https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20346 --- Comment #4 from Alex Buckley <alexbuckley@catalyst.net.nz> --- Created attachment 72623 --> https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=72623&action=edit Bug 20346 - Server side patron filtering implemented - Amended Server side (in the svc/members/search file) perl logic for filtering results returned from patron searches checks all patron data fields for a match with the filter value. This filtering works in the following steps: when filtering is initiated the original search using the original search query is run again and then the filter value is used to filter the resulting data, thereby using both the search and filter values to easily find a patron. The submitted filter value is automatically checked against every patron value in every patron record returned from the search and so there is no need for a specific data value to be selected with the select dropdown box id=searchfieldstype_filter and so that select dropdown has been removed due to this redundancy. This filter works for both filtering based on finding a match containing the filter value and, filtering based on finding a match starting with the filter value. A tooltip is displayed on the searchmember_filter input box to inform the user what format they should enter date formats. The tooltip tells the user to follow the date format of the dateformat syspref, meaning if the Koha instance has the 'metric' dataformat syspref value set then the tooltip will tell the user to enter a date value in the format dd/mm/yyyy Test plan: 1. Go to /members/members-home.pl and create 4 users. Make 3 of them have the same first and last name (e.g. first name = 'Fred' and last name ='Jones') but vary the homebranch, email addresses (e.g. fred@gmail.com, fred@hotmail.com, fredj@gmail.com (make this user have a date of birth of 1st jan 1980)) and make the fourth user have the first and last name of "Fred" "Smith" 2. Perform a search by writing in the 'Jones' value and you should get 3 results 3. Filter by writing in the word "Fred", with the search field ="standard" and searchtype="Contains" and this will give you 4 results because a new search for all users containing "Fred" is performed rather than filtering the results of the "Jones" search for the term "Fred" 4. Apply patch 5. Restart plack, apache2 and memcached 6. Refresh the patron page 7. Notice the search field dropdown has been removed because the filtering now automatically checks all patron data fields. Also notice when you hover over the filter textbox a tooltip message is displayed informing you the appropriate format for you to input date values in. This date format recommended is based on the value of the dateformat syspref 8. Repeat step 2 and you should get 3 results 9. Repeat step 3 and notice you get 3 results because the filtering is happening on the results of search rather than performing a new search 10. Perform another filter of the search by inputting the date 1st jan 1980 in the appropriate format described in the tooltip and the patron page for the patron with the email address fredj@gmail.com should be displayed Sponsored-By: Catalyst IT -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
