https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=31572 Bug ID: 31572 Summary: E-mail and SMS verification Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 21.11 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Patrons Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: cbrannon(a)cdalibrary.org QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt(a)gmail.com, kyle.m.hall(a)gmail.com I believe Koha has a basic level of e-mail verification with patrons that self register, but it would be helpful if there were a verification method for e-mail and SMS on both staff and patron sides. The idea is, that when an e-mail address or SMS number is entered by staff or patron, there would be a button next to each that would say something like 'Verify'. Staff or patron would click the button, and a link is sent to the e-mail address or number with an explanation (instantly, not through a queue). If the patron clicks the link within a specified amount of time, the button next to that address or number goes away, replaced by the word 'Verified!'. Until the number or address is verified, notices will not go through that method. Notices would only go out through methods that are setup and verified. A step further would be to have another button next to it on the staff side that would be something like 'Re-verification Request'. If staff get bounced e-mails or texts, it would put the address or phone number back to a verification needed mode, and stop all notifications through that method until verified again. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 30166] New: SMS Number

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30166 Bug ID: 30166 Summary: SMS Number Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Patrons Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: cbrannon(a)cdalibrary.org QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt(a)gmail.com, kyle.m.hall(a)gmail.com Having worked with two variations of SMS Delivery, I think we could simplify SMS setup for the staff/patron. Instead of just filling in a phone number, what if the SMS number gave the following options: 1) Use the primary number 2) Use the secondary number 3) Provide a unique number. The third option could reveal a new text box to put a number in. Honestly though, I think we could get by with just using the primary or secondary number fields. I also think that in the SMS setup, you could select from popular services, and have Koha format the number as needed. If using e-mail, it strips out all non-numbers and checks that the number is the correct length. If Twilio, it makes sure number is stripped of non-numbers and +1 or whatever is added to the beginning. Since different countries have different formats, and phone numbers can be entered in various ways, maybe we could have a custom regex entered to reformat according to your specific uses. The approach that we currently use here is that we have an example format in the SMS number field, and I created an icon to copy the primary phone number, stripping non-numbers and adding a +1 to the beginning. I added another icon to clear the field. It has improved the process vastly. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

Koha will still generate a print notice when SMS is selected in overdue notice/status triggers and a patron does not have an smsalertnumber. It would be nice if there was an SMS equivalent system pref like 'SMSOverduesNoSMS' -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

[Bug 27648] New: Add itemnumber as an option for moving/attaching an item from one bib to another

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=27648 Bug ID: 27648 Summary: Add itemnumber as an option for moving/attaching an item from one bib to another Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 20.05 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Cataloging Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: barbara.johnson(a)bedfordtx.gov QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: m.de.rooy(a)rijksmuseum.nl When moving an item or order to another bib you must enter the barcode of the item in "attach item." We have found this to be problematic for some items because they are ones that are still on order so they don't have barcodes yet. This means we have to add a barcode to the item record in order to move it. It could be for something we haven't even received yet so we have to add it in order to move it and then delete the barcode because when we do receive it there will be a different barcode attached to it by the vendor. It would be very helpful if we could also use the itemnumber as a way to move the item. It already exists and would be a much more efficient way of performing this function. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

The URL of the page that shows the error looks like this: http://localhost:8081/cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/item-export.pl?format=barcodes… etc etc The solution is probably to do a POST, not a GET?
