[Koha-devel] KohaAdminEmailAddress system preference is not set?

[Anthony W Youngman]

Just a little thing - is the librarian expected to re-enter the data
from the email, or can they just approve the change and it's added
automatically?

Classic thing - what if the patron updates a spelling mistake and the
librarian is slightly dyslexic or whatever and promptly makes the same
(or a different) mistake again while "correcting" the data. This would
drive me wild.

The obvious way to do this is for the email to contain a SQL statement
the librarian can cut-n-paste, or create a user-id monitored by the
database to which emails are forwarded and acted on automagically. Or
save the patron's input in an update queue which is then made live when
the librarian approves it.

Cheers,
Wol

Recently this copy was added to the OPAC

"Please, change what's needed. Note that a mail will be sent to the
library, 
that will validate changes.
So, the changes you will do won't appear immediatly."

(Yes - I just noticed the mis-spelling - I'm gonna do a bug report.)

You are right - it would be nice after the patron submits the update
form to 
get a response form saying - Your changes have been sent, etc.
