Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Receipt Template Question

[Holly Brennan]

Hi Elizabeth -

Looks like Brent has you covered, but I'll chime in with what I have. On our 
items_out receipt, I have this in the header:

You have a total of  items checked 
out:

Which prints as You have a total of # items checked out:

I also made a sum for our checkout receipts, since it's common for patrons 
(especially parents checking out a lot of picture books) to want to know how 
many books they have in the stack they checked out today:

Today, you checked out  items:

Which prints as Today, you checked out # items:

I've done a lot with receipt templates - they're fun! Glad to hear others 
exploring what can be done.

Hi Brent

Thanks so much! That third option did the trick.

Hi Elizabeth,

There's a sum function that you can include in your receipt templates to add up 
the given macro/value for a total.

I don't believe there's a count function, or I haven't seen one for the receipt 
templates, at least.

You might be able to do something like one of these approaches:

For the "checkout" receipt template (line item bit is included within the  
tags you have):

Line Item: %copy_number%

Footer: You currently have  item(s) checked out 
from%LIBRARY%

That would depend on each of the "copy_number" fields being "1", and that field 
isn't a required entry... so it's probably not the best option.

I'd probably do something like:

Line Item: 1

Footer: You currently have  item(s) checked out 
from%LIBRARY%

So a barebones/complete example for line item/footer would be:

Line Item:


%title%
Author: %author%
Barcode: %barcode%
Due: %due_date%
Item Type: %circ_modifier%
1


Footer:

You currently have  item(s) checked out 
from%LIBRARY%
I'm not sure if there's any harm in hardcoding a "1" value for each line item, 
but that seems to work. I'll let others chime in.

Good luck!

Any suggestions?
