Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Removing Age Protection after expired
Instead of turning off age protect we modified the way the TPac displays the
message. We do some date math and adjust the message accordingly. Staff and
patrons get different messages since "Age Protect" is meaningless to a patron.
Our TPac is fairly heavily modified. Here is a code
snip(opac/parts/record/copy_table.tt2):
138 [%- IF copy_info.age_protect AND copy_info.create_date;
139 create_date = date.format(ctx.parse_datetime(copy_info.create_date),
"%Y%m%d");
140 today = date.format(date.now, "%Y%m%d");
141
142 age_protect_age = ctx.get_crahp(copy_info.age_protect).age;
143
144 manip = date.manip;
145 expire_date = manip.DateCalc(create_date, age_protect_age.replace('mons',
'months'));
146 expire_date_format = manip.UnixDate(expire_date, DATE_FORMAT);
147 expire_date = manip.UnixDate(expire_date, "%Y%m%d");
148
149 expire_msg = '';
150 age_protect_is_active = 0;
151
152 IF today > expire_date;
153 date_color = 'green';
154 age_protect = l('Expired');
155 ELSE;
156 date_color = 'orange';
157 age_protect = l('Active');
158 expire_msg = expire_date_format;
159 age_protect_is_active = 1;
160 END ;
161 ELSE;
162 date_color = 'black';
163 age_protect = l('None');
164 expire_msg = '-';
165 age_protect_is_active = 0;
166 END;
167 %]
Then for staff:
168 [%- IF ctx.is_staff %]
169
170 [% age_protect | html %]
171 [% expire_msg | html %]

173 [%

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Asynchronous checkins
A few months ago our libraries were reporting the same issue under Evergreen 2.2.1. I was never able to reproduce the problem and it's been quiet for several weeks.

My understanding is that it allows staff to quickly check in items without waiting for a response from the server for each checkin. If it's used, does the system suppress transit slips and alerts? What happens if there is some disruption in the network connection and the checkin isn't ultimately successful? Will the system provide some kind of sign to that user that the checkin wasn't successful? Is there anyone who has been using it regularly and, if so, what has your experience been with it? Since one MassLNC consortium upgraded to 2.3, they have had repeated reports of items that were scanned in, but were ultimately never checked in. We haven't pinpointed it yet, but, in many cases when this report was made, the asynchronous checkbox was selected. I'm wondering if others have had a similar experience. Thanks for any insight you might be able to provide!

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Password reset uses phone number fails: EG2.2
Snip Because resetting someone's password to something that is basically public information, their phone number, is asking for accounts to be hijacked. If that is the case you could argue that the setting shouldn't exist in the first place. What is worse? A database full of users who have never changed their password from the default phone number or a few manually reset passwords?

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] ***SPAM*** Re: To Create a PHP client for OpenSRF and Evergreen
Would you mind if I create a evg_opensrf.inc file and move the definitions into it? That would help me get a better view of the drupal hooks without being overwelmed by the EG ASI right off the bat. Sure, that sounds fine. I would also like to volunteer to work on the naming of the containing folder, and module functions such that they all match the module name a little closer. That's fine as well. Sounds like we need a git repo. Do I understand that your Drupal link is the actor.usr.id == drupal.users.uid? Is that correct? Not quite. I create a evergreen_users table in Drupal that maps actor.usr.id to drupal.users.uid. You can still create Drupal users and I didn't want the two to collide. Is there any danger of this link being broken from the Evergreen side beyond Drupal's control? For instance, in the case where the EG user is deleted/blocked via the staff client in Evergreen what is the Drupal experience? I haven't tested every case but the link seems pretty solid. The authentication is done against Evergreen so if Evergreen says the ID does not exist then the logon is not allowed. There is some wonkyness with username. Evergreen user jaybird can logon with jaybird or their card number. This creates a cosmetic issue that I cover up with the realname and profile modules. Thanks, Steve Wills P.S.
