[Koha-devel] Feedback on Bug 25705 - Viewing all serials issues should not require serials permissions

[dcook at prosentient.com.au]

Hi all,

 

I'm hoping some folk can provide some feedback on
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25705. Basically,
an OPAC user can see more serials issue data than a Staff Client user
(without serials permissions), and that doesn't seem right and should be
remedied. 

 

I suppose it's debatable whether this is a bug or an enhancement, as I think
the solution is probably to refactor a serials template and create a new
serials-issues script in the catalogue module. 

 

That said, an alternative could be to change the serial issue table in the
"Subscriptions" page on the detail page to use AJAX. We could show the X
latest issues, but then allow users to recall the full history while staying
on the detail page. We could add a REST API endpoint for this. which could
actually be used by both the Staff Client and the OPAC.

 

Actually, I'm now inclined to go with that latter option. 

 

Anyway, curious to hear what other people think.
