Overdue notices and email
by Paul Dokken 22 May '25

22 May '25

How can I change the display name for the email that I use to send email via a gmail smtp server in Koha? How can I send out a PREDUE notification? I see there is an advanced_notices.pl and an overdue_notices.pl. I see where to configure the overdue notices in the staff site but not advanced. Also I have the following code that does not seem to work to display the items. I have set up a patron with multiple overdue items setup for testing. The notice is called ODUE1 and I have a delay=1 Dear [% borrower.firstname %] [% borrower.surname %], This is a friendly reminder that you have items that are overdue. You can go to https://library.jaars.org to see the list and renew them if you like [% IF items.size %] [% FOREACH item IN items %] - Title: [% item.title %] - Due: [% item.date_due %] [% END %] [% ELSE %] (No items were found.)

As Owen said, you can't disable the output of email and phone number from Patron in the report, but it's a really good question. I know I have a preference for hiding personal information in reports as well. I think it's worth raising a report on https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3 for that enhancement to hide the personal information .

Re: [Koha] circulation overdues report
by George Williams 21 May '25

Igor, I'm assuming that you're using Koha 24.11. If you are, there are three ways you can make the patron information on Koha's built in Overdues report more secure. Option 1 -- If your primary concern is having the borrower's name displayed on the screen, but you still want staff to be able to click directly to the borrower's account, you can go to * Home > Administration > System preferences * Then go to Staff interface preferences * Then scroll down to Options * Then change the preference "HidePatronName" from "Show" to "Don't show" This will take the borrower's name off of the report and only show you the card number (which will link to the borrower's account). It still displays the phone number and has a link to the e-mail address, so this is more secure if your concern is to get the borrower's name off of the screen, but it doesn't go as far as you suggest you want to go in your initial e-mail. ----- Option 2 -- If you want to remove 100% of the data from the display but still give your staff the option to display the information if needed, * Click the Configure tool at the top of the table (this will take you to Home > Administration > Table settings > Circulation > Overdues > Table id: circ-overdues) * Check "Is hidden by default" checkbox in the "patron" row * Then click "Save" This will remove the "Patron" column from the Overdues report, but if a staff member still needs the data, they can still use the "Columns" tool to turn the column back on. ----- Option 3 - If you want to remove 100% of the data from the display and make it impossible for staff to retrieve it * Click the Configure tool at the top of the table (this will take you to Home > Administration > Table settings > Circulation > Overdues > Table id: circ-overdues) * Check the "Is hidden by default" checkbox in the "patron" row * Check the "Cannot be toggled" checkbox in the "patron" row * Then click "Save" This removes the "Patron" column from the report and removes the controls for that column from the column configuration tool so that no one can enable the column in the future.

Re: [Koha] MARC modification templates
by Eric Phetteplace 21 May '25

21 May '25

Hi Igor, Use a regular expression in a copy and replace action in a modification template. The documentation you linked to has an example if you scroll down (see "You could also use regular expressions to add your library’s proxy URL in front of links in your MARC record."). Note that if you have multiple 856 fields in a record the templates may struggle to process both, or at least I have found that sometimes I need to bulk modify records with pymarc or MarcEdit outside Koha in these instances.

Hi! How to use "MARK modification templates" if you need to replace only a part? For example: 856 4 _uhttp://aeer.ru/files/io/m14/art_17.pdf need to get: 856 4 _uhttp://old.aeer.ru/files/io/m14/art_17.pdf https://koha-community.org/manual//24.11/en/html/cataloging.html#marc-modif… Good Luck!
