I've added my API for circulation modules to the cvs repository (C4/Circulation/Circ2.pm), as well as my latest tk circulation interface (/tkperl/tkcirc) which depends on Circ2.pm.
Looking really good :-)
Some things I know I'm still missing:
Branch and printer selection
I don't create a database handle in the circulation code itself. This means that the subroutines in Circ2.pm must open and close a database handle with each call. I don't know if this delay hurts overly much, but it's there. I've been thinking that I should create the the database handle in the circulation code and pass it to the subroutines. If the database handle isn't defined, the subroutines can always create their own as a fallback.
That might be the best way to do it, I know that sometimes database handlers timeout, so if a routine depends on one being passed, and doesnt do any kind of checking on it, it can be messy.
My understanding of the accounting system underlying Koha is scratchy at best. I just copied the accounting code from the existing interface...
Yeah mine isnt all that great either, but ill have a read through and check if it looks like its going to seriously break things. Thanks Steve Chris -- Chris Cormack Programmer 025 500 789 Katipo Communications Ltd chris@katipo.co.nz www.katipo.co.nz
