You'll notice that the other cases accompanying these are under the heading ''. These are cases where Koha requires the librarian to confirm an issue because of some special circumstance. In the example you quote, those cases are related to reserves. There are two different cases a librarian might encounter when someone brings up a book that happens to be on reserve for another patron. The first case is when someone has placed an available item on reserve, but it hasn't been pulled off the shelf and set aside by the librarian. A patron tries to check it out, and Koha warns the librarian that the item is on reserve for another patron (). The returns script and tempalate have their own mechanisms for dealing with reserves too, of course. -- Owen

LibLime Koha Support (Site Launch Announcement)
by Joshua Ferraro 13 Apr '05

13 Apr '05

LibLime is pleased to announce the launch of our website and product demos [ http://liblime.com ]. LibLime provides full vendor services (migration assistance, staff training, and software maintenance, support and development) to libraries for open-source software like Koha. Our mission is to make open-source software more accessible to US libraries. On our website, you can find information about Koha and our other products: Mambo Intranet and DiscrimiNet Filter. Our Koha demos couple version 2.2.2's stable code base with a fresh template re-design. In addition, we've developed several Koha enhancement features: Amazon.com content (item cover images, descriptions, reviews, and ratings), spellchecking on failed search queries, and an auto-completion "Koha Suggest" for the OPAC keyword search, to name a few. We'll be committing these features to the HEAD branch of Koha soon. We'd love feedback from the Koha community. So feel free to visit our site, try out the demos, play around, and let us know what you think. Comments/suggestions/flames are always welcome ;-). Sincerely, -- Joshua Ferraro VENDOR SERVICES FOR OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE CEO, LIBLIME migration, training, maintenance, support jmf(a)liblime.com Koha ILS, Mambo Intranet, DiscrimiNet Filter 1(740)707-7654 TRY OUR FULL DEMOS AT http://liblime.com

The language in the default/css templates can be awkward at times because they were written by a non-native speaker of English. The language of the NPL templates strives to be clear and understandable, but using terminology common to my particular library. Thus it may not be appropriate for everyone. > - Brand new interface style with tab navigation, control > box, legible fonts and more pleasant colours. (sponsored job) Sounds nice. Have you tried the option in 2.2(.2?) to specify an external stylesheet for the OPAC? That's a great new way for libraries to customize the display. > - Accessibility enhancements, including keyboard shortcuts > and auto-field-focus-on-load scripts. I've just started to add keyboard shortcuts (using HTML's 'accesskey') to some places in the NPL templates. The focus- on-load feature is also used in several places (in both current templates), but I'm sure there are more places that could use it. Will you be using accesskey or Javascript for keyboard shortcuts? If I may ask, is this project being sponsored by a particular library? What kind of library, and where? -- Owen ---- Web Developer Nelsonville Public Library http://www.athenscounty.lib.oh.us

New Interface & Other Work
by Ben Goodger 12 Apr '05

12 Apr '05

Hello all, As you can tell from the subject, I and my colleague Shaun Evans are currently undertaking massive interface design works basing our endeavours on Koha 2.2.2. We will be doing, among others, the following things: - XHTML conversion / sanitation (sponsored job) - Converting interface to div-based where applicable to comply with latest W3C trend - Correcting / replacing / improving upon the language of the system, much of which contains broken grammar or indeterminable meaning. - Brand new interface style with tab navigation, control box, legible fonts and more pleasant colours. (sponsored job) - Accessibility enhancements, including keyboard shortcuts and auto-field-focus-on-load scripts. We're not modifying the Perl source in any logic-affecting way; we are merely changing the presentation layer (templates > includes > css) in order to make Koha the professional, enterprise-grade ILS it deserves to become. As you can probably tell this is a large job and will take a fair while. As soon as something vaguely presentable has been produced, a screenshot (or URL of screenshot) will be sent. Until then, bear with us :) -- ~ Ben Goodger ~ Please remember to FLOSS daily. ~ www.getfirefox.com PS. The changes currently being implemented by people adding new features to the current release will not need significant reworking in order to fit into our version.

reserves behaviour
by Paul POULAIN 08 Apr '05

08 Apr '05

Hello koha-dev, (copy to french list, but in english / copie à la liste infos, mais en VO) I think i've fixed http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=965 (just remove the 2 following lines in Circ2.pm : warn "CancelReserve $res->{'itemnumber'}, $res->{'borrowernumber'}"; } else { # COMMENT / REMOVE THE 2 FOLLOWING : #my $tobrcd = ReserveWaiting($res->{'itemnumber'}, $res->{'borrowernumber'}); #transferbook($tobrcd,$barcode, 1); warn "transferbook"; ) But now, i've some questions on reserves behaviour : Let me explain (& ask katipo & others some questions) : user A places a reserve on a book. * possibility 1 => the book is being issued to user B. When returned, the librarian is warned "Reserve found, change status to waiting and print slip + print button". This message is buggy : there is no slip printing at all, the button should be "YES" instead of "Print". I've changed this for 2.2.2 There should also be an option to say "NO, cancel reserve". We should also see the reserve date. We could also have a system preference to change status without querying the librarian. * possibility 2 => the book is NOT being issued for instance. In this case, the reserve will stay pending until : - user A issues it. In this case, the reserve is cancelled & the book is issued. - user B tries to issue it. In this case, the librarian is warned "book reserved by A, do you want to cancel issue to B or not, do you want to cancel reserve from A or not ?". works fine now that i've fixed bug 965 - nobody tries to issue the book. In this case, the book never becomes "waiting" in opac-user A screen. I think we need a way to say "the book is waiting for you". It could be automatic (=book in the library when the reserve is placed means the book is directly set to "waiting" and can't be issued anymore). We also need a screen for the librarian that could show all requests, to enable them to get the book and manually change it's status. Am I missing something here ? does this last feature exist or not ? Does this sound a good idea for everybody ? -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
