Hello all, Has anyone created a template in the label maker that can handle a label sheet with two different sized labels? Go to www.demco.com and search for 14218000 to see a sample of what I'm talking about. I'm thinking that Koha's label maker just can't handle this and this is an enhancement request, but I thought I'd check with you all anyway. Nicole

We actually considered using this type of label back when we were gearing up to relabel all of our collection. As best I remember, unless someone else has added this functionality, it is not possible at present. It would require messing with the template code (C4::Labels::Template) and also the function responsible for calculating the next label position (this is in label-create-pdf.pl iirc). That may be a bit of oversimplifications, but is pretty much what would be involved. Definitely an enhancement request. :-) Kind Regards, Chris
