hello all, can anyone tell me if email notification of requests in in 2.2.7 and where in the doco to find out about it please? |
| 11:30 |
|
kados |
morning all |
| 11:30 |
|
kados |
hi jamesa |
| 11:30 |
|
kados |
jamesa: it should be in the cron/ directory |
| 11:30 |
|
kados |
dcs will be in the scripts themselves I think |
| 11:35 |
|
jamesa |
ok, I just got back, so setup a cron job to run a script that i should find in the koha/cron directory ? |
| 11:36 |
|
kados |
think so |
| 11:37 |
|
kados |
ahh |
| 11:37 |
|
jamesa |
I have some scripts .pl in /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/misc/notifys but none seem to be about reserves - seem to be about fines |
| 11:37 |
|
kados |
in rel_2_2 it's in koha/misc |
| 11:37 |
|
kados |
overduenotices.pl |
| 11:38 |
|
kados |
ahh, you need one for requests |
| 11:38 |
|
kados |
sorry |
| 11:38 |
|
kados |
the way I've done that in the past is to just insert some code into Reserves2.pm |
| 11:38 |
|
kados |
what's your email I'll send you a patch |
| 11:39 |
|
jamesa |
ok thanks, jamesa lecarrow.com |
| 11:41 |
|
jamesa |
so that's part of C4::Koha ? |
| 11:42 |
|
jamesa |
oh no I see it in /intranet/modules |
| 11:42 |
|
kados |
? |
| 11:42 |
|
kados |
C4/Reserves2.pm patch should be in your inbox :-) |
| 11:43 |
|
jamesa |
the reserves2.pm module is in /intranet/modules |
| 11:43 |
|
kados |
yea |
| 11:43 |
|
kados |
intranet/modules/C4 |
| 11:46 |
|
jamesa |
ok got the email - thanks, on first glance it seems to be sending to a pre defined email address (librarian?) |
| 11:46 |
|
kados |
that one does, yea |
| 11:47 |
|
kados |
you could easily snag the patron's email |
| 11:47 |
|
jamesa |
I would like to notify the borrower when their request is available (status = checked in, or on shelf) |
| 11:47 |
|
kados |
ahh |
| 11:47 |
|
kados |
for that you'd have to play around in Returns.pm I think |
| 11:47 |
|
jamesa |
this could be a basis for creating something, perhaps a cronjob after all |
| 11:48 |
|
kados |
yea, it could also be a cronjob that watches the reserves table |
| 11:48 |
|
jamesa |
cronjob - lookup reserves table, check item status, notify borrower |
| 11:48 |
|
jamesa |
easy when you type it quick! |
| 11:49 |
|
kados |
:-) |
| 11:49 |
|
jamesa |
will take me some time though, so if no one has invented this wheel before I will consider if it is within my meagre skills |
| 11:51 |
|
jamesa |
would perl be the preferred tool, I see some koha add ons in PHP |
| 11:52 |
|
jamesa |
might need to track if email has already been sent, dont want to nag borrower every day |
| 11:53 |
|
jamesa |
another table or collumn in the DB? |
| 11:53 |
|
kados |
that'd be one way to do it |
| 11:53 |
|
kados |
what I'd do, is email the koha-devel list |
| 11:53 |
|
kados |
and explain what you need in detail |
| 11:54 |
|
kados |
then propose a design idea you have |
| 11:54 |
|
kados |
see what folks say |
| 11:54 |
|
kados |
it'd be nice if whatever you create could be used by others IYKWIM |
| 11:55 |
|
jamesa |
I have no problem sharing it, a cance to give something back, would like to know it has not been written already though |
| 11:58 |
|
jamesa |
ok, time for bed here, I shall check koha-devel archives and then send an email |
| 11:58 |
|
jamesa |
cheers |
