NAME

C4::Koha - Perl Module containing convenience functions for Koha scripts

SYNOPSIS

use C4::Koha;

DESCRIPTION

Koha.pm provides many functions for Koha scripts.

FUNCTIONS

slashifyDate

  $slash_date = &slashifyDate($dash_date);

Takes a string of the form "DD-MM-YYYY" (or anything separated by dashes), converts it to the form "YYYY/MM/DD", and returns the result.

GetSupportName

  $itemtypename = &GetSupportName($codestring);

Returns a string with the name of the itemtype.

GetSupportList

  $itemtypes = &GetSupportList();

Returns an array ref containing informations about Support (since itemtype is rather a circulation code when item-level-itypes is used).

build a HTML select with the following code :

in PERL SCRIPT

    my $itemtypes = GetSupportList();
    $template->param(itemtypeloop => $itemtypes);

in TEMPLATE

    <form action='<!-- TMPL_VAR name="script_name" -->' method=post>
        <select name="itemtype">
            <option value="">Default</option>
        <!-- TMPL_LOOP name="itemtypeloop" -->
            <option value="<!-- TMPL_VAR name="itemtype" -->" <!-- TMPL_IF name="selected" -->selected<!-- /TMPL_IF -->> <!--TMPL_IF Name="imageurl"--><img alt="<!-- TMPL_VAR name="description" -->" src="<!--TMPL_VAR Name="imageurl"-->><!--TMPL_ELSE-->"<!-- TMPL_VAR name="description" --><!--/TMPL_IF--></option>

getframeworkinfo

  $frameworkinfo = &getframeworkinfo($frameworkcode);

Returns information about an frameworkcode.

getitemtypeinfo

  $itemtype = &getitemtypeinfo($itemtype, [$interface]);

Returns information about an itemtype. The optional $interface argument sets which interface ('opac' or 'intranet') to return the imageurl for. Defaults to intranet.

getitemtypeimagedir

  my $directory = getitemtypeimagedir( 'opac' );

pass in 'opac' or 'intranet'. Defaults to 'opac'.

returns the full path to the appropriate directory containing images.

_getImagesFromDirectory

Find all of the image files in a directory in the filesystem

parameters: a directory name

returns: a list of images in that directory.

Notes: this does not traverse into subdirectories. See _getSubdirectoryNames for help with that. Images are assumed to be files with .gif or .png file extensions. The image names returned do not have the directory name on them.

_getSubdirectoryNames

Find all of the directories in a directory in the filesystem

parameters: a directory name

returns: a list of subdirectories in that directory.

Notes: this does not traverse into subdirectories. Only the first level of subdirectories are returned. The directory names returned don't have the parent directory name on them.

getImageSets

returns: a listref of hashrefs. Each hash represents another collection of images.

 { imagesetname => 'npl', # the name of the image set (npl is the original one)
         images => listref of image hashrefs
 }

each image is represented by a hashref like this:

 { KohaImage     => 'npl/image.gif',
   StaffImageUrl => '/intranet-tmpl/prog/img/itemtypeimg/npl/image.gif',
   OpacImageURL  => '/opac-tmpl/prog/itemtypeimg/npl/image.gif'
   checked       => 0 or 1: was this the image passed to this method?
                    Note: I'd like to remove this somehow.
 }

GetPrinters

  $printers = &GetPrinters();
  @queues = keys %$printers;

Returns information about existing printer queues.

$printers is a reference-to-hash whose keys are the print queues defined in the printers table of the Koha database. The values are references-to-hash, whose keys are the fields in the printers table.

GetPrinter

  $printer = GetPrinter( $query, $printers );

getnbpages

Returns the number of pages to display in a pagination bar, given the number of items and the number of items per page.

getallthemes

  (@themes) = &getallthemes('opac');
  (@themes) = &getallthemes('intranet');

Returns an array of all available themes.

get_infos_of

Return a href where a key is associated to a href. You give a query, the name of the key among the fields returned by the query. If you also give as third argument the name of the value, the function returns a href of scalar. The optional 4th argument is an arrayref of items passed to the execute() call. It is designed to bind parameters to any placeholders in your SQL.

  my $query = '
SELECT itemnumber,
       notforloan,
       barcode
  FROM items
';

  # generic href of any information on the item, href of href.
  my $iteminfos_of = get_infos_of($query, 'itemnumber');
  print $iteminfos_of->{$itemnumber}{barcode};

  # specific information, href of scalar
  my $barcode_of_item = get_infos_of($query, 'itemnumber', 'barcode');
  print $barcode_of_item->{$itemnumber};

get_notforloan_label_of

  my $notforloan_label_of = get_notforloan_label_of();

Each authorised value of notforloan (information available in items and itemtypes) is link to a single label.

Returns a href where keys are authorised values and values are corresponding labels.

  foreach my $authorised_value (keys %{$notforloan_label_of}) {
    printf(
        "authorised_value: %s => %s\n",
        $authorised_value,
        $notforloan_label_of->{$authorised_value}
    );
  }

displayServers

   my $servers = displayServers();
   my $servers = displayServers( $position );
   my $servers = displayServers( $position, $type );

displayServers returns a listref of hashrefs, each containing information about available z3950 servers. Each hashref has a format like:

    {
      'checked'    => 'checked',
      'encoding'   => 'utf8',
      'icon'       => undef,
      'id'         => 'LIBRARY OF CONGRESS',
      'label'      => '',
      'name'       => 'server',
      'opensearch' => '',
      'value'      => 'lx2.loc.gov:210/',
      'zed'        => 1,
    },
