[Bug 16247] New: Attaching PDFs to New Patron E-mail
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=16247 Bug ID: 16247 Summary: Attaching PDFs to New Patron E-mail Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: Notices Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: jesse@meta21st.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org A while back, I asked on the listserv if anyone had experimented with writing a script that would attach a PDF to the New Patron data email when it goes out. I am thinking specifically about attaching a PDF of library policies to that specific notification. I still think this is a good idea. I think it's helpful to be able to upload documents to patron records. But it might be a good idea if we could also attach documents - at least standard documents to standard/default e-mails. What kinds of tools, scripts or functionality would have to be added for this idea to be put into a future release? Curious...

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=16247 --- Comment #2 from Jesse Lambertson <jesse@meta21st.com> --- I can appreciate your comment, Katrin, re: evading big e-mails or attachments. I am also fine with a link to a pdf instead of the document itself. The document could either be hosted on our domain, in Google Drive or maybe even Dropbox in a public folder. If that is the case, I guess it is just a matter of making a local decision to edit the "Account Details Template - DEFAULT" text. Wow, that was easy. But if I wanted to tinker... Where should I begin? What would it take to create this kind of new functionality of adding documents as attachments to default messaging? At what level would this change need to be made? Thank you.

Some of our current features store uploaded files in the database, the new featurew for adding files to bibliographic records stores in the file systems and requires a bit of additional setup. Both have advantages and disadvantages. But I guess a starting point could be to look at other features and how they do it. For the attachements... we do send attachements in case of overdues for users with no email addresses. Maybe drop by IRC to pick some brains or try on the mailing list for additional pointers. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

Moving WONTFIX for now. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
