[Koha] Fwd: Paying fines (again)?

[George Adams]

Yes, you're right - I'd missed that feature in the check-out process.  Great - that solves half the problem.

For the other half (a notification for the librarian of patron fines during check-in), I wrote a patch to add that functionality to returns.pl and returns.tmpl , and filed it as an enhancement request (Bug 1962: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1962 )  Maybe some form of that will make it into a future snapshot.

This already occurs at checkout after scanning the patron's barcode, at circulation.pl.

See the section in red on the right of this screenshot:

The patron is allowed to continue borrowing until their fines have reached a certain configurable threshold, by default $5.00.

I appreciate all the help over the last few months.  We're about launch
our little library here at church, but I just wanted to try this
question once more:

Is there any way to have Koha tell the librarian, either during a
check-out or check-in, that the current patron has a fine on his
account?

If it's a check-in, the patron may want to pay the fine right away.
If it's a check-out, we want to disallow the checkout (no further
borrowing until the fine is paid).

I'm sure there are existing Koha sites that do this kind of thing,
right?

Thanks again.
