http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2539 Summary: kohaspsuggest is deprecated, notes outmoded Product: Koha Version: HEAD Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: OPAC AssignedTo: jmf@liblime.com ReportedBy: joe.atzberger@liblime.com QAContact: koha-bugs@lists.koha.org The syspref "kohaspsuggest" is for an external database, but this feature does not appear functional in 3.0. Reportedly it did something in 2.4(?) according to notes in the script: misc/spellcheck_suggest/make_spellcheck_suggest.pl But the script doesn't actually make use of the system preference and instead expects you to hand edit it. The searches (opac/opac-search.pl and catalogue/search.pl) use the syspref, but there doesn't appear to be any instruction on how to setup this additional DB. The same notes reference http://liblime.com/c/downloads.html but currently that resolves only to a 404. I suggest we change the syspref description(s) to designate kohaspsuggest as "[UNIMPLEMENTED]" for now and rework the script later, if necessary. Script comments (URL) should be corrected or removed. There may be related documentation updates also. More broadly, I don't understand the motivation to use a separate database to begin with. Wouldn't a table in the Koha DB be sufficient? Is it just a performance/load distribution question? Or is the intention to share one such DB amongst many koha installations (i.e., different permissions model)? ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.
