When ExtendedPatronAttributes is ON, the batch
patron import tool's behavior changes as follows:
[1] A new (required) column is added to the input CSV
format. This column should contain a list of
attributes to set for the record, each value
preceded by its type code. For example, if
the superlibrarian has defined two types,
a unique identifier INSTID and a repeatable
BASEBALL, this field could contain:
"INSTID:12345,BASEBALL:Cubs"
This field must be wrapped in quotes if multiple
values are defined. Since values can contain
spaces, additional doubled-quotes may be required:
"INSTID:12345,BASEBALL:Cubs,""BASEBALL:White Sox"""
When replacing a patron record, any attributes specified
in the input file replace all of the attribute values
of any type that were previously assigned to the patron
record.
[2] It is possible to specify a field other than the
cardnumber to use for looking for matching patrons.
Specifically, any attribute marked as a unique ID
can be used. The operator is asked to specify
which ID type to use; if an input record has an
attribute value of that type, and exactly one patron
record in the database has that value, then the
record will be overlaid or ignored according to the
overlay setting.

Enhanced the ability of catalogers to specify how
bib and item records should be added, replaced, or
ignored during a staging import.
When an import batch of bib records is staged and commit,
the user can now explicitly specify what should occur
when an incoming bib record has, or does not have, a match
with a record already in the database. The options are:
if match found (overlay_action):
create_new (just add the incoming record)
replace (replace the matched record with the incoming one)
use_template (option not implemented)
ignore (do nothing with the incoming bib; however, the
items attached to it may still be processed
based on the item action)
if no match is found (nomatch_action):
create_new (just add the incoming record)
ignore (do nothing with the incoming bib; in this
case, any items attached to it will be
ignored since there will be nothing to
attach them to)
The following options for handling items embedded in the
bib record are now available:
always_add (add the items to the new or replaced bib)
add_only_if_match (add the items only if the incoming bib
matches an existing bib)
add_only_if_add (add the items only if the incoming bib
does *not* match an existing bib)
ignore (ignore the items entirely)
With these changes, it is now possible to support the following use cases:
[1] A library joining an existing Koha database wishes to add their
items to existing bib records if they match, but does not want
to overlay the bib records themselves.
[2] A library wants to load a file of records, but only handle
the new ones, not ones that are already in the database.
[3] A library wants to load a file of records, but only
handle the ones that match existing records (e.g., if
the records are coming back from an authority control vendor).
Documentation changes:
* See description above; also, screenshots of the 'stage MARC records
for import' and 'manage staged MARC records' should be updated.
Test cases:
* Added test cases to exercise staging and committing import batches.
UI changes:
* The pages for staging and managing import batches now have
controls for setting the overlay action, action if no match,
and item action separately.
* in the manage import batch tool, user is notified when they
change overlay action, no-match action, and item action
* HTML for manage import batch tool now uses fieldsets
Database changes (DB rev 076):
* added import_batches.item_action
* added import_batches.nomatch_action
* added 'ignore' as a valid value for import_batches.overlay_action
* added 'ignored' as a valid value for import_records.status
* added 'status' as a valid value for import_items.status
API changes:
* new accessor routines for C4::ImportBatch
GetImportBatchNoMatchAction
SetImportBatchNoMatchAction
GetImportBatchItemAction
SetImportBatchItemAction
* new internal functions for C4::ImportBatch to
determine how a given bib and item are to be
processed, based on overlay_action, nomatch_action,
and item_action:
_get_commit_action
_get_revert_action

In the list of bibs for an import batch, the sequence
number is now a link to a preview of the original
MARC record - uses the same JavaScript widget as the
preview for Z39.50 search results.

Adjusted the user permissions editing page as follows:
* Replaced table with a list
* Implemented a tree control using the jQuery Treeview plugin
* When CheckSpecificUserPermissions is ON, if a module
flag has specific (i.e., children) permissions, allow
them to be edited - this is where the tree control
comes in.
* Added some hooks and an initial stab at the CSS
to style the permissions editor tree.

This is likely the durable fix to bridge the gap between syspref on the server
and client side validation scripts. It may be useful to separate Date_from_syspref
from the calendar js, but at this time their applicability is 1-to-1.
Note also js debug variable and CGI param('debug') responsiveness.
