I'm wondering how hard it would be to create a few new ones for library contact 
info, say %library_phone%, %library_website%, etc. My programming-fu is weak, 
though, so I'm not sure I'm be the person to do it!

Buzzy -

You can manually add things like the library name, phone, etc. They just aren't 
listed as macros.

Here's how I configured the top of our patron-oriented receipts (items out, 
renewals, etc):

<center>Homer Public Library<br/>
500 Hazel Ave, Homer AK 99603<br/>
907-235-3180<br/>
www.cityofhomer-ak.gov/library<br/>
~    ~    ~    ~    ~    ~    ~    ~    ~    ~    ~ <br/></center>
You have the following items:<hr/><ol>


And it prints on the receipt as this (only centered):

Homer Public Library
500 Hazel Ave, Homer AK 99603
907-235-3180
www.cityofhomer-ak.gov/library
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
You have the following items:

You set this up on one station, then copy the templates to all other computers 
at that branch. It's a little work, but only has to be done once. And since you 
have to copy the customized templates to each workstation regardless, there's 
not much difference in typing/coping a line of macros vs. typing the library 
name manually.

Hope that helps. And thanks for the list, Lynn!

Thanks, Lynn. This is great. I'm wondering how hard it would be to create a few 
new ones for library contact info, say %library_phone%, %library_website%, etc. 
My programming-fu is weak, though, so I'm not sure I'm be the person to do it!

Hi everyone,

In the receipt template editor, you can get a list of macros that you can use 
by clicking the "Macros" button. However, I'm wondering if there are other 
macros that are available but simply aren't listed. Is there a list of the 
available macros anywhere? Specifically what we're trying to do is setup a 
generic selfcheck receipt template for our consortium that could include, say, 
the individual library's phone number, website, etc.

Thanks for your help!

Cheers!
Buzzy Nielsen
