[Koha-devel] FW: [Koha] Fines for Short Loan Items

[Bernard Shiundu]

Bumped into the mail below on the general list, just cross-posting with a small comment/question

I had this same issue and solved it in rel2_2 (which I'm currently running in production) by porting the reserve circulation code from koha neu. The way it worked/works is that items circulating on the hour are issued in a separate circulation module (similar to the 'normal' one) with the data being stored in reserve circulation table and overdue fines being calculated on the fly and posted to accountlines when the item is returned rather than as a cron job. Before I start working on porting it to Koha 3 and submitting my code, is anybody working on this for Koha 3? Don't want to re-invent the wheel ;)

If this is the case, I suggest that the issue be looked into.

I'm afraid not; all of the fining and checkout code in Koha works in days.
