https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=36007 Bug ID: 36007 Summary: Add the ability to batch edit in Course Reserves Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 23.11 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Course reserves Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: kelly(a)bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org It would be nice to have the ability to batch edit in course reserves. A scenario could be, a course is reactivated, the items in the course are the same, but they all need to be relocated for the course is happening at a different branch, or a different reserve location. A batch edit would allow staff to retain the list of items in the course, but easily update the new course reserves values. At this time, each item would need to be individually edited. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

[Bug 27464] New: Extend functionality of AllowHoldsPolicyOverride to prevent some overrides

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=27464 Bug ID: 27464 Summary: Extend functionality of AllowHoldsPolicyOverride to prevent some overrides Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 19.05 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Hold requests Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: madamyk(a)ckls.org QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt(a)gmail.com If one tries to create a "local use only" item type, there isn't a good way to make it impossible to place holds for anywhere other than its home branch. Setting restrictions on it in Circ rules allows any staff member with permissions to override the hold restrictions. Another option is setting an item to a lost status, but this is certainly not ideal: it clears the status every time the item is scanned, and it affects how it appears in the OPAC. What if there were a way to have finer control over the AllowHoldsPolicyOverride system preference? For instance, allow hold overrides as a separate permission for overriding circulation rules vs. overriding patron restrictions. It seems logical that overriding a restriction to check out to a patron is quite a bit different from ignoring specific circulation rules (if that makes sense). Perhaps another way to work around this would be a checkbox in the circulation rules with an option to "Ignore staff overrides" or something similar? It could be turned on or off for each individual circulation rule. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.

For example - an author passes away, the current behavior is you need to edit the authority record. It would be beneficial to connect to the LOC database to look for updates automatically.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=24806 Bug ID: 24806 Summary: Syspref ILLOpacbackends can not be disbled Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 19.11 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: ILL Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: hans.palsson(a)hkr.se The syspref ILLOpacbackends allows admin to choose which ILL-backends that should be available to the user in the OPAC. However, there is no way of _not_ having any backends, even the syspref is described as "If left empty, all installed backends will be enabled". A syspref should not behave like this, if the field is left empty no backends should be available in the OPAC (?). An alternative solution is to set another syspref that enables/disables use of ILL in OPAC. Libraries that do not allow ordering of ILL from the OPAC must be able to hide this feature. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=39515 Bug ID: 39515 Summary: Add where parameter to delete_patrons.pl Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Command-line Utilities Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: aude.charillon(a)openfifth.co.uk QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: robin(a)catalyst.net.nz Some scripts, like delete_items.pl for example, have a -where parameter which allows for SQL statements to be used as additional parameters. It would be useful to have a similar -where parameter in the batch delete patrons script. Library teams have different requirements regarding which patrons should be deleted (and when), and even their own definition of inactive patrons. Having a -where parameter would offer them more flexibility to automatically delete patrons using the script, rather than having to do this manually. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

[Bug 20930] New: Handle YAML type system preferences as parsed references

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20930 Bug ID: 20930 Summary: Handle YAML type system preferences as parsed references Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Architecture, internals, and plumbing Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: lari.taskula(a)jns.fi QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org Currently, C4::Context->preference('YAMLpref') returns a string that needs to be parsed by any code using the preference. My suggestion is to return a parsed version instead (a hash/array ref or a string) and using the syspref cache with the parsed value. Like this, we could: - centralize parsing of YAML system preferences - optimize use of system preference cache by caching the parsed version instead. Parse once and store in cache; no need to re-parse on each call! We could centralize this functionality into Koha::Config::SysPref->value() (used by C4::Context->preference). Use database column systempreferences.type with value of "yaml" to trigger this functionality in "value()"-method. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

It would be helpful if a patron could cancel the hold even while in transit. It would also be helpful if we had an option for staff cancelled holds to be put on that table. Staff that cancel a hold for a patron are not always able to jump up and grab that hold right away. This should be an option. Either a setting with the rule, or an option on the fly. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

For example we did this: BEGIN { my $path = Module::Metadata->find_module_by_name(__PACKAGE__); $path =~ s!\.pm$!/lib!; unshift @INC, $path; require Koha::CurbsidePickupIssues; require Koha::CurbsidePickupPolicies; require Koha::CurbsidePickups; require Koha::Schema::Result::CurbsidePickup; require Koha::Schema::Result::CurbsidePickupIssue; require Koha::Schema::Result::CurbsidePickupPolicy; # register the additional schema classes Koha::Schema->register_class(CurbsidePickup => 'Koha::Schema::Result::CurbsidePickup'); Koha::Schema->register_class(CurbsidePickupPolicy => 'Koha::Schema::Result::CurbsidePickupPolicy'); Koha::Schema->register_class(CurbsidePickupIssue => 'Koha::Schema::Result::CurbsidePickupIssue'); # ... and force a refresh of the database handle so that it includes # the new classes Koha::Database->schema({ new => 1 }); } In the curbside pickups plugin before it was integrated. The problem we've found is that calling Koha::Database->schema({ new => 1 }); resets the database connection and breaks any transactions you were in when the plugin was loaded! We should be able to search for and load any schema files found in plugin directories to make this all unnecessary. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
