First, thanks Joshua for the script. It seemed to work perfectly. Excellent, glad to hear it.
I completed steps 1 and 3 from the directions you gave me. I am not sure how to map items.itemcallnumber and Ryan said that he might commit a plugin that would do just this, so I'd thought I'd wait on that. You can map items.itemcallnumber to a items tag/subfield from either the Links - Koha MARC DB section (easy) or the Bibliographic Framework section(hard) of the Admin module. Note that the plugin is something you can add later to the Bibliographic Framework, but you still have to set up the mapping or the itemcallnumber field won't show up in your items add/edit screen.
I had assumed that once items.itemcallnumber had values, that I'd be able to get some type of result from the inventory.pl script. However, I still got nothing. I am also not able to get a result from the "Not seen since:" field. I thought that this would not depend at all on items.itemcallnumber so it might work. As it stands, I'm not able to get any result from any entry field using inventory.pl. Is this normal behavior for 2.2.9? It could very well be. There were quite a few updates that didn't make it into the release. Try grabbing the latest inventory script/template from CVS and replacing your current ones:
script: http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewvc/koha/reports/inventory.pl?view=log&root=koha&pathrev=rel_2_2
Let us know how it goes.
Cheers,
Hello, I believe it is operational. It returns books now when both the "Item location" and "Not seen since" fields have values. None of the books have a seen value, but I think we can work with that. Our librarian will be scanning in each section to a saved text file and then we will use those to mark the books on the shelves as seen with the "use a barcode file" feature. It will take her a while to get all of the books scanned to the text files, but it looks like everything will work now. thanks so much for your help. -Matthew
