system preference question (anonymous preferences)
There are 2 system preferences in my most recent version of HEAD: - AnonSuggestions -- Set to anonymous borrowernumber to enable Anonymous suggestions - AnonymousPatron -- Set the identifier (borrowernumber) of the 'Mister anonymous' patron. Used for Suggestion and reading history privacy Does this mean that AnonSuggestions is not used? I personally think we need both and that Anon should be for suggestions and AnonymousPatron for reading history. Can someone please clarify these for me? Thanks Nicole

iirc, I added the AnonymousPatron, and used it for suggestions as well (in my patch for reading history opt-in). I think we don't need 2 different sysprefs (we already have too many !) HTH -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08
I agree - lots of preferences - but just because i want my reading history anonyimized I may want to gather names for purchase suggestions - which is why I say we need 2. Nicole On Wed, Dec 23, 2009 at 8:47 AM, Paul Poulain <paul.poulain@biblibre.com> wrote:

Further information. There is a preference 'suggestion' that can be turned on or off to allow or not allow purchase suggestions in the OPAC. In addition there is AnonSuggestion to make those suggestions (if they are allowed) anonymous - leaving set to zero disables - but entering a userID enables. AnonymousPatron is then the ID of a patron you want to display in the reading history instead of the real patron. Unfortunately these are 2 different things and should be handled as such in the code.

I'm bumping this discussion up because AnonSuggestions used to take a patron ID number, and now it says 'allow' or 'don't allow' has anyone tested to see if this works the way it says it should? On Wed, Dec 23, 2009 at 10:41 AM, Nicole Engard <nengard@gmail.com> wrote:

Seems to work. With AnonSuggestions set to "allow" I can navigate to /cgi-bin/koha/opac-suggestions.pl without a login prompt. With it set to "don't allow" I'm asked to log in. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
