[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Creating a report template with true/false values hardcoded

Hi again fellow Evergreen users~ It occurs to me that I didn't give you
enough information in my email about the report I am trying to create. What
I need is a way to get the report to list all items that were not checked in
or out on or before a certain date. I can make a list of items that were; it
would be very long and useless. So I really need two things: How do I add
'false' to my checked in and checked out dates; and how can I put an 'or'
between the checked in date and the checked out date fields so the report
will count both of them as present in the library. Thanking you for you
help. ~Reba

I am trying to create a report template. I want to hardcode a true/false
value into the report and I can't seem to find instructions on how to do
that. Will someone please help me? Thanks ~ Reba

Once you've picked your library, run a search. The URL will change to
something like
http://evergreen.library.beau.org/opac/en-US/skin/lul/xml/rresult.xml?rt=key
word&tp=keyword&t=jazz&l=103&d=2&f=

The key GET param you're interested in is the "l" parameter - which
stands for "library". This specifies the ID of the library found in the
actor.org_unit table to which you want to scope your search. However,
you can see that value in the URL so you don't need to look in the
database for this one.

Assuming that the value in your case is "l=102", you can provide links
to
http://evergreen.library.beau.org/opac/en-US/skin/craftsman/xml/index.xml?l=
102
to start patrons at the right search scope. In our case, we redirect
patrons from various subdomains (like "laurentian.concat.ca" and
"windsor.concat.ca") to the full URL including the "l" parameter
appropriate for the scope of each library.

Hopefully this helps.

Thank you.  This sounds like exactly what we needed.

Vicki,

You can also add the IP range of each library to a file on the server in
/openils/conf (assuming you added the "--sysconfdir=/openils/conf" parameter
in the "./configure" step during installation) called "lib_ips.txt".  There
is a "lib_ips.txt.example" file in a default installation that you can
rename to "lib_ips.txt" and add your libraries' IP ranges in the format
<shortname> <start IP> <end IP>.  The example setting in
"lib_ips.txt.example" is

MY-LIB 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.254

Where MY-LIB is the value in actor.org_unit.shortname for the library with
that IP range.

Then, in /etc/apache2/startup.pl, you'll see this:

# - Uncoment the following 2 lines to make use of the IP redirection code
# - The IP file should to contain a map with the following format:
# - actor.org_unit.shortname <start_ip> <end_ip>
# - e.g.  LIB123 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.254

#use OpenILS::WWW::Redirect qw(/openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml);
#OpenILS::WWW::Redirect->parse_ips_file('/openils/conf/lib_ips.txt');

If you uncomment the two lines and restart apache, your OPACs should
automagically redirect to their default location.  Hope that helps too!
