Hello everybody, One of my libraries would be happy with a new feature : creating items on the fly when a serial arrives. the item would have to contain : barcode / itemcallnumber / branch / itemnote iirc, chris, you told me you made something in this direction. Am I wrong ? do you plan to commit something about this ? otherwise, I could do it. Would be fairly easy I bet : * add a systempreference add / don't add item when recieving issues * if YES : add 4 inputs in the screen where the librarian recieves issues * when saving issue status, if a barcode has been typed : - create a hash - use MARCkoha2marcitem to create the MARC record for the item - NEWnewitem to create the item - that's all folks ! The second step, a little bit harder : save the link between the item and the serial issue (items & serials tables). That means we would have to create a new field in items table. And then, of course, use the link when showing the item in OPAC (like showing the serial issue number) Feel free to comment. PS : no need to do this in 2.2 atm, maybe just something to add to RoadMap for 3.0 ;-) -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
