morning owen |
| 14:55 |
|
kados |
happy xmas :-) |
| 14:55 |
|
owen |
Hi kados, Merry Christmas |
| 14:55 |
|
kados |
ahh, right 'Merry' :-) |
| 14:56 |
|
kados |
how goes it? |
| 14:56 |
|
owen |
At least on this side of the Atlantic |
| 14:56 |
|
owen |
I was just ripping off Worldcat for a dumbed-down advanced search screen. |
| 14:56 |
|
kados |
cool |
| 15:44 |
|
kados |
owen: got a sec? |
| 15:45 |
|
kados |
owen: I keep getting distracted from 670 because I find bugs that prevent me from properly testing it ... but now that I'm back to it I'd like to just clarify |
| 15:45 |
|
kados |
670 is primarily about the status of a biblio or item that's got a hold on it ... specifically the 'in transit' vs 'waiting' status, right? |
| 15:46 |
|
kados |
I've identified 5 pages that need to display the same information: |
| 15:46 |
|
kados |
* request.pl |
| 15:46 |
|
kados |
* detail.pl |
| 15:46 |
|
kados |
* circulation.pl |
| 15:46 |
|
kados |
* opac-user.pl |
| 15:46 |
|
kados |
* opac-detail.pl |
| 15:53 |
|
owen |
That sounds right to me |
| 15:53 |
|
kados |
cool |
| 15:53 |
|
owen |
Oh, moremember.tmpl |
| 15:53 |
|
kados |
ahh, ok |
| 16:21 |
|
kados |
owen: didn't circulation used to have a warning when items on hld were waiting? |
| 16:21 |
|
kados |
owen: that message seems to have gone away ... everything's now behind the holds tab ... |
| 16:45 |

re: 1631.... |
| 17:47 |
|
owen |
You were going to check with ryan about whether Liblime's libraries really needed to be able to enter alternate contact info |
| 17:47 |
|
owen |
that is [alternate contact] info, rather than alternate [contact info] |
| 17:48 |
|
kados |
yea, he didn't get back to me :-) |
| 17:48 |
|
kados |
what's the diff between those two? |
| 17:49 |
|
owen |
the member entry form has been redesigned to record alternate information for the patron: an alternate address, an alternate phone, an alternate email. That's alternate [contact info]. |
| 17:49 |
|
owen |
[alternate contact] info is information about a person who the library can contact in order to reach the patron. |
| 17:49 |
|
owen |
An alternate contact person. |
| 17:50 |
|
owen |
NPL has been saving that information for years and years, and Koha just happened to have that same feature when we started using it |
| 17:50 |
|
owen |
Previous to that, I don't know that our ILSes actually stored the information, we just had it on their written registration cards |
| 17:51 |
|
kados |
ahh, gotcha |
| 17:51 |
|
kados |
so the fields have been re-appropriated in 3.0? |
| 17:51 |
|
owen |
Yes |
| 17:51 |
|
kados |
bugger |
| 17:51 |
|
owen |
Part of me says forget it, it's not that important--we've got the information on the registration cards anyway |
| 17:52 |
|
owen |
But I'm also aware that we may be moving away from saving those registration cards permanently, so havng all info in the database would be good. |
| 17:52 |
|
owen |
So I could go either way |
| 17:52 |
|
kados |
*nod* |
| 17:52 |
|
owen |
I was hoping your libraries could give some input about their needs |
| 17:53 |
|
kados |
right |
| 17:53 |
|
kados |
well, much as I hate to do this I'm going to de-prioritize it to critical |
| 17:53 |
|
kados |
actually |
| 17:53 |
|
kados |
I'll just leave it |
| 17:53 |
|
kados |
I'll bug ruan about it this week |
| 17:53 |
|
kados |
owen: how about bug 281 |
| 17:54 |
|
kados |
owen: would you say taht's fixed now? |
| 17:54 |
|
kados |
(with the dropdown to update from child to adult) |
| 17:56 |
|
owen |
No, and I'm modifying it to reflect why: the fix won't work without fixing a new bug, bug 1686 |
| 17:56 |
|
owen |
In short, I can't promote a child to an adult because Koha doesn't think anyone is a child |
| 17:57 |
|
kados |
that one should be easy |
| 17:57 |
|
kados |
I notice that that option isn't on the circ page |
| 17:57 |
|
kados |
owen: is there a reason for that? |
| 17:58 |
|
owen |
It must not have been added to the circ toolbar at the same time |
| 17:58 |
|
owen |
In order to have that working, we'll have to make sure all the patron and circ pages are aware of the patron's adult/child category |
| 17:59 |
|
kados |
I see 'is_child' |
| 17:59 |
|
kados |
in members-toolbar.inc |
| 17:59 |
|
kados |
but I don't see it anywhere else |
| 18:00 |
|
kados |
the other issue of course, is the difference between patron types and patron categories |
| 18:00 |
|
kados |
types being hardcoded and categories being configuratble |
| 18:00 |
|
kados |
configurable |
| 18:01 |
|
kados |
when you update a patron from child to adult there needs to be a way to specify what adult category to put them in |
| 18:01 |
|
kados |
right? |
| 18:02 |
|
owen |
Yeah, I guess so. And then there's Bug 1699 |
| 18:02 |
|
kados |
right |
| 18:03 |
|
owen |
But for the child-to-adult transition, I guess a satisfactory solution would be to be given the option of choosing one of the adult categories |
| 18:03 |
|
kados |
lets make 1686 dependent on 1699 and 281 dependent on 1686 :-) |
| 18:03 |
|
kados |
make sense? |
| 18:05 |
|
owen |
No :) |
| 18:05 |
|
kados |
heh |
| 18:05 |
|
kados |
sounds like we need to do some work on this whole process |
| 18:06 |
|
kados |
and it's almost as if all of the issues we just talked about are related -- |
| 18:07 |
|
owen |
All the patron category stuff just wasn't done 100%. |
| 18:07 |
|
kados |
the alt contact stuff, changing patron types, diabolical child->adult status changes, no way to tell what type a patron is |
| 18:07 |
|
kados |
yep |
| 18:09 |
|
owen |
kados: Are you not getting a message on circ when a patron's holds are waiting? |
| 18:54 |
|
kados |
owen: do you still stand by: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=1600 |
| 18:54 |
|
kados |
? |
| 18:54 |
|
owen |
It's not a big deal, but it seems to me if we offer two lines for main address, we should do the same for other address inputs |
| 18:55 |
|
owen |
Low priority, though |
| 18:55 |
|
kados |
*nod* |
| 18:56 |
|
kados |
I'm going to mark it as a feature enhancement |
| 18:57 |
|
owen |
kados, looking at your recent change to circulation.tmpl, what does "Item targeted" mean? |
| 19:01 |
|
owen |
I guess identifying the barcode which has been chosen to fulfill the reserve? |
| 19:01 |
|
kados |
it means that we have identified a specific barcode |
| 19:01 |
|
kados |
yep |
| 19:01 |
|
kados |
as opposed to being in a queue |
| 19:01 |
|
owen |
How about allocated? |
| 19:01 |
|
kados |
maybe selected? |
| 19:01 |
|
kados |
allocation sounds a bit victorian to me :-) |
| 19:01 |
|
owen |
Selected works |
