patron attributes - batch import
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:
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.

patron attributes - staff search and display
If ExtendedPatronAttributes is ON, patron attributes
can be displayed and edited by staff members.
The patron attributes are displayed and edited
in a new section (step 4) of the patron details page. Each
attribute is identified by its type (including type code
and type description) and value (included value description
if the attribute is controlled by an authorised value category).
Note: if, for a repeatable attribute type, the staff member
enters multiple copies of that type with the same value, duplicates
are removed when the patron record is saved. Also, if the type
is repeatable, a JavaScript link allows the staff member to
create new attributes of that type.

patron attributes - OPAC display
If ExtendedPatronAttributes is ON, any patron attributes
whose type is marked as displayble in the OPAC are now
displayed in the 'my details' page in the OPAC (assuming
that the patron is logged in). These appear in the
'Library Use' section.
Currently, it is not possible for a patron to suggest
changes to any of their extended attributes using
opac-userupdate.

C4::Members::SearchMember - support attributes

new editor for patron attribute types
Added new script under the Administration menu
to create, update, and delete patron attribute types.
Some things to note:
- once an attribute is created, its code cannot be changed
- the repeatibility and unique_id settings of an
attribute type cannot be changed after creation -
this is to avoid having to deal with changing
constraints if an attribute type is already in use
by patron records
- an attribute type cannot be deleted if it is
used by any patron records
- this administration page is always displayed regardless
of the value of the ExtendedPatronAttributes syspref. If
the syspref is off, the page will prompt the superlibrarian
to turn it on if desired.
Added two tables and system preference to support
a new patron alternate ID and attributes feature.
A patron attribute (or extended patron attribute) is an
additional piece of information associated with a patron
record. Each attribute has a type that specifies
whether the attribute is repeatable, can serve as
a unique identifier, can take a password, and
whether it can be used to search for patron records
in the staff interface.
The list of attribute types is controlled by the
superlibrarian. Once an attribute type is defined,
values for that attribute can be added to the patron record
via the staff interface or the batch patron import.
Two uses of extended attributes are:
- defining additional unique identifiers, such as
a campus student ID number, a library staff
HR number, and so on. These IDs can be used
for searching or matching and overlaying records
during a batch import.
- additional statistical categories. For example,
a library could define an attribute type for
tracking the academic major of a student patron.
Any number of attributes of this sort could be
defined.
The extended attributes feature is completely optional. If
the new syspref, ExtendPatronAttributes, is OFF, the patron
attributes tables will be ignored; it will not be possible
to display, edit, search for, or match on extended
attributes.
The tables are:
[1] borrower_attribute_types - store attribute types
defined by the administrator.
- code
- description
- repeatable (whether a patron record can have
more than value of a given attribute type)
- unique_id (whether values of this type
must be unique within the database)
- opac_display (whether values of this type
can display in the patron details page in the OPAC)
- staff_searchable (whether values of this type
can be used to retrieve patron records in circulation)
- password_allowed (if set, staff patron editor will
allow a password to be associated with a value; this
is mostly a hook for functionality to be implemented
in the future.
- authorised_value_category (code of an authorised_value
category. If one is specified, the staff patron
editor will use a dropdown for setting values of this type)
[2] borrower_attributes - the actual attributes.
- code (attribute type code, FK)
- borrowernumber (link to patron, FK)
- attribute (the value)
- password (password associated with value)

bug 2088: test suite refactoring to deal with t/override_context_prefs.pm
Some minor changes to get the test suite working a bit better:
I removed a superfluous method from t/lib/KohaTest.pm.
I made each barcode for the items added in KohaTest.pm unique so that they would actually get inserted.
Then, I removed t/override_context_prefs.pm. If you need that functionality, you're a database
dependent test and should be a module in t/lib.
So, I deleted all of the trivial .t tests that just 'use'd their modules and had no other
tests and replaced them with lib/KohaTest/*pm modules that do a little bit more checking
on those modules.
I removed the references to override_context_prefs.pm in all of the other .t modules.
They all pass now with no override_context_prefs.pm module.
The database_depenedent.pl test script still does not pass entirely. There's a problem with the zebra index
not being reset each time that the tables are truncated. I'll get to that.

This patch requires that the test database name be different from the production database name.
The object here is to prevent people from specifying the same database for both, and then

This may cause problems for people who want to do that, though I consider that bad practice.
It may also cause problems for people if they have two different servers, each with identically
named database, and they want to use one for testing and the other for production. If we ever
find that someone like that exists, we can deal with that case.
I don't think there are any necessary documentation changes here yet since we're recommending

kohabug 2076 - remove three tables (DB rev 077)
Removed the categorytable, mediatypetable, and subcategorytable
tables. These three tables appear to be from an incomplete
patch from pre-git that defined these tables to implement
additional search limits, and are not present in the 2.2.9
package. In 3.0, these tables did nothing - the only code that
referred to them are incomplete admin editors that lack HTML
templates and are not referred to anywhere.
The updatedatabase.pl logic to remove these tables is conservative;
the tables are dropped only if they exist and are all empty. Effectively,
this means that they'll be dropped if you've been running a fresh install
of 3.0 from git or the alphas or betas; if you've upgraded your database
from 2.2.9, these tables likely weren't in your database to begin with.

added three tables to kohastructure.sql
tags_all, tags_approval, tags_index; for those tracking
git HEAD, these were already added via updatedatabase.pl
DB rev 073, so there's no DB bump for this patch.
This is a partial, perhaps temporary fix. "<", ">",
and "&" characters in patron comments (AKA reviews)
are converted to "<", ">", and "&" to avoid
certain attacks, e.g., a user entering a <script> tag
in a comment.
A more permanent fix should scrub all (or perhaps just
unsafe) tags from submitted comments entirely.
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
* 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:
[1] When running the database-dependent tests (cd t, make test),
all tables in the test database are dropped prior to running
the installer and test cases. This means that the test
database will start with a clean slate.
[2] It is now possible to specify a single test class to run,
to avoid having to run all of them:
KohaTest->reindex_marc() does a full Zebra reindexing of
bib and authority records and clears zebraqueue. It is
meant for use in test classes that do a lot of bib, authority,
and/or item record changes that would be slowed down by
waiting for zebraqueue_daemon.
Also adjusted list of tables that are automatically truncated.
