Right now, many librarians struggle with Template Toolkit notices because there is a lack of good documentation. I agree with the idea of getting rid of Koha's bespoke notices and slips syntax, but not until there's better documentation for Koha's end users on how to use Template Toolkit.

I think bug 15277 would help with that +1 This has been stuck for a very long time with minor flurries of activity over the years. I'd love to see a concerted effort some time. I've added it to the roadmap, but we need a commitment from multiple parties to actually work on it, test etc. we I believe this is not only a technical issue but also an issue of better documentation. We need to enable people to achieve at least the same results as with 'hungry alligators' in an easy to understand way. Then we can build on it for more complex things. And we will need a deprecation period. But I think we should do it :) |
