koha.xml contains both the koha configuration and zebraserver configuration.
Zebra connection is modified to allow connection to authority zebra as well.
It will break head if koha.conf is not replaced with koha.xml
- modified userenv to add branchname
- modifier menus.inc to have the librarian name & userenv displayed on every page. they are in a librarian_information div.
zebradb=localhost
zebraport=<your port>
zebrauser=<username>
zebrapass=<password>
The zebra.cfg file should read:
perm.anonymous:r
perm.username:rw
passw.c:<yourpasswordfile>
Password file should be prepared with Apaches htpasswd utility in encrypted mode and should exist in a folder zebra.cfg can read
your data are truely utf-8 encoded in your database, they should be
correctly displayed. "set names 'UTF8'" on mysql connection (C4/Context.pm)
is mandatory and "binmode" to utf8 (C4/Interface/CGI/Output.pm) seemed to
converted data twice, so it was removed.
connection object by doing:
my $Zconn = C4::Context->Zconn;
My initial tests indicate that as soon as your funcion ends
(ie, when you're done doing something) the connection will be
closed automatically. There may be some other way to make the
connection more stateful, I'm not sure...
some explanations :
- updater/updatedatabase => will transform all tables in innoDB (not related to utf8, just to warn you) AND collate them in utf8 / utf8_general_ci. The SQL command is : ALTER TABLE tablename DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci.
- *-top.inc will show the pages in utf8
- THE HARD THING : for me, mysql-client and mysql-server were set up to communicate in iso8859-1, whatever the mysql collation ! Thus, pages were improperly shown, as datas were transmitted in iso8859-1 format ! After a full day of investigation, someone on usenet pointed "set NAMES 'utf8'" to explain that I wanted utf8. I could put this in my.cnf, but if I do that, ALL databases will "speak" in utf8, that's not what we want. Thus, I added a line in Context.pm : everytime a DB handle is opened, the communication is set to utf8.
- using marcxml field and no more the iso2709 raw marc biblioitems.marc field.
* synch with rel_2_2. Probably the last non manual synch, as rel_2_2 should not be modified deeply.
* code cleaning (cleaning warnings from perl -w) continued
Addign a Cookie containing user specific vars such as :
branch,
firstname,
surname,
cardnumber...
may be criticized from a lawyer point of view, since name and surname are given.
But the real need is for userid and branch.
And it is achieved.
Auth passes now TWO cookies :
a session cookie
And an environment cookie.
useful in upgradedb2marc.pl script.
* if this script is called during installation, uses /etc/koha.conf.tmp
* if it's called manually (after installation), uses /etc/koha.conf, as the tmp file is no more here :-)
