Description Katrin Fischer 2012-02-10 10:59:42 UTC
I tried testing the Firefox plugin for offline circulation today, because I was not aware that the feature is still blocked by bug 5877.

As the missing tables are scheduled to be added for 3.8,  it's currently not possible to make use of this nice plugin for older versions of Koha.

A nice enhancement would be an option to generate a standard .koc file from the plugin. The upload option is already in Koha for a longer time, so a lot of libraries could make use of the plugin without having to wait for the release of the new version and updating.

This sounds like a really good idea! It might also help with debugging any problems people run into with the plugin.

Not sure if this is a good place (or it needs a separate bug report), but I loaded the plugin today to see how it worked.  I can't get as far as connecting to Koha -- just clicking on one of the tabs in the plugin produces an error in my Firefox error console:

dbConn is not defined
 Source File: chrome://koct/content/script.js Line: 73

When I open that error report, the referenced line is:

var query = dbConn.createStatement("SELECT * FROM offlinecirc");

Is this a Firefox config problem or a problem with the plugin?

Got a little further (I didn't do anything, it just apparently decided to work).  Now it accepts entries and shows them in the Log tab, but when I try to apply or commit, nothing happens.  Firefox error console says

Error: setText is not defined

The synching from the plugin now works nicely, no workaround needed.
