Got a bit more polish on today. New features: Arbitrary due date can be set now. Due date can even be made "sticky" so that the due date will remain the same for one session of issues. Thought this might be useful at a school near the end of a term, for example. Flags are now displayed on the issues screen at the bottom. Flags that block issuing (like lost card, or gone with no address) show up as red in the patron information box. I still don't have a hyperlink to the flag information at the bottom, but you can scroll down to see it. My wife's account has a card reported as lost (Sue Tonnesen, cardnumber 42). Overdue books are now displayed as a red line. Both my wife and I have an overdue book that will show this feature. Very rudimentary returns module is now working. You can scan in a barcode and the book will be returned. The only info that is shown is the borrower's name and the bar code that was returned. This obviously needs some more work to add more detail item and borrower information, including account information, reserves available, etc. I added a wee bit of javascript to give the input box the focus automatically when a page loads to reduce the need for mouse or keyboard use when using a barcode scanner. This is the same reason why the drop down boxes are necessary for the due-date. If there are two input boxes on a web form, then a simple carriage return (as sent by a bar code scanner) will not submit the form. You must click on the submit button with the mouse. Steve Tonnesen

I like this idea, works well. I dont know if you have worked on this yet, but its not adding a charge if we issue a book with a rental charge. (I have it running on the koha demo site and was trying it out there) http://hlt.katipo.co.nz/cgi-bin/koha/circ/circulation.pl Apart from that, its all looking very nifty, im liking it a lot. I guess we still need to work on the accounts section also? Thanks Steve for your hard work.

Okay, I admit that I've been glossing over the accounts stuff. :) The rental charge is in there now. For paying accounts, I was thinking of just having a link from the patron info box that will open a new window with the member's web page loaded. The account payment is already taken care of there. I've also polished up the returns module a bit more, and added the ability to choose a branch and printer before starting circulation. If there is only one branch and printer, the user is never asked to select one. I've added graphics for the Circulation module to the header and the home page. Now you can just go to: http://koha.cmsd.bc.ca/ and follow the "Circulation" link to check out the updates. If you are testing my demo, use my account (enter 'ton' for selecting a borrower and then select "Tonnesen, Steve", or "Tonnesen, Sue") and use books with barcodes from 1000-1016 Steve.
