Hello all,
Hi François,
Here, you will find the RFCs :
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Overdue_Notice_Enhancement
About the replacement cost, a question/an idea : the amount, iiuc, is
ADDED to the price in items table. Would it be relevant to have 2
other options:
* the default replacementprice is REPLACING the items.replacementprice
* the default is a % of additionnal fee.
I'm not sure there's a real case for the 1st, but I'm sure that, for
some libraries, the "overhead" for an overdue document is something
like 20% of the initial price.
Purchase price = 20USD (or CAN ;-) )
replacementprice = 20 + 4 = 24USD.
The default replacement price will not be added to
items.replacementprice value. It's not a value to adjust what we already
have.
The default replacement price will be used when there is no value in the
items.replacementprice column.
For example, the default replacement price is 20$.
The patron lost the book A.
items.replacementprice for book A = 30$.
Long overdue cronjob will charge 30$ to the patron.
The patron lost book B.
items.replacementprice for book B = 0$
Long overdue cronjob will charge 20$ to the patron (the default
replacement price).
That's the feature we are going to implement.
I agree, we could also update the mysql table to replace the 0 value by
the default value but it means having access to the database, etc. With
this development, librarians will be free to manage these values without
having access to the database.
I also like the idea of managing the replacement cost with a % of
additionnal fee but it's a new feature. We don't have funding for this
one so we won't add it to the development. Thanks for the suggestion.
