[Koha-devel] Override sysprefs in Apache config

[David Cook]

Hi Magnus,

Yeah, I was thinking it wouldn't make sense to affect the staff interface UI, since you might be overriding 5 different OPAC virtual hosts. But I had a vague memory that there was some sort of signifier that the syspref was being overridden. Maybe a false memory in the end. 

In the end, I did use X-Koha-SetEnv to set a syspref for one of two OPAC virtual hosts, so that worked well enough.

We have used this a fair bit to set up alternative/infividual OPACs for individual libraries, but I have never seen a setting like that fill in or otherwise affect the actual syspref. And how would that work when you have 5 different VirtualHost configs all setting their own OVERRIDE_SYSPREF_LibraryName?

I can confirm that settings like these work for us:

RequestHeader add X-Koha-SetEnv "OVERRIDE_SYSPREF_LibraryName Grundskolan"
RequestHeader add X-Koha-SetEnv "OPAC_SEARCH_LIMIT branch:multibranchlimit-23"
RequestHeader add X-Koha-SetEnv "OPAC_LIMIT_OVERRIDE 1"

Best regards,
Magnus
