Hi Nicole,

Glad the picture helps! :^) I just realised the numbering pattern was good but didn't fit the "inner counter" representation at the end. Here is an updated version : http://picpaste.com/innercounter_updated_with_correct_example-56kRWXjo.png

Concerning the rollover, it still exists but you will find it in the advance pattern under the name "When more than". The inner counter is not a new option and doesn't replace the rollover option. Before, you would only find the inner counter in the advance pattern. That would results to mix up configuration specific to the subscription (inner counter which is the number of issues already received) and general numbering pattern configuration (subscription agnostic).

The logic behind this new feature is to put together information that can be re-used in different subscriptions (the numbering patterns) and keep the other options, specific to the subscription, outside the pattern. Ultimately, librarians will be able to share their numbering patters (through sql files) and will only have to set up the subscriptions without paying attention to the advance pattern option.

About your subscription, I did something here that works (http://picpaste.com/Pattern-YJ45tIGU.png) but I missed some info to have exactly the same pattern as yours. First, the subscription starts after the next issue publication date. Could you give me the start date? And, how the subscription deals with irregularities (jan and aug). Does it skip or keep the issue number?

Francois,

That does help! And I love the images. But I'm a bit confused based on the
way it used to work. So let me talk through this.

It used to be that you entered the rollover - that made sense to people.
So if there are 12 issues in a year per volume the rollover was 12 at which
point the volume incremented by 1 and the issue went back to 1. So are you
saying that now you don't have have a rollover field? Instead it's a combo
of the issues field and the inner counter?

How would I change the attached image to fit the new model?

Hi Nicole,

The locale option is useful when you want to display days, month or
season. If you have a german serial, you can use the german locale option
to display days, etc. in german. It doesn't work actually but this patch
fixes the problem :
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11262

The inner counter doesnt tell system when the number should go back to 1.
It is used when you need a "circular" pattern to tell koka how many issues
you received or would have received after the beginning of the "circle". If
you start receiving issues in the middle of a circular pattern, it helps
the system to fall back on the correct numbering when the numbering go back
to 1. (Sorry for my broken english....)

Check the example in the attached file. It should helps! ;)

Francois
