[Koha] Koha Digest, Vol 142, Issue 41

Mon Aug 21 19:06:58 NZST 2017

Hi Katrin,

I have tried to use the koha-rebuild-zebra -v -f $(koha-list) and I got some errors. However, if I do koha-rebuid-zebra -v  $(koha-list) leaving out -f it runs. Sometimes it  works and sometime it does not work. Possibly the problem could be file permissions. Which directories/files are involved in the index process and what permissions should they have?

Best Regards,

Admire.

Hi,

using Agerestriction is a good idea, but at the moment it will only prevent Circulation. Koha doesn't have a mechanism to control access to linked files. As Eric pointed out there are several problems to consider there and it will require an external solution to Koha.

Hope that helps,

Katrin

Hi Mark,

holds information is stored differently in every ILS and at the moment 
there exists no generic tool to import holds into Koha. For a migration 
you could try to map the data you get out of Mandarin to the columns in 
Koha's reserves table and then use a script or SQL to fill it. It can be 
useful to place a few different holds in Koha first to see what data is 
required/set by Koha itself.

Hope this helps,

Katrin

That'd be an interesting feature for someone to sponsor.

It would require doing permission checks in Koha::UploadedFile(s).

Not sure if muffling AgeRestriction into UploadedFiles is a good idea. A solution to restrict access to uploads for selected users should be broader than that imo.

I wouldn't propose such a thing!
What I meant is a permissions checking layer for UploadedFile(s), be it
borrower category-wise or similar.

Thank you.  That makes sense, and I was already thinking of doing
something like this.  But there aren't a large number of holds, and it
might be less time-consuming to enter them manually than to study the
database tables and write the script.

Hi Admire,

I think you could maybe write a plugin to achieve this, but at the same 
time I would strongly recommend figuring out the source of your problem 
as this should not be necessary. Could it be that the permissions on the 
index files are not correct? I notice you are using the rebulid_zebra.pl 
script instead of using the package command
koha-rebuld-zebra -f <instance>

Hope that helps,

Katrin
