https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19501 Bug ID: 19501 Summary: New list category to restrict specific lists to staff & hide from OPAC Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Lists Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: Jeremy.evans(a)nibsc.org QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: m.de.rooy(a)rijksmuseum.nl We are creating various lists of titles that need to be hidden from view in the OPAC for the time being but other staff members need to see them. At the moment the options are Public or Private so this won't do what we require. We would like an additional list category selection of Staff so that those lists are then visible in the staff client (& presumably also to anyone who logs into the OPAC with a staff permissions login) but are not publicly visible in the OPAC. The intention is that multiple staff members may need to add items to some of these lists. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

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. Cheers, Liz -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

There is no error, the field is not marked as required. To test: - Add a new printer profile - Fill in description, leave other fields unchanged - Save - Verify that the new printer profile doesn't appear in the list and hasn't been created -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 40117] New: Add option for modification of not for loan from items tab

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=40117 Bug ID: 40117 Summary: Add option for modification of not for loan from items tab Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Cataloging Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: hebah(a)bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: m.de.rooy(a)rijksmuseum.nl Not for loan is a powerful status with a lot of flexibility for libraries, especially since it has the -/+ holdable but not circulating/does not circulate capability. And many libraries are not using it to full advantage because the only way to edit it is from the edit item form, not easily accessible from the items page (moredetail.pl) like other statuses. It would be nice if, perhaps by system preference, a library could optionally make editing of the not for loan status available from moredetail.pl. That way libraries that want NFL status updating a bit more locked down can still only access it from editing an item, and libraries that want staff to be able to use more flexible statuses make it more accessible to staff. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

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.
