Hi Hope I find you well. We are an academic library and cannot wait for the implementation of the Hourly Loans RFC as outlined in http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Hourly_Loans_RFC . Any time line for the implementtion of the flexible hourly loan?

Re: [Koha] Implementation of Hourly Loans RFC
Hi I am aware of the presence of hourly loan. However, it is the advanced features such as (1) options for rounding 1. do not round (exact) 2. next 5 minute increment 3. next 10 minute increment 4. next 15 minute increment 5. next half hour 6. next hour 7. next end of day (closing time) 8. next beginning of day (opening time) policy for handling 1. due at the library’s closing 2. due at the library’s next opening 3. due at the library’s next opening plus however long the due time occurred after the previous closing (i.e. pause the loan period while the library is closed) 4. due at the library’s next opening plus a fixed time For now I think hourly loan are computed on 24-hour day, whereas I have items that allow for hourly loan from 10:00 to 14:00 hours and then overnight borrowing till the following day at 09:00 , an hour after the library opens. I am having challenges implementing the policy and I am running 3.116.1 Regards, Admire Mutsikiwa From: Chris Cormack [mailto:chr...@catalyst.net.nz] Sent: Monday, August 04, 2014 11:23 AM To: amutsik...@uzlib.uz.ac.zw; koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: Re: [Koha] Implementation of Hourly Loans RFC Hourly loans have been in Koha since 3.8.0 which was released April 2012 Chris On 4 August 2014 7:35:13 pm NZST, amutsik...@uzlib.uz.ac.zw wrote: Hi Hope I find you well.

Re: [Koha] Implementation of Hourly Loans RFC
Hi, I am not sure if someone is planning to implement the full specification as written on the wiki, but there is some work in progress on taking opening hours of the library into account: Bug 8133 - hourly loans doesn't know when library closed http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8133 Katrin Am 04.08.2014 um 14:21 schrieb amutsik...@uzlib.uz.ac.zw: Hi I am aware of the presence of hourly loan.
