http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3508 Summary: Limit number of on-shelf holds per day Product: Koha Version: rel_3_0 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows 2000 Status: ASSIGNED Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 Component: Hold requests AssignedTo: kohaprogrammers(a)ptfs.com ReportedBy: jwagner(a)ptfs.com Estimated Hours: 0.0 Change sponsored?: Sponsored Sponsored by East Brunswick Public Library, East Brunswick, NJ, USA. If on-shelf holds are allowed, limit the number of on-shelf holds a patron can place in one day. Uses a new syspref MaxShelfHoldsPerDay to set that number. For example, if the number is set to 5, a patron can only place five holds in one day on titles with at least one item available. The patron can place additional holds on items that are currently checked out, and can place more on-shelf holds tomorrow. Library staff can override the limit in staff mode. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3472 Summary: Enhanced borrower notes Product: Koha Version: rel_3_0 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows 2000 Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 Component: Patrons AssignedTo: gmcharlt(a)gmail.com ReportedBy: jwagner(a)ptfs.com Estimated Hours: 0.0 Change sponsored?: Sponsored Created an attachment (id=976) --> (http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=976) Borrower message create screenshot Sponsored by East Brunswick Public Library, East Brunswick, NJ, USA and Middletown Public Library, Middletown, NJ, USA. Instead of using the staff/opac notes field in the patron record, this code uses a separate messaging system. It adds a new messages table and allows either free text or pre-defined notes to be added to patron record (for either library staff or patron). For predefined notes, create (if necessary) authorized value BOR_NOTES and add entries (examples: "Bring driver's license next time you come to the library" or "You left your umbrella at the library" etc.). On Checkout tab of patron record, click Add A New Message. Select from pulldown whether it's intended for patron or library staff. You can either use the pulldown for a canned message or enter text in the field. Notes to library staff will show up on patron Checkout tab; notes to patron will show in OPAC. When a message has been created, there will be a link next to it to delete it. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

However, if it's on, then the My Messaging tab automatically shows in the OPAC. I've added a syspref opacmsgtab. If it is turned off, then the My Messaging tab will not show in the OPAC user account. Also, the Items Borrowed Notifications and Items Returned Notifications section of the OPAC My Personal Details tab (with options for email and text message notifications) will not display. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 3514] New: Returning items through patron Details tab doesn't activate all circulation functions

http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3514 Summary: Returning items through patron Details tab doesn't activate all circulation functions Product: Koha Version: rel_3_0 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows 2000 Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 Component: Circulation AssignedTo: gmcharlt(a)gmail.com ReportedBy: jwagner(a)ptfs.com Estimated Hours: 0.0 Change sponsored?: --- Created an attachment (id=1018) --> (http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=1018) Display Return syspref off screenshot If you check in an item by using the Return boxes on the patron Details tab's list of checkouts, it does not seem to activate the same functionality that doing a return through Circulation, Checkin would. In particular, I've noticed that holds aren't triggered. I think the problem is due to different scripts driving the different pages -- members/moremember.pl controls functionality on patron Details, but circ/returns.pl controls circulation checkin. Any circ activity from the patron Details tab needs to obey all the rules that are checked and enforced through circulation scripts (anything to do with returns, renewals, and holds). As a workaround I have done a patch with a system preference (PatronDisplayReturn) which turns on or off the Returns column in the Details tab checkout list. This will force staff to use Circulation, Returns and will stop the problem of holds not being triggered. A more thorough investigation and fix is still needed. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 3507] New: Circ rules enhancements, maximum fine warning

http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3507 Summary: Circ rules enhancements, maximum fine warning Product: Koha Version: rel_3_0 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows 2000 Status: ASSIGNED Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 Component: Circulation AssignedTo: kohaprogrammers(a)ptfs.com ReportedBy: jwagner(a)ptfs.com Estimated Hours: 0.0 Change sponsored?: Sponsored Created an attachment (id=1013) --> (http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=1013) Composite circ rule screenshot Sponsored by East Brunswick Public Library, East Brunswick, NJ, USA. A combination of enhancements: 1. Circulation staff should have the ability to set maximum fines/fees, holds, etc by item type and borrower type, not just a system-wide setting. 2. Koha should not prompt to confirm checkout if amount owed is less than the maximum amount of fines allowed. 3. Allow staff to edit an existing circ rule, instead of deleting and creating new rule. Uses new sysprefs UseGranularMaxFines, UseGranularMaxHolds, WarnOnlyOnMaxFine. In circulation rules, set the maximum fine amount (the cap for fines to accrue on a particular patron/item combination). For example, if a fine for a book is 50 cents per day, and the max fine setting in the rule is $2.00, once an overdue book reaches $2.00 in fines it will not charge more than that amount even though it's kept out longer than four days. In circulation rules, set the maximum number of holds for the patron/item combination. For example, a Resident borrowing Books could be limited to 5 book holds, while a Resident borrowing DVDs could be limited to 2 DVD holds. A Nonresident could have different limits. If the WarnOnlyOnMaxFine syspref is turned on, the patron Checkout tab will show that fines are owed but will not require a "Checkout Anyway" click to continue with the checkout. To edit an existing circ rule, click the edit link next to the rule. That fills the data into the "add" line at the bottom of the page. Change values as needed, then save. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
