The SIP2 standard says that recall date and hold pickup date should be in timestamp format. Due date it says may be returned in 'any format the ACS wishes'. There is a logic in using a consistent format with the other date fields.
Frederic you're using DateTime in this one place to convert the date, would it not be good to consistently handle dates across the sip modules, possibly holding them as DateTime objects? Also DateTime will need adding to the equired modules for Koha.
Joe Atzberger explains that Koha SIP2 ILS abstraction layer is more virtual than real, for now, but that it would be desirable to maintain it and even improve it in order to manage a path for the future to/from a reconciliation with Evergreen SIP Server. Correct me, Joe, if I misunderstood you. In this perspective, I agree with you that we could decide that all dates managed by Sip modules could be with advantage a DateTime object. Of great interest elsewhere in Koha also... The difficulty is to change that without breaking something somewhere. Test suit is not so usable. Or I confess I don't know how to use it. And we lack a Self Check emulator to validated such modification. We all do testing with different devices and not very consistently... -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
