https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=40275 Bug ID: 40275 Summary: Add Koha::Patrons->find_by_identifier() Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: Main 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: tomascohen(a)gmail.com QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org As suggested by Frido in some other context, I file this bug to introduce the mentioned sub. I resurrected the idea after tracking down some warnings in SIP, and identifying bug 36575 introduced them by calling `->find` without passing a primary key. This kind of errors/warns: ``` [2025/06/30 13:03:23] [24253] [ERROR] [undef]@[undef]: DBIx::Class::ResultSource::_minimal_valueset_satisfying_constraint(): Unable to satisfy requested constraint 'primary', missing values for column(s): 'borrowernumber' at /kohadevbox/koha/Koha/Objects.pm line 98 C4::SIP::Trapper::__ANON__ /kohadevbox/koha/C4/SIP/Trapper.pm (70) ``` Instead of solving it locally, I propose to introduce a sane and tested method, and reuse it anywhere this pattern is being used. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

JSTOR uses reporting queuing so if data is not yet available, clients will need to re-request the report at a later date." and in JSTOR site : https://support.jstor.org/hc/en-us/articles/360015483214-SUSHI-reports-COUN… "Please wait at least one (1) hour between report requests to allow time for report files to be generated." I suppose other data provider may have the same policy. For Koha to be able to harvest them, it should be necessary to add an option to relaunch the harvesting process after a parametrable delay -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 30533] New: Add exact search option for patrons

Bug 17500 suggests implementing Elastic for patron searching, which would be great. In the meantime, we could give a little help for searches like this by giving an exact search option -- so the query would parse more or less the same but without the wildcards. That's also a problematic search for many situations, but would work better here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=33200 Bug ID: 33200 Summary: IndependentBranchesTransfers does not prevent holds from creating transfers Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Hold requests Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: caroline.cyr-la-rose(a)inlibro.com QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt(a)gmail.com I noticed that when you have IndependentBranches (Yes), IndependentBranchesTransfers (Yes), and canreservefromotherbranches (Don't allow), holds can still trigger transfers. This is probably larger than transfers as holds should not be placed on items from other libraries with IndependentBranches, even if we choose "next available item". IndependentBranches/canreservefromotherbranches should imply "next available item (from this branch)". To reproduce, you must have - IndependentBranches, IndependentBranchesPatronModifications and IndependentBranchesTransfers preferences set to Yes - canreservefromotherbranches must be set to Don't allow - Circulation rules that allow holds and checkouts - Two libraries (I used Midway (A) and Centerville (B)) - A record with two items, one at each library, with barcodes, check out the one from library A - Two non-superlibrarian staff user, one in each library, with at least catalogue and holds permissions, this is what I gave them - circulate (all) - catalogue - delete_borrowers - edit_borrowers - reserveforothers (all) 1. Log in to the staff interface with the non-superlibrarian staff user from library A 2. Go to the record with the two items, click "Place hold" 3. Place a hold for a user, without changing anything (should be for "next available item") 4. Log out and log back in with the non-superlibrarian staff user from library B 5. Check in the item from library B, which should be available --> Hold is confirmed for patron from library A, transfer is created 6. Optionally, you can log out and log back in as staff from library A 7. Go to Circulation > Transfers to receive (should this even be available with IndependentBranchesTransfers turned on?) --> Item from other branch is there -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

As this could have undesirable effects it should be possible to make changes in the system preference and not be blocked for everyone. Does anyone know a way to enforce this preference? Another possibility would be to display a pop-up during payment so that the person who wants to collect knows that the document has not been returned. After the libraby chooses if it want accept of not the payment. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
