[Koha] Finding a patron name in lookup

[Wagner, Jane]

Real Soon Now we are planning to do all the bugzilla enhancement entries
as was the plan developed at Kohacon.  It's just been a question of
staff time and rapidly moving code/specs.  For the patron searching
enhancement, the screen looks like this:

 

 

 

The pulldown in the top search box has Standard (covers name and
barcode), borrower number, email, and phone.  If the staff person is
familiar with the SQL, he/she can also do a direct query in the bottom
box.

 

You'll note a Borrower Cart in the screenshot - a separate enhancement
we're working on has some batch edit/delete capabilities for records
that are selected and added to the cart.  That code is also still in
test.

That sounds great Jane. Can you create an enhancement bug for it so

that others can see it's being worked on?

 

Will it be just a change to the way the search works now, or will it

include other methods of searching patrons, like an advanced search

screen?

 

Thanks,
