---- Reported by Andrew.moore@liblime.com 2008-06-23 07:22:58 ---- Some modules seem to be optional. For instance, it's possible that imagemagick, SMS::Send, Net::LDAP, and maybe others could be omitted from an installation and still result in a working koha product. It would be nice to have something in the installer that allows us to mark these modules as optional so that they are not required to be installed. Some suggestions for how to achieve this are laid out at http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.education.libraries.koha.devel/1012 In the event that this gets implemented, failure to install optional modules should not result in confusing error messages anywhere in the web interface. ---- Additional Comments From Andrew.moore@liblime.com 2008-06-23 07:32:09 ---- We should also consider the case that an optional module is not installed, and then the feature that uses it is later turned on. Useful information about the missing (but now necessary) modules should be provided. --- Bug imported by chris@bigballofwax.co.nz 2010-05-21 00:48 UTC --- This bug was previously known as _bug_ 2270 at http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2270 Actual time not defined.

This does still sounds valid.
Is this bug still valid? The web installer will certainly let you complete the process without installing optional modules (See Bug 12945).
Hm, I agree with Owen. And I think problems with missing modules for optional features should better go on separate bugs.
