This patch adds a new column to koha_news that links a
borrowernumber to each item. This allows Koha to display the
author for each entry which makes it suitable as a simple CMS.
Changes (from rejected patch):
* Added missing kohastructure.sql changes.
* Turned the atomic update file into a SQL file and changed name
in accordance with wiki guidelines.
* Changed SQL syntax and naming to be consistent with existing code.
* Attached test plan to commit message.
Test plan:
* You need at least one news item, log in and add one from
'Administration' -> 'Tools' -> 'News'.
* Apply the patch.
* Apply database upgrade (directly or indirectly).
* Go back to Staff interface and post a new news item.
* Use the mysql command line client to connect to the Koha installation's database:
mysql -u kohaadmin -p -D koha (change username and database to values
appropiate for your system).
* Execute the following query: SELECT title, borrowernumber FROM opac_news;
* Inspect the results, the 'borrowernumber' column should be NULL for all news items
created before the patch was applied, and non-NULL for the new item created AFTER
the patch was applied.
Optional: Remove database changes via:
ALTER TABLE opac_news DROP FOREIGN KEY borrowernumber_fk;
ALTER TABLE opac_news DROP COLUMN borrowernumber;
