Koha Wiki Sitemap.

Find Koha Wiki content and guide its arrangement using the sitemap.

Koha Wiki Page Creation Guidelines.

Please add new pages under appropriate namespaces and provide access point links to the index page of the namespace under which your new page is being added to facilitate finding your new page easily. Namespace topics should be arranged under top level language namespaces such as en for English or fr for French to facilitate the easy identification of content in translation.

All contributors to the wiki should examine the Koha Wiki Contributors' Namespace Tutorial based upon the work from the DevWeek documentation group introduced by Pierrick Le Gall at the first KohaCon, France (2006).

Sadly Pierrick was unable to remain with the Koha community to remind us to avoid making a confusing jumble of unlinked pages difficult to identify for translation in the wiki. Instructions on how to correct the problem by moving content and still have external links to the old jumbled wiki pages work may be found in the Koha Wiki Contributors' Namespace Tutorial.

Koha Documentation.

Online Help

  • Since Koha 2.2 an online help is available directly from the Koha Staff Client.
  • For example, when you pull up a page : my.koha.server.org/cgi-bin/koha/path/to/script.pl?param=x
  • a help page must be written for the page: path/to/script.pl
  • That's as simple as this. The same page is used for every action on the same page.
  • Anyone can add documentation here : Koha Documentation
    • The manual is being transferred to DocBook XML and can be see in this Git Repository
  • You can also update help files directly in Koha

Koha Defined

Koha Community

KohaUsers - Here's a page for collecting some information about who's using Koha. Hopefully it will help us (the developers) get in touch with the right people to ask questions of, and will help you (Koha users) to find other libraries running Koha in your local area. Note: these two groups aren't mutually exclusive.
