Description Chris Cormack 2010-05-20 23:39:24 UTC


---- Reported by oleonard@myacpl.org 2006-08-11 03:53:55 ----

When I try to upload patron images using the new import script, I get this error:

"This script is not able to write to the patronpictures holding directory."

This error would be much more helpful if it said specifically /where/ the patronpictures holding directory is, and what permissions it should have. If the Koha install script can't set this directory up with the proper permissions, instructions for doing so should be included in the instructions on the import page.

we also need to forward port the patronimages stuff to 3.0

for some reason, the patron images upload feature was summarily deleted from 3.0. I've added it back, but it needs testing. I've also noticed the feature has disappeared from circulation in 3.0 for some reason, it will need to be added back there as well.

OK, just forward-ported patron images stuff to 3.0, Owen, you'll have to make it prettier :-).

Downgrading this to an enhancement.

With the latest series of patches instructions are pretty clear now, and there's help available via the [?] -- you can also upload a single patron image for a single patron account, which doesn't require much in the way of instructions -- for these reasons, I'm closing this one out :)
