Description Viktor Sarge 2015-05-22 19:29:07 UTC
I can not seem to get extended patron attributes from GetPatronInfo. I propose we add this as an optional parameter (default 0) to ILS-DI GetPatronInfo. 

( The use case that triggered this idea was letting people into the library after hours by logging in. We'd then use AuthenticatePatron to log them in and then look at a yes/no flag for those who are trusted to use the after hours service. This flag is coming from a extended patron attribute, but without a clean way to check it this will not work. )

Just 2 notes for now:
- we need to update the documentation
- there is a typo hiding somewhere:    
  FAIL	  spelling
  comparision  ==> comparison

[PASSED QA] Bug 14257 - Add show_attributes to GetPatronInfo

This patch adds the ability to query the extended patron
attributes via the ILSDI web service's GetPatronInfo service.

Example: ilsdi.pl?service=GetPatronInfo&patron_id=3&show_attributes=1

A new element <attributes> will be added if there
are any attributes available from the database.

We need to discuss the security implications of showing the
attributes. At present it will allow querying of non-public
(OPAC-visible) information. We might want to change this.

Test plan:

* Configure Koha to make use of extended attributes:
  Under 'Administration' -> 'Global system preferences' ->
  'Patrons' tab -> Set 'ExtendedPatronAttributes' to 'Enable',
  press save and switch to 'Web services' tab.

* Enable the ILS-DI service:
  Under 'Administration' -> 'Global system preferences' ->
  'Web services' tab -> 'ILS-DI' section:
  Set 'ILS-DI' to 'Enable' and save.

* Create an attribute to query:
  Under 'Administration' -> 'Patrons and circulation' ->
  'Patron attribute types' press 'New patron attribute type':
  Enter a type code, like 'DOORCODE', description and assign
  a category that your test patron is a member of, then save.

* Set value for test user:
  Locate the test patron, the new attribute should be listed
  under 'Additional attributes and identifiers'.
  Click 'Edit' and assign a value, like '1337' and save.

* Query the ILS-DI service:
  http://127.0.1.1/cgi-bin/koha/ilsdi.pl?service=GetPatronInfo&patron_id=1&show_attributes=1
  The output XML should have an element named 'attributes'
  containing the data you entered.

Pushed to Master - Should be in the May 2016 release.  Thanks!
Comment 15 Jonathan Druart 2018-07-12 20:47:30 UTC
I am currently working on moving this code the Koha namespace and I do not understand what is needed exactly here.

So far we have:
<attributes>
  <code>xxx</code>
  <value>1</value>
  <class/>
  <value_description>Damaged</value_description>
  <description>pouet peout</description>
  <display_checkout>0</display_checkout>
</attributes>

Maybe we just need a couple variable=value, right?
