Hi Katrin, Good point re: offline circulation, though if Koha is offline, our self-service stations will be offline too, so that wouldn't be an issue, for us anyway Kind regards David Hughes Systems Librarian Dublin Business School 13-14 Aungier St. Dublin 2 Ireland 00 353 1 417 8744 david.hug...@dbs.ie *http://library.dbs.ie <http://library.dbs-students.com/>* On Thu, 13 Dec 2018 at 12:16, Katrin Fischer wrote: > Hi Hugh, > > we have seen some weird behavior with the timestamps and self checks > too.

[Koha] Circulation timestamps
Hi, I'm not sure if this a bug, or merely an observation, but I think it's worth noting. A colleague drew my attention to a reader who, according to the circulation history tab on their patron record, returned 5 books at one of our self-service stations at 2am this morning. The problem being we close at 10pm. Nobody thinks the reader broke into the library specifically to return overdue books. The more mundane solution was that somehow, the clock on the self-service station PC was set 12 hours fast. Looking at the circulation log, the books were returned at 2pm yesterday. Querying the statistics table for the reader's borrower number also comes up with books being returned yesterday at 2pm. Doing the same for the old_issues table comes up the books being returned at 2am this morning. So it's possible for the statistics and old_issues tables to show different return dates on books; statistics datetime seems to come from the Koha server, but old_issues returndate seems to come from the date/time on the local machine. The reader's books were overdue, but we have a one day grace period before fines are incurred - these fines come from the books being returned today at 2am after being due on the 11th - so fine information seems to come from the return date on the local machine. I am a humble librarian who may be completely wrong about this, but shouldn't the return date on both tables come from the same place and fines be generated from the server time, not the local machine?

[Koha] Report help
Hi, I want to create a report that gives a grand total of records with various combinations of two different patron attributes. I have two different borrower_attributes.code values "CC" and "CD" and I want to output the grand totals of records with all permutations of borrower_attributes.attribute that have these codes. So if borrower_attributes.code CC has values 1, 2, 3 etc and borrower_attributes.code CD has values A, B C I'd want to output the grand totals of all records having CC value "1" CD value "A" CC value "1" CD value "B" CC value "1" CD value "C" .. CC value "2" CD value "A" CC value "2" CD value "B" etc This is outwith the scope of my very limited SQL, so I'd appreciate any help that the community would be able to offer. Thanks.

[Koha] Anonymous external link tracking
Hi, When the TrackClick OPAC parameter is set to 'Track anonymously' is the biblionumber recorded? I know that the borrowernumber isn't recorded, but according to the manual "If you choose to ‘Track anonymously’ then the borrowernumber will not be recorded, but the rest of the data will." I have this parameter set to 'Track Anonymously' and it looks like neither biblionumber or borrowernumber is being recorded. It'd be nice for our stats if we could track biblionumbers while not recording borrowernumbers. We're using Koha 16.11 Thanks.
