i Everyone,
It seems that everyone had a email conversation about the way templating
is being done in koha. I have been working on templating the opac. Let
me explain what I have done, which is not to say that it is the right
way :-)
Firstly I should point out that I have been developing on the rel-1-2
branch, but will probably merge this into the 1.3 release.
Did you commit it ? I'm not sure, i see almost nothing. If you've
commited, let me know how many (and which) files are in the CVS.
If you want to go and check it out go to http://opacdev.katipo.co.nz
you can login using user:pword = frank:frank or finlay:finlay
CVS: All the templates are going into the koha-tmpl tree of cvs.
under this root we have two sub-branches intranet-tmpl/ and opac-tmpl/
eveything onder there should be installed in koha/intra/htdocs/ and
koha/opac/htdocs/ respectivly.
OK, that's clear. Hope everybody reads this.
And then we have the structure: <theme>/<lang>/<scriptname>.tmpl
I suggest that we try hard to keep the templates and scripts with the
same names.....
not try very hard, but MUST...
includes and images go under the <theme>/<lang>/ directory.....
An example:
The opac-search.pl script presents the search form in the opac.
see: http://opacdev.katipo.co.nz/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl
it calls the opac-search.tmpl template which in this instance is found
in the default/en/ theme and language.
There is an include at the top: cat-top.inc and this is found in
default/en/includes/cat-top.inc all the images in the templates are
prefixed by the HTML::Template tag: <TMPL_VAR NAME="themelang">
eg. src="<TMPL_VAR NAME='themelang'>/images/search-button.gif"
This template variable is automatically passed to includes and is
automatically loaded into the template by the template loading
subroutine.....
Nice, fast and clear. Great.
Template loading:
The relevant code in opac-search.pl is:
use C$::Output;
my $template = gettemplate("opac-search.tmpl", "opac");
So, the picktempate sub can be dropped (in Output.pm from both 1.2 and
main branch) ?
and most templated scripts must be touched (1-2 line modify)
I will update the reading material on:
http://koha.org/contribute/templating/

Looking at your code (v1.2) show :
* we must add 2 rows in systempref table :
-> opaclanguages
-> opacthemes
(note : why having opac and not intranet ?)
* we must add 2 lines in the config file :
-> opachtdocs
-> intrahtdocs
Am I right ? If yes, then, you're the templating coordinator, so I
agree, and will soon move already templated scripts to the good
directory structure.
But i'll wait for your confirmation (am i right ? is there scripts that
you still haven't commit ?)
