[Koha] Barcode Autogeneration

[colmcd at optusnet.com.au]

Gday Jason

Are you using Marc or NOMARC. I was using NOMARc and had to alter the code to get it working. I was able to get the barcodes to AUtogenerate then I realised that after printing the labels it Wasn't necessary ≤as you print each label stick it to the book and scan it then!≥. 

I'm currently on Holidays for the next two weeks. I can post the code on this List and in the Bug report to get Autogeneration to work with NOMARC ≤or with anything≥. When it does work counts of numbers in Sequence, not sure how it starts. Don't think it uses country codes ≤but who cares≥. 

BE warned Dial up internet is a luxury for me. 

Cheers

Colin McDermott
