---- Reported by ata.rehman@gmail.com 2009-08-10 13:04:58 ----

Sir/Madam

I was looking for some way to put the picture of my patron / students in OPAC.  I just talked to Ms Nicole and she suggested to submit this issue at bugzilla.

The script devel/misc/testbugzillapatches.pl has detected that this bug does not apply anymore, so i'm marking this bug as "does not apply".

The script is supposed to handle conflicts related to updatedatabase, but no other cases of merge conflict. So the conflict may be trivial to fix.

If it happens that the patch attached does apply cleanly, please send me an email, there's something wrong in the script. It's possible, as it's a recent script.
If the patch applies does not apply as I think, please rebase and resubmit, thanks

[SIGNED-OFF] Bug 3516 [REVISED] Display picture of patrons in OPAC

This patch adapts the patron image display script from the
self-checkout module to optionally display the image of the
logged-in user on their personal information page (opac-userupdate.pl).
The script changes the method choosing which image to display
from using a passed cardnumber to using the borrowernumber of
the logged-in user.

A system preference is added, OPACpatronimages, to control
whether these images are displayed.

Signed-off-by: Katrin Fischer <Katrin.Fischer.83@web.de>
Verified that patron image shows only when system preference is turned on
and that there are no display problems for patrons without patron image.
Comment 7 Marcel de Rooy 2012-02-27 08:47:53 UTC
Code looks good. Setting status to Passed QA.
My only remark would be that GetPatronImage is called twice and this probably could be done differently. In opac-userupdate the image is collected, but the only thing done is setting a flag. In the template, GetPatronImage is called the second time when the flag is set.
Comment 8 Paul Poulain 2012-02-27 12:35:32 UTC
2 questions before pushing this patch:
* is the syspref really needed ? If the librar(ian) take a picture of someone, then -at least in France-, it's asked by the law to give someone access to this information. I also can't see a use case where we would like to have it not displayed.

* in the templates, there is a hardcoded style:
<p style="border:1px solid #EEE;padding:1em;">
there should not be here, right ?

I could see a library deciding that it increased concern about what data is available on in-library OPACs when a patron hasn't properly logged out. I think it would be much safer to keep the preference.

I sometimes use an inline style for something which is unique, but I see that it might present an obstacle for customization. I can submit a follow-up to move it to opac.css.

I'm not really convinced by this argument, but i'll accept it.
There's another reason why it would be usefull: some libraries may not want to have images displayed after upgrading because some pictures maybe ... how to say ... not the real one, risking to upset the patron...

please do (no need to change the bug status, i'll take care of the follow-up)
Comment 11 Marcel de Rooy 2012-02-27 14:30:24 UTC
If you do not want to show pictures, you should not upload them. When not logging out, the information on personal details is more sensitive than the picture (address, birth date, etc.)
How would a "funny" picture come up after an upgrade?

Is the system preference really such a problem?

A patron might feel that the combination of their photo + their personal details is more sensitive than just their personal details.
Comment 13 Katrin Fischer 2012-02-27 14:52:18 UTC
I think there might be different use cases here and different laws. 
I think a system preference is a good idea to add enough flexibility.
Comment 14 Chris Cormack 2012-02-27 18:23:15 UTC
+1 for the syspref from me too. If a hosted Library wants to switch this off for whatever reason (and who are we to decide what are valid reasons?) They don't have access to the file system to go deleting files.

You know, I'm a founder and member of AROSS (Association for Removal of Superfluous Systempreferences), so i'm always wondering when I see a new one. Because the more there are, the hardest it is for a newbie to find find core things. I think/feel it could be usefull to separate "central" systempreferences from "secondary" ones.
For example IndependantBranches is a major one, the one introduced in this patch is a secondary one.

but that's another topic, let's go with this new one.

please, submite a follow-up for this, I'll push the patch.

Bug 3516 [FOLLOW-UP] Display picture of patrons in OPAC

    This patch moves inline CSS to opac.css following QA comments.
    Doing so improves users ability to customize the affected
    markup with custom CSS.
