Using Our Koha Extension<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To access the configuration:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1. Open the Extensions<\/strong> page in Koha.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
2. Click Action \u2192 Run Tool<\/strong> to launch the Celebrations plugin.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
3. If the plugin is not activated, a message will prompt you to do so.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Next:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n- \n
Select a theme<\/strong> from the list (Christmas, Halloween, etc.).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- Set the dates<\/strong> during which this theme should be automatically applied to the OPAC.<\/li>\n
- \n
Enable or disable<\/strong> visual elements according to your needs (animations, decorations, colors, etc.).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Adjust the settings<\/strong> (size, speed, quantity, position, etc.) for each effect.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- Preview your changes<\/strong> on desktop, tablet, and phone using the preview window.<\/li>\n
- \n
Finally, save your changes<\/strong> so they are automatically applied to your OPAC on the scheduled dates.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tip: try several combinations to create a unique and festive experience for your users!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Automatic theme activation<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
Once a theme is saved, the Koha Celebration extension automatically manages its activation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n- \n
The theme becomes active automatically on the defined start date (at midnight).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
It is automatically deactivated on the end date.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
No manual intervention is required after saving.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
You can therefore schedule multiple themes in advance for the entire year
(Christmas, Valentine\u2019s Day, Easter, etc.).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The administration menu of the Koha Celebration<\/strong> plugin is clear and intuitive.
It allows you to manage all aspects of customization without writing a single line of code.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n- \n
Changes are immediately visible<\/strong> in your OPAC interface thanks to live preview on desktop, tablet, and mobile.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
You can schedule theme configurations for specific dates<\/strong>, with all selected elements and settings (size, speed, quantity, position, etc.).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Each configuration can be previewed, edited, or deleted<\/strong> easily, providing full control over the catalog\u2019s appearance throughout the year.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/p>\n
This approach allows you to create a festive and dynamic experience automatically, without manual intervention for each occasion.<\/p>\n
