Hi Do it the hardway? Koha "borrowers" table define the email field as a long text. This means it accept any character. Therefore you might enter the info directly to the DB jumping over Koha... this can be done with a script to automate the process... Then would need to test if koha email processing does not broke with this... also, once changed, what happens if you want to edit the borrower, will koha accept the double email address or it will reject it and you will need to use your script again to re-update the email? Obviously, jumping over Koha interface and access DB directly have its risks... Better to open a bug request and see if developers buy it and find an option.

Hi Alvaro,

thanks a lot for your feedback.

Indeed, we already have tried to enter more than just one email address into the address field. Unfortunately, as you already assumed, Koha comes up with an error message, claiming the email address not to be correct. We have tried several combinations of blank and semicolon, but none was accepted.

Best

Uwe

Hi,

Haven't tested on Koha but in other applications, the workaround I use is to enter both email addresses on the same field separated by a semi-colon (;) something like "email1@domain.com; email2@domain2.com"

Koha might not allow the ; and space as valid characters on the email address and the email process might also fail. You can also try with a semicolon only (no space).

Regards,

Alvaro

Dear all,

we have the same problem, just with professors and personal assistants, and would be happy to learn about a way to send notices to more than just one e-mail address derived from a patrons' account.

Many thanks in advance, and kind regards

Hi all,

we are using Koha in our school library and we have the following "problem". We checkout books to all of our students starting from preschool. Especially the younger once don't have a personal eMail address. So we like to send notices (checkouts, checkins, overdues...) to both parents. As far as I understand Koha it send the notices only to one address. We could put in one of the parent's email, but we like to inform both.

I've read that overdue_notices.pl has an repeatable --email parameter. Where can I change it to send the notice to both parents?

Are there other ways to solve this problem or is it just not possible?

I'm thankful for any hints.

If the comma doesn´t do the trick, you might have a chat with your sysadmin, and make mail aliases in a local mail server, say "thiskid@parents.yourdomain <mailto:thiskid@parents.yourdomain>" would resend its messages to "parentofthiskid@theirmailserver, otherparentofthiskid@theirothermailserver, thiskid@whenkidgetsanemail" It´s not simple, but it may work for you. With postfix this could be done with alias tables, within a file or a database. Cacho.

Have you tried a comma? That's the standard, not a semicolon. The people who developed Outlook, etc. don't particularly seem to care about standards (pet peeve #9,037).
