owen cm rch : why is issue_date now in items table ? |
| 13:41 |
|
owen |
Doesn't sound right, though |
| 14:48 |
|
cm |
hello all...anybody here familiar with how the item lost status works? |
| 14:54 |
|
hdl |
hi cm. |
| 14:55 |
|
hdl |
What do you want to know ? |
| 14:55 |
|
cm |
are you supposed to set authorized values for the lost status? |
| 14:57 |
|
cm |
i have set some, but the status doesn't show up everywhere. i don't think it's getting written to items.itemlost when i set it in additem.pl. |
| 14:57 |
|
hdl |
itemlost is 0 or 1 only. |
| 14:57 |
|
cm |
kind of like the item notes. |
| 14:58 |
|
hdl |
you can set a authorised_value but it will contain 1 Item Lost. |
| 14:58 |
|
hdl |
or 0 (default) |
| 14:59 |
|
cm |
i created authorized values of 0 - 3. we have multiple meanings for lost. |
| 14:59 |
|
cm |
lost in inventory, lost by a patron and paid for, etc. |
| 14:59 |
|
hdl |
.... item lost is Tinyint(1). |
| 15:00 |
|
cm |
that means it can hold one digit? |
| 15:03 |
|
hdl |
A byte iirc |
| 15:03 |
|
hdl |
could be better if it was a char. |
| 15:30 |
|
owen |
cm--are you still there? At NPL we have several authorized values for itemlost as well |
| 15:31 |
|
owen |
For us it's not 0 or 1 only |
| 15:35 |
|
hdl |
owen : I was mistaken because Tinyint(1) is said to be equivalent to BOOLEAN in mysql documentation |
| 15:36 |
|
hdl |
And My experience was with an o character that was not saved in item.notforloan. |
| 15:37 |
|
cm |
yeah, owen, i'm still here. |
| 15:38 |
|
cm |
so it's working for you on dev_week? |
| 15:38 |
|
owen |
The use of itemlost of other statuses is fairly new, so there may still be bugs to be worked out. |
| 15:39 |
|
cm |
yeah, it seems to work on additem.pl, but the status isn't shown on detail.pl or moredetail.pl, at least for me. |
| 15:39 |
|
owen |
Is Koha displaying the status correctly in some places? |
| 15:39 |
|
cm |
he he, i answered your question before you asked it. :) |
| 15:40 |
|
cm |
i think it's not getting saved into items.itemslost, but just in the marc. |
| 15:40 |
|
cm |
we had a similar experience with itemnotes. |
| 15:40 |
|
owen |
I mean: it's not working at all, or it's only working in some places? |
| 15:41 |
|
owen |
(Yeah, we don't use itemnotes, so that was never an issue we raised) |
| 15:43 |
|
cm |
it's only working in some places. if i change the lost status in additem.pl, it shows up. |
| 15:44 |
|
cm |
i can't change it at all in moremember.pl. my authority list doesn't show up. |
| 15:44 |
|
cm |
i think your template doesn't have those drop-down menus for the statuses anymore, at least not the last time i looked. |
| 15:45 |
|
cm |
it also isn't showing up in search results, but that might be an indexing problem. |
| 15:45 |
|
cm |
i've only just begun looking at the code to see what's happening. |
| 15:46 |
|
cm |
it also isn't displayed when looking at individual items under detail.pl. The status column is completely empty. |
| 15:47 |
|
owen |
Our copy of moredetail.pl has the drop-down lists of authorized values |
| 15:48 |
|
cm |
thanks. i haven't tried your template lately. i think i'll try it to see if it works better with yours. |
| 15:48 |
|
cm |
there could have been an update that we missed. |
| 15:48 |
|
owen |
Like I said, this is fairly new stuff, and we had to do a lot of troubleshooting with kados to make it work right. Our detail.pl seem to be up to date with CVS, so it's not like we've got a different version |
| 15:49 |
|
owen |
I'm not sure where the difference might lie |
| 15:51 |
|
cm |
nope, doesn't work. |
| 15:51 |
|
owen |
moredetail.pl isn't showing you the drop-downs? |
| 15:52 |
|
cm |
sorry...it shows the drop-downs, but they have no data in them? |
| 15:52 |
|
cm |
what's the name of your authorized value list for lost items? |
| 15:53 |
|
cm |
if it's specified in the template i might have to change it. |
| 15:54 |
|
cm |
oops, i didn't mean for my statement three lines up to be a question. |
| 15:57 |
|
owen |
The authorized value is called "ITEMLOST" In our system it's mapped to items subfield 1 |
| 15:59 |
|
cm |
okay, i think i see it in the template. thanks, owen! |
| 15:59 |
|
owen |
cm, see if you can catch kados for more details |
| 15:59 |
|
cm |
okay, thanks. |
