[Koha] Koha and fees

[Katrin Fischer]

Hm, not sure that's hat you meant, but currently it's not possible to
take the opening/closing times of the library into account as the
calendar only works with full days.

What you can do is something like a weekend loan with holidays on
Saturday and Sunday - so the loan period on Friday will be extended to
Monday, while on other weekdays it's the next day. Maybe that's what you
meant?

For hourly loans we need to extend the calendar first, which is still
under development:

Bug 8133 - hourly loans doesn't know when library closed
