[Bug 42627] New: Printing a range of barcodes should be from and quantity instead of from and to
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=42627 Bug ID: 42627 Summary: Printing a range of barcodes should be from and quantity instead of from and to Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Tools Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: lucas@bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org When printing a barcode range we should have "From" and "Number of barcodes to print" instead of "From" and "To". This way the user could enter the starting barcode and the number to print from there. This is because, like David says in Bug 41162, calculating the difference between from and to is hard. https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=41162#c1 "Number of barcodes to print" could then have a limit, say 1000 which seems fair, and then we just exit the loop after that number. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=42627 David Nind <david@davidnind.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |david@davidnind.com --- Comment #12 from David Nind <david@davidnind.com> --- I saw this change when testing bug 43437, and I think there is an issue with it: the changed label "Number of barcodes to print" is misleading. Using KTD (and the sample data) I entered: - Starting barcode: 3999900000001 - Number of barcodes to print: 500 The result is that it only generated 7 barcodes: 3999900000001 3999900000002 3999900000017 3999900000018 3999900000019 3999900000020 3999900000021 I think the "Number of barcodes to print" is misleading, as it is actually only printing any barcodes that exist from the starting barcode entered plus adding the number entered to that sequence, not the next X barcodes. For example, if 500 is entered, and the starting barcode is 3999900000001, then it is only going to print the barcodes that EXIST up until 3999900000500 - not the next 500 barcodes in sequence after 3999900000001. So I'm not sure what is the best way forward here. Maybe add some hint text, or change the label, but I'm struggling to come up with something that is concise and makes sense: "Prints the number of barcodes from the starting barcode, if they exist." "Prints the number of barcodes from the starting barcode, if they exist." "Only prints barcodes that exist from the starting barcode, plus the number entered in sequence." Or maybe I am misunderstanding the purpose of the tool. I think I originally understood it to be about printing me a batch of X barcodes starting from this barcode, so I can use with new books catalogued - not existing barcode in the system. Or may be that is another feature somewhere else? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=42627 --- Comment #13 from Gretchen Maxeiner <maxeinergl@gcc.edu> --- That's interesting. I tested this again in case I made a goof but couldn't replicate those results. I'm in sandbox but if I start with 3999900000001 and ask for 500 barcodes, the export file is 500 barcodes running sequentially. The export screen offering the PDF download (label-print.pl) tells me it covers "Barcodes from 3999900000001 to 3999900000500", which matches the file. This is the same result as it was prepatch from me entering a starting barcode of "3999900000001" and an end barcode of "3999900000500". It doesn't appear to me that this tool is consulting the system for known barcodes at all (either pre- or post-patch). I did assume that was being used to create new barcode labels not yet linked to records, so that seemed normal to me. Realistically, I would not be entering a barcode number already in use in the system, but the next sequential one after the last one I've printed. The label settings I tested with were the Avery 5160 | 1 x 2-5/8 template, and the DEFAULT layout. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=42627 --- Comment #14 from David Nind <david@davidnind.com> --- Thanks Gretchen! It looks like I should have tested this bug by itself. It does indeed work as advertised. It produces X number of labels in sequence from the starting barcode. It doesn't just print barcodes that exist in the system/ Looks like bug 43437 changed the behavour in ways, and I blamed this bug! 8-) Apologies for the false alarm!
