[Koha] Problems when setting permissions to patrons

[Igor Milhit]

Hi everyone,

I’m testing Koha locally, on my laptop running Debian Jessie. I followed
the installations instructions for Debian on the wiki :
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian

I’m using the stable release which is the 3.20.04.

After logging in with the database user, I created a library, some item
types, patrons categories, and patrons. First, I created two of them,
both of the staff type. And the I wanted to set permissions to one of
them (superlibrarian).

But when I’m clicking on the “set permissions” button (or link), I get a
page without permissions to set, but a “save” button :
http://id-libre.org/cloud/index.php/s/MYZyY6IMUkrjUTr (french interface)
http://id-libre.org/cloud/index.php/s/8rutOXX4xArNgH2 (english interface)

In the |/var/log/koha/[library]/intranet-error.log| I could read errors
like this one : |member-flags.pl: Use of uninitialized value $roadtype
in concatenation (.) or string at
/usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/members/member-flags.pl line 176|

Searching Google with this information got me this bug :
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14136 I’ve
tried the patch,but with no result.

Asking for help through IRC, I’ve been advised to set some authorized
value to the ROADTYPE category. I did, then edited the patrons with this
new value, without succes. Then I tried to create a new user with the
minimal informations, as I’ve been advised though IRC, to log out and
in, and to set the permissions of this new user, but still, an empty
page. Then I tried to delete all my patrons, to log out and in, recreate
a very simple staff one, and to set his permissions… with the same empty
result.

As suggested through IRC, I checked in About Koha > System Information,
and found no relevant message there.

Any help is welcome !

Of course, I’ll give all needed further information…

Thanks.
