[Koha] Send all notices to all available eMail addresses

[Boettcher, Uwe]

Hi Alvaro,

thanks a lot for your feedback.

Indeed, we already have tried to enter more than just one email address into the address field. Unfortunately, as you already assumed, Koha comes up with an error message, claiming the email address not to be correct. We have tried several combinations of blank and semicolon, but none was accepted.

Best

Uwe

Hi,

Haven't tested on Koha but in other applications, the workaround I use is to enter both email addresses on the same field separated by a semi-colon (;) something like "email1 at domain.com<mailto:email1 at domain.com>; email2 at domain2.com<mailto:email2 at domain2.com>"

Koha might not allow the ; and space as valid characters on the email address and the email process might also fail. You can also try with a semicolon only (no space).

Regards,

Alvaro

Dear all,

we have the same problem, just with professors and personal assistants, and would be happy to learn about a way to send notices to more than just one e-mail address derived from a patrons' account.

Many thanks in advance, and kind regards

Uwe

Betreff: [Koha] Send all notices to all available eMail addresses

Hi all,

we are using Koha in our school library and we have the following
"problem". We checkout books to all of our students starting from
preschool. Especially the younger once don't have a personal eMail
address. So we like to send notices (checkouts, checkins, overdues...)
to both parents. As far as I understand Koha it send the notices only to
one address. We could put in one of the parent's email, but we like to
inform both.

I've read that overdue_notices.pl<http://overdue_notices.pl> has an repeatable --email parameter.
Where can I change it to send the notice to both parents?

Are there other ways to solve this problem or is it just not possible?

I'm thankful for any hints.

Regards,
Stephan
