Our library is open the first and third Saturday of each month. I have not figured out how to set this up in the internal Koha calendar, there seems to be no obvious answer. We need a 'holiday' set for the second, fourth and occasional fifth Saturdays of each month. At the moment I've just made every Saturday a holiday rather than have books come due on a day we're shut. Does anyone know of a workaround (other than setting them manually?) Is there any other interest in the ability to designate a day of the week on a monthly basis, or is it just us? I wonder how difficult it would be to add this feature. -- Elaine Bradtke Data Wrangler VWML English Folk Dance and Song Society | http://www.efdss.org Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent's Park Road, London NW1 7AY Tel +44 (0) 20 7485 2206 (This number is for the English Folk Dance and Song Society in London, England.

This is not unique to your case :) In my home state of West Bengal in India, all the 2600+ public libraries have a holiday on every alternate Saturday of a month. I'm also looking for something similar, although it is not a top priority in my case at the moment. cheers -indra -- Indranil Das Gupta Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://indradg.randomink.org/blog IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.

I'd use the API (C4::Calendar) to add those holidays through a Perl script. Otherwise do it by hand. I'm not sure the user interface would benefit from more complicated holiday definitions. Regards To+
