Re: [Koha] Where to set exemption from rental charges
Hi Jesse, I don't know what you mean by it was there already or someone put it there. It has been part of Koha since we commissioned Chris Cormack to write Koha back in 2000. It is not a new feature. Cheers Jo. On Sun, Dec 14, 2008 at 8:52 AM, Jesse Weaver <jesse.weaver@liblime.com>wrote:

Bum! We currently have this in 2.2.9... Can we make it so in 3.0 by throwing money at it? Should be a minor fix to the circulation rules setup: just add another colume where you enter % discount on rental charges.
cheers Jo.

Hi there,
I have set up my parametres etc, including circulation rules, but I can't seem to find a place to say which borrower categories are exempt from paying which rental charges (ie by item types).
For example, Patrons with category set to "Deaf" do not have to pay rental charges for item types = "DVD" but everyone else does.
Thanks for help,
cheers Jo. _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha

Unfortunately, Koha does not support this yet; rental charges can only be set at the itemtype level.

Well, it'll involve changes to some of the code, so it'll be a _little_ more complicated than that. By "we have this in 2.2.9", do you mean that it was there already, or someone added it for you?

Yep, it seemed it survived the transition from categoryitem to issuingrules,
From git CREATE TABLE categoryitem ( categorycode char(2) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL, itemtype varchar(4) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL, restrictedtype tinyint(1), rentaldiscount decimal(28,6), reservecharge decimal(28,6), fine decimal(28,6), firstremind int(11), chargeperiod int(11), accountsent int(11), chargename varchar(100) );
That was the old categoryitem table, (from the database.mysql file 2002-06-22) . And I just checked issuingrules, the column is still there, CREATE TABLE `issuingrules` ( `categorycode` varchar(10) NOT NULL default '', `itemtype` varchar(10) NOT NULL default '', `restrictedtype` tinyint(1) default NULL, `rentaldiscount` decimal(28,6) default NULL, `reservecharge` decimal(28,6) default NULL, `fine` decimal(28,6) default NULL, `firstremind` int(11) default NULL, `chargeperiod` int(11) default NULL, `accountsent` int(11) default NULL, `chargename` varchar(100) default NULL, `maxissueqty` int(4) default NULL, `issuelength` int(4) default NULL, `branchcode` varchar(10) NOT NULL default '', PRIMARY KEY (`branchcode`,`categorycode`,`itemtype`), KEY `categorycode` (`categorycode`), KEY `itemtype` (`itemtype`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8; So it might be just the code is no longer respecting it.
