https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=41259 --- Comment #1 from Pedro Amorim <pedro.amorim@openfifth.co.uk> --- Hi Andreas, I believe the behavior you describe is the functionality working as designed. (In reply to Andreas Jonsson from comment #0)
Expected behavior:
- If user is logged, return list of backends that are 1) installed and 2) listed in ILLOpacbackends
This would imply having to update the sys pref everytime a backend is installed/uninstalled. I believe the way it's designed (e.g. show all if left empty) is to ensure that Koha systems not using this sys pref get all backends by default, which is what one would expect i.e. 1) install a backend 2) see it as an available option.
Actual behavior:
- If user is logged in, - If ILLOpacbackends is empty, returns all backends
Correct, as is noted on the sys pref description: "If left empty, all installed backends will be enabled.".
- If ILLOpacbackends contains several values, return no backend
What do you mean by 'several values' here? The syspref expects backend names separated by '|'. If the value of this sys pref does not match any backend name, none are returned. If, however, we have say Standard, BackendA and BackendB installed, we can set the sys pref as 'Standard|BackendA' and BackendB won't show as an OPAC option.
As the Standard backend is always available, it will be enabled by default in OPAC, and needs to be disabled by setting ILLOpacbackends to something that isn't a substring of "Standard".
In this instance, if you have say Standard and Libris backends installed, and don't want to provide Standard as an option, then having ILLOpacbackends = 'Libris' would only show Libris as the OPAC backend. If, however, your requirement is to have the ILLModule only on the Staff client, and not have it on the OPAC at all, I think that's a different discussion/enhancement. This syspref in particular has quite a bit of test coverage: prove ./t/db_dependent/Koha/ILL/Request/Config.t Please let me know if the above helps or if I misunderstood the issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
