Re: [Koha] Where to set exemption from rental charges

14 Dec 2008

      Ok - thanks everyone. We will submit a patch to fix this.

Quick description of the fix:

Different patron types can be configured to get a  % discount off the 
rental charges:
For example: STAFF will have a 100% discount of all rental charges for 
all item types,
BLIND will get 100% discount of rental charges for Talking Books,
DEAF will get 100% discount off rental charges for DVDs,
and we could make all SENIORS get a 10% discount off rental charges for 
all or some item types.

Cheers,

Jo.

Bum! We currently have this in 2.2.9. <http://2.2.9.>.. Can we
    make it so in 3.0 by throwing money at it? Should be a minor fix
    to the circulation rules setup: just add another colume where you
    enter % discount on rental charges.
cheers Jo.

Unfortunately, Koha does not support this yet; rental charges
        can only be set at the itemtype level.

Well, it'll involve changes to some of the code, so it'll be a 
_little_ more complicated than that. By "we have this in 2.2.9", do 
you mean that it was there already, or someone added it for you?
