Make on-site checkout have its own quota
by Nicolas Legrand 05 Mar '15

05 Mar '15

Hey, we may have a use for on-site checkout, but we would need it to have its own quotas, detached from regular checkout. This would be to handle documents coming from closed stacks. Some of them can't leave the library, but may be consulted on site. All of our borrowers may ask for documents stored in closed stacks, but just some of them may borrow a book (regular checkout). That's the way we work now, with an old custom Koha 3.2. I'm working on jumping to 3.18 and those customisations aren't really portable, so I'm looking for something with existing features in community branch. If I make a bug and a patch to make a different entry for on-site checkout in the Opac in the circulation matrix, would it be blocking for someone? Or do you have a better idea for our need? :) Cheers, -- *Nicolas Legrand* Administration technique et développements du système de gestion de la bibliothèque [image: Logo BULAC] Bibliothèque universitaire des langues et civilisations 65 rue des Grands Moulins F-75013 PARIS T +33 1 81 69 *18 22* www.bulac.fr

Another bug status
by Nicole Engard 04 Mar '15

04 Mar '15

Hi all, I'm at the hackfest right now and have found an interesting problem with our statuses. I find a lot of bugs that are in a status of needs signoff but have conversations going on after the patch has been submitted. I feel like we need another status in here. Kyle suggested something like 'failed signoff' which isn't quite 'failed qa' but it does mean something has to be done to the patch before it needs signoff. I'm not picky - but I've found a lot of these such bugs this week and feel we need some way to remove these from the 'needs signoff' list to make it more efficient. Suggestions? Comments? Feelings? Nicole
