If a patron has no email address, we need to avoid stockpiling all
their messages indefinitely. Otherwise they get mailbombed when
their email IS added.
Note that overdues should not be affected, since the overdues job
checks whether the patron email exists before sending the message
(falling back to the admin). The other messaging features are the
targets affected by this patch.

Subroutine arguments enforced w/ with more checks, explicit return undef where warranted.
Placeholders used in SQL where applicable.
One logical error corrected :
- next MESSAGE if ( lc( $message->{'message_transport_type'} eq 'rss' ) );
+ next MESSAGE if ( lc($message->{'message_transport_type'}) eq 'rss' );

The re-creation of statement handles for the same queries, repeatedly,
seriously degrades the performance of notices. This introduces new
class-level caching to avoid that problem.
Note: initial provisions
to do the same with caching of COLUMNS information about tables is
also included, but this would probably be most usefully implemented
in C4::Context (or a separate more central module). The benefits of
caching that info would probably be even greater. Note that this
proposed implementation might be obsoleted by ORM integration, where
DB structure info would already be cached.

- C4::Letters:EnqueueLetter() is aware of new fields in message_queue table
- C4::Circulation::SendCirculationAlert() actually works
- C4::Category cleanup
- C4::ItemType cleanup
- C4::Message is a new module.
It presents yet another way to interact with the message_queue.
You can now take messages that have already been queued and modify
their contents before they're sent out.

This adds notification code to Reserves.pm to send notifications through email
or SMS to patrons when their hold is filled. It does not send the letter
directly, but instead uses EnqueueLetter. Also, it relies on
EnhancedPatronMessaging being on and the hold notification being turned on for
the specific patron through the 'Messaging' tab.

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.
Signed-off-by: Joshua Ferraro <jmf@liblime.com>
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.

- 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 ;-) )
