http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11781 Bug ID: 11781 Summary: Error after setting IndependentBranches to 0, that is, "prevent" (staff (but not superlibrarians) from modifying objects (holds, items, patrons, etc.) belonging to other libraries.) Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 3.14 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: System Administration Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: homer.richardson@yahoo.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com The sequence below has happened twice so now i think it may be a bug, not a personal failure. Environment 3.14.03.000 OS version ('uname -a'): Linux ID13723.example.com 3.8.0-29-generic #42~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 14 16:19:23 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Perl interpreter: /usr/bin/perl Perl version: 5.014002 Perl @INC: /usr/share/koha/lib /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.14.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.14 /usr/share/perl/5.14 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .

Immediately after setting the preference, everything works fine. In fact i work on koha configuration for the rest of the day, log off and back on several times and everything is fine. However, the next day (perhaps because the crons have run overnight) when i try to access the intranet, i get this error. Software error: Can't use an undefined value as a HASH reference at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/mainpage.pl line 53. For help, please send mail to the webmaster ([no address given]), giving this error message and the time and date of the error. ----------- my $branch = C4::Context->preference("IndependentBranches") && !$flags->{'superlibrarian'} ? C4::Context->userenv()->{'branch'} : undef; ----------- I log into the server and do the following mysql> select * from systempreferences where variable="IndependentBranches"; +---------------------+-------+---------+---------------------------------------------+-------+ | variable | value | options | explanation | type | +---------------------+-------+---------+---------------------------------------------+-------+ | IndependentBranches | 1 | NULL | If ON, increases security between libraries | YesNo | +---------------------+-------+---------+---------------------------------------------+-------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> update systempreferences set value=0 where variable="IndependentBranches"; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.04 sec) Rows matched: 1 Changed: 1 Warnings: 0 This fixes it, and lets me enter the intranet but strangely i enter logged in as an OPAC user (who does not have permission to enter the intranet area). I only have one OPAC user created by the way, and obviously was not previously logged in as that user in the intranet but i may have been logged in as that user in the OPAC. If i log out and try to sign in as that same OPAC user again, it correctly gives me the message that i do not have permission to access that page. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
