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 ;-) )
