[Koha-devel] RFC for overdue notice enhancements

[Jonathan Druart]

Salut François,

> manage more than 3 notification levels
See bug 9296, MJ Ray already submitted some work for that (but seems stuck).
How do you plan to implement that? How would be the DB table structure?
I am not sure the pref is needed here, the number of tab could be
manage on the interface (with some JS: + add a tab, - remove a tab).
The page tools/overduerules.pl is quite dirty, I suppose you will
refactore it and create a new module (using DBIC), isn't it?

> notice fee management
I development something like that (not rebased on master), see branch
MT9888: http://git.biblibre.com/biblibre/kohac/commit/4f1ca08d13876439ef035af26e8f47833a90bc3a
I linked the "fixed_fines" value to the overdue rules instead of the notice.
Actually it is not at all the same goal, but it could help...

> Overdue Notice/Status triggers tool
I am not sure to understand the "on hold" checkbox. It should be
checked on the last tab only, isn't it?

Do you plan to refactore/export into a module (and add unit tests) for
the overdue_notices.pl cronjob?

What about reworking on the tools/overduerules.pl ergonomic? Maybe it
could be better to have 1 line by rules (with all delay, mtt,etc.) and
remove tabs. Just a suggestion.

Good luck! :)
