---- Reported by tonnesen@cmsd.bc.ca 2002-07-10 04:24:48 ---- ---- Additional Comments From micheas@micheas.dyns.net 2002-07-11 17:54:41 ---- From an admins point of view, the ideal would be to have the list of servers stored as a flat text file in /etc/koha/ so that commandline Junkies, like myself can edit the list with vim and cat the list to mail and all sorts of other mundane admin tasks. But this more of an enhancement than a bug. Thanks. ---- Additional Comments From tonnesen@cmsd.bc.ca 2002-07-11 18:03:26 ---- I was under the impression that it might be _librarians_ and not _technicians_ that will be setting and editing Z39.50 servers. I certainly agree it would be a whole lot easier for me to just create a section of koha.conf for z39.50 servers or something like that, but the librarians might prefer it to be editable in the web interface? ---- Additional Comments From micheas@micheas.dyns.net 2002-07-11 18:39:43 ---- I was hoping for both :-) I was thinking that the webpage would read and write to the file. ---- Additional Comments From am12@bolis.com 2002-07-12 02:18:58 ---- Commandline junkies should be able to run mysql -uUSER -pPASS Koha <<END select * into outfile '/tmp/z3950servers' from z3950servers; END from their script. Let's keep the application consistent, and all data in the database. The only thing that should be in /etc/koha.conf is minimal bootstrap info to find the code and database. All other operational data should be in the DB. ---- Additional Comments From am12@bolis.com 2002-07-12 02:24:57 ---- Better yet, the new code hopefully will have some new subroutines in C4::Z3950.pm along the lines of addz3950server, getz3950serverlist, etc. Please? A command-line junkie should be able to have/create/use a 5-line wrapper script to those. And this way the command-line script will work with both MySQL and PostgreSQL. ---- Additional Comments From micheas@micheas.dyns.net 2002-07-12 06:04:30 ---- I have an active firewall so I will need to see the portnumbers to punch holes for z3950 servers on odd ports (it almost seems that people use a random number generator to pick there port number instead of port 210) having the portnumbers in a flat file is just easier than getting the info from mysql. I'm pretty low on the people to make life easy for :-) Thanks for taking note. ---- Additional Comments From tonnesen@cmsd.bc.ca 2002-10-26 07:30:09 ---- Added --- Bug imported by chris@bigballofwax.co.nz 2010-05-20 23:26 UTC --- This bug was previously known as _bug_ 67 at http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=67 Actual time not defined.
