It's a bit confusing to have RESERVESLIP named "Hold Slip", we should finish the job and recode the slip. Test Plan: 1) Apply this patch 2) Run updatedatabase.pl 3) Try printing a hold slip, you should note no difference from pre-patch behavior Followed test plan. The slip is triggered if you want to check out an item that is reserved / on hold for another patron. Works as expected.

<h1>Notices & slips</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>All notices and circulation receipts (or slips) generated by Koha can be customized using the Notices & Slips Tool. The system comes with several predefined templates that will appear when you first visit this tool.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Each notice can be edited, but only a few can be deleted, this is to prevent system errors should a message try to send without a template. Each notice and slip can be edited on a per library basis, by default you will see the notices for all libraries.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you have a style you'd like applied to all slips you can point the SlipCSS preference to a stylesheet. The same is true for notices, using the NoticeCSS preference to define a stylesheet.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Adding Notices & Slips</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>To add a new notice or slip</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Click 'New Notice'</li>
|
|
<li>Choose which library this notice or slip is for</li>
|
|
<li>Choose the module this notice is related to</li>
|
|
<li>The Code is limited to 20 characters
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li style="color: #990000;">Important: When working with the overdue notices you want each notice at each branch to have a unique code. Think about using the branch code in front of the notice code for each branch.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Use the name field to expand on your Code
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li style="background-color: #ffe599;">Tip: With overdue notices, be sure to put your branch name in the description as well so that it will be visible when setting up your triggers.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Next you can customize the notice for every possible delivery method
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Every notice should have an Email template set for it</li>
|
|
<li>If you're using the TalkingTechItivaPhoneNotification service you can set up a Phone notification</li>
|
|
<li>If you plan on printing this notice you can set the Print template next</li>
|
|
<li>If you have enabled SMS notices with the SMSSendDriver preference you can set the text for your SMS notices next</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Each notice offers you the same options
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>If you plan on writing the notice or slip in HTML check the 'HTML Message' box, otherwise the content will be generated as plain text</li>
|
|
<li>Message Subject is what will appear in the subject line of the email</li>
|
|
<li>In the message body feel free to type whatever message you feel is best, use the fields on the left hand side to enter individualized data from the from database.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><span style="color: #990000;">Important: Overdue notices can use <<items.content>> tags by themselves, or use <item></item> to span all of the tags.</span>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>On overdue notices make sure to use <<items.content>> tags to print out the data related to all items that are overdue.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The other option, only for overdue notices, is to use the <item></item> tags to span the line so that it will print out multiple lines. One example for the <item></item> tag option is:<item>"<<biblio.title>>" by
|
|
<<biblio.author>>, <<items.itemcallnumber>>,
|
|
Barcode: <<items.barcode>> , Checkout date:
|
|
<<issues.issuedate>>, Due date:
|
|
<<issues.date_due>> Fine: <<items.fine>> Due date:
|
|
<<issues.date_due>> </item></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li style="color: #990000;">Important: Only the overdue notices take advantage of the <item></item> tags, all other notices referencing items need to use <<items.content>></li>
|
|
<li style="background-color: #ffe599;">Tip: To add today's date you can use the <<today>> syntax</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h5>Overdue Notice Markup</h5>
|
|
|
|
<p>When creating your overdue notices there are two tags in addition to the various database fields that you can use in your notices.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="color: #990000;">Important: These new tags only work on the overdue notices, not other circulation related notices at this time.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>These tags are <item> and </item> which should enclose all fields from the biblio, biblioitems, and items tables.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>An example of using these tags in a notice template might be like:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The following item(s) is/are currently overdue:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> <item>"<<biblio.title>>" by <<biblio.author>>, <<items.itemcallnumber>>, Barcode: <<items.barcode>> Fine: <<items.fine>></item></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Which, assuming two items were overdue, would result in a notice like:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The following item(s) is/are currently overdue:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> "A Short History of Western Civilization" by Harrison, John B, 909.09821 H2451, Barcode: 08030003 Fine: 3.50<br />
|
|
"History of Western Civilization" by Hayes, Carlton Joseph Huntley, 909.09821 H3261 v.1, Barcode: 08030004 Fine: 3.50</p>
