Address the following issues:
1/ Address minor qa issues with the templates:
FAIL koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/circ/offline-mf.tt
FAIL forbidden patterns
forbidden pattern: intranet-tmpl should certainly
replaced with [% interface %] (line 24)
[etc.]
OK tt_valid
OK valid_template
FAIL koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/circ/offline.tt
FAIL forbidden patterns
forbidden pattern: intranet-tmpl should certainly
replaced with [% interface %] (line 509)
[etc.]
FAIL tt_valid
lines 5, 5
2/ Run perltidy on new scripts
3/ download.pl returns data.finished = 1 if number of returned
data < 5000 (avoids 1 ajax call)
4/ Replace qq{} around sql queries with q{}
Also, a race condition existed that resulted in pending transactions
only getting deleted from the local database in certain circumstances
(fast connections under Chrome, mostly). This patch fixes that so that
successfully-uploaded transactions are always deleted.
This patch also addresses Jonathan's suggestion:
3/ add a message on check in (currently the input becomes empty but the
user is not informed).
... and Magnus's suggestion about moving the Synchronize link to the
right on the homepage.
Also, this addresses the further issues Jonathan noted:
- The tab of checkouts always shows "*0* Checkouts"
- If I am not well-educated, I click on the "Check out" link on the
offline home page, I enter a barcode, click on "Check out" and I get a
js error (without user message): "TypeError: curpatron is undefined"
(with chromium I get: Numeric transaction modes are deprecated in
IDBDatabase.transaction. Use "readonly" or "readwrite").
- There is a "border-right" css rule on the h5.patron-title. It is
display when there is no patron selected) [really minor!].
- tables are displayed even if there is no data
- The "Clear screen" link (X) points to an old script:
circ/offline-circulation.pl
- There is a warning when clicking on the "Synchronize" link when the
user is offline, but not for the "Pending offline circulation actions"
link.
- Still exists:
> The "Checked in item." message text never disappear (even if I go on the
> offline home page (circ/offline.pl#offline-home)).
Finally, this patch adds a link to the Pending offline operations page
on the synchronize page for easier navigation.

This patch adds an HTML5-based offline mode to Koha's existing
circulation module, allowing librarians to check out items using a
basically familiar interface. The feature will be implemented using
the Application Cache and IndexedDB features of the HTML5 specification,
both of which are fully supported on Firefox 10+ and Chrome 23+, with
limited support going back to Firefox 4 and Chrome 11. The basic
workflow enabled by this patch is as follows:
Part 1: While connected to the Internet
1. Enable offline functionality by turning on the
"AllowOfflineCirculation" system preference.
2. Sync the offline circulation database on the computer that will be
used for offline circulation by following the "Offline circulation
interface" link on the Circulation home page, choosing "Synchronize (must be online)",
and clicking the "Download records" button. This process may take a while.
3. Bookmark /cgi-bin/koha/circ/offline.pl (the page you are currently
on) for easy access when offline.
Part 2: While disconnected from the Internet
4. Navigate to /cgi-bin/koha/circ/offline.pl using the bookmark you
created while online.
5. Start checking books in by scanning the barcode of an item that has
been returned into the box in the "Check in" tab.
6. Scan the barcodes of any additional items that have been returned.
7. Start checking out books to a patron by scanning the patron's barcode
in the box in the "Check out" tab.
8. Set a due date (the "Remember for session" box will be checked by
default, since circulation rules are not computed during offline
transactions and therefore a due date must be specified by the
librarian).
9. Scan an item barcode (if you did not set a due date, it will prompt
you) to check the item out to the patron.
10. If a patron has a fine you can see the total amount (current to when
the offline module was synced), and record a payment. Unlike when in
online mode, there will be no breakdown of what item(s) fines are
for, and you will only be able to record the payment amount and not
associate it with a particular item.
Part 3: While connected to the Internet
11. Click the "Synchronize" link and choose "Upload transactions" to
upload the transactions recorded during the offline circulation
session.
12. Navigate to /cgi-bin/koha/offline_circ/list.pl (there will be a
link from the Offline circulation page) and review the
transactions, as described in the documentation for the Firefox
Offline circulation plugin:
