v2025.04.02 Latest
Latest

Bugfixes and Enhancements

  • (Issues 798 and 802) - Solves an immediate issue with editing License Records and changing account information in the Organizations module. Still an issue with some forms, but basically some processing functions are not returning false to forms when a user clicks "Submit," causing the form to perform default behavior and try to load scripts/pages that either don't exist or cannot handle the variables being passed to them by the form. Will continue fixing these issues as they are discovered.
  • (Issue 785) - Fixes an issue where workflows were not being automatically marked as complete when the last step has been completed.

v2025.04

Accessibility and UI Cleanup

Written and coded by @stephanieleary
This version includes a major rewrite of the CORAL user interface focused on accessibility, internationalization, and mobile-first responsive layout principles. To reduce maintenance debt, it consolidates CSS, JS, and header and footer templates into the core directory.

The new UI features a two-level navigation bar, replacing the module switch dropdown. It does not rely on a third-party CSS framework. It incorporates the Bootstrap Reboot core styles and generally follows Bootstrap class naming conventions. The colors are a subset of the Tailwind CSS palette. The main CSS file includes light and dark color modes, print styles, and forced colors / high contrast mode support.
The update includes all modules, with a few exceptions:

  • most of the Reports interface
  • EBSCO Knowledgebase integrations
  • PIG-related files

Resources Module

Enhancements

  • (Issue #645) - Allows negative numbers to be added to the Payment History table of a resource. Requires MySQL table update (included in this update) (@streatim)

Bugfixes

  • (Issue #652) - The Get Statistics checkbox is now being read by the javascript (@streatim)
  • (Issue #714) - AuthenticationType values can be deleted in the Admin section (@streatim)
  • (Issue #707) - Updates the payment history form processing so that rows are not deleted from the database table as the first step of form processing. The forms have been rewritten to better split out what actions (Insert, Delete, and Update) need to be taken, and data validation has been rewritten to send back error reports before making changes to the MySQL database itself (@streatim)

CORAL 3.0.0

System Environment Requirements

  • PHP 5.5+ (Known issue: not compatible with PHP 7.2 at this time)
    • Required PHP extensions: mbstring, gettext, mysqlnd
  • MySQL 5.5 and 5.6 (Known issue: Not working with MySQL 5.7 at this time)
  • Apache 2.2 or above

Install or Upgrade

Installation

  1. Download a copy of 3.0.0 at Github.
  2. If you use the option to download the compressed zipped file, expand this file in a working folder.
  3. Copy the expanded folder to your webserver. If using Apache, this would be something like /var/www/html/ folder. If CORAL will be in a sub folder on your webserver, change the folder name from “Coral-master” to, for example, “coral” or another name you choose. The web installation depends upon the index.php file found in the coral folder. Your Apache settings should be set to include loading the index.php file.
  4. Go to the home directory via a web browser to initiate the install process and follow the onscreen instructions.

Upgrade

You should be able to upgrade to 3.0.0 either from 2.0 or from the final 1.x modules. It will simply upgrade you to 2.0 along the way, but you'll still end up with 3.0.0.

  1. Make a fresh backup of your database and directory.
  2. Download a copy of 3.0.0 at Github.
  3. If you use the option to download the compressed zipped file, expand this file in a working folder.
  4. Copy the contents of that expanded folder into your coral web root, which might be something like /var/www/html/coral depending on your configuration.
  5. Go to the root of your coral installation in a browser "your.coral-domain.org" and the upgrader should recognize that you are using an older version of CORAL and start the upgrade process. Follow the onscreen instructions.
