Koha 16.05 - Notice Triggers Issue: Delivery Options Not Saving! (Was: Manually send overdue notices from command-line?)
by Craig Butosi 11 Jun '16

11 Jun '16

Hi all, Update: Problem with Notice & Status Triggers (Tools › Notice triggers) I just discovered that when I attempt to save my notice trigger configuration after (1) setting a delay integer, (2) selecting an overdue notice template, and then choosing a delivery type (Email, SMS, etc.), the configuration saves but without the any of the delivery method types saving - they reset to an unchecked status. I do get a "changes saved" confirmation overall, but my selections disappear for Email, Print, and SMS after clicking the Save Changes button. The only column that does stick is Restrict. I think this might be why my overdue notices aren't sending. Anyone experience this? Does anyone know how to correct this? Many thanks! C Craig Butosi, MA, MLIS, B Mus (Hons.)

Hi all, Koha 16.05 Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Package install After one properly sets up overdue notices (i.e., correct HTML markup in ODUE notice, triggers set, enhanced messaging enabled, MTA installed, patron categories set to receive overdue notices, etc.), can you manually compile and push out overdue notices from the command-line?

Inventory
by Coehoorn, Joel 10 Jun '16

10 Jun '16

We recently acquired a new portable barcode scanner, and want to start using the file matching feature in koha for inventory. In looking at this, I have two questions. First, we are able to create the barcode files. However, when doing the compare, the results we're seeing are not helpful. With a test file of 53 barcodes, we had six pages of results telling us about items that simply updated the last seen date. Other items in the set would show up *twice*, because they had previously been marked missing. We'd see a result reporting the item missing, and a second result saying it should have been scanned. This is not helpful. We already know these items are missing, and so including them here makes it much more difficult to work the results. On the selection criteria page I can see a way to filter down to missing items, but there is no way to EXCLUDE missing or lost items. Normal (items.itemlost status <= 0) is not an option in that section. This feature would be WAY more useful if we could see results at the end for only those items that are different. We want a view that only shows newly missing items or items shelved in the wrong place, so we can work the list manually to verify the errors. Is this possible?

OT: Makerspaces and soldering
by Chad Roseburg 08 Jun '16

08 Jun '16

Please excuse the off-topic posting: This is a question for libraries with Makerspaces and/or offering programs involving soldering: * Insurance and liability? What do you do? * Do they fill out forms to participate? The libraries I've seen that offer soldering report that, once told that the iron is "very hot", "Do Not Touch" ...self-preservation and aversion to pain kick in and virtually eliminate accidents. But I thought I'd ask anyway. We are doing an Arduino project at the end of the month and I'm debating whether or not to pull out the soldering kits or stick to breadboards. We can take this off-list so as not to clutter ... Thank you! [ If you know of a better list for this please recommend ] -- Chad Roseburg Asst. Director / IT Automation Dept.

Handling student worker accounts
by Eric Phetteplace 08 Jun '16

08 Jun '16

Hi all, First of all, we are right now starting to migrate to Koha so I'm probably going to ask a lot of questions on this list in the coming weeks. Bear with me. If you have low-level employees who perform basic circulation work—e.g. work study students, volunteers—how do you handle their account permissions? Do you have a shared internal account with a password you periodically change? Do you edit their patron account to add necessary permissions and then later revoke them? We're trying to find a scalable way to handle this. Editing a half-dozen or so patron accounts each semester doesn't seem wise to me. But internal accounts like this are weird too, because they're not "real" patrons. For instance, I'm filling in fake barcodes because they're required but this patron will never check anything out. Also, are is there no equivalent of user "roles" in Koha—sets of permissions I can quickly apply to an account? It's one thing if I can just add a student to a "work study" role and another if I have to click a bunch of checkboxes.
