getiteminformation (%env,$itemnumber,$barcode) doesnt appear to be working. I run a query in mysql that $iteminformation (fetchrow_hash'ed) does .. and get a result. anywhere that getiteminformation is run (circulation and catalog item/barcode boxes) i get a $rejected response.. i.e $barcode is not valid. (of course.. im using the varible names in this message.. i dont see them in the webpage.. all i see is the number i entered) getiteminformation is inside C4/circ/circ2.pm

Those of you who are contributors, and are not listed in the FAQ (draft edition) linked off of: http://etome.net/Koha/docs/ I would love to add you. Look forward to adding you. Want to add you. As I am not inclined to discriminate, this includes: Contributors to the FAQ --and-- Contributors to the Code (or both) --and-- Contributors of non-english versions if you are a contributor to a translation version we do not have noted (French, Polish are all I know of), please let me know, possibly with a link to it? Please include, in your request for recognition: Your contributions :) (briefly) Your affiliation, if any (ie "I work for Katipo", or whatever applicable) Where you are (Nation, whatever else you care to add) I ***know*** there are people <looking balefully at at least one or two of the Katipo people who have popped on the list fairly recently> who haven't told me anything :). --Please-- humor me -- the credits list is about the only way we have of saying "thank you". Thanks, Nick ...your semi-vigilant documeister.

Thanks Rachel - In the meantime I'll probably whack together some kind of simple form(s) that users can complete on-line that are auto emailed to library staff.. or maybe sent direct to a library printer? I was thinking that if the printout includes barcodes then it would not be too onerous for library staff to process. We have a current high priority but low volume need for this for some special ed. kids. If anyone has any interesting ideas about quick and dirty solutions I'm interested ;^) Thanks, R.

OPAC Web member services

#From CVS join.html: " Using your library card and password you will be able to review your borrower record with us, check what books you have out, renew them, make requests (reserves), and update your personal details all from the library terminals or your own PC. " Is this currently possible - and if so, then how? If not, has anyone made any progress down that path? Thanks, R.

Library card numbers, branch entry
by Waylon Robertson 27 Mar '02

27 Mar '02

Questions. 1. What are valid library card numbers? i keep trying... worked out a spreadsheet that does the checkdigit subroutine inside C4::Input.pm and got the last digit to match the result.. and its still not valid. 2. I try to add a branch into the branch list.. but it doesnt work, and just shows me a blank page afterwards. Whats wrong?
