Description Katrin Fischer 2013-09-10 13:14:17 UTC
Created attachment 20955 [details]

We can now prevent patrons from adding public lists, but the interface in the OPAC still shows the pulldown with only 'Private' in that case and also permissions that don't make sense as long as user's can't share lists or work on public lists created from the OPAC together.

I can't reproduce this error. Can you tell me the steps you're following? Does it only happen in one theme?
Comment 6 Marcel de Rooy 2014-02-07 08:29:31 UTC
Tested in bootstrap.
Enable pref, create new public list in opac.
Disable pref. Edit same list in opac and Save.
Public list is now a private list..
(This is new behavior; tested it too without the patch.)

I see the problem, but this presents an interesting question... If you have changed your library policy to disallow creation of public lists should it be possible for the general public to keep a list public?

Good point. If you decide to disallow creation, you should probably also think at that moment about what you are doing with the lists made. (In the ideal situation, changing the pref should trigger such an action?) I think it should not depend on if a user edits his public list sometime after that..
So on the balance, I would stick to keeping it in the same category. (I understand that your patch does that now. I will check later.)
Comment 10 Marcel de Rooy 2014-02-07 20:47:49 UTC
Checking this patch, there is still another small issue:
If the preference is disabled, and I view Public lists, there still is a button New list. This will create a new private list. This is somewhat confusing. Could we not better remove the button New list here?

Since it always defaults to Private list (also when I click New list coming from Public lists), I would just leave it that way on second thought.
Will sign off now.

I found another edge case with the current patch:

- patron creates public list
- OpacAllowPublicListCreation is turned off
- patron has no way to change the list to be private

I'm about to attach a follow-up that fills that gap, with the follow-up, a patron will be able to make there list private.  Per a discussion on #koha, I'm leaving it to Owen to style the warning message that is part of the follow-up.

Setting to in discussion pending review of my follow-up.

Owen: What is the exact 'procedure' when making changes now to css file or less file? Who compiles less to css? You did probably now..
Comment 20 Marcel de Rooy 2014-02-26 15:24:55 UTC
The text on the page now on bootstrap is so long actually that it wraps to the second line showing up not very nice. This pertains to the existing permissions line too..

Comment 29 Katrin Fischer 2014-03-16 18:55:26 UTC
Ok, I started testing this with all 4 patches applied. But I am confused - OpacAllowSharingPrivateLists is set to "Don't allow", but I can still see the additional options that refer to this feature on creating a new list from the patron account (bootstrap/prog)?

Options I talk about:
Allow/Don't allow
   anyone to remove his own contributed entries.
   anyone to remove other contributed entries. 

URL was:
   http://localhost/cgi-bin/koha/opac-shelves.pl?shelves=1

Only when I additionally turn off OpacAllowPublicListCreation the options disappear.

These options do not specifically refer to a shared list. They apply just as well to a public list.
Back to SO.
Comment 31 Katrin Fischer 2014-03-18 07:32:59 UTC
Hi Marcel,

I tend to disagree here and had a library reporting those as confusing. 

If you don't allow sharing, it would be a bit scary to me to be offered those options, leaving me wondering who else can see and change my list and if I misunderstood the feature offered by the library.

Comment 32 Katrin Fischer 2014-03-18 07:35:39 UTC
Hm ok, maybe I start to understand. There used to be 3 types of lists in the very past: private, public and open. I think we don't have open as an option in the pull down anymore... but you would be able to mimick the former behaviour with the new options? Maybe it would be clearer if they only showed up, once you have selected your list to be 'public'? Or the description could be changed/amended.

Hi Katrin.
Actually, this discussion should be held on report 7310, not here. This report is just a minor detail.
We now have private lists and public lists. With the permissions you can make your list "open" (allowing more flexibility than in the past, with less bugs :).
Note that the three permissions have been constructed in this way after discussions on the dev mailing list (and pushed in 3.8).

If the list is strictly private, the only useful perm is delete your own entries. You could protect yourself from incidentally deleting an item by disallowing that.

But note that if you would start sharing lists [new feature on report 9032] or already if a list changed from public to private etc., things may become more difficult. Still, the perms will just work as they advertise: The owner can always add. Somebody else can add if permitted (but only if he has access). Deleting can be controlled similarly. Due to such exceptions, I would not recommend hiding the three possible perms for private lists; you are not sure if all items on the list have been added by the owner.

Another thought: If you would change public to private, you could of course move all items to the owner of the list.. (New report ? )

There is a conflict in opac.css now - I am not sure how this needs to be resolved now with less - Owen, could you take a look please?

Created attachment 26934 [details] [review]
[PASSED QA] Bug 10865 [Revised] Don't show list permissions when adding public lists/sharing lists is not allowed

If patron creation of public lists is disallowed by the
OpacAllowPublicListCreation system preference the "category" option
should be hidden altogether instead of showing a <select> with "private"
as the only option. This patch hides category and permissions controls
when OpacAllowPublicListCreation is set to "don't allow."

To test you must have the virtualshelves system preference enabled.
Apply the patch and log into the OPAC. Test:

- With OpacAllowPublicListCreation enabled, create a new list. You
  should see options for setting category and permissions. Saving the
  new list should complete correctly and save the right settings.
- With OpacAllowPublicListCreation enabled, edit an existing list. You
  should see the same options and saving your changes should work
  correctly.
- With OpacAllowPublicListCreation disabled, create a new list. You
  should only see fields for title and sort. Saving this list should
  complete correctly and save the right settings.
- With OpacAllowPublicListCreation disabled, edit an existing list. You
  should be able to edit only title and sort settings. Saving your
  changes should work correctly.

Repeat your tests for both prog and bootstrap themes.

Revision: Existing public lists can be edited and retain their public
status even if OpacAllowPublicListCreation has since been disabled. This
preserves the behavior previous to this patch.

This patch fixes a big ergonomic issue.
Note: to me, the "New list" action should be outside the tabs.
It is confusing to have a "new list" into the public lists tab when it
is not possible to create new public lists.

[PASSED QA] bug 10865: (follow-up) allow patrons to make their public lists private when OpacAllowPublicListCreation is off

This patch ensures that patrons continue to have the ability to make
their public lists private for any public lists they control that were
created before the library turned the OpacAllowPublicListCreation
system preference off.

To test:

[1] Ensure OpacAllowPublicListCreation is on.
[2] As a patron, create a public list in the OPAC.  Also, create
    a private list.
[3] Turn OpacAllowPublicListCreation off.
[4] Back in the OPAC, verify that the public list can be edited
    and that there are drop-downs for category and permissions.
    Also verify that there is a warning that the patron cannot
    change it back if they convert a public list to private.
[5] Edit the private list created in step 2.  Verify that the
    category and permissions drop-downs are not displayed.

Passes all tests and QA script. Works as advertised.
Tested with Bootstrap and prog theme. Some notes:

- When OpacAllowPublicListCreation is turned off, the permissions
  don't show.
- When OpacAllowPublicListCreation is turned off, we could also hide
  the Category pull down in the [new list] pop up, as there is only
  Private left as an option.
- Maybe we should move the new list link outside of the tabs?
  When OpacAllowPublicListCreation is turned off, but public lists
  exist, the link 'new list' will still show on the public list tab,
  but a private list will be created.
