[Koha-devel] Changing the lost card value

[Stephen Graham]

Actually I just testing this now and cannot get it to work. I'm getting an error about not being able to write to the plack-opac-error.log file. I'm logged in as the usual koha user, and it's for a non-web script - never seen that before. I guess it's not working and it's trying to log the error to the plack log. 

I have the below, it's print User has a lost card, and then bombs out.

my $user = Koha::Patrons->find($userid);
if ($user->lost) {
        print "User has a lost card\n";
        $user->lost(0)->store();
} else {
        print "NO lost card\n";
}

Thanks Jonathan. I understand that the find method returns a Patron object, but don't understand where lost comes from. It's not a method in Patron is it? I guess it's a shortcut to update any individual database field value?

Hi Stephen,

You can use
  Koha::Patrons->find(42)->lost(0)->store;
to set borrowers.lost to 0 for patron with borrowernumber=42.

Cheers,
Jonathan

I’ve searched through the Koha::Patron and C4::Members perldoc and had a quick look through the memberentry.pl code to see how this handles it, but I can’t seem to work out how it done. I want to change the value of the lost card field to zero. I can see the “lost” field in the borrowers table, so could update the value directly via SQL, but there must be a Koha method that I can use to do this? Any help/advice much appreciated!
