Hi Aaron,
I've spent some time looking at this. I used the ESI scripts as a
excellent starting point. We used generate_circ_notices.pl and then
adapted the xsl so that it split the files up by org unit and also added
some conditionals to allow different notice text for adults and juniors.
Also managed to make it send different notices at different periods for
different consortia members. It's a lot of xsl but is almost doing the
job and produces PDF output.
Next step is printed hold notifications. Anyone done anything with them
as I can't see a way of doing it right now?
Thanks
Jonathan

I am not sure exactly how ESI handled it, but I think they set up a
script to run the various notifications and put a list of what library
gets each type of notification in the script.

I've also been working on this issue for Balsam and will second the
call for info. I was thinking of adding a parmeter to take circ_lib
from the command line, insert it into the QUERY in
generate_notice_set() and feed it different templates for each
respective library that needs it's own formatting. Right now I think
we have a couple that want to stuff window envelopes but not
everyone is asking for that.
so def bump!

Hi all, I've been exploring print billing notices and was
wondering if others could share how they are handling print
notices. I'm aware that print notices can be set up in
opensrf.xml, but any template created here will be global. I've
also been looking at some scripts based on the ones available at
http://svn.open-ils.org/trac/ILS-Contrib/browser/ESI-Examples/trunk/notices
to provide some level of customization for different. Are there
other ways multi-site consortia are handling print notices?
Thanks in advance for your feedback! Kathy Lussier
