Koha 22.05: Consolidating OPAC Customizations in News/HTML customizations
by Catrina Berka on Nov 30, 2022
Continuing the trend over recent releases, Koha has consolidated more of the tools to customize the OPAC into Tools > HTML customizations. Koha version 21.11 introduced HTML customizations, as a separate feature from News, to manage OPAC content.
Koha Tools: News/HTML customizations
In 22.05, two more system preferences were converted to news blocks: OpacMoreSearches and OPACMySummaryNote.
OpacMoreSearches and OpacMySummaryNote moved from system preferences to Tools > HTML customizations
Even more areas of the OPAC are now customizable without using HTML. Here is a summary of the areas of the OPAC that can be customized using the Word-like editor in HTML customizations.
Above is an image highlighting the HTML customizations on the OPAC home page.

This Koha 22.05 release continues to consolidate OPAC customization features by linking OPACUserJS and OPACUserCSS within the Tools > News/HTML customizations. These are still system preferences accessible via Global System Preferences search, but are also now visible within Tools > News/HTML customizations to users with the “parameters_manage_syspref” permissions.
