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.
iirc, that's already in the "argentina" version of Koha (or something like this feature. Emiliano spoke of "debarred" rules wrking like actual "fines" rules. . Ask Emiliano for it's code (& ask/bug him to commit the corresponding code too ;-) ) -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
