[Koha] Reports

[Joseph Faneuf]

I appreciate the quick response.  I am a bit confused as to how this works.
I have gone in and created a notice using the circulation category and added
a few fields from the list.  I then went into overdue notice/status triggers
and chose "that" notice for all patron categories and put 1 as the Delay.  I
then logged in as root to the koha server and created the directory
/tmp/noticedir and then I ran "sudo
/usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/overdue_notices.pl -n -html /tmp/noticedir.  It
created the html file but was just full of field names.

Few questions:

Can I do this from the web interface, I wish to make it so that the
librarian will be able to just run this notice batch at will?
What did I do wrong to make all the field names appear as apposed to the
data?

The test notice I created looks like this:

borrowers.firstname, borrowers.surname

branches.branchname
biblio.title
items.content

any help would be greatly appreciated.

There's a firefox add-on printpdf which allows you print a web page to a
pdf file. I've done some custom work generating orders and claims as web
pages and then using it to produce a nice printable output file. Worth
trying the plugin if you want to do something from the html output of
this (or any other) function.
