[Bug 25911] New: Chrome tries to save patron passwords

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25911 Bug ID: 25911 Summary: Chrome tries to save patron passwords Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 19.11 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Patrons Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: cbrannon(a)cdalibrary.org QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt(a)gmail.com, kyle.m.hall(a)gmail.com If you are like me, you might have your browser try to save passwords for sites. I like having the browser in my office save some of my passwords. Logging into Koha is one of them. However, the problem with this is, every time I save a form that has a password associated with it, it wants to remember this password. This includes patron records. This is an annoyance. Now, my testing has been only with Chrome on this particular issue, and my workaround addresses this to some degree. So, if there is a more all-encompassing issue to address or solution, feel free to chime in. I've been able to work around this annoyance by adding the following to jQuery: $('#pat_memberentrygen #password,#pat_memberentrygen #password2').attr('readonly','').attr('onfocus','$(this).removeAttr("readonly");'); This will make the password fields readonly, which Chrome will ignore. If you need to edit the field, when you click on it, it will take the readonly attribute away, and it can be edited. Left as is, when you save, it will, of course, try to save the password. But it will only do so if the password is edited. If you leave it untouched, it will not bug you. I can take this one step further, I add this line to add the readonly attributes before saving. Then it won't bug me to save the password at all: $('#pat_memberentrygen #validate').attr('onmouseover', '$("#pat_memberentrygen #password,#pat_memberentrygen #password2").attr("readonly","");'); NOTE: Our Save button has the ID of "validate" because I have some validation code added to the form. But you get the idea here. When you hover over the save button, it adds the readonly attribute, and is ignored by the browser. I don't know if this helps anyone, or gives anyone an idea how to keep patron forms from being a nuisance to staff that save credentials, but I thought I would throw it out here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 20271] New: Merge deleted/old tables with their "alive" cousins

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20271 Bug ID: 20271 Summary: Merge deleted/old tables with their "alive" cousins Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P1 - high Component: Database Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: boutrosboutrosboutros(a)gmail.com QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org In Koha's DB, instead of having a "soft" deletion of entries by flagging the deleted one as so, the rows in the db is actually deleted, but only after a new row in a different table is inserted. Koha's DB is relational, so there is a cascade of links between each object: a biblio is referred by many items, and each item is referred by issues, holds, messages. E.g.: when a row in the item table is moved from "items" to "deleted_items", then all the references from holds, transfers and so on will be broken. The suggested more orthodox approach to this would be to add a "deleted_at" column, which is normally null unless the row is deleted, then it set to the timestamp of when it was deletion. This means that the row is still there and will still be referred by other tables, but it just won't be shown in the relevant lists. This would improve the maintenance of Koha in many ways (e.g.: the auto_increment id on those tables caused lots of issues when you add an item and delete it immediately after. the next new item will have the same itemnumber as the previously deleted one, clashing with it in many ways). This bug is about merging the all these tables: deletedborrowers => borrowers deletedbiblio => biblio deletedbiblioitems => biblioitems deletedbiblio_metadata => biblio_metadata deleteditems => items old_issues => issues old_reserves => reserves -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

[Bug 20269] New: Allow selecting default collate rule

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20269 Bug ID: 20269 Summary: Allow selecting default collate rule Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Database Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: pasi.kallinen(a)joensuu.fi QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org For some languages, the default collate rule set in kohastructure.sql, utf8_unicode_ci, doesn't work correctly. For example, Finnish alphabet expects the alphabet to sort abc...xyzåäö, but the unicode_ci rule doesn't handle the åäö right. Instead, we need to use the swedish_ci rule. It would be nice to be able to define the default collate rule during install. Problem can be seen for example when you go catalogue a new record and have frameworks starting with 'ä' or 'ö', those will sort incorrectly. On the database, you can test this with: insert into biblio_framework (frameworkcode, frameworktext) values ('TEST', 'Äänikirja'); -- Note where the 'Äänikirja' is located select * from biblio_framework order by frameworktext collate utf8_unicode_ci; -- And then the correct order, with 'Äänikirja' last: select * from biblio_framework order by frameworktext collate utf8_swedish_ci; -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 26058] New: Add ability for AllowHoldsOnPatronsPossessions to be limited by item type, collection code or shelving location

For instance, we have multiple volumes of graphic novels attached to the same bib record so we have AllowHoldsOnPatronsPossessions set to Allow. We have hotspots and laptops and would like to prevent patrons from being able to place holds on them when they already have one checked out. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 28072] New: Z39.50/SRU servers would be a great addition to Mana KB

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28072 Bug ID: 28072 Summary: Z39.50/SRU servers would be a great addition to Mana KB Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Mana-kb Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: jrobb(a)sekls.org CC: alex.arnaud(a)biblibre.com It would be very helpful if Mana KB allowed libraries to share, search, and import targets for copy cataloging. It could be added to Koha's Z39.50/SRU servers administration page. Search filters might include type of library, language, maybe a way to find a target with specialized collections like medical or law. It might also be good to have a way to handle targets that stop working - like a way to test them prior to import and/or a way to flag them for review/removal. There are various websites around where you can pick up new targets, but often you have to trial and error your way to identify if the target works at all, and if the target has the kinds of records you're seeking. Having those categorized better and imported at the push of a button would save time and effort. With enough collaboration from the Koha community, this could also lead to a much more robust centralized collection of targets than anything currently available. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
