https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=39658 Bug ID: 39658 Summary: Allow definition of non-hierarchical linked patron accounts Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement 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 In a Koha system containing multiple functionally-autonomous libraries, one patron may have multiple distinct accounts within the same Koha system. These accounts represent distinct cards from distinct libraries and need their circulation rules enforced as such, so they can't be merged into one account. But no one of these accounts is "primary" and they all represent the same person, so guarantor/guarantee relationships are a poor conceptual fit (and may already be in use for their intended purpose). These linked/shared accounts would: - clearly link between each other in the Details of the patron record - optionally reciprocally enforce restrictions and blocks due to fines & fees (when one account is blocked, all are) - optionally allow checkout of on-hold items for shared accounts For that last item, assuming one patron has accounts card1 and card2. They have a hold ready for pickup on their card1 account. If Koha attempts to check the waiting item out to the card2 account, koha should check the item out on the card1 account, mark the hold complete, and give the user a clear on-screen message as to what happened. It should not ask for confirmation. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

[Bug 34632] New: Patron Importing should be a background job

This will help us avoid the 500/600/whatever you set apache timeouts experienced by libraries whenever they import batches of patrons of any significant size.

To test: 1. Create a Statistical Patron 2. Set BlockReturnOfLostItems to Don't Block. 3. Mark an item as missing. 4. Check it out to the Statistical Patron. 5. You get a message "Local use recorded." <- You should see a message, "Item was lost, but has now been found." 6. Check your item - the lost value has been cleared and is now available. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.

This patch adds: - t/db_dependent/Labels/t_Label.t - Extends existing tests with subtests for: - draw_label_text() - text positioning and formatting - draw_guide_box() - guide box rendering - barcode() - all supported barcode types (CODE39, COOP2OF5, INDUSTRIAL2OF5, EAN13) - create_label() - printing type orchestration (BIB, BAR, BIBBAR, BARBIB) - t/db_dependent/Patroncards/t_Patroncard.t - New test file covering: - draw_guide_box() and draw_guide_grid() - draw_text() with patron data substitution - draw_barcode() with multiple barcode types - draw_image() with generated test image - End-to-end PDF output validation Tests use t::lib::TestBuilder fixtures and transaction rollback for isolation.

To test: - Add an attribute to a patron's account. - Perform batch patron modification. - Under Patron attribute you can either add a new attribute or update existing one. You can set the attribute to blank to clear the values, but the attribute will remain on the account as blank. It would be nice if there's a way to delete the patron attribute all together. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.

Check out an item 2. Place a hold on the specific item with a pickup at a different branch 3. Check in: Confirm hold and transfert 4. Check the branchtransfers table to ensure that the transfert is here SELECT * FROM branchtransfers order by datesent DESC LIMIT 10; 5. Home › Circulation › Transfers 6. Create a transfer identical as the existing one 7. You should see «Item is already at destination library.» 8. Check the branchtransfers table 1. First one should have been canceled «Canceled, new transfer from A to A created» 2. Another one should have been created from A to A 3. These 2 things are the issue. Because doing the same without a hold - doesn't create a new transfer - doesn't cancel the first one -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

The upgrade will fail if you miss this step.» See there more more details. ----- For us: is there still data in RabbitMQ when stopping a Koha instance and upgrading it? I recall reading that the DB was basically mirroring the message queue data during a discussion about the actual need for a dedicated message queue. Does it mean the koha-common package can wipe the RabbitMQ data which will allow it to start without issue? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
