Our library has as a rule that, when a member has overdued items it's automatically debarred. In koha we don't have this feature. We are planning to add this feature with a perl script run from the crond; this script will run during the night and mark as debarred the members that are suitable. On the other hand we need to handle this situation: a user with overdued items returns the items. He will continue debarred till a date computed by the librarians, in that date he will be allowed his rights again. To handle this automatically we think about ading a field to the members table. This field will handle the date were the user will recover his rights. We'll pretend to run a program that will let the users recover their rights, after the date saved in the database. Please send your feedback. Andres
