Anonymous OPAC Search History
by Julian Maurice 05 Jan '12

05 Jan '12

Hello all, I have a question about this commit (I didn't succeed to find the corresponding bug in Bugzilla) commit feeafa8168965183ba8651cf3113c3c32af863ec Author: Henri-Damien LAURENT <henridamien.laurent(a)biblibre.com> AuthorDate: Mon Aug 24 22:10:25 2009 +0200 Commit: Henri-Damien LAURENT <henridamien.laurent(a)biblibre.com> CommitDate: Wed Sep 30 11:22:21 2009 +0200 Adding Opac-SearchHistory feature Enables ppl to store their search history and delete the whole history Adding Storable required by Opac-Search-History Signed-off-by: Galen Charlton <gmcharlt(a)gmail.com> It adds the possibility for users to store their search queries. It's possible for both logged users and anonymous users. More than that, if an anonymous user with a search history log in, the whole anonymous history is loaded and stored as the user search history. Isn't there any privacy problems with this feature? I mean, if user_1 do some search as an anonymous user, and then user_2 go on the same computer and log in, the whole user_1 search history is saved into user_2 search history. This behaviour has been reported as a bug by some BibLibre customers, that's why I ask. -- Julian Maurice <julian.maurice(a)biblibre.com> BibLibre

work on the database (call for wiki discussion)
by Paul Poulain 05 Jan '12

05 Jan '12

Hello, Jonathan & me took 3 hours working on database design. We've created a wiki page with all the mistakes we've found. The page is http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/DB_schema_bugs you're welcomed to read it, add anything that could have been forgotten, or discuss what must be discussed. There are 2 kinds of entries in this page: * italic lines => we've found the problem, we don't have a solution, feel free to add your voice to the discussion tab of the wiki (http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Talk:DB_schema_bugs, I already have filled it to ease the talk) * non italic lines => unless we made a mistake, those don't need to de discussed, they are obvious mistakes we will fix ASAP (which does not mean soon ;-) ) Enter the game ! -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08

Cleaning up some files
by Marcel de Rooy 05 Jan '12

Paul, If the tests in t/db_dependent/lib and its subdir KohaTest are not working and should not be used anymore, could you please remove them from master? The files in t/data/db_schemas could be moved to docs/db_schemas, or deleted too. They just show the koha structure on some moments in time.

sample databases for sandboxes
by Paul Poulain 02 Jan '12

02 Jan '12

Hello, In my RM application, I spoke of sandboxes that could be used for non-techies to test and signoff patches. I've started to work on this system, something should be visible this month. The system will work that way: * you reach a dedicated page * on this page, you enter 3 things (maybe some more to come) : - the bugzilla patch number you want to test - your email-address (to have a mail once your sandbox is set) - the database you want to setup, from a list of available sample databases * you hit the "OK" button * a few minuts later, you get a mail in your mailbox saying it's done * you connect to the sandbox, and, on the main page, you see if everything went well and you can work on this sandbox. QUESTION/REQUEST: if you have a sample database you'd like to see in the list, just send it to me by email, with some details about the content of this example database, that will be seen by ppl that want to test patches. For example : "this database has 1000 records, 100 patrons, with IndependantBranches=ON, and holds are not enabled anywhere. login with test/test to be superlibrarian from library A, and libB/libB to be a non-superlibrarian from library B" FAQ about this system: Q: how will we manage concurrency ? A: there won't be any automatic checking. But the timestamp of the creation of every sandbox will be visible on mainpage. So if the sandbox is very young, use another one ! If you've any doubt, go Q: what if something went wrong when applying the patch ? A: just add a comment on bugzilla to say "tried to test this patch with sandbox system, it does not work, you get the following message: <copy here the message you saw on mainpage>>". It will mean this patch must be tested by a developer with larger skills than this basic sandbox system has. Q: I want to setup my own sandboxes, how can I do that ? A: go to http://git.biblibre.com, and you'll see a project here with all the code (ie: still to be done) Q: I've tested the patch, and everything went well, what's next ? A: just go to bugzilla, change the status to "signed-off" and add a comment to say "i've tested, works well, signed-off". The RM or the QA team will take care of officially adding your signature to the patch. Q: how long will last a given sandbox setup ? A: Every night, everything will be reseted, Koha will be updated against an uptodate master. -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08
