| 17:37 | ghw | I've got a question about the branch transfers table |

| 17:50 | SkramX joined #koha | |
| 17:50 | SkramX | hi all |
| 17:51 | anyone around to field some very general questions about koha? | |
| 17:58 | ghw | I was just asking a question myself a few minutes ago but I seem to be the only one here |
| 17:58 | Fortunately I seem to have found my own answer | |
| 17:59 | What's your question and maybe I can help | |
| 18:01 | SkramX | hi ghw thanks |
| 18:02 | I'm a IT/programmer guy helping a nonprofit and they're looking for an ILS with a twist - they want to be able to charge like a monthly fee and let people get items mailed to them (think Netflix without the online streaming) | |
| 18:02 | I doubt Koha has that built in - does it have mailing/request built in and as a developer where could I learn more about extensing the software? | |
| 18:04 | ghw | As far as library software goes, Koha can handle requests - i.e. the patrons - or customers - whatever you want to call them - can use the software to place requests on items that are in the database |
| 18:04 | The mailing part would be a human process of finding the items and filling the requests | |
| 18:04 | and then mailing them to the customers | |
| 18:05 | It is also possible to create a patron category that requires a fee payment | |
| 18:05 | wahanui | okay, ghw. |
| 18:05 | SkramX | a fee payment per item or per period of time, ghw ? |
| 18:05 | ghw | But Koha doesn't have any built into it to collect the fee from the customer |
| 18:05 | SkramX | thats okay |
| 18:05 | I see fees for item types | |
| 18:06 | ghw | I'm an end user - I work at a library in Idaho - and we don't have any customers in our system that have to pay a fee |
| 18:06 | SkramX | understood |
| 18:07 | ghw | But when you create "customer" types, it is possible to set up categories that are designated as "Fee Required" and then attach a fee amount to those categories |
| 18:08 | Then you can set the customer type so that it expires every month | |
| 18:08 | Are you looking at a Koha demo site now? | |
| 18:08 | SkramX | i am |
| 18:09 | ghw | If you go to Administration |
| 18:09 | SkramX | i just created a type that has an enrollment for a month and requires a 10 enrollment fee |
| 18:09 | ghw | and then to - yep - you got it figured out before I could even finish typing |
| 18:10 | SkramX | sorry :) |
| 18:10 | ghw | it's cool |
| 18:10 | SkramX | ok i created a patron and see they owe $10.i renewed them and it set the renew date to be the same date but added $10 charge unfortunately |
| 18:11 | ghw | I think if you play around with it you can probably figure out a way to get it to do what you want. |
| 18:11 | SkramX | yeah |
| 18:11 | is this all in perl? | |
| 18:12 | ghw | You could probably even figure out two seperate billing models - create one patron category for monthly billing and a seperate category on a 12 month billing cycle |
| 18:12 | One of the programming people would be better at answering that. | |
| 18:12 | I believe it is, but I'm not 100% sure. | |
| 18:12 | SkramX | np |
| 18:12 | thanks for your help | |
| 18:12 | ghw | np |
| 18:13 | good luck | |
| 18:14 | SkramX | is there any onkine way for people to check items out? |
| 18:15 | or do a hold online? | |
| 18:15 | ghw | which demo are you using? ByWater, Biblibre, etc? |
| 18:15 | SkramX | biblibre |
| 18:15 | wahanui | hmmm... biblibre is everywhere ;) |
| 18:16 | SkramX | i dont see any way to login as patron |
| 18:16 | ghw | I think that biblibre's demo has sample data in it, so you should be able to. |
| 18:17 | what you want to do is to find some patron data in the staff client | |
| 18:17 | then switch over to the demo marked as OPAC | |
| 18:17 | If you're not a librarian, OPAC is lingo for Online Patron Access Catalog | |
| 18:17 | SkramX | kk |
| 18:18 | ghw | so the biblibre OPAC should be connected to the same staff client you're looking at |
| 18:18 | SkramX | ok great - thanks |
| 18:18 | ghw | np |
| 18:21 | SkramX | sorry.. but i made a hold as a user but its not in the hold queue |
| 18:22 | shows under the patron in staff login but not hold queue | |
| 18:22 | Mahdi joined #koha | |
| 18:23 | ghw | The hold queue is re-built every xx minutes based on a chronjob |
| 18:23 | SkramX | oh - it's in holds to pull. duh. |
| 18:23 | ghw | It won't appear in the hold queue report until after the cronjob runs |
| 18:23 | the holds to pull report is based on a different process | |
| 18:24 | SkramX | so after a user requests a hold it first goes to hold queue and then holds to pull? |
| 18:24 | ghw | It is a little confusing but it has to do with titles that have multiple items |
| 18:25 | If you have multiple items attached to one title and you place a hold on the "next available" copy the hold request immediately goes into the "reserves" table in the database and the next copy of that title to get checked in will trigger the hold | |
| 18:26 | whenever the cronjob runs, though, Koha selects 1 copy and places that one copy in the "holds queue" for the library that owns the 1 item | |
| 18:26 | SkramX | gotcha |
| 18:26 | thx | |
| 18:26 | you rock | |
| 18:26 | ghw | thanks |
