[Koha-devel] Koha barcode - ID Processing

[Jeremy Smith]

Hello,

 

I wonder if you can point use in the right direction to modify the Koha
system we’ve just installed?

We’ve set up a basic system to use with bar codes and bar code readers for
both items and patrons.

The problem is that our ID card barcodes add two leading 0s to staff IDs (7
digits vs 9 digits for students) and also the last number is not part of the
ID number but the card issue number.

 

Somehow we want to intercept the string to remove any leading zeros and also
delete the last digit before it gets used as the patron number by Koha.

 

Could you give us a pointer as to where I should be looking  (i.e. any
documentation or which module to look at) and what string I should be
processing?

 

Many thanks,

 

Jeremy
