- 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 ;-) )
- Trying to get a basket not owned by so of his own branch leads to mainpage.
- Lists onlys ths baskets owned by someon of user's brach.
Auth.pm now sends a cookie with userenv informations.
Addign a Cookie containing user specific vars such as :
branch,
firstname,
surname,
cardnumber...
may be criticized from a lawyer point of view, since name and surname are given.
But the real need is for userid and branch.
And it is achieved.
Auth passes now TWO cookies :
a session cookie
And an environment cookie.
Needs Two Update in database...
On more table (action_logs)
And One more syspref Activate_Log, with On|Off values.
Maintainance has been sweeped of previous Log functions
addbiblio.pl contains a sample of code using Log.pm
To be generalized to Authorities, acquisitions, members soon.
SearchBiblio.pm forked from SearchMarc.pm
opac-search-biblio.pl forked from opac-search.pl (just change module)
an attempt at a new search using FULLTEXT indexes.
NB: Boolean won't work without MySQL >v4.0
NNB: Will be slow without indexes added on Biblio table as follows:
ALTER TABLE biblio ADD FULLTEXT (author,title,unititle,seriestitle);
Only searching on "Any word" field just now.
more to come.
how it works :
* create the table marc_Tword with the following structure :
CREATE TABLE `marc_Tword` (
`word` varchar(80) NOT NULL default '',
`usedin` text NOT NULL,
`tagsubfield` varchar(4) NOT NULL default '',
PRIMARY KEY (`word`,`tagsubfield`)
) TYPE=MyISAM;
* open a console & type export PERL5LIB & export KOHA_CONF as usual.
* fill this table with misc/build_marc_Tword.pl. Warning, this script uses a very very consumming but very fast method to fill the table : it does everything in memory, then write everything. Another method is provided (& commented), but it's 100x times slower (really !)
* open opac-search.pl and replace use C4::SearchMarc; by use C4::SearchMarcTest; as the API hasn't changed, it will work immediatly.
* go to opac-search (advanced search) & search whatever you want. Should work fine.
LIMITS :
* build_marc_Tword has problem with extended chars (accented ones mainly). So don't be afraid if you get sql errors. They are not a problem for a POC
* search works always order by title, whatever you choose.
* search works only search WORDA and WOARDB, not yet WORDA or WORDB or WORDA except WORDB.
A sub had been forgotten to use the C4::Context->marcfromkohafield array, that caches DB datas.
this is only a little improvement for normal DB modif, but almost x2 the speed of bulkmarcimport... from 6records/seconds to more than 10.
if this parameter is defined, the url is used instead of the default one.
So, you can have your own stylesheet somewhere, and use it instead of the official Koha one.
* partial support of the "linkage" MARC feature : if you enter a "link" on a MARC subfield, the magnifying glass won't search on the field, but on the linked field. I agree it's a partial support. Will be improved, but I need to investigate MARC21 & UNIMARC diffs on this topic.
http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=858
* added a button to cancel issue
* adding checkbox to cancel reserve on the book (checked by default)
* the cancelation reserve is done on reserves done for a given item or for any item
Nelsonville, pls test & confirm it's OK
In 2.4, a new DB structure will highly speed things and this limit will be removed.
FindDuplicate is activated again, the perf problems were due to this problem.
For instance, it's only done on ISBN only. Will be improved soon.
When a duplicate is detected, the biblio is not saved, but the user is asked for a confirmations.
* in subscription Add, the issue number & date is used to calculate the 1st issue (previously, a "next issue number & date" was applied, meaning you had to enter the number & date of a previous issue)
* the "inner loop" used for serials number ({XYZ}) is now shown & can be modified. The innerloop is used for numbering formulas saying "change the number once every 4 times".
This field is useful when the callnumber contains no information on the room where the item is stored.
With this field, we now have 3 levels of informations to find a book :
* the branch.
* the location.
* the callnumber.
This should be versatile enough to solve any storing method.
This hack is quite simple, due to the nice Biblio.pm API. The MARC => koha db link is automatically managed. Just add the link in the parameters section.
moving the getalltemplates and getalllanguages subs out from Search.pm (that will be deprecated soon) to Koha.pm
moving changelanguage.pl to OPAC scope
* acquisition rewritte : create a aqbasket table to deal with "bookseller order header".
* add "close basket" feature : a closed basket can't be modified
* suggestion feature : manage suggestions in acquisition (after suggestion filled in OPAC)
This 1st commit reorders deeply the circulation module.
The goal is to :
* have something 100% templated/translatable.
* have something easy to read & modify, to say to customers/users : you can define your circulation rules as you want if you accept to look in C4/Circ/Circ2.pm
The circulation now works :
1=> ask for the borrower barcode (as previously)
2=> ask for the item barcode.
3=> check "canbookbeissued". This new sub returns 2 arrays :
- IMPOSSIBLE : if something is here, then the issue is not possible and is not done.
- TOBECONFIRMED : if something is here, then the issue can be donc if the user confirms it.
4=> if TOBECONFIRMED is set : ask for confirmation, loop. if neither are set or confirmation flag is set (2nd pass of the loop), then issue.
The IMPOSSIBLE & TOBECONFIRMED hashs contains :
* the reason of the line. always in capitals, with words separated by _ : BARCODE_UNKNOWN, DEBTS ... as key of the hash
* more information, as value of the hash ( TOBECONFIRMED{ALREADY_ISSUED} = "previous_borrower_name", for example)
This commit :
* compiles
* works on certain situations, not on other
* does NOT issue (the line is # )
* does not check issuing rules depending of # of books allowed / already issued
The next step is :
- check issuing rule.
- extend issuing rule to have a 3D array : for each branch / itemtype / borrowertype = issuing number and issuing length.

* adding "suggestion", that popup a windows. The popup windows shows, for each word entered in the search form, the 10 words that sounds like the word entered, and that are used most often.
* fixes some minor bugs
Still to do :
* good support of ' and ,
