I have a question about overdue notices in Koha 3.8.3. Not sure if this is a bug or not... When a patron has overdue items, the "First Overdue Notice" will generate a list of those items. Perfect. When other overdue items subsequently become overdue within an undetermined but limited amount of time, a "First Overdue Notice" is generated for those items, but if the first set of items have not been resolved (by returning them), they are repeated in the second "First Overdue Notice". See attached .pdf. Desired/correct functionality? -- Greg Lawson Network Administrator Rolling Hills Consolidated Library 1912 N. Belt Highway St. Joseph, MO 64506
Hi Greg, are you maybe using the --list-all option with overdues.pl? I think in that case all overdue items are listed with each notice. Hope this helps, Katrin -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: koha-devel-bounces@lists.koha-community.org im Auftrag von glaws Gesendet: Mo 27.08.2012 20:09 An: koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org Betreff: [Koha-devel] Overdue Notices I have a question about overdue notices in Koha 3.8.3.

Hi, Greg. Interesting. I am another librarian like you, and after a bit thinking I'd say this may after all be the desired functionality for you, too. To send multiple first notices (for free). Or how did it turn out? ----- (Mr.) Kari Blomster, librarian Hailuoto Public Library, Finland | http://www.hailuoto.fi/sivu/fi/kuntapalvelut/perus/Sivistyspalvelut/kirjasto...

First of all a clarification: I'm not a librarian, I'm a sysadmin. :) For us this is unresolved, and we've decided we can live with it for now, but it's not the preferred action. This only appeared after we upgraded to 3.8.x, so it is a newly introduced behavior. Someday after I finish my disaster preparedness project, which includes building two off-site servers and lots of documentation, maybe I'll get around to looking at the overdue notices script. Someday. Greg -------------------------------------------- On 09/14/2012 02:04 AM, Kari Blomster wrote:
