Thanks for the suggestion but it's not really "user friendly". We will update all our Hard due date to empty for now,using sql, and we will try to find a solution before the end of the session.
BTW : Some librairies truly like the new way to work... some other dont. The problem is that when you have tons of rules, this new feature is impossible use :-( Anthony -----Message d'origine----- De : Mason James [mailto:m...@kohaaloha.com] Envoyé : 24 janvier 2012 04:58 À : Laquerre, Anthony Cc : koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Objet : Re: [Koha] Problem with new functionnality Hard Due Dates On 2012-01-24, at 9:46 AM, Laquerre, Anthony wrote: > Hi all, > > I would like to share our experience with 3.6 regarding this new > functionality of Hard Due Date: > http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5548 > Please let me know if I need to put this comment elsewhere.. > > I would like to see with you what kind of workaround I can use :-) > > Basically, globalduedate and ceilingduedate has been removed and > automatically fill the circ. rule instead. > Look's great at first but, our libraries are all "school type" and we were > modifying the ceilingdue at least 3 times each year. > We we putting the "End of session" as the max return date. > You also need to know that most of the libraries have a lot for circ. rule. > ( From 50 to up to 200 ). > > In the current state, we need to ask our librarians to manually update all > the rules each time they want to specify a new ceiling due date. > We can't only modify circ. rule so we need to redo them from scratch... > So you can now see that this new feature is a big regression for us. > Maybe not a regression, but error prone / time consuming problem. > > Is there any way to batch update an entire set of circ. rule to a new Hard > due date ? > Any other idea you can share to help us ? one line of SQL would probably work here, as a quicky? try experimenting with SQL on your test Koha system _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
