remoteprint() routine
by Tonnesen Steve 01 Feb '01

01 Feb '01

Chris: I don't believe that I have the remoteprint() call anywhere in my circulation module. I assume that's the one that prints the issues list? I had to remove the "use" lines for any modules that required CDK, as I wasn't installing it, so I couldn't use C4::Print. Just so you know... Steve

Virtual bookshelves
by Tonnesen Steve 01 Feb '01

01 Feb '01

Hello: I'm toying with the idea of setting up some kind of virtual bookshelf. The idea is that a bookshelf can be created and named, and then books can be searched for in the usual way and added to the bookshelf. I'm hoping to use this for things like printing out card and spine labels, changing subject heading entries for a group of books en masse, withdrawing discards, etc. Anybody have any thoughts on this?

One more note. If you want to see how the charges appear, bar code 1015 is a CD-Rom with a rental fee of $1.50. Demo is at http://koha.cmsd.bc.ca/ still. Steve.

I just discovered Koha while looking for infos about open source library projects. I know nothing about library management but I might participate on a special project as a technical resource. I'd like to know what's the status of Z39.50 and translations to other languages. Thanks -- Marc Lavallée

Web Circulation Daily (Hourly?) Update
by Tonnesen Steve 26 Jan '01

26 Jan '01

Am I posting to often on my web circulation development? Reserves are now working properly. A WAITING flag shows up for the patron if a reserve is waiting for them during issues or returns. A notification is displayed when a reserved item is returned. I added due date and borrower information to the list of recently returned items in the returns module (overdue items have the due date shown in red). Cleaned up the tables in the returns interface a bit.

Web Circulation
by Tonnesen Steve 26 Jan '01

26 Jan '01

Finished up a few more items, found some more missing parts: Returns module lists recently returned items Cookies used to store branch and printer choices Link allows you to change branch and printer choices Entering invalid barcode in issues or returns results in an appropriate error message Prettier output when a book is "returned" that wasn't loaned out Still to be done: 1. Prettier graphics. Rachel at Katipo says she'll take of this. :) 2. Reserves are horribly messed up. Reserves aren't updated when the book is returned, and reserve notifications are not shown in the patron info box when books are issued or returned. 3. Overdue fines are almost certainly not being set. 4. Should list the patron who returned a book in the returned books list, and the due date (highlighted if overdue).

More web circulation updates
by Tonnesen Steve 25 Jan '01

25 Jan '01

I think I'm getting pretty close now. Recent changes. 1. Click on a borrower's card number to open a new window with the borrower's members page. 2. Click on a book barcode to view the details for that item in a new window. 3. If a patron has charges, click on the "Payment" link beside the charge information to open a new window with the payment form. 4. Changed the black headers to a burnt umber kind of colour. This was a pretty major change. :) The first three of these open new windows with no menu or toolbars. The intention is that they will be closed and the user will return to the circulation screen when done. If they are left open, and just moved backwards, the next click on a bar code, for example, will open the new information in the old window, and bring that window to the front again. One minor glitch I see is that I need to specify the size of the new window when it opens. I have it set to 640x480, which is too small for most of the pages, but the window can be resized larger. Things still to be done: 1. List recently returned items in the returns module. This is a bit tricky, but I think I can do it by filling a hidden text field with the itemnumbers of the recently returned items. 2. Picking a branch and printer every time you open the circulation module is a hassle. Could use cookies to store this information. Any body got huge problems with using cookies? If you have cookies disabled, it just means that you'll have to select the branch and printer each time you enter the circulation module, so it shouldn't really matter. 3. Need a way of selecting a different branch or printer. Thinking of making the branch and printer names into clickable links allowing them to be changed or having an icon between the issues and returns icons to do this. 4. When entering an invalid barcode into either issues or returns, no appropriate error is generated. 5. Prettier output when a book is returned that wasn't actually loaned out. 6. Some of my graphics are a little clunky. Especially the one for the home page. The issues and returns icons are a little, uhhh, ugly. Also, the red color I picked for the circulation module is apparently not one of the HDL colours, so they might not like it. :) Anything else I'm still missing? Steve.
