Some code coming from BibLibre has been lost in the process of inclusion in
3.4. The result is that fine in days does not work at all (you can setup rules,
but it does nothing)
Step to reproduce:
- Koha > Admin > circ rules > set 1 day fine every day of overdue for default
rule
- Issue a book return date last week
- check-in the book => no debarment is set
The following patch will fix all of those problems by :
* updating borrowers.debarred to a date field (instead of tinyint). It contains
the limit of the debarment
* changing API of DebarMember and UpdateBorrowerDebarred to pass a date
* display debarrdate where applicable. Note that a debarrdate of 31/12/9999 is
considered as unlimited and not displayed
* added a debarrcomment, usefull to explain why a patron is debarred (this is
independant from debarrdate changes and can be used when placing an unlimited
debarment too)
[2011-05-12] F. Demians. It works as described. And I can confirm this
functionality is impatiently awaited by French libraries since one year. Thanks
BibLibre for the good work and for contributing this code.
Bug 6328 Followup--update DB structure
Thanks Katrin.
Bug 6328: make comment a textbox / fix debar by notice trigger
Debarring by notice triggers was broken, because the new function
expects a date as second parameter.
The comment field in patron account details was a very long text field.
Patch changes it to be a textbox instead.
Bug 6328: Lift debarment leaves patron account
'Lift debarment' redirects to an empty circulation page.
BZ6328 follow-up 3
Fixes comment 23 from Fernando L. Canizo : when the patron was debarred and debar removed
he still could not check-out.
The changes in the IsMemberBlocked (that were on biblibre/master) were lost somewhere
The sub was still checking for old_issues instead of calling CheckBorrowerDebarred
to get a debardate if applicable
Note : this bug was appearing only is you had issuing rules defined for itemtype/categorycode/branch.
Seemed to work if you had only default rules. That's probably why it hadn't been spotted before

Currently, the misc/cronjobs script cleanup_database truncates the session table (deleting all records, including active sessions).
With an additional parameter sessdays, this behavior could be changed or (perhaps better) extended. If the parameter sessdays is passed along with a number of days, the script only deletes older session records. This is accomplished by examining the values of lasttime, atime or ctime in the record.
So, calling the script like:
./cleanup_database.pl -v -sessions -sessdays 7
will only delete sessions records older than 7 days. The "old style" call
./cleanup_database.pl -v -sessions
still works too and truncates the table as before.

This is done by saving the notices in the message_queue table with
type 'print'. The notices are generated from a notice named
HOLD_PRINT. At the end of the day, they are dumped to an HTML file and
marked as sent by a new cronjob.
This setup is intended to be temporary; modules/batch/ shouldn't be around
forever.
Mandatory SQL:
INSERT INTO message_transport_types (message_transport_type) values ('print');
Modified overdue_notices.pl to support output of html for printing.
The -html option will e-mail notices to those with e-mail, and output
html to print for borrowers without e-mail.
When system preference PrintNoticesMaxLines is set to a positive
integer, it will limit the number of items on the notice to that
number, and append a message to the end telling the borrower to
check his or her account for the full listing of items. This only
affects print notices, not emailed ones.
Mandatory SQL:
INSERT INTO `systempreferences`
( `variable` , `value` , `options` , `explanation` , `type` ) i
VALUES ( 'PrintNoticesMaxLines', '0', '', i
'If greater than 0, sets the maximum number of lines an overdue notice will print. If the number of items is greater than this number, the notice will end with a warning asking the borrower to check their online account for a full list of overdue items.',

Note: overdue_notices.pl really needs to be completely re-written.
The script does not process all fields advertised in tools/letter.pl
This patch adds code to process all fields advertised as well as any
from the items table.
It also adds two additional tags for use in the letter templates:
<item></item> which should enclose all fields from the biblio, biblioitems,
and items tables.
<fine></fine> which should be enclosed by the item tag and should
enclose a currency identifier per ISO 4217. If this tag is present with
a proper identifier, the fine for that item will be displayed in the
proper currency format. Note: ISO 4217 changes from time to time therefore
all currencies may not be supported. If you find one that is not
supported, please file a bug with the Locale::Currency::Format author
Tan D Nguyen <tnguyen at cpan doe org>.
An example of the implimentation of these two tags in a notice template
might be like:
The following item(s) is/are currently overdue:
<item>"<<biblio.title>>" by <<biblio.author>>, <<items.itemcallnumber>>, Barcode: <<items.barcode>> Fine: <fine>GBP</fine></item>
Which, assuming two items were overdue, would result in a notice like:
The following item(s) is/are currently overdue:
"A Short History of Western Civilization" by Harrison, John B, 909.09821 H2451, Barcode: 08030003 Fine: £3.50

.oddrow {background-color:#E5E5E5;}

Allows temporary locations corresponding to 'in processing' and 'shelving'
so that newly-created items, and newly-returned items do not show
immediately as a available. Three new system preferences govern the usage
of these features.
NewItemsDefaultLocation. If system pref NewItemsDefaultLocation is set to a location code,
all newly catalogued items will be set to the location set in this preference.
Location code must be a valid LOC authorized value type.
InProcessingToShelvingCart. if the system pref InProcessingToShelvingCart is turned on,
any items run through returns.pl with a location code for 'PROC', will be modified to
have a new location code of 'CART'.
ReturnToShelvingCart. If the syspref ReturnToShelvingCart is turned on,
all items returned other than confirmed holds will have a new location code of 'CART'.
Any item issued is automatically taken of the shelving cart.
Adds a cron script shelf_to_cart.pl which should be run hourly.
Updates all items with a location of CART to the item's permanent location.
The original location code is stored in the new items column 'permanent_location'.

undesirable. This patch modifies that bit to check for the presence of
whatever directory is going to be used, either --out, ENV{TMPDIR}, or /tmp.
As before, if the write to the directory fails for any reason--including
its' non-existence--that is handled later, but this message will help
