Re: [Koha] Drupal Koha Libraries
Should say that one reason I don't understand the jiggery-pokery is that we rely heavily on Catalyst IT here in Wellington who have a nice Drupal team as well as being pretty damn fine at Koha. Together they found (and find) ways to make everything we asked for work, I'm not sure how.

We seem to have close to exactly the same setup - Koha, Drupal, EDS, ezproxy. https://library.education.govt.nz - though you won't get much out of that as the site requires login (I know, I know...). Major things we're doing which involve both Drupal and Koha are 1) Using drupal module ILS authentication and some extra jiggery-pokery that's beyond my ken to tie Koha and Drupal authentication and users together (same logins, login in one system automatically logs into the other, Koha borrower.categorycodes are mapped to Drupal roles which allows differentiation of content of drupal site for different groups of users). 2) Drupal asks Koha to run a report nightly (basic data for new/selected records - title, abstract, subjects terms, url etc) and creates nodes from the results which are presented as new resources in the website and are emailed out by Drupal to borrowers who have signed up for alerts in various subject areas. We also used Ebsco's 'Build a search box' to give users access to EDS, and still have a Koha search option alongside. Our ezproxy uses Koha to Authenticate users as well so same username/password for users without us having to think about it (not sure how yours is configured).

[Koha] Limiting (refining) ccl searches by availability
Koha 3.12.02 Is there a way to limit (or refine) a ccl search by item availability? It seems to me that refining the results of a ccl search by attempting to limit to currently available items is treated like an added 'and kw,wrdl=available' parameter. Which gives unexpected results. Am I right? Is there a way of limiting a ccl search to currently available items?

[Koha] Why are our borrowers being restricted?
On koha 3.6.4 borrowers with overdues are being restricted. We don't want them to be restricted. Restrictions are put in place about 5 minutes before emailed overdue notices are received, so guessing it's the same process. Overdue notice/status triggers Restrict column is unchecked. Preference OversBlockCirc is set to Don't block All fines are set to 0.00, MaxFine is set to 0.00. Maxoutstanding and Noissuescharge is set to 100.00. Anyone see any obvious preferences we may have missed that could be causing this?

Ah, I feel slightly silly, but better for having asked. Thanks Jared, (and Katrin Chris). It's obvious, when you look at it right.

It's not exactly obvious, but could you check the Overdue notice/status triggers again, and make sure that you either don't have overdue triggers for any libraries other than the default library, or that *none* of them have the Restrict box checked? Also, when you say restricted, what is the exact message you are getting when you go to check out books to this patron? (or, if you are noticing the restriction in another context, where exactly do you notice the restrictions) Ah ha! Thank you Jared! Tim, if you go to Overdue notice/status triggers and switch the library drop down from All, to Ministry of Education. I bet you have restrict switched on there.
