# Turn On Import and Edit function for Chemical Containers

## Requirements

{% hint style="danger" %}

1. This for KV's OE version on or later than **March, 12, 2020.**
2. You must have server access
   {% endhint %}

## Overview

"**Import and Edit**" option is similar to previous version of **Import** in which it allows admin users to import: **chemical containers** ("packages"), **storages** list, **user** list, and **supplier offers**. For **chemical containers** ("packages"), this function will check if the database has the chemicals based on **provided barcode**. If the barcode is not found, it will add new container. If the barcode is found, it will change the provided info for that container.

"**Import Only**": only allow importing of **chemical containers** **AND** it will **NOT** check for existing container.

Right now, this function will only turned on for MIT and Baylor University.

## Instruction to turn on this function

* To add your own institution, you need:
  1. Creating `lib_customization.your-school-name.php` with *your-school-name* is short or abbreviation of your school name. Use `lib_customization.mit.php` for an example
  2. Add the following line inside `lib_customization.your-school-name.php` after `$default_g_settings["order_system"]="fundp";`:

     ```php
      /* Khoi: add customization identifier so that codes specific for your-school-name will be execute. Only change if you know what you are doing */
      $default_g_settings["customization"]="your-school-name";
     ```
  3. Modify `lib_global_settings.php` by:
     * Change this: `define("customization",""); // Customization to use: f.e.: ".sample" for use of "lib_customization.sample.php", and "" for "lib_customization.php"`
     * To: `define("customization",".your-school-name"); // Customization to use: f.e.: ".sample" for use of "lib_customization.sample.php", and "" for "lib_customization.php"`. Notice there is a **period** (**.**) in front of "your-school-name".
  4. Modify `sidenav.php` by:
     * Right before this line: `showSideLink(array("url" => "import_edit.php","text" => s("import_edit_tab_sep"), "target" => "mainpage", ));`. On this line: `if (in_array($g_settings["customization"], array("baylor", "mit"), true)) {` add `"your-school-name"` (the same as "your-school-name" set in `lib_customization.your-school-name.php`) right at the end of the array list of institutions. For example:

       ```php
       if (in_array($g_settings["customization"], array("baylor", "mit", "your-school-name", ), true)) {
       ```
