• Add: option for borrowing of chemicals by users from outside of the group (guests)

  • Details: The idea is each group should have one ‘user’ account designated for external users (users from outside of the group, guests). When someone outside of the group comes and borrows a chemical containers, this account barcode should be scanned and following by the container barcode. This specific account (made by turning on a specific permission setting External borrow in Predefined permission) is set so that during checking out of a chemical container by this account, a pop-up window would open and ask for the specific info (borrower’s name, group, contact info, and the group member assisting during checkout). This info is then saved into the history entry of that exact checkout event.

  • To use this function:

    1. Create a new user, some thing like ‘guests_<database_name>’ for example.

    2. While creating this user, choose the following ‘External borrow’ in the ‘Predefined permissions’

​

3. Use this new account in the OE barcode terminal. During checkout, a popup window like this should open to ask for more info:

• Fix: typo cause PHP Warning "Illegal String offset"

• Fix: error in "Import and Edit" chemical containers where it rejects containers without CAS and name even if barcode existed.

2020-03-12:

• Fix for search by container barcode for customized barcode starts with '2'. Why: some users has reported in the case of customized chemical barcodes, for example '10001' or '11345' or '22069'. When searching using barcodes, all of those starts with '1' works fine but those starts with '2' don't return the correct result. This is because the automatically generated barcode by OE starts with '2' and in the code, all search query for barcode starts with '2' will be modified

• Add "Import and Edit" and "Import Only" options in the Settings menu for admin roles.

  • "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.

  • 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";:

        /* 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:

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