Hi All,
Lloyd and I have been discussing a feature to automatically email account details to patrons upon account creation. The primary details are the user's userird and password.
The feature will need to have the ability to manage (eg: add/edit/ save) an account-creation email - per branch. (As each branch will potentially have differing contact information etc)
When a user is created by a Koha Admin, an email will be sent to that user's email address - depending on their homebranch value.
There may be a few sysprefs needed for this feature, but initially just the one will suffice - something like... autoEmailPatronDetails = 'OFF | WorkEmail | HomeEmail | AltEmail'
--- A related, but separate feature we have been discussing is...
A Feature to populate the opac-userid and opac-password fields with defaults - if they are left blank on account creation
2 sysprefs could handle this feature, perhaps... autoAddOPACUserid = 'OFF | Cardnumber | WorkEmail | HomeEmail | Random' etc autoAddOPACPassword = 'OFF | Cardnumber | WorkEmail | HomeEmail | Random' etc
Just a quick note that this has been pushed up after receipt of some patches from Mason. To get this functionality, please update to revision 3.00.087.
