[Koha] Script Modifications

[Larry Currie]

I am attempting to modify some of the Perl scripts in Koha so that they
conform to our local conditions.  In the moremember.pl script, for
instance, I have changed the ethnic classifications and I rewrote the
checkdigit subroutine to reflect the type of patron barcodes we use.
But I am not seeing these changes reflected in the koha intranet when I
attempt to register new patrons.  What do I need to do in order to have
these changes take effect?  I stopped and restarted the Apache server
thinking that this would do it, but to no avail.  The text of my changes
is given below.

Changes made to Perl script moremember.pl:

my %env;
print $input->header;
#start the page and read in includes
print startpage();
print startmenu('member');
my $data=borrdata('',$bornum);
my @temp=split('-',$data->{'dateenrolled'});
$data->{'dateenrolled'}="$temp[2]/$temp[1]/$temp[0]";
@temp=split('-',$data->{'expiry'});
$data->{'expiry'}="$temp[2]/$temp[1]/$temp[0]";
@temp=split('-',$data->{'dateofbirth'});
$data->{'dateofbirth'}="$temp[2]/$temp[1]/$temp[0]";
if ($data->{'ethnicity'} eq 'white'){
  $data->{'ethnicity'} = 'White';
}
if ($data->{'ethnicity'}eq 'black'){
  $data->{'ethnicity'} = 'Black';
}
if ($data->{'ethnicity'}eq 'american indian'){
  $data->{'ethnicity'} = 'American Indian';
}
if ($data->{'ethnicity'}eq 'asian and pacific islander'){
  $data->{'ethnicity'} = 'Asian and Pacific Islander';
}
print <<printend


Changes made to subroutine checkdigit in Input.pm:

sub checkdigit {
  my ($env,$infl) =  @_;
  $infl = uc $infl;
  my $sum1;
  my $sum2;
  my $sum3;
  my $i = 0;
  my $j = 1;
  my $valid = 0;
  #  print $infl."<br>";
  while ($i <14) {
    my $temp1 = substr($infl,$i,1);
    if ($temp1 = 0) {
       $temp1 = 0;
    } elsif ($temp1 = 1) {
       $temp1 = 2;
    } elsif ($temp1 = 2) {
       $temp1 = 4;
    } elsif ($temp1 = 3) {
       $temp1 = 6;
    } elsif ($temp1 = 4) {
       $temp1 = 8;
    } elsif ($temp1 = 5) {
       $temp1 = 0;
    } elsif ($temp1 = 6) {
       $temp1 = 3;
    } elsif ($temp1 = 7) {
       $temp1 = 5;
    } elsif ($temp1 = 8) {
       $temp1 = 7;
    } elsif ($temp1 = 9) {
       $temp1 = 9;
    $sum1 = $sum1 + $temp1;
#    print "$sum $temp1 $temp2<br>";
    $i = $i + 2;
  }
  while ($j < 13) {
    my $temp2 = substr($infl,$j,1);
    $sum2 = $sum2 + $temp2;
    $j = $j + 2;
  }
  $sum3 = $sum1 + $sum2;
  my $rem = 10 - ($sum3%10);
  }
  #print $rem."<br>";
  if ($rem eq substr($infl,13,1)) {
    $valid = 1;
  }
  return $valid;
}

END { }       # module clean-up code here (global destructor)
