OLEFA 12.2 offers a completely new database model and allows to create podcasts from Tiparlo


OLEFA 12.2 is currently being installed on customer servers.
  1. OLEFAbase: A new database model is now available as beta, offering the following main features:
    • Much faster engine.
    • AJAX-based display list offers a better user experience when executing search queries or turning pages.
    • Advanced search patterns support: and-, or- and exact-phrase-searches.
    • Searching by a hierarchical category can now be recursive.
    • Gateway for the new OLEFAmobile application that allows to create database entries, including image gallery uploads.
    • New statistic options including user-based borrowing history.
    • Printed stickers may contain general record-barcodes as well as specific element-barcodes.
    • More intuitive setup-interface.
    • Amazon- and Marc-Gateways allow to define priorities.
    • Complete ACL support.
    • Preset database templates for news, libraries and podcasts.
    Note: The new database engine will be used for databases that are created from now on; existing databases will continue using the old engine. Old databases may be converted to the new engine in specific circumstances or on request during the upcoming months.
  2. OLEFA Tiparlo:
    • A brand new podcast feature allows to create podcast episodes and publish them into an OLEFAbase, which also generates a feed that can be subscribed in RSS-readers or podcast-readers, such as iTunes. Please note that the podcast database needs to be created in the administration interface first using the new database engine.
    • New icon design.
  3. OLEFA Calendar:
    • When changing the start time of an event, the end time will be adapted automatically without affecting the length of the event, including overnight events.
    • When adding links or uploading attachments to repeated events, you can select if this is only relevant to the specific entry.
  4. Various bugfixes and performance improvements.
