot of folks some time when they get going with the advanced editor! Barton--are you busy with the Koha US conference? Or can you get started right away? A macro library like the reports library, as Elaine suggests, sounds great to me! Or did you have something else in mind?
I'll get working on some more macros to contribute!

If you can log in, you should be able to edit. :-)

I meant that they haven't been verified -- there are a few things that I'm not sure about: - Did the wiki do anything funny when I pasted in the delimiter character? - Could there be any other copy/paste errors? - Anything I don't know about ... ? ... it's a new page, no one has /ever/ pasted a macro from that page into the advanced editor. Once someone has, and tells me that it works for them, I'll relax that wording. :-) --Barton

Oh, that makes so much sense, Barton--thank you for clarifying! And thank you *so* much for creating this page so quickly--I was able to edit the page & remove the stray tilde! Looks like we're cooking with gas, and I'm still on my first cup of coffee!:) I'm cataloging nothing but photos today, so I won't have a chance to write & test new macros in real records, but I'll be cataloging a mix of materials tomorrow, so I'll start writing some new macros for books & more common materials then, and will try adding them to our shiny new page! I have misplaced Nicole's new email address--hopefully she'll see this, because it might be good to add a link to our shiny new macro library into the manual.

Ok, I cleaned up the issue with the code formatting by using <pre> tags, so you don't have to worry about the four spaces, and I added a bit of clarification in the 'caution' part at the top of the page. On Thu, Aug 4, 2016 at 11:00 AM, Hernandez, Heather < heather_hernandez@nps.gov> wrote:

I like it, Barton! With Firefox and Chrome, though, I'm seeing the side bar very far down the page--is that just on my device, though? I have to admit, I'm tickled pink to have the word "Developer" near my name! It's like I'm playing with the big kids!

I"m not sure about the side bar. It's not just your device... maybe something about using the <pre> tags ... ?? Let's just call it a work in progress :-) On Thu, Aug 4, 2016 at 1:01 PM, Hernandez, Heather < heather_hernandez@nps.gov> wrote:
