First big commit in a project to add more granular
staff user permissions to Koha.
* Created two new database tables
permissions:
stores a list of defined permissions; each
permission is to be interpreted as a child
of a top-level permission defined in the
existing user flags. For example, Tools (bit 13)
now has a separate sub-permission for each
individual tool.
The columns are
module_bit = FK referencing userflags.bit
code = code, e.g., import_patrons
description = e.g., "Import patron data"
user_permissions:
stores a list of the specific permissions that
a staff user actually has. For example, if
staff user 123 has only the 'import_patrons' subpermission
of 'Tools' (module_bit = 13), that would be represented
by having (123, 13, 'import_patrons' in user_permissions.
user_permissions and borrowers.flags are now interpreted
as follows (assuming the CheckSpecificUserPermissions syspref
is ON):
* If the appropriate bit (e.g., bit 13 for Tools) is set
in borrowers.flags, the staff user can access all
Tools functions. There should be no rows in user_permissions
for that staff user and userflag bit combination.
* If the bit is not set in borrowers.flags, but one or
more rows are present in user_permissions for that
staff user and bit combination, the staff user can
access the specified sub-functions.
* If the bit is not set in borrower.flags and there are
no rows in user_permissions for that staff user and
bit combination, the user cannot access any of the functions.
Note that this means that if a staff user can access all
functions for a module (because the bit is set in borrowers.flags),
the user will automatically be able access any new subfunctions
added to permissions by a database update.
The columns are:
borrowernumber = FK referencing borrowers.borrowernumber
module_bit, code = FK referencing permissions
* Added a new system preference, CheckSpecificUserPermissions
If this system preference is ON, staff users can be assigned
specific permissions which will be respected during
authorization checks. If this system preference is OFF, the
current userflags semantics will continue to apply.
* Defined sub-permissions for Tools. The list of specific
tools permissions is now:
edit_news Write news for the OPAC and staff interfaces
label_creator Create printable labels and barcodes from catalog and patron data
edit_calendar Define days when the library is closed
moderate_comments Moderate patron comments
edit_notices Define notices
edit_notice_status_triggers Set notice/status triggers for overdue items
view_system_logs Browse the system logs
inventory Perform inventory (stocktaking) of your catalogue
stage_marc_import Stage MARC records into the reservoir
manage_staged_marc Manage staged MARC records, including completing and reversing imports
export_catalog Export bibliographic and holdings data
import_patrons Import patron data
delete_anonymize_patrons Delete old borrowers and anonymize circulation history (deletes borrower reading history)
batch_upload_patron_images Upload patron images in batch or one at a time
schedule_tasks Schedule tasks to run

This reverts commit eaac37aa6ea8c4f2b79adaa4186bc08a9ac9efd4.
Rev 052 in updatedatabase.pl already adds more_subfields_xml
to deleteditems - the reverted patch would attempt to add
more_subfields_xml to deleteditems twice for anybody
upgrading from < 048.

Setting this as a Choice parameter.
This may raise not a performance issue.
Since we were told that loading it local could be longer than getting it from yahoo.
But for poor internet connectivity, it would be a better.
For mobile computer, it is a better choice.

As announced this past February, Amazon.com will no longer be
accepting web services requests to Amazon E-Commerce Service
(Amazon ECS) version 3.0 beginning on March 31, 2008.
This patch upgrades to Amazon.com's Associates Web Service 4.0
for the following components:
1. Amazon.com Locale support for: Canada, Germany, France, Japan,
UK, and US (see the new syspref called AmazonLocale)
2. Jacket Covers
3. Editorial Reviews
4. Customer Reviews
5. Amazon.com Similar Items
The following changes MUST be made to continue using Amazon.com
content:
1. Delete the system preference: AmazonDevKey (AmazonDevKeys used
with AmazonECS 3.0 are no longer valid)
2. Add the system preferences: AmazonLocale, AWSAccessKeyID
NOTE: steps 1, 2 are done by the web installer
3. Verify your AWSAccessKeyID:
You may already have an Access Key ID. You can access your Access
Key ID by going to http://aws.amazon.com, pointing to Your Web
Services Account, then clicking View Access Key Identifiers.
Depending on when you signed up for ECS 3.0, you may need to
re-register for an AWS account, which includes an Access Key ID.
4. Enter your AWSAccessKeyID in the Koha syspref called
AWSAccessKeyID
For complete details on the changes in Amazon.com Associates Web
Service 4.0, and the migration process, please see: http://tinyurl.com/ysorqy
Other changes with this patch:
* added $tabsysprefs{PatronsPerPage}="Patrons";
* Moved OPAC Features to OPAC in sysprefs
* removed experimental OPACXISBNAmazonSimilarItems and XISBNAmazonSimilarItems features

The new tables have the same structure and constraints
as the tables they archive with the following exceptions:
* borrowernumber and biblionumber in old_reserves can be
NULL
* the FK constraints (e.g., for itemnumber) on old_reserves
set the child column to NULL if the parent row is deleted
instead of deleting the child row.
* there is no FK constraint on old_issues.branchcode, allowing
a branch to be deleted without changing archived requests.
Some miscellaneous cleanup was done as part of this patch:
* GetMemberIssuesAndFines (C4::Members) now uses bind variables
* fixed POD for GetMemberIssuesAndFines

This is an improvement of a patch that has previously been rejected: I wanted to display holdingbranch, kados prefer homebranch
(and in fact it depends on the library choice...)
now, the library can choose, thanks to HomeOrHoldingBranch syspref.
Note that I have changed the description of the syspref to reflect this new use
