## Preamble
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
BiblioMx, despite being a pretty common library management software, saves data in custom binary files, and only allows to export data to CSV.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is the major limitation that this project tries to address.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Components
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Server
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The server receives a CSV (trough chunking, if necessary) and concerts it into a sqllite database.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The PHP application provides a Web UI for searching and viewing books, including bibliographical data and availability
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Agent
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The agent must be set to boot hidden at the start of the computer (functionality not included int the code)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``biblio.ini`` must be configured with the correct information, under the ``[DATA]`` section:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| Key | Value |
|
||
|
|
| ---- | ----- |
|
||
|
|
|databasePath|The path to the xbb database|
|
||
|
|
|csvPath|The path to the csv export file|
|
||
|
|
|serverUrl|The URL to ``up.php``|
|
||
|
|
|authCode|The authentication code for that server instance|
|
||
|
|
|significance|The number of action that must be taken before the server shall be synced again|
|
||
|
|
|verbose|Show verbose output|
|
||
|
|
|updateUserWait|After prompting the user to update the CSV, how much time (s) to wait before moving on and uploading the file, starts after pressing "OK"|
|
||
|
|
|chunkSize|Chunk size (rows) for uploading the CSV|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once the librarian performs a set number of actions, they will be asked to export the database manually to a csv, then the agent will upload it accordingly
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The upload will also trigger the refresh of the sqllite database on the server when ended
