[Bug 15834] New: Options to supress e-mail generated by AutoEmailOpacUser
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15834 Bug ID: 15834 Summary: Options to supress e-mail generated by AutoEmailOpacUser Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Patrons Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: cbrannon@cdalibrary.org QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com, kyle.m.hall@gmail.com Would love to see a selection when creating a new account to suppress the welcome e-mail generated by AutoEmailOpacUser. Sometimes, like when creating accounts for ILL, you don't want to send the info. It would also be great if there were a preference where you could choose patron groups to not send this e-mail to.

But would be nice to have this as an option by patron category. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

Options are always better than workarounds. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.

One could write an if-else block to check if a borrower's category matches a value and place the message inside the block. Empty messages are not sent if I'm correct. This counts as a workaround too though, I guess. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.

List of available variables states branch, borrower.
One could write an if-else block to check if a borrower's category matches a value and place the message inside the block. Empty messages are not sent if I'm correct.
This counts as a workaround too though, I guess.
If Template Toolkit had solid and complete documentation for notices, then yes, a workaround. But even if documentation for TT in notices were solid, the average user doesn't have basic programming skills. TT isn't doesn't even have a ready set of insertable elements like the outdated hungry alligator elements/fields that are still present. If we are going to rely on TT for basic needs, then we are a bit short sighted for the average library that doesn't have someone that knows how to program at that level, and we are offering no easy way to implement it. I guess the question is, what things are common enough to put built in functionality for, and what things are out of the scope of average use and should be left to TT? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
