Description Nick Clemens 2018-12-21 19:06:35 UTC
NoRenewalBeforePrecision was introduced in bug https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14395 but did not recieve a default value

When not set the pref dropdown default to 'date' however, the behaviour if unset matches 'exact time'

We should set it to 'exact time' by default since it is the default behaviour

Bug 22044: Set default and add NoRenewalBeforePrecision preference for new/affected installs

I am not sure the correct answer - for upgraded installs the pref was
set to date, which changed behaviour

For new installs the pref was unset, behaved as if 'exact_time' so we
shouldn't change behaviour?

If the perceived default is date then the code should be changed, or
this shouldn't be a pref at all?

To test:
1 - Have a new system missing this pref
2 - Note when searchign the pref in staff client if appears as 'date'
3 - Check the db to confirm value is 'NULL'
4 - Apply patch and run update
5 - Pref is now set to 'exact_time'

Hi Nick,

I'm in the process of testing your patch, and am stuck at step 3 - check db to confirm value is 'NULL'. Probably because I'm a newbie, but I can't locate the NoRenewalBeforePrecision that you mention in the systempreferences table to check that it has the value of NULL. The system preference does show up in the staff client. Am I missing something?

> 3 - Check the db to confirm value is 'NULL'

I am guessing that this is instructing us to check whether the preference is actually in the database, rather than whether it's value cell is set to null. If this is the case, I am able to sign off as the test plan results were as expected.

'NoRenewalBefore' should be 'NoRenewalBeforePrecision'

Sorry Nick, the syspref description still references NoRenewalBefore rather than NoRenewalBeforePrecision. Not a big deal so I'll leave as signed off, but would be good for consistency.

Not sure if this is a reference to the syspref or to the feature.
Anyway, description in atomic update should match the one in sysprefs.sql

I am referring to your INSERT statement in the sysprefs.sql:

313 
('NoRenewalBeforePrecision','exact_time','date|exact_time','Calculate NoRenewalBefore based on date only or exact time of due date','Choice'),

It should read 'Calculate NoRenewalBeforePrecision based on...'

Like I say, not a big deal, but would be good for consistency
Comment 11 Katrin Fischer 2019-04-16 22:12:08 UTC
I am with Hayley, NoRenewalBefore is not a thing, the column in sysprefs is labelled "No renewal before" - I'll put forward a follow-up patch :)
