This patch adds the misc/cronjobs/overdue_notices.pl script that is intended to replace
overduenotices.pl, overduenotices-30.pl and overduenotices-csv.pl. It adds messages to
the message_queue to be sent later (by process_message_queue.pl). It also marks borrowers
as debarred if their issues become too overdue.
It is intended to be run from cron nightly with usage something like:
0 2 * * * misc/cronjobs/overdue_notices.pl
C4::Members:
- improved documentation on ModMember
- made ModMember return a useful value (the return value of the database call)
- added a DebarMember method
- adding t/lib/KohaTest/Members/DebarMember.pm to test ModMember
misc/cronjobs/overdue_notices.pl
- designed to replace overduenotices.pl, overduenotices-30.pl, and overduenotice-csv
Changes to C4::Letters:
- EnqueueLetter now lets you pass in to_address and from_address which can override defaults
- _send_message_by_email pays attention to these defaults.
- now handles attachments with MIME::Lite
C4::Overdues
- added GetBranchcodesWithOverdueRules
- added t/lib/KohaTest/Overdues/GerBranchcodesWithOverdueRules.pm to test that.
circ/overdue.pl
- replaced call to obsolete overduenotices-csv.pl with call to overdue_notices.pl
KohaTest:
- added three helper methods: random_phone, random_email, random_ip
- these can be used to populate example records
- you can now pass an optional lengh to random_string

opac-mymessages.pl and opac-mymessages.tmpl generate an RSS feed of a patron's messages from the message_queue.
Some more methods in C4::Letters to let us pluck out the right entries in the queue.

I've added methods to to C4::Letters to manage the database table
message_queue. This will let us keep track of messages sent
via email, sms, and rss to patrons. That way, we can show the history,
deal with failures, and reconstruct an RSS feed when needed.
misc/cronjobs/overduenotics.pl has been added. It prepares advance notices
and item due notices and stages messages to be sent in the message_queue
table.
C4::Overdues::Getoverdues now takes two optional arguments to tell it how
old of overdues to fetch.
Also, a C4::Circualtion::getUpcomingDueIssues method was added that
advance_notices.pl uses.
misc/cronjobs/process_message_queue.pl has been added. It sends the email
or SMS messages out of the message queue.
The C4::SMS module didn't work at all, and it has been rebuilt to use
an external perl module from CPAN, SMS::Send.

This fix should resolve in whole or in part several bugs
characterized by the error message 'Can't use string ("0")
as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use', including
bugs 1101, 1899, and 1910.
There are some possibilities for future work:
[1] Dealing with an operator override, e.g., where
a circ operator needs to get a supervisor
to enter a login and password and escalate
the original operator's privileges for a
transaction, e.g., to forgive a fine. This
is an enhancement, of course.
[2] Creating a dummy operator to represent
batch job runs; or alternatively, give
each batch job an option to log its work
under a specified user ID.

To make this feature work :
- create a "notice" (tools/letter.pl) of the category "serials"
- choose this notice in each subscription you want to enable this feature

ZEBRA is now XML and comprises of a KOHA meta record. Explanatory notes will be on koha-devel
Fixes UTF8 problems
Fixes bug with authorities
SQL database major changes.
Separate biblioograaphic and holdings records. Biblioitems table depreceated
etc. etc.
Wait for explanatory document on koha-devel
- a mail is sent everytime an issue if recieved in serial module. The mail is sent to all borrowers that have put an alert on the subscription (remember that you can put an alert only if the librarian have defined a "letter" as mail to send)
- the librarian can see, for a given subscription, who has put an alert.
* adding a package Letters.pm, that manages Letters & alerts.
* adding feature : it's now possible to define a "letter" for any subscription created. If a letter is defined, users in OPAC can put an alert on the subscription. When an issue is marked "arrived", all users in the alert will recieve a mail (as defined in the "letter"). This last part (= send the mail) is not yet developped. (Should be done this week)
* adding feature : it's now possible to "put to an alert" in OPAC, for any serial subscription. The alert is stored in a new table, called alert. An alert can be put only if the librarian has activated them in subscription (and they activate it just by choosing a "letter" to sent to borrowers on new issues)
* adding feature : librarian can see in borrower detail which alerts they have put, and a user can see in opac-detail which alert they have put too.
Note that the system should be generic enough to manage any type of alert.
I plan to extend it soon to virtual shelves : a borrower will be able to put an alert on a virtual shelf, to be warned when something is changed in the virtual shelf (mail being sent once a day by cron, or manually by the shelf owner. Anyway, a mail won't be sent on every change, users would be spammed by Koha ;-) )
