Jason and I have been batting code back and forth for the last couple of weeks to provide an API and CLUMP interface to adding and removing people from usergroups. \u00a0We’ve gone through several iterations of designs and implementations and now have something that seems to be working OK on our development installation – hopefully soon to appear on the demo sandbox (unless Gary decides that he wants it to work in a different way! \ud83d\ude09 ).<\/p>\n
With that more or less done, and some POD documentation tweaks (‘cos I’d been doing a bit too<\/em> much cutting and pasting between scripts!), I can now go back to dealing with some of the backend management scripts. \u00a0The first two of these will be a simple link checker and a cron-able script to (re-)populate the “held by library” information. \u00a0Gary has a couple more reports that Library staff have asked for, but they might just require a couple of APIs to be produced to allow existing reporting systems to work (they weren’t part of the distributed LORLS code base – just local Loughborough reports).<\/p>\n Gary has presented the new system to several groups recently with mostly positive feedback. \u00a0We’ve just installed a link to this blog (and thus the demo sandbox system) into the live LORLS installation’s managelist script at Loughborough so that more academics will get a heads-up that something new is around the corner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jason and I have been batting code back and forth for the last couple of weeks to provide an API and CLUMP interface to adding and removing people from usergroups. \u00a0We’ve gone through several iterations of designs and implementations and now have something that seems to be working OK on our development installation – hopefully […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-669","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-lump","count-0","even alt","author-cojpk","last"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/lorls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/669","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/lorls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/lorls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/lorls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/lorls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=669"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/lorls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/669\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/lorls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=669"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/lorls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=669"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/lorls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=669"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
