[Bug 7974] New: can't create routing list in staff client
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7974 Priority: P5 - low Change sponsored?: --- Bug ID: 7974 Assignee: colin.campbell@ptfs-europe.com Summary: can't create routing list in staff client QA Contact: koha.sekjal@gmail.com Severity: major Classification: Unclassified OS: All Reporter: nengard@gmail.com Hardware: All Status: NEW Version: master Component: Serials Product: Koha When I'm in the staff client looking at a serial I see that there is a routing list and I can click to see who is subscribed, but can't add people to the list. I see no way anymore to add people from the staff client to the routing list and most libraries add people this way. See chat: [11:24] <nengard> i'm training on serials today and i don't see a way to add people to the routing list in 3.8 anymore … anyone know where that went? [11:24] <nengard> it used to be on the serial collection page [11:24] <nengard> i do see it under summary on the serial info page, but when I click it it doesn't let me add anyone it just says no one is on the routing list [11:28] * matts is now known as matts_away [11:32] * asaurat has quit (Quit: Leaving.) [11:33] <jcamins> Incidentally, I found out that Koha is guilty of not having any user-friendly Authority view on the OPAC either. [11:34] <jcamins> nengard: I'm not sure. I've wondered that, too. I thought I was misremembering, since I don't use routing lists much. [11:34] <nengard> no it used to be there [11:34] <nengard> and it's important that it's there [11:34] <nengard> most academic libraries create their own routing lists and i see no way to do that anymore [11:35] <nengard> i found it! [11:35] <jcamins> cait might know where it is. She uses that feature, too, so surely she would've noticed it vanishing. [11:35] <nengard> you have to subscribe in the OPAC [11:35] <nengard> that's not enough - we must be able to create them ourselves [11:36] <nengard> there is a link for patrons on this: cgi-bin/koha/opac-serial-issues.pl?biblionumber=33593 [11:36] <nengard> to subscribe [11:36] <nengard> and that's the routing list now [11:36] <nengard> which is not what routing lists are used for in most libraries I've been to [11:36] <nengard> also there was a routing list you could print out which is what we use [11:36] <nengard> any idea what patch did this??? [11:37] * wizzyrea has quit (Ping timeout: 480 seconds) [11:38] <jcamins> No, that's a different new feature. [11:38] <jcamins> cait had me test it just the other week. [11:38] <jcamins> That's a feature to enable patrons to subscribe to a notification in the OPAC. [11:38] <jcamins> Yeah, I think those are two completely different features. [11:38] <jcamins> I tested the patch that added the OPAC thing, but it didn't touch the staff client. [11:38] <jcamins> Ah-ha! [11:38] <jcamins> Found it. [11:38] <jcamins> Now how did I do that? [11:40] <jcamins> Okay, if I do a search I am able to add a routing list. [11:40] <jcamins> And then if I click through from the search, I'm able to click "Create routing list" on the left. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Can you check that your user has permission routing and your RoutingSerials system preference is turned on? That should make the column show up. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7974 --- Comment #5 from Nicole C. Engard <nengard@gmail.com> --- Okay, there is a new preference for that that I did not know about - on upgrade it should not be set to OFF since before upgrading it was just a feature you had access to. Also you shouldn't be able to choose routing list as a notification when setting up a serial if you have the preference set to OFF - makes it very confusing to people who have been using the system for ages. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7974 --- Comment #7 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de> --- Hi Nicole, the system preference itself is very old, but as far as I can tell it used to only work on serials-home, that is the result table when searching for a serial. I wrote a patch to make permissions and system preference check consistent on all other pages too: http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=commit;h=88a2079a48867680... I am not sure how we can make people less confused here - updating an existing system preference that used to work at least partially to another setting seems not right to me. The routing list notification you choose when adding a subscription is a misnamed sample notice. It is not related to the management of routing lists at all - it is necessary for sending out serial alerts for new issues. Without selecting a notification template, the link for subscribing to the serial alerts will not show up in OPAC. The notifications will also only be sent out to alert subscribers, not to users on the routling list. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
