Hi,
we also really appreciate the TT option to have in notices. We tried it
and faced a problem especially with those digest letters. If you use
digests only, most of the letter is prepared for the first round and
then its updated with iterated data items as they come. This means that
placeholders like <<count>> are not updated anymore so we can see
letters saying eg. "you returned 3 items", but in the fact there is much
more of them listed in:
----
<<biblio.title>>
----
Maybe it's a bug and not a TT issue...?
Regards

+1 to what Bob said. I think we need the old syntax to be fully
working at least for a longer transition time.
I can see that TT will allow us to have even nicer notices than we
have now, so looking forward to having the option.
I think documentation will be really important in order to have
libraries use the feature. We have some special constructs with the
current syntax now. It would be nice to have mapping on how to achieve
the same output or similar with the new TT syntax. I am thinking of
things like:
<<date_due|dateonly>>
<<today>>
<item><<items.fine>></item>
<<items.content>>
...

Its good to see the commitment to keeping the existing syntax as an
alternative to the new syntax - thank you!. There are a massive
number of existing notice templates in Koha libraries and libraries
could face a significant cost to switch to the new syntax. So as
long as the path involves introducing the new but retaining the old
as an alternative, we're in favour.
Thanks for the initiative.

Hey All!
As you may know, Koha 16.11 supports the use of Template Toolkit
markup in
Koha's slips and notices. This provides huge benefits over our current
bespoke syntax, such as
A) Consistency, we have odd tags like <<itemscontent>>
B) Flow control, for example, we can hide labels for fields that
are empty
C) Flexible, for example, maybe you want to mask part of a patrons
name on
a print slip, with TT it's easy!
Jonathan and I would really like to get moving on making Template
Toolkit
the defacto way to deal with slips and notices in Koha. This is not a
trivial undertaking, and we'd like to get it done in time for the
17.05
release.
To do this we will:
A) Port all slips and notices to TT syntax
B) Enable TT syntax in the slips and notices editor
C) Document the new TT syntax of slips and notices
These tasks will be accomplished on bugs 15278, 15277, and 15276
respectively.
I would like to stress that the existing Slips and Notices syntax will
continue to work in 17.05, and you will *not* need to update your
existing
templates during the 17.05 upgrade process.
We are looking for community input on this project before we
proceed. Let
us know what you think!
