Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] How do other systems handle print notices?
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?

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!

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] newbie evergreen server build - en-GB
Hi John,
I don't normally have a problem installing the en-GB. This is what I do.
In psql,
evergreen=# SELECT code, marc_code, name, description FROM
config.i18n_locale;
If your language is NOT there, then you need to add it
evergreen=# INSERT INTO config.i18n_locale (code, marc_code, name,
description) VALUES ('en-GB', 'eng', 'English (British)', 'British
English');
psql -h localhost -U evergreen -f
Open-ILS/src/sql/Pg/950.DATA.seed-values-en-GB.sql
There's some other stuff here if that helps?

I still
haven't managed to get the UK localisation to work and am posting separately
about that issue. So, initially I would say you need lots of patience and some
Linux expertise. I spent many hours over a period of weeks installing Ubuntu,
then Debian (on two different PCs) and going through the installation
procedure, encountering errors each time.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Trying to do Overdues.
Two points on this particular issue. 1) Is there a way to narrow down your email notifications by Permission Group? For example, you may want to send email notifications to patrons but not staff. Cannot see any way of doing it right now. 2) I went down the Action Triggers route for overdues and set-up a test scenario to pick up one notice which I prepared as a sample. I find that if I go into the Trigger and use the Test option and scan the barcode of the ID which is overdue, I get the notice and a message is added to the patron account. However, I cannot get the same result if I run the action_trigger script. perl action_trigger_runner.pl --osrf-config /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml --hooks checkout.due perl /openils/bin/action_trigger_runner.pl --osrf-config /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml --run-pending or even perl /openils/bin/action_trigger_runner.pl --osrf-config /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml --process-hooks Feels like I'm missing one piece of the puzzle! All on 2.0.10 Thanks Jonathan On 25/10/2011 21:36, Ben Shum wrote: Hi Michelle, In our consortium, we've implemented both email and print notices for overdues (and other types of notices, pre-overdues, holds, etc.) Depending on which version of Evergreen you're using at your library, I think that may alter what method is best to use to implement notices. I believe in 1.6 and earlier, this was mostly accomplished using adapted support scripts. In 2.0 and later, there's a framework called action/trigger (A/T) that controls much of the notification infrastructure. Our production system ended up being a mixture of the two, where all our email notices come from A/T configuration, and all our print notices come from the older legacy support scripts. I'll see if I can dig up any documentation on how this is configured in general. Not sure, but this might be one of those wishlist areas that the Documentation Interest Group is looking for people to contribute written material for. In case your technical support wish to poke around, we used parts of this ESI example to guide us in our initial setup/exploration: http://svn.open-ils.org/trac/ILS-Contrib/browser/ESI-Examples/trunk/notices -- Ben On 10/25/2011 01:45 PM, Michelle Dyer wrote: I have been told that you do your overdues by email to your patrons.

I don't have many patrons with email or access to computers except for here so a list rather then automatic email would work better for us. If anyone has hints, ideas, ect.. that would be most welcome.
