| 22:19 | chris | morning |
| 22:48 | kados | hiya |
| 10:47 | jamesa | hello all, can anyone tell me if email notification of requests in in 2.2.7 and where in the doco to find out about it please? |
| 11:30 | kados | morning all |
| 11:30 | hi jamesa | |
| 11:30 | jamesa: it should be in the cron/ directory | |
| 11:30 | dcs will be in the scripts themselves I think | |
| 11:35 | jamesa | ok, I just got back, so setup a cron job to run a script that i should find in the koha/cron directory ? |
| 11:36 | kados | think so |
| 11:37 | ahh | |
| 11:37 | jamesa | I have some scripts .pl in /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/misc/notifys but none seem to be about reserves - seem to be about fines |
| 11:37 | kados | in rel_2_2 it's in koha/misc |
| 11:37 | overduenotices.pl | |
| 11:38 | ahh, you need one for requests | |
| 11:38 | sorry | |
| 11:38 | the way I've done that in the past is to just insert some code into Reserves2.pm | |
| 11:38 | what's your email I'll send you a patch | |
| 11:39 | jamesa | ok thanks, jamesalecarrow.com |
| 11:41 | so that's part of C4::Koha ? | |
| 11:42 | oh no I see it in /intranet/modules | |
| 11:42 | kados | ? |
| 11:42 | C4/Reserves2.pm patch should be in your inbox :-) | |
| 11:43 | jamesa | the reserves2.pm module is in /intranet/modules |
| 11:43 | kados | yea |
| 11:43 | intranet/modules/C4 | |
| 11:46 | jamesa | ok got the email - thanks, on first glance it seems to be sending to a pre defined email address (librarian?) |
| 11:46 | kados | that one does, yea |
| 11:47 | you could easily snag the patron's email | |
| 11:47 | jamesa | I would like to notify the borrower when their request is available (status = checked in, or on shelf) |
| 11:47 | kados | ahh |
| 11:47 | for that you'd have to play around in Returns.pm I think | |
| 11:47 | jamesa | this could be a basis for creating something, perhaps a cronjob after all |
| 11:48 | kados | yea, it could also be a cronjob that watches the reserves table |
| 11:48 | jamesa | cronjob - lookup reserves table, check item status, notify borrower |
| 11:48 | easy when you type it quick! | |
| 11:49 | kados | :-) |
| 11:49 | jamesa | will take me some time though, so if no one has invented this wheel before I will consider if it is within my meagre skills |
| 11:51 | would perl be the preferred tool, I see some koha add ons in PHP | |
| 11:52 | might need to track if email has already been sent, dont want to nag borrower every day | |
| 11:53 | another table or collumn in the DB? | |
| 11:53 | kados | that'd be one way to do it |
| 11:53 | what I'd do, is email the koha-devel list | |
| 11:53 | and explain what you need in detail | |
| 11:54 | then propose a design idea you have | |
| 11:54 | see what folks say | |
| 11:54 | it'd be nice if whatever you create could be used by others IYKWIM | |
| 11:55 | jamesa | I have no problem sharing it, a cance to give something back, would like to know it has not been written already though |
| 11:58 | ok, time for bed here, I shall check koha-devel archives and then send an email | |
| 11:58 | cheers |
