Description Julian FIOL 2015-08-21 14:41:50 UTC
This patch avoid issues with Hea.
With Bug 14608 we add UsageStatsCountry and UsageStatsLibraryType in the stats for Hea (http://hea.koha-community.org/).
But if this 2 syspref are free text, we could have some syntax issues.
(ex : US / United States / USA will be count in 3 different country)
This patch is supposed to normalize the country and type possibilities.

The default choice for UsageStatsLibraryType and UsageStatsCountry is 'empty'
    
Test Plan
---------
    
1. Create a new Koha install
2. Go to the 'Administration' page
3. Go to 'Global system preferences'
4. Go to 'Administration'
5. At the end of this page you should see a dropdown menu for
    - UsageStatsCountry with all countries
    - UsageStatsLibraryType with all type of library
    They both should be empty by default.

Comment 2 Tomás Cohen Arazi 2015-08-21 14:47:05 UTC
Is it a good idea to have a country dropdown?
Comment 3 Julian FIOL 2015-08-24 08:08:13 UTC
Hi Tomás, 

We need to standardize users answers for 'country' and 'type' to avoid Hea issues. 

Why do you think a country dropdown would be a bad idea ?

Do you have another solution in mind ?

Thanks
Comment 4 Katrin Fischer 2015-09-01 19:40:48 UTC
Hm, UsageStatsLibraryType already is a drop down, without this patch for me? 
I am also a bit worried about the country, because how complete of a list can we get and where?

Probably an error in the commit message, the patch only adds en empty choice for UsageStatsLibraryType

Even if we can't be sure we have the exhaustive list of countries, I think it is still better than having all possible forms of USA counted as different countries, not to mention spelling mistakes.
Comment 6 Katrin Fischer 2015-09-02 07:18:07 UTC
I have to admit... I don't see a better solution :) Translating all those countries is a bit of a scary thought tho...
Comment 7 Mark Tompsett 2015-09-09 04:14:48 UTC
There is no atomic update perl script which attempts to match the list to ensure it is in the drop down data set, because an upgrade won't necessarily be in the list. Isn't this a problem?

Comment 9 Katrin Fischer 2015-11-18 21:46:20 UTC
Hm, wondering:

1) The changes for the library type don't match up:
societyAssoc: "society or association"
vs
societyAssociation

2) How can we handle installations that already have the preference set up, but the setting doesn't match one of the provided countries?

3) Please correct bug title and commit message - UsageStatsLibraryType already is a pull down on master.
Comment 10 Jonathan Druart 2016-09-14 09:58:20 UTC
I am going to work on this one.

Question regarding translating:

Should the translations keep the English names?

Trinidad & Tob. -- why not Tobago in full?
CZ and GR were mapped to words. -- Why not "{description} ({code})"?
In fact, why not everything just {code}?

Why isn't the system preferences the code, and the pref file the one with the '{code}: "{description} ({code})"'?

The description and code will make it easier to switch when dealing with a foreign UI language. There is nothing worse than changing your language in your electronics and not being able to figure out how to get back to the one you understand, because you can't read it.

I think perhaps this should be a follow up bug?
