Advanced search by shelving location broken?
by Agnes Rivers-Moore 03 Dec '15

03 Dec '15

Dear list folks I have Koha 3.20.02 In advanced search - use first search line drop down to select "shelving location" Enter term to search for. Koha searches for =location,wrdl: ... but 0 results Use second line drop down to select "shelving location" Enter term to search for. Koha then searches for the search term(s) as a keyword, not a location. =kw,wrdl: Can anyone check and confirm whether they can successfully search by shelving location? If so, what Koha version are you on?

"borrowers" permission doesn't allow to see current loans
by BOUIS Sonia 03 Dec '15

03 Dec '15

Hi, I have a question about the user permission "borrowers". It gives an access to the Details page of a patron. In our previous version, we can see the list of the document checkout in this page. Now, we just have the information 'loading' in the checkout tables, but we can't see documents on loan. (It's the same on the master version). It's really damageable because we have some students who works in the library who can't do circulation actions, but who should be able to inform patrons to tell them how many books they have, tell them the due date... I don't know if this change of behaviour was done on purpose, but for me, it looks like a regression. If everybody is ok with that, I can fill a bug in bugzilla.

Expiring soon borrower notice?
by Agnes Rivers-Moore 02 Dec '15

02 Dec '15

Dear Koha users and developers We have a number of members (patrons) who only borrow e-books. This means staff do not see them and they do not get reminded that their membership will expire - until they call to complain that their downloads stop working. I would like Koha to generate a notice to let them know that they will need to renew soon - similar to the book is due soon notice but based on expiry of the borrower account. That would allow us to tell them whet they need to do to renew their account before their service is affected, and also tell them about new services/reasons to renew. Has anyone found a way to do that - or is anyone thinking of developing a new notice for this? If not, I will add a new item to Bugzilla - watch there if you want to follow developments.

Few general Koha questions
by Aparrish 02 Dec '15

02 Dec '15

Hello all, Busy configuring a new Koha installation and I'm just going to list a bunch of questions I have. I am struggling a bit with the manual and I haven't had any luck searching the archives. Pick a topic! 1. When patron self-registration is enabled, there are a number of necessary fields I can't get to show up, namely, userid, password, and cardnumber (The project I am working on requires people to fill out their own card number - they will be unique.) These fields are however accessible from the same patron template when an account is created on the staff side by superlibrarian. Any thoughts? 2. Is there any way, after having imported a batch of records, to auto-generate an item for each record in the batch? I do not have time to search, by name, for each record in a 5000+ item library and create an item for it. 3. Following on question 2, is there any way to force the staff interface to just display every record in the catalog so that if I do have to add each item manually I can at least do it faster? Cheers. Thanks for your help.
