http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9055 Priority: P5 - low Change sponsored?: --- Bug ID: 9055 CC: dpavlin@rot13.org Assignee: gmcharlt@gmail.com Summary: Mandumah.com's multiple branch search, multiple branch security mod Severity: enhancement Classification: Unclassified OS: All Reporter: wrobertson1981@gmail.com Hardware: All Status: NEW Version: master Component: Authentication Product: Koha This mod creates the ability to search multiple branches using a jquery dropdown, instead of just one or all branches. This mod also replaces SearchMyLibraryFirst preference, giving three options. All = no change from standard koha setup. Preferhome = Prefers patron's home library (others may be searched), koha's current functionality of SearchMyLibraryFirst. Securehome = Only patrons' home library and other assigned libraries (if any) can be searched. With multiple instances of branchcode inside Borrower extended attributes, a patron can be given multiple branches to search within. The Securehome concept also includes the branch given in the apache enviroment of the host/virtualhost contacted, from OPAC_SEARCH_LIMIT = "branch: blah" This patch not only filters the GetBranches results, filtering the patrons ability to see other branches other than the ones given, it also filters the branches given in the limit branch: search options, so that even if a user manually inputted a branch, they are still only getting what they are ment to get. This enhancement would be useful for big libraries, in which its members would be restricted to searching and borrowing from a subset of its books. Overall, the multiple branch search dropdown should prove useful, even with unsecure installations. What is not included yet, is a method to decide what branches to show to a guest, not-logged-in, user. To use this patch, you need to create a branchcode Patron Extended Attribute, and have the patron your working with, have one or more branchcode extended attributes. So, total branches that patron will get: OPAC_SEARCH_LIMIT branch + Patron record home branch + whatever branchcodes you put into Borrower_attributes. You also need to set the preferences, In opac, set SearchableBranches In Patrons, set multibranch. In Searching, set MultiBranchSelect -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
