Patron Cards and Book labels: 3.06 -- How are people printing them?
Hello Everyone, Printing Spine label and patron cards: I started working on this in May and 3.06 is still the preferred stable version. I've seen two posts that say to wait for 3.2. I've installed in various configurations (now have Thai lang with marc-21; strange, but it seems to work for input and searching).d I can't get any of the label options to work (English lang mostly) for books or patrons (at least not more than minimally -- I can get a barcode graphically and as text, but that's it. (Oh, and a nice red box around the items. Nothing I do to customize (choose what's on the label) has any effect. Finally, I can't get the export to csv to work to try it. Apologies for not seeing it if it's obvious, but now I would like to ask for suggestions. Am I wrong or is this just not working? How are people getting their labels and patron cards done in 3.06? -- *http://iteachnet.org *http://flossed.org *http://ischoolnet.org *Web Ideas, Tools and Sites for Teachers, Schools, and You. *Cell: +66(0*)84 329 1183; Office: +66(0*)2 980 9464 (*No "0" if calling from overseas.) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

Is that the only way they don't work? I think patron cards aren't very customisable and I don't remember whether I've tried to customise the book labels.
Finally, I can't get the export to csv to work to try it.
How doesn't it work? That's not a useful bug report or even pointer towards how to do something which would let me submit a bug report. :-(

As far as I know, the co-op's client libraries are using the Koha printer to make PDFs which are then printed onto cards or labels. We did some customisation work to add library logos to patron cards which I submitted some time ago. If there's interest, I'll resubmit it for 3.06 because I don't think it was accepted into 3.0.x (the LogoCards system preference would show if it was), but I think the label printers are all changing in 3.2, so it might not be worth it otherwise.
