Kyle M Hall <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #26 from Kyle M Hall <[email protected]> --- Maybe I'm a bit late in asking this, but why use itemtype for the floating collection rules instead of collection code? It seems odd to require a separate item type for floating items that are really Books, Audiobooks, etc. For example, at the Crawford County Federated Library System, there are a number of 'rotating collections'. The books and audiobooks move from from one library to the next each month. I have written a rotating collections feature for them that lets the librarian's create 'collections' of items, and set what branch the collection is currently at. Koha currently tracks who owns and item, and where an item is at, but not where an item should be. For example, Collection1 is at LibraryA, and is now to be moved to LibraryB. It my system, a librarian simply goes into the rotating collections system and changes the current library for Collection1 from LibraryA to LibraryB. LibraryA then packs up all the items that are currently on the shelf and ships them to LibraryB. When any books in Collection1 that are currently circulating are checked in, the librarian recieves a notice that the item is part of a rotating collection and should be transferred to LibraryB immediately. Could this feature be used to replicate this scenario? If not, I would be more than happy to open a bug and submit my rotating collections code. I suppose rotating collections are different than floating collections in how they behave. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
