[Koha] Koha Digest, Vol 97, Issue 32

Hi Kyle

Oamaru Library does not use this 'Overdues with fines' option in Circulation.
We use a 'report', if we want a list of borrowers with money on their card.

When I looked at this report, it is not user friendly for me, why:-
- columns do not sort (currently in Borrower Surname order)
- can not select list by Branch (Waitaki has one other library on koha)
- can not download list

Also wondering what this list is good for.

I'm having a similar problem. I have 10 attributes per excel tuple. Two attributes (the 100 and 245 fields) map correctly in the underlying MARC21 data, but each of the 952 field are imported as separate tuples instead of all into the first tuple. Correspondingly, I get eight individual items created, each only one of the 952 attributes.

I found that during mapping the excel data into the appropriate 952 fields, MarcEdit 5.9 creates a separate 952 entry for each individual attribute.
These separate 952 items are apparently is imported as separate books rather than a single book.

I speculate that creating a single 952 cell and populating the data with the appropriate MARC data delimiters ($a, $b ...) would solve this problem, but that seems suboptimal on a large scale import.

Hello all,

I'm working on rewriting Koha's accounting system, and I'm looking to find
out if anyone is currently using the "Overdues with fines" report (
aka circ/branchoverdues.pl ).

The reason I ask this is because there is a lot of code I will need to add
in order to support just this report, and it would be silly to do so if
nobody is actively using it. Conversely, removing the report would simplify
some underlying parts of Koha, which makes for a less bug-prone Koha!

Please let me know!

Thanks,
Kyle

For years this wasn't even in the manual because I didn't know what the
point of it was and no one complained ... to me that says no one was
looking for info on it ... if that helps at all.

It sounds like the correct approach would be to write an SMS driver that
talks to the HTTP API to send the SMS.
