[Koha-devel] Strange Plack-related bug

2020-09-03 Thread dcook
Hi all, I was running Koha Plack on OpenSuse (using CPANed libraries), and I noticed that creating a new authority would take me to /cgi-bin/koha/authorities/detail.pl?authid=1, which then spat out an error in my logs of "Subroutine build_tabs redefined at /path/to/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/authori

Hi Tomas, I don't think that's correct - there was never an official decision on deprecating Zebra. On 03.09.20 14:27, Tomas Cohen Arazi wrote: Latest commit is from April 8th. I belive it is in maintenance mode only. We deprecated it, though. So focus is on ES integration. El mié., 2 sept. 202

I would say it's time to start thinking about alternatives/further encourage the adoption of elastic search and clean up the search code in general. I still have a, perhaps misguided, fondness for zebra. I'm not sure Koha has always used it to its strengths and it certainly has its own issues.. bu

Hi all I agree, we do need to work on a lightweight alternative, and until we have one support zebra. The vast majority of Koha libraries will not have the budget to be able to run an elastic search cluster. So while elastic search is definitely great and we should continue to improve our usage

Oh that’s interesting! I see references to Debian Buster in the commit log (https://github.com/indexdata/idzebra/commits/master). I might shoot off an email about getting some updated packages/releases. Can we really call Zebra usage deprecated if it’s still the default stable option for ne

I answered this because on some bug (which one I don't remember) I was told we shouldn't 'add features' to Zebra code. But I need to dig a bit to remember. It might have been a communication issue, but we haven't been adding features to Zebra code On Thu, Sep 3, 2020, 14:02 Katrin Fischer wrote:

[Koha-devel] Apache directive TimeOut works differently when using mod_cgi (CGI) vs mod_proxy_http (Plack)

Hi all, While troubleshooting Apache TimeOut for Plack vs CGI (https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26128), I discovered that Apache seems to respect TimeOut when measuring a timeout proxying requests to Plack. However, it actually *doubles* the time when running CGI script

I know what you mean, and I totally agree about Koha not using Zebra to its strengths. That said, Zebra does have some annoying limitations, although I have thought how some of those could be worked around by wrapping Zebra with another program (or even writing features and upstreaming them.

[Koha-devel] Using Template::Toolkit WRAPPER in Koha plugins

Hi all, I just wanted to share how I've used Template::Toolkit WRAPPER in a Koha plugin. All the details are available at https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26381, but basically it boils down to creating 1 wrapper template, and then invoking that using the WRAPPER di
