Customizing Koha Software

Skills needed

Here is a quick overview of the skills needed to customize Koha. If you want to

modify styling and appearance, HTML and CSS skills should suffice. If you want

to work on more complex features, you will likely need JavaScript, Perl, and SQL

skills as well:

HTML: Koha runs in a browser, basic HTML skills are required if you

want to make changes to Koha's screens

CSS: Size, fonts, position, or colors on Koha screens are controlled via

CSS files

JavaScript: JavaScript adds interactivity to web pages; in Koha, JavaScript

is used for tasks such as validating keyed data or building menus

Perl: Koha's scripting language. If you need to work outside of basic styling

and appearance changes, you will need Perl skills

SQL: Along with Perl, you will need SQL skills to access or modify data in

the database

Understanding Koha's application folder

To be able to make changes to the software, we need to understand the structure of

Koha's application folder - how the folders are organized, what they contain, and

how the different file types are related to each other.

Top level folders

Here is a description of the some of the important folders in the

shared libraries, containing subroutines that are used by various Perl

scripts throughout the Koha application.

etc:

that install or upgrade the Koha database.
