Dear Friends, Cooperation of end users and developers is necessary for the good health of Free/Open Source software projects. Library professionals are end users of Koha. The main aim of the survey is that know the participation and contribution of Library professionals to Koha project. This research revolves around a central question: "What do we need to do to derive benefit from Koha project?"

Re: [Koha] Overdue report/count at year-end
Hi Steve, I think I'd start with comparing the date_due and the returndate in old_issues to figure out which items were returned late and go from there.

Re: [Koha] Fines not charged
Hi, I have been thinking about this and I am not sure what might cause the problem you see - but here are some ideas on where I would start looking: - system preference finesmode is set to calculate and charge fines - system preference maxfine is > 0 or empty - circulation conditions: fine amount, fine charging interval, and overdues fines cap are > 0 - circulation conditions: suspension in days and max suspension duration are not used - fines.pl is running regularly Hope you can get it working, Katrin Am 01.08.2014 um 10:29 schrieb Tom Obrien: > Hi all, > I have the same problem.

Re: [Koha] SIP2 AF field sent even if patron password is invalid
Hi, In my experience not all libraries require a password or PIN at the self check station. One of the reasons can be that the self check used doesn't have a full keyboard but only a number pad and we can't limit passwords in Koha to be only numeric. So keeping the option to work without passwords would be good. > On Thu, Jul 31, 2014 at 9:21 AM, Colin Campbell > wrote: >> Many of the early sip devices considered the fact a user had wanded a >> barcode, security enough.

I agree that we shouldn't send patron information if a wrong password was provided. Maybe it could be a configuration switch that defines if passwords are expected and react accordingly?

[Koha] Bulk Print Patron Summaries
Is there a way to print patron summaries in bulk? We want to be able to run a report to show all patron accounts with overdues and then print their patron summaries in bulk. Is there as simple way to do this, or will we have to run a report for overdues and then export summaries manually.
