Improving permissions on lists (virtual shelves)
by Marcel de Rooy 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

Hi all, Still hoping to get some feedback on this subject, I would now propose the following. Please respond to the list, if you agree or disagree. 1 Do not allow to create a public list in the OPAC. (Only private lists.) Public lists are only created by staff users in the staff client. 2 Add three permission options to any list: a) Allow adding entries b) Allow deleting your own entries (that you added) and c) Allow deleting entries that someone else added. This makes the distinction between public list and open list no longer needed and adds some refinement in lists management. Only the owner of the list can change these permissions. 3 Add a new (opac) feature to private lists: Share a list (with another patron). Let the user share access to a list by Koha sending an email with a URL including some (temporary) invitation key. When the invited patron clicks that URL (when logged in) he gains access (in accordance with the described permission options for that specific list). The invited patron can always 'delete' the shared list, i.e. delete the share. The owner can 'unshare' the list and remove all shares for that list. 4 With respect to user privacy, a feature may be added in staff client to moderate shared list names. 5 Possibly, libraries do not want patrons sharing lists. So the option could be disabled with a preference. In that case points 2 and 3 still apply. Note that the shared private list concept makes report 7281 (Hiding some lists) obsolete. Bug 7310 will be used for this feature. Your comments are very welcome! Marcel

Primary & secondary email addresses
by Cab Vinton 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

Does anyone know how Koha (3.04.02) handles emailed notices when there is a secondary email address, but no primary address? My suspicion is that no notice is sent out & the notice is bundled into the compiled "Overdue Notices" message to the admin for patrons w/out addresses ...

Autocomplete values in catalogue data entry
by Olugbenga Adara 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

Hello, Is it possible to turn on autocomplete in certain fields in the framework used in cataloging? For example tag 260 place of publication and publisher can really benefit from picking from a value entered before.

Sorry for my bad english and thanks a lot for any help. Giulio Bonanome

Koha Training in Samoa
by jowitt_al 03 Dec '11

03 Dec '11

Talofa Koha Community Hopefully in 2012 the USP Library in Alafua, Samoa will start using the Koha Library software. At the moment we are working on the migration and testing process. I need to put in a proposal for funding to train local library and IT staff in Koha operation and support. 1. Does anyone have a week long training programme they would be willing to share showing topics/modules covered and time taken to cover each? This would need to cover library staff end user training and IT technical training. 2. If you offer technical and library staff training in the Koha system I would be happy to hear what you can offer and most importantly how much it costs! Samoa is a beautiful but developing country. We have many coconut palm trees here and lovely beaches however money trees are not common! In order to get funding, costs will have to be very reasonable. We expect to pay flights and per diem for the days someone will be in Samoa however during the training I would like to cover technical support and any problem solving we require, some development to ensure functionality we need and library staff training in the essential modules they will be using. I hope this is not a tall order?! I look forward to hearing from you asap as my proposal for funding is due in on 6th December 2011. Thanks for any help you can give.

Show suspension days left
by anjoze 03 Dec '11

03 Dec '11

Hi again, When I try to checkout an Item to a *suspended Patron* I receive the message saying: /Patron has had overdue items and is blocked for XX day(s)./ If I try to checkout again on the next day, it will show* the same number of days.* Until the end of the suspended period it shows the same number of days! So, if a few days later that Patron ask me how many days left, I can't tell him :( Is there a way to show the suspension remaining days? Or Is it possible to build a report with that info? Thank you very much, JA -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Show-suspension-days-left-tp5043511p50435… Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
