[Koha] Improving permissions on lists (virtual shelves)

[Marcel de Rooy]

Hi all,
Following up on the discussion on list permissions in December, I updated the wiki page http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/List_permissions and submitted the first patches for report 7310 (http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7310)

These first patches form the foundation for further changes but still stay very close to current functionality.

One new point (not discussed before): While developing and refactoring some code, I removed the increasing lists information from session storage. This simplified the code, makes the sessions much smaller, ensures actual list information and did not make a big difference in performance (depending on factors as session count, number of lists, etc.; could even be faster).

Next step in the development is now test and sign-off. Anyone willing is welcome to test! A detailed test plan is included on the report and on the wiki.

Hope to hear from you!

Marcel
