I'm proposing adding a new script which will update the bib records from its linked authorities. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=37918 Bug ID: 37918 Summary: Properly encode email subjects in mailto: links Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Templates Assignee: oleonard(a)myacpl.org Reporter: katrin.fischer(a)bsz-bw.de QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org There are some places in Koha where we use mailto: links with a subject line. An example is the email link added by bug 36595. I believe we need to take a closer look at making sure we are encoding the subject line correctly. Also need to make sure to not include untranslatable and therefore hardcoded bits into the subject messages. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 33222] New: Checkin message does not display when book is overdue and borrower has manual restriction

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=33222 Bug ID: 33222 Summary: Checkin message does not display when book is overdue and borrower has manual restriction Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 21.11 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Circulation Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: janet.mcgowan(a)ptfs-europe.com QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt(a)gmail.com, kyle.m.hall(a)gmail.com Overview: When a borrower with a manual restriction returns an overdue item the returns.pl page displays the checked in items table showing the summary of returned items but there is no Check in message displayed indicating that the borrower has a restriction. If the same restricted patron returns an item that is not overdue you see the Check in message indicating "Reminder: Patron has an indefinite restriction." (or Reminder: Patron was earlier restricted until 31/03/2023. - if the patron is restricted to a specific date). Steps to Reproduce: User has 1 overdue item (I used special due date to set to date in the past) and 1 item that is not overdue. Create a restriction on the patron record - e.g. indefinite restriction. Return the item that is not overdue - Checkin message shows "Reminder: Patron has an indefinite restriction." Return the item that is overdue - no Checkin message displays. Expected results: the Checkin message showing that a patron is restricted should display when returning an overdue book. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

[Bug 39913] New: Fully delete patrons when removing due to refused GDPR consent

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=39913 Bug ID: 39913 Summary: Fully delete patrons when removing due to refused GDPR consent Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: Patrons Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: andrew(a)bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt(a)gmail.com, kyle.m.hall(a)gmail.com Depends on: 21336 When cleanup_database deletes patrons based on the PatronRemovalDelay system preference, it sends those patrons to the deleteborrowers table. It seems like it would be more in keeping with user/patron expectations to fully delete those borrowers, skipping deletedborrowers entirely. We're looking at developing a feature for recovering borrowers from deletedborrowers, and we definitely would not want to allow restoration of patrons who declined GDPR consent. That'd be easier to avoid if we just delete them entirely in the first place.

[Bug 30299] New: Create a Registration API to allow for use of email verification when outside systems are registering patrons

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30299 Bug ID: 30299 Summary: Create a Registration API to allow for use of email verification when outside systems are registering patrons Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: REST API Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: nick(a)bywatersolutions.com CC: tomascohen(a)gmail.com Some discovery systems (Aspen for instance) provide a self registration function. Currently the Koha preference 'PatronSelfRegistrationVerifyByEmail' cannot be utilized via the API. We propose to add two endpoints: 1 - Registration - This will take a borrower object, verify the required/unwanted fields, and create a patron modification request as on 'opac-memberentry.pl' when verification is enabled - The endpoint will take an option to send/suppress the email from Koha so that integrating systems may generate their own - The endpoint will take an optional return URL to be passed through when generating the verification email so the outside system can handle the verification - The endpoint will return the verification token 2 - Verification - The endpoint will accept the token generated above and complete patron creation as in opac-registration-verify.pl -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

It would be nice to add some more information here about the intermediate status that will be assigned when you set it to "not fulfill" holds immediately.

Steps to reproduce: 1. From Koha Patron module > add new patron > patron identity section, Date of birth field, enter a birthdate for 24 May 1964 as 05241964 (DateNoSlash_1.png) manually. 2. Tab or hit enter, and the birth date that is recorded changes to 06/10/1964 or June 10 1964 (DateNoSlash_2.png). Similar behavior happens whenever the date is entered without punctuation. Expected Results: If data is entered in this field without slashes or hyphens, the slashes would be input without changing the intended date. Suggesting here a correction to correctly assign birthdates as entered with or without punctuation. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
