Re: [Koha] koha notices PREDUE and PREDUEDGST
Hi Chris, I am not sure if the item syntax is available in PREDUE and PREDUEDGST notices, but I also spot a error in your pasted template. In order for it to work you need a closing /item at the end. itembiblio.title by biblio.author, items.itemcallnumber, Barcode: items.barcode/item Also make sure all item fields are on one line, with no line breaks. Safest bet is using items.content. It's the older syntax and should work. I know for sure it does in 3.2.x. Hope that helps, Katrin -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: koha-boun...@lists.katipo.co.nz im Auftrag von Chris Meech Gesendet: Mo 23.01.2012 21:10 An: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Betreff: [Koha] koha notices PREDUE and PREDUEDGST Hi, Our circulation notices PREDUE Advance Notice of Item Due and PREDUEDGST Advance Notice of Item Due (Digest) are not working properly. They email out to the correct address and with the correct patron name but they do not complete other variable fields. Other notices work fine. In fact the PREDUE and PREDUEDGST have some of the same code as our ODUE notice that works. Does anyone have any suggestions why this might be the case? Below is an example of the partially complete email received by a patron. Dear Christopher MEECH According to our current records, you have item/s that will be due soon.

[Koha] backdating, merge patrons and telecirc
Hi All, Is it true that there is no backdating feature in Koha? By this I mean, the ability to check-in items (e.g. book drop stuff) with check-in dates of the previous day (or even several days ago to handle long weekends). Is it true there is no handy way to identify duplicate patrons and to merge select patron records into one record? What about telecirc...is anyone currently using a telephone-based notification system (such as Asterisk) with Koha?

[Koha] Patrons cannot place holds from OPAC
When a patron tries to place a hold from the OPAC, they receive a message Sorry, none of these items can be placed on hold. When staff tries to place a hold for the same, a message pops up CANNOT PLACE HOLD Too many holds... We can then click through, but not in the OPAC. When you check the holds for the patron, the record shows no holds. These are all items on which folks should be able to place holds. Is this one of those deals where we need to change our settings? If so, where and how? Thanks.

Re: [Koha] backdating, merge patrons and telecirc
We have the same issue with backdating. If you want to go back farther than the last day open, then the bookdrop function doesn't do you much good. We have a bookdrop that we only check once a week, for example. And our circ manager tells me she would like the freedom to do other things with backdating. It would be nice to have a feature where you could actually select the date for checkin. ByWater Solutions is currently working on a telephony solution. --Jim ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
[Koha] integration of electronic content
Could anyone point me to a library catalog that does a great job integration e-content into their catalog? I am assuming this will mostly be e-books unless someone knows a library that has done a great job integrating databases as well (and could direct me to those libraries-this wouldn't be evident without an account but I'd still like to know if someone has done a good job of it so I can talk to them).

Re: [Koha] Patrons cannot place holds from OPAC
Thanks, Liz. That was it exactly. We don't have the all/all default setup. --Jim On Mon, Jan 23, 2012 at 4:44 PM, Liz Rea l...@nekls.org wrote: I suspect that you have an incorrectly set default rule in your circ and fine rules, see this section of the manual, paying special attention to the section marked *Important*: http://manual.koha-community.org/3.6/en/patscirc.html#circfinerules http://manual.koha-community.org/3.6/en/patscirc.html#circfinerulesThe basic gist: every library must have a default-default rule set up, go ahead and add a new one if you're not sure. There is also a system preference for maxreserves which should be defaulted to 50, but you may want to make sure that it's not set to 0. It's under Patrons in the system preferences.

Re: [Koha] Problem with new functionnality Hard Due Dates
I believe there is a development in the works to make it so that you can edit rules in the Circulation and Fines matrix, but I can't seem to find the bug link for you. Maybe someone else can provide the link to the bug/enhancement that talks about making it so that you can edit the circulation rules instead of recreating them. Nicole 2012/1/23 Laquerre, Anthony anthony.laque...@ccsr.qc.ca: 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 ?
