[BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER]

We're changing things up because Koha is changing things up. We're taking a 
look forward at an upcoming upgrade (at least for ByWater Solutions customers) 
where report links have been altered a bit. You will need to update any links 
you have inserted in your Koha pages to specific reports if you want them to 
continue to work. We'll show you how to do this. It's such an exciting episode, 
we completely forgot how to start the show!

Not everyone is a fan of comments and tags (George), but if you are, then you 
might want to check this video out. Christopher and George will go over the 
basics of setting up and moderating comments and tags, as well as discuss some 
of the differences between the options the two features have. So, ready or not, 
TAG! You're it! Comment below.

If you've every been perplexed by the complexities of writing reports on MARC 
records, then perhaps you will find this video to be helpful. George walks us 
through some SQL to dig into the 000 (Leader) field of your MARC records. He'll 
also cover how this particular field affects field 008. You'll also have the 
added bonus of Christopher exploring some methods of simplifying some SQL logic.

Re: [Koha] Library Membership Agreement

[BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER]

I agree, you could probably achieve this with the patron attributes.  Upload 
the agreement in Koha and make available publicly, and put the link to that 
agreement next to the attribute.  Probably the easiest solution.

I don't think that is possible to do exactly what you want at the moment.

A workaround could be to use the "Patron attribute types" (Koha administration 
> Patrons and circulation). Create some fields to record whether this was 
completed or not.

You may be able to use the uploads tool (Tools > Additional tools >
Uploads) to upload a scanned version of your membership agreement. However, I 
haven't used this tool to any great extent, and I'm not sure how you could link 
it to the patron.

More tricky, and would require developing a plugin, would be to create a plugin 
with a custom consent - see Bug 31503 - Allow several consent types on the 
consents tab of OPAC account page (23.11). I image this could work similar to 
the privacy policy consent (see the PrivacyPolicyConsent system
preference) that requires patrons to agree to the privacy policy consent in the 
OPAC. However, this isn't something I have any knowledge or expertise with.

I think your best bet, unless anyone else has some other ideas, is to use 
patron attributes.

[BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER]

This week we welcome our special guest and koha-US Cataloging SIG leader, 
Heather Hernandez, who will walk us through the basics of using the Koha 
Community Wiki. If you are new to Koha, this is a great resource not only for 
finding reports and customizations, but it is an easy way to help contribute to 
the repository as well (I think I used the right word).

You may or may not know that Koha has a great Self Check system. Let's just 
assume you don't know. Anyway, George and Christopher are going to talk about 
the self check, and some of the things they are doing to make it better, and 
some things that it still needs a little help on. Oh, and chances are, George's 
kids still doesn't like our videos. They'll come around someday.

Cleaning up our data is important. And not everyone does it the same way. 
Sometimes cleaning up data can be a little scary, especially when it comes to 
deleting old patron data. Today George and Christopher talk about their 
workflows for deleting patrons, and some of the pitfalls with deleting these 
records. They'll also talk about a bug in discussion about making improvements 
with deletions in Koha.

Reports have turned a corner. With the ability to apply templates to reports, 
you can now do some amazing things that previously required extra tools outside 
of Koha. Now we have templates (through notices and slips), and with that, the 
use of Template Toolkit also plays a part. George and Christopher will discuss 
some new report aspects that will help change the way you do reports.

[BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER]

It's spring, and time for spring cleaning! Let's start with clean prints from 
reports. Sometimes when you print reports from Koha, you get extra little 
tidbits like menus or wonky margins. Wouldn't it be nice to just tell the 
report to print, and get exactly that? Christopher will go over a printing 
technique he shared as part of an episode in season 2, and apply it to reports, 
and report templates. George will be mostly bored through the whole process, 
but in the end concede that Christopher has once again done a good thing for 
the Koha universe. And everyone will ooh and ah.

[BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER]

Let's face it. We're all really lazy. And what better way to perpetuate that 
laziness than to create a link that just writes email for you! Seriously. You 
write a report, and it gives you the information that you need to put into an 
email. But if it already has the information, why in the world do we need to 
move that information into an email when we can get the report to do it for us? 
I mean, come on! Maybe one day, we can get this down to such a fine science 
that all we have to do is push one button and our work for the day is done. But 
until then, you have this. We're just one step closer to Koha bliss.

Not all accounts are created equal. Some have a special purpose, and need to be 
treated differently. Particularly in ways that Koha itself does not give us 
options for. Until now. George will walk us through some jQuery adjustments 
that will allow you to limit checkouts to particular borrower categories based 
on the library you are logged in as. This may be an important feature to some, 
but I think George just likes the power.

[Koha] Koha Community on Slack

[BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER]

Hi everyone!

I wanted to let you all know, several months ago we morphed the koha-US Slack 
workspace into a Koha Community workspace.  We have really enjoyed using Slack, 
but didn't want to limit the environment to just our user group.  So, we opened 
it up to all.

Please note that koha-US and the Koha Community do not endorse Slack in any 
way.  We just recognize that there are folks that prefer communicating in Slack 
over IRC.  This is in no way trying to replace IRC or force any one form of 
communication on the community.  We simply want to provide another venue for 
people to utilize.  If you like Slack, great!  Put in a request to join the 
workspace.  If not, just toss ignore this message.

Anyway, I've posted a request form to join the Koha Community Slack workspace 
at https://koha-us.org/request-access-to-koha-community-on-slack/.  If you fill 
it out, I'll send you a Slack invite.

[Koha] New meeting time for koha-US General Meetings

[BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER]

Good afternoon,
I just wanted to reach out and let everyone know that starting in January 2024, 
the koha-US General Meetings will be held on the FIRST Wednesday of each month 
instead of the second, but still at 10:30am Central Time.  We needed to swap 
days with the board meeting so our financial gurus could count all the beans in 
a timely manner.  It was just a little too tight for them.  So, be sure to come 
to the meetings on the FIRST Wednesday of the month, not the second.  If you 
come on the second Wednesday, you'll be in our board meeting, and we will be 
sure to volunteer you for something!  Just kidding, but all are welcome to the 
board meeting. It's just business stuff.

For those of you that attend our monthly Conference Committee meeting, that has 
also moved to the first Wednesday of the month, immediately after the general 
meeting, for consistency.

I have updated our event calendar and Website to reflect these changes.  Hope 
to see you next month!

Sincerely,
Christopher Brannon

Okay, are you confused by the Episode in the title? This is the Terrific 
Every-Other-Thursday Training Video's first attempt at a live presentation

great, but when we polish things up, it looks real nice! (Well, nicer.) Anyway, 
we presented this episode at the koha-US 2023 Conference in Portsmouth, NH, and 
it was a fantastic conference!

In case you missed it, in this episode, we explore the nuts and bolts of Koha 
notices, how they work, and the things you can do. Officially aired on 9/21/23, 
but is the official episode for 10/12/23. Enjoy!

special effects, and bend reality before our eyes!" Well, we're not dressing 
up, but I think we'll blow your mind with all the info we throw at you about 
holds and the Transport Cost Matrix. We'll lay out the basics about how holds 
work in Koha, and some important settings you need to know about, and how to 
fine tune the system with the aid of the matrix to maximize the efficiency of 
the holds system. Sorry...we couldn't get Keanu. I guess you'll just have to

Hi folks

We're having a WordPress web site designed for the library by our owning 
institution. We're very fond of our Koha Coverflow new books carousel and we're 
hoping that we can have something like it on our new web site. Has anyone had 
any success with this?  We've seen that there's a WordPress plugin 
(https://wordpress.com/plugins/library-bookshelves) that does something 
similar, but we've not yet had a chance to look at this properly.

[Koha] 2023 koha-US Conference Registration open through August

[BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER]

Registration for this year's conference in Portsmouth, New Hampshire is still 
open!

We want to see you there.  Be sure to register!  And, even though we offer an 
online option, you should really consider coming to New Hampshire in person.

Why should you come in person???  There are several benefits to attending in 
person over attending online:

Networking - build strong relationships with your peers through face-to-face 
interactions which can result in long-lasting, supportive professional 
connections.
New perspectives - getting out of the office, changing your environment, and 
going on a mission to seek support and education will help you come back to the 
workplace rejuvenated.
Brainstorming - in person events inspire people to think creatively, share 
ideas, engage in problem solving, and push their own boundaries.
Risk taking - invest in yourself, step outside your comfort zone, challenge 
yourself in a new environment, put yourself out there and get noticed, meet new 
people who can open doors to success.
Engagement - attending a conference in person increases engagement and 
participation by encouraging you to be fully present. In person attendees 
benefit from eye-to-eye contact, non-verbal cues and body language that leads 
to a more fluid and dynamic exchange of ideas and collaboration.
Fun - incredible, new places to eat with new and old friends and colleagues, 
local culture, new experiences, and taking part in the cultural day activity 
are just a few of the reasons to visit Portsmith, New Hampshire.

Register for the conference here - 
https://koha-us.org/events/conferences/2023-koha-us-annual-conference-portsmouth-nh/

If you have already registered to attend online, consider coming in person.  
Just let us know at conferen...@koha-us.org, and 
we'll update your registration.  We would love to see you there!

[Koha] The Terrific Every-Other-Thursday Training Video | S3E21 | Permission Reports

[BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER]

Sometimes math sucks. And figuring out the math for a report on permissions is 
the worst. Christopher and George with share their approaches to creating 
reports that will help you keep a handle on who has what permissions. While the 
reports are more advanced, the outcome is quite simple and extremely helpful. 
And they challenge users to find better solutions to keeping up with the 
ever-changing permissions beast.

[Koha] The Terrific Every-Other-Thursday Training Video | S3E20 | Anonymization and Pseudonymization

[BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER]

We can't pronounce it at all, but we sure can talk about it.  We've had 
anonymization around for a while, but pseudonymization is a mouth-full and a 
fairly new topic.  In fact, it is so new we brought a guest on today's episode 
to help slaughter the word, while bringing light to the subject.  Help reduce 
the clutter of your data while securing your patron's privacy.  All this and 
Rogan Hamby.  Whoops!  I should have encrypted his name!!!

Yes, that is right. We're lazy. So lazy, in fact, that we want the system to do 
things for itself. That's why this week we've decided to talk about the 
Automatic Item Modifications feature of Koha. Heck, we're so lazy that we would 
have had an AI do all the talking about this feature, but I guess were not

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"

Dear all,

We are using Koha 22.05.06.

When displaying OPAC holdings on a mobile device, they are in column (or
table) format (like showing on a desktop computer).  In earlier versions, they 
were not displayed in such a format.

How can I change this to a non-column (or table) format, so information are 
more readable?

Kind regards,

Iming Chan

[BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER]

Hold it! Don't go any further. If you are looking for a way to wrangle your 
holds better around closed libraries, you should check out this video. George 
shows us ways to force "suspend until" dates for particular libraries, as well 
as work around some unexpected bugs with default hold expiration dates in 
current versions of Koha. I can't wait! But your patrons will have to if you 
implement these tweaks.

Re: [Koha] Find and searching result

[BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER]

I think 90% of users (and that is generous) don't know and understand working 
around Boolean, nor should they have to.  They're not going to get the results 
they want, and they will give up.  Boolean is great if used in the advanced 
search interface, but for general searches it either needs to be left out or 
the results explained when Boolean kicks in.  There is no good reason it should 
behave this way.

Hi Tony

are you using Zebra?

If you don't want Zebra to interpret and, or and not as boolean operators, you 
can use quotes around your query:
"Philosophy and education George Knight"

Hope this helps,

It is with great sadness that I pass on to you all the news that Rosalie Blake 
has passed away.
Rosalie was the Head Librarian at Horowhenua Library Trust when Koha was 
started and without her Koha would not exist.
But more than this Rosalie was an amazing person, a librarian who always 
thought outside the box, a gifted potter, a friend to many and a beloved mother 
and grandmother.

Details around the funeral and memorial note should be available tomorrow.
But I am sure you will all join me holding Rosalie's family and friends in your 
thoughts.

Tiwhatiwha te pō, tiwhatiwha te ao.

I did look in the database itself and do find a count of 93 items in the 
'virtualshelves' table.

 

Anyone have any suggestions?

 

Thanks!

[Koha] The Terrific Every-Other-Thursday Training Video - S3E3 - Patron Validation - Part 1

[BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER]

You know, I just pour my heart into Koha.  I don't ask for a lot.  But when I 
do, it would just be nice to get some validation.  What?  You hear me?  You 
really do care about our data?  It's so NICE to be validated!  In fact, let's 
start a small series on patron data validation.

For some reason this didn't go through last week to the list.  Trying again:

We've got nothing clever to say about this episode, but the episode speaks for 
itself. If you need to do some batch modifications to marc records that you 
can't do in Koha, then this is the tool for you. George will show you how to 
connect MarcEdit to your Koha server so you can work your magic. (Some assembly

Re: [Koha] Koha 21.11.10 version, New Patrons email notice

[BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER]

Katrin,
I think this is something different.  The change to WELCOME does not 
take place until version 22.05 according to 
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30237.  The version 
in question is 21.11.10.  Correct me if I am wrong.  I don't see this as 
backported in the bug.

Hi,

in the new version the notice can not longer be used to sent a password
and the lettercode was changed to WELCOME. Check if you have a WELCOME
notice defined. It will also be sent through the message_queue now, so
you can check for entries in the table as well.

Hope this helps,

Re: [Koha] Background jobs in Koha menu "Administration"

[BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER]

Michael,
With just a cursory look, I would assume something like 1/1 means 1 
job, 1 completed.  Something like 2/1 would mean 2 jobs, 1 completed.  0/0, I 
would assume, means there are no jobs.

Message-ID: 
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed

Hi

We saw in Koha 22.05 there is a new Koha menu "Administration > Manage 
background jobs". Unfortunately there seems to be no entry in the Koha manual 
22.05 for it, also the context-sensitive help just leads to 
https://koha-community.org/manual//21.11/en/html/ (this is in an installation 
of Koha 22.05!).

However the shown list has a column "progress" which can say "1/1" or "0/0" for 
example. What does ist mean? Library personnel thinks "0/0" 
suggests that something went wrong even if column "Status" says "Finished". 
Unfortunately clicking the button "View" does not show more information like 
WHAT biblio or item exactly the entry is referring to.

We saw that Bywater Solutions wrote an article about this new menu ( 
https://bywatersolutions.com/education/koha-21-11-background-jobs-and-task-queue-enhancements
) but our question is not answered there. Can someone please enlighten us what 
"0/0" means?

Best wishes: Michael

[BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER]

We've slipped up again, but in a good way! Check out this week's hack where we 
hi-jack the print summary for our self-registered patrons and create a 
confirmation slip that patrons can sign. If you've ever hesitated using Koha's 
self-registration feature because your library is required to hold on to signed 
applications, this may be the workaround for you.

Re: [Koha] How to copy patron permissions?

[BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER]

Michael,
I've had some jQuery in the Koha library for quite a while.  You should 
take a look at 
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/JQuery_Library#Add_clear_and_preset_permission_buttons.2C_and_a_copy_button_to_user_permissions_page_.28v20.x.29

There are 3 versions of this for different versions of Koha, but this 
latest one includes a clear permissions button, a couple of preset permission 
buttons, and a copy permissions button.  Please check it out.  We also did a 
video tutorial on this enhancement in season one of The Terrific 
Every-Other-Thursday Training Videos.  You can find that here: 
https://youtu.be/M6aQITCJY0U.

Message-ID: 
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed

Hi

Is it possible to copy the permissions of another patron when creating a new 
one?

I always thought this would happen when copying/duplicating an existing patron. 
But when I actually tried it today the permissions were not there with the new 
patron and I had to set them manually.

[Koha] The Terrific Every Other Thursday Training Videos - Season 2 / Episode 12: jQuery: Remove the Trailing Slash from Titles

[BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER]

We're so CRAZY but we're not slashing prices! No! We ARE slashing the slashes 
in the titles! That's right! You too can slash the slash! Simply watch this 
video and apply our jQuery, and you and your patrons can enjoy endless results 
in staff AND OPAC searches without all those pesky trailing slashes! (Only 
applies if you modify the XSLT to remove authors and contributors from the 
title line and may not be valid in all 50 states (just kidding). Side effects 
may include spontaneous jumping for joy after endless ranting about slashes 
being part of the MARC standard for titles, and may alleviate strange looks 
from co-workers as you recount your annoyance at the existence of characters 
mixed in with your data which would otherwise be pristine.)

Hi

Our library is working with Debian GNU/Linux 10 and Koha 21.05.05.

Since the update the check out process does no more respect the circulation 
conditons regarding the due date (the loan period is 1643
days) but instead sets the due date to the current date!

So If I check out a book today the due date is today.

In logfile "intranet-error.log" the following is reported:

[Mon Dec 06 12:04:52.123486 2021] [cgi:error] [pid 21882] [client

Re: [Koha] Koha Digest, Vol 187, Issue 25

[BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER]

Michael,
My knowledge on this is limited, but off the top of my head, I would say no, 
you can't create an account through this method.  As you said, Shibboleth is 
just about authentication.  You could setup a link to the separate online 
registration, and have it in a category that would authenticate right off the 
bat, but people might abuse that.  There should be a staff member that 
moderates registrations...until Koha can do it on it's own.  That is not likely 
to happen if multiple accounts can use the same e-mail address. 

Hope this helps.

Subject: [Koha] Koha, Shibboleth and autocreation of users
Message-ID: 
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed

Hi

We are trying to implement Shibboleth with Koha. As far as I understand 
Shibboleth is just about authentication (allowing users to sign in using 
just one identity to various systems).

Now the library (that doesn't want to link Koha to LDAP directly) 
suggests that Koha should create a user the first time when that user 
logs into Koha through Shibboleth resp. the single sign-on IDP. The SSO 
IDP is using underlying LDAP to give back the "mail" and "uid" 
attributes from LDAP.

Is it possible that Koha autocreates new users this way?

I couldn't really find the answer to this or the way to go in 
https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fwiki.koha-community.org%2fwiki%2fShibboleth_Configuration=E,1,cV_OOHSDy3SNMgiIuSEjnZToJWHmwXU8dBOKfJV-R60l4JcZL39sUEC-Kyo62R7hyQksCiqmwerZWJkRUlxn7-ZbT_3tBAE_SR0EuhoMRu0,=1
 but then 
again I am trying to implement Shibboleth in Koha the very first time...

Lisa,
Our self check stations consist of a touch screen, a small computer that mounts 
to the back of the touch screen, a barcode scanner and a receipt printer.  You 
don't need anything more than that.  You can use Koha's self check software, or 
there is other software, free or paid.  If you want more information, feel free 
to contact me and I can get you more specifics.

Hi koha community,

is there an easy way to temporarily disable the hold notice for all patrons? 
Letter code HOLD.

We want to skip hold notices for a few weeks, then turn them back on.

Is there a syspref? Do we have to manipulate the message preferences of every 
patron?

Koha version 17.11.

Thanks in advance,
Holger

There is a limit.  I don't remember what it is, but I had to split a bib in two

Re: [Koha] OPAC Browsing Kiosk

[BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER]

Joel,
The best free kiosk software I have found is OpenKiosk.  It is built 
off FireFox.  I don't know that you will be able to do what you want with 
removing logins, holds and carts without some smart jQuery based on IP 
addresses.  However, I can tell you, we use this in our library for all our 
catalogs and self checks, and it works great.  It will reset the session, 
removing history, and any logins.  You can set how long it sits idle before 
resetting, and it will warn the user in case they are still there.  You can 
remove navigation, so it only depends on where the site you point to takes 
them.  But if you want to make the links in the 856u field, I would suggest 
jQuery to make them inert, again, based on IP.  You could whitelist the catalog 
in the OpenKiosk settings, but you would also have to whitelist all the 
resources it relies on.  So, it would take some work, however you approach it.  
 Otherwise, you would probably be better off setting up a second catalog 
address that you could customize for this purpose.

I hope this helps.

Message-ID:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"

I'm investigating adding a kiosk to our library. I can handle getting a
generic workstation to load the web site I ask for in full-screen/kiosk
mode on my own, but I'm having a hard time finding how to get Koha to show
a view that won't allow breaking out of the kiosk.

I want the following features:


   1. Disable external links, especially anything in an 856u field.
   2. Disable logging in. We don't want someone walking away and leaving
   their account active for someone else to use.
   3. Since you can't log in, there's no need to show things like "Place a
   hold" or "Add to cart"
   4. This needs to happen ONLY in the kiosk view. That is, we also want
   the OPAC to work normally when accessed from other places.

This will not be used for self-checkout, at least at this time. We're
talking about using this instead of the old-school card catalog for someone
who can't browse via a phone or other device.

The idea is this is a walk-up machine in the library, and rather than using
a feature like Lists the patron will write the call number on scratch paper
provided right there and immediately go pull the book, which is likely to
be located within 15 yards of the kiosk. But patrons should still also be
able to do all those other things when viewing the kiosk from home or other
locations.

And what happens to those holds once they are cancelled?  Will they trigger the

Whether it is batch or not, you have to process everything again to see if

Re: [Koha] Separate hold queues?

[BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER]

Andreas,
Our consortium simply does not show the patron where they are in the 
queue.  We find it to be misleading, due to the number of items available to be 
placed on hold, local holds priority, cancellations, and high demand loan 
periods that kick in.  Plus there is the rare occasion a hold is shifted.  
Showing that information is just inviting patrons to try and manage what the 
system is doing.  We do let them know how many requests are on the record, but 
that is it.  We never let them know where they are in the queue, even if they 
ask.  This has worked very well for us.

Hi all!

We are at Stockholm University Library experiencing some difficulties with how 
Koha is currently handling hold queues, and are considering development in this 
area. Are there any other libraries who are experiencing similar issues (see 
below), and would be interested in the development of separate hold queues? Or 
have an opinion on whether this would be a good/bad idea?

In Koha today it is possible to limit the fulfilment of holds per branch (same 
pick-up location as home/holding library) and item type. For us, it makes most 
sense to view this as several hold queues for one bibliographic record. For 
example: a person queuing for a book from the textbook collection (item type = 
”TC”) isn’t actually queuing for books for the general collection (item type = 
”GC”). But Koha handles this as one big queue. This isn’t a problem for the 
holds per se, as Koha only fetches the book that has the right criteria to fill 
the hold (i.e. the correct item type or home/holding library) but it has proven 
to be an issue for our patrons.

As Koha displays it as one big queue, it might seem that the queue is much 
bigger that it actually is. This has confused a number of patrons, and have 
discouraged others from placing holds. Continuing our example: a book has three 
patrons on hold for item type GC, when a new patron adds a hold for TC. This 
makes this person number four in the queue in Koha today, making the patrons 
believe that they will have to wait weeks or months for the book (in our 
library TC is 7 days, GC 28 days) when in reality it is only one week.

For us, this would better be described as two queues:
One with 3 patrons on hold (General collection) One with 1 patron of hold 
(Textbook collection)

The same is true for hold fulfilment that require pick-up location to be the 
same as home/holding library (i.e. hold fulfilment per branch). Say a public 
library also have a school library in it’s organization, that is a special case 
where books from the other libraries should not be sent to the fulfil holds, or 
vice versa. As in our example above it would be better to display queues 
separately so 5 holds at the main library won’t discourage a student from 
placing a hold on that same book at the school library.

So my question is basically, is there are other libraries out there who are 
using any of these hold fulfilment features (or would like to), and would want 
to see a new feature to separate/split hold queues? Or who could see the 
benefit of such a feature.

Please note that separate hold queues would of course only come in effect if 
any system preference that limits hold fulfilment is set to allow. Also, this 
would not effect holds to pull.

I look forwards to hearing people’s opinion about this!

Best regards,
Andreas

Re: [Koha] Finding patron's previous card number?

[BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER]

Actually this is a very common problem.  We run into the same issue here, and 
unless we record the change in patron notes, we have no way to know the old 
number unless the patron recalls it.

It would be great if the logs recorded these types of changes.

Subject: [Koha] Notes on Self Checkout
Message-ID: <1457454364078-5877806.p...@n5.nabble.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hello all,

Offering some hopefully constructive criticism of the self-checkout module
et cetera. 

Details: 
I've just finished upgrading to Koha 3.22.04, with Perl 5.02. 

The following are enabled: 
AllowSelfCheckReturns   
AutoSelfCheckAllowed
AutoSelfCheckID
AutoSelfCheckPass (with the info of a staff user who had first circulate,
and later superlibrarian permissions)
WebBasedSelfCheck 

1. First off, the information in the Koha manual in section 5.12 has been
unchanged since version 3.8. I believe the code snippet that's meant to be
pasted into IntranetUserJS is incorrectly formatted. I can't get it to work,
after having removed the line breaks and fiddling with various things. To
access the SCO, therefore, I've used a plain HTML hyperlink which is
inserted in "opacheader". This works fine. 

2. It turns out that users must be assigned a card number in order to use
either the barcode OR the username/password logins to the SCO. This was
probably a dumb error on my part, but it's not a totally obvious dependency
either as far as the u/p login is concerned. 

Anyway, after that the SCO allows a patron with no permissions to log in,
either with barcode or with u/p, and check out books by barcode. The SCO
correctly displays a blue message with the right username. 

3. In 3.22 the bug where one would return to opac-main logged in as the
checkout staff user has been fixed; however it now redirects to a log-in
screen rather than the catalog main page, which I don't really like. I'll
toy with this. The most seamless Apple Inc. solution would be to return
someone to the main screen still logged into their patron account, but
perhaps the recent SCO bugfixes have ruled this out. 

4. In the SCO files by default the "koha" header in the top left corner is
pointed to /opac/sco/sco-main.pl. This is useless. I fix this by editing
/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/includes/masthead-sco.inc,
and replacing the link in line 7 with /cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl so that
someone can click "Koha" to escape the SCO. This seems much more intuitive
to me. (Adding a "home" link would serve the same purpose, but this is
easier.)

5. Very ambitious - I would really like the capacity to dump the contents of
the cart into the self-checkout so that it is a one-click process (barring
the login), but I think I lack the programming knowledge for this. Some sort
of simple script which saved the contents of the cart and then injected
barcodes one by one into the self-checkout, automatically, is what I'm
envisioning. Most of the parts required seem to be already there. I will
experiment and probably open this as its own question at some later point.
Any pro bono contribution to this would be very much appreciated. 

At this point the only actual PROBLEM is that SCO users are unable to return
books through the SCO. I click the return button on an active checkout and
nothing happens - the page reloads and the item is still checked-out. It
seems like all the right preferences are on. If I figure this out I'll post;
if anyone else has resolved please let me know. 

Thanks,
Andrew

Re: [Koha] [ByWater Partners] [Koha North America] Your suggestions for a new name of Koha NA

[BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER]

I think too many people have too much time on their hands to squabble about 
stuff.  We could waste a LOT of time trying to come up with something 
wonderful, that rolls off the tongue, and is a cool acronym, and offends the 
least amount of people.

I vote for Koha Super Duper User Group!

Has anything like this idea ever been proposed for Koha? A Netflix-like holds 
queue that patrons can set up?

https://alissadale.wordpress.com/2011/10/03/i-want-a-library-book-queue/

It was suggested on our statewide Tech group, and I was intrigued enough by the 
idea that I thought I'd inquire...

Re: [Koha] Koha NA user's conference 2016 (Jesse Lambertson)

[BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER]

The conference committee has not made any decisions at this time on the next 
meeting.  However, it will definitely be in a different region.  For sake of 
fairness, it will most likely be mid or western states for 2016.

Good morning everyone,

I am putting together some budget information for 2016 and I am curious if 
anyone in North America is thinking about where the 2016 NA user's group 
meeting will be.

It just helps me to get as accurate data as possible,

Thank you in advance,

Jesse
