A True Story; AKA: Check out our IRC Channel!
Hey folks, I just thought I'd share a moment (actually, 15 minutes) from today's Koha IRC log (chat for Koha users and developers) ... it's a great example of how rapid development works in the Open Source world. Owen, one of our community's template designers,(from the Nelsonville Public Library), had an 'itch to scratch' ... 05:46 < owen> Patrons should be able to cancel a reserve online! 05:47 < kados> owen: they can't? 05:47 < owen> Not unless this is a secret which has been kept from me :) 05:48 * owen doesn't know if this has been added in 3.0 05:48 < kados> probably not added, but it would be a trivial feature to add 05:49 < kados> there's already a separate column for reserves in the account page, right? 05:49 < owen> A separate tab 05:49 < kados> that's what I meant 05:50 < kados> ahh, I see now: 05:50 < kados> If you no longer want a reserve, please send us an e-mail, or go to the circulation desk at your library to get it removed. 05:50 < kados> hmmm 05:54 < kados> owen: 05:54 < kados> add the following somewhere in the template: 05:54 < kados> <form action="/cgi-bin/koha/opac-modrequest.pl" method="post"> 05:54 < kados> <input type="hidden" name="from" value="borrower" /> 05:54 < kados> <input name="rank-request" value="del"> 05:54 < kados> <input type="hidden" name="biblio" value="16595" /> 05:54 < kados> <input type="hidden" name="borrowernumber" value="22994" /> 05:54 < kados> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Remove" /></p> 05:54 < kados> </form> 05:55 < kados> owen: the biblio and borrowernumber numbers will need to be TMPL_VARs 05:55 < owen> Will that redirect back to the reserves list? 05:55 < kados> remove that stray </p> too 05:59 < owen> Hey, works like a charm 05:59 < kados> :-) 05:59 < kados> ok, I'll commit my script, you can commit the template :-) 06:00 < owen> Sure. I'm going to take a moment to add a javascript confirm 06:00 < kados> *nod* So you never know what could happen if you log on to chat and complain about something ;-) Join us sometime: http://koha.org/community/irc.html Cheers, -- Joshua Ferraro SUPPORT FOR OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE President, Technology migration, training, maintenance, support LibLime Featuring Koha Open-Source ILS jmf@liblime.com |Full Demos at http://liblime.com/koha |1(888)KohaILS
