Hello all, On http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5636 Ian asked a question last month no-one answered. So I ask it here: > Style question to the community: should core pages in the staff client (like > tools/cleanborrowers.pl) have both a templated page in the staff client AND a > command-line presence, or should the commandline tool be a separate script in > misc/? > > At this time, there doesn't seem to be any precedent for inclusion in the core > script.

My answer is: * right, there is no precedent * This feature to clean borrowers from command line is highly useful : most libraries want to define a rule, and have it applied every week, through a cronjob. But some want to clean manually. So it's meaningful to have a script for both cases. * I think it's fair to have this script run from both, and it's better than having 2 scripts for that, it's easier to maintain * I think a few other script could usefully have the same feature : import_borrowers, batchMod (that does both mod and deletion of items), and that's probably all.
So, overally, my choice is : let the need decide. If it's useful for some, do it, but double check for security issues. -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08 _______________________________________________ Koha-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
