I'm sure someone knowing how to do that would need one hour for such a plugin ! -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA Contact for the bug.

I understand Paul's suggestion of creating item types that reflect the length of time something circulates, rather than reflecting the physical item type. However, most our items circulate for one semester, three weeks or one week depending upon the patron type, not the itype. That's my two cents on what would work for us.

So we made ccodes SHLO and QILO and set them in the C4-modules to their respective durations when circulation rules were checked. Obviously this is not a very good solution and I am looking for a way to generalize that a bit so we could get that feature to master :) Do you think giving items a new attribute, "loan duration", which would essentially give the normal circulation duration some variation, would work for others as well? Loan duration could be for ex "short" , "quick" , "normal" , "long" , "epoch" , "forever". Then in the cgi-bin/koha/admin/smart-rules.pl we could set the "Loan period" for each of the available "Loan duration"s. So for DVD's with short duration period is 7days, normal is 14days , epoch is 28 days ... Sounds fair? Also should be some some flag about whether or not those durations can be renewed/reserved? How does it sound like? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
