I'll attach a modified patch to do it. You'll still have to update the sys. pref. options to enable this feature. Look at the changes to installer/data/mysql/en/mandatory/sysprefs.sql for an idea of what to set the sys. pref. to. Good luck. On Fri, 2009-03-27 at 11:42 -0400, Roche III, Edward wrote:

I have in my libraries several copies with a "T " before the number part of the barcode. Koha works with it fine. I find the trick is to make sure what's in the Koha database and what's encoded in the barcode are the same. It is possible with itemInputBarcodeFilter processing. I've used that sys. pref. to strip leading spaces ( which I put in ) from some barcodes.
If what you want is to be able to enter just the number, or the "T " and the number ( like from a barcode scanner ), then I think making a custom itemInputBarcodeFilter ( like I did to trim leading spaces ) would be a good solution.

That is an idea but I would think there was a way to have Koha except the T+space.

Currently doing it by hand but have tried with the scanner with no luck.
I asked because sometimes scanners are configured to add characters where you might not expect them. I did a quick test in my 3.0 installation and didn't have any problem typing in the barcode.. I don't have any prefix options specified.
What I wonder is if you couldn't store just the numeric portion of the barcode (if it's the T+space causing the problem) and configure your scanners to strip off the "T "? Of course you'd have to consult the documentation for your scanners to know if that was possible. We've done something similar in the past.
