VuFind Developers Call Minutes: April 14, 2015
Attending: Chris Delis, Chris Hallberg, Demian Katz, Jochen Lienhard, Tod Olson
Agenda
1. Development Updates
JIRA Tickets
- VUFIND-1102 / VUFIND-1103 - Both of these tickets relate to improved SSL support for third-party services (OpenLibrary previews and Amazon reviews, to be specific). Both have been resolved through pull requests (#338 and #339, respectively).
- VUFIND-1104 - this ticket discusses overriding view helpers in themes; opened due to a misunderstanding, so closed without action (apart from commenting on the solution to the problem).
Pull Requests
- #336 - merged - a bug fix in the logic for looking up the current active locale.
- #337 - in progress - work on making cover images more configurable; right now, the shape of the configuration is being discussed.
- #340 - merged - this contains some work on displaying additional status information (such as “lost”) on the “checked out items” screen for Voyager users.
Travis
Thanks to Ere Maijala, we're now using Travis on VuFind's GitHub account for simple PHPUnit/PHP_CodeSniffer testing. This is not intended to replace Jenkins, but it provides an extra line of continuous integration defense and should prove especially helpful for validating pull requests (which are currently ignored by Jenkins).
2. Development Planning
Call Number Normalization
Tod is testing the code this week and plans to roll it into production soon. Outstanding issues: Beanshell updates and prefix processing.
Solr Upgrade?
There hasn't been any further discussion on the solrmarc-tech list since the last call.
Improved Tag Interface
Pull request #292, improving the tag interface for VuFind, should be merged soon. Chris is seeking feedback on the UI before this is committed to master.
Labeling of "My" vs. "Your"
Pull request #227 (designed to normalize some inconsistent language in the UI) has been floating around for quite a while but no action has been taken; we should come to a consensus and do something about it.
