Hi All,
Lloyd and I have been discussing a feature to automatically email
account details to patrons upon account creation.
The primary details are the user's userird and password.
The feature will need to have the ability to manage (eg: add/edit/
save) an account-creation email - per branch.
(As each branch will potentially have differing contact information etc)
When a user is created by a Koha Admin, an email will be sent to that
user's email address - depending on their homebranch value.
There may be a few sysprefs needed for this feature, but initially
just the one will suffice - something like...
autoEmailPatronDetails = 'OFF | WorkEmail | HomeEmail | AltEmail'
---
A related, but separate feature we have been discussing is...
A Feature to populate the opac-userid and opac-password fields with
defaults - if they are left blank on account creation
2 sysprefs could handle this feature, perhaps...
autoAddOPACUserid = 'OFF | Cardnumber | WorkEmail | HomeEmail |
Random' etc
autoAddOPACPassword = 'OFF | Cardnumber | WorkEmail | HomeEmail |
Random' etc
Any comments or criticism peoples?
Cheers, Mason.
