Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Bill Notice from Notifications / Action Triggers

[Terran McCanna]

After some experimentation, we were indeed able to create a new action
trigger that leverages the existing penalty.PATRON_EXCEEDS_FINES hook so
that it generates an email at the same time the penalty is applied to
accounts. I'll work on figuring out how to put it in git for review, but in
the meantime, if anyone wants a description of how we implemented it, let
me know.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Bill Notice from Notifications / Action Triggers

[Blake Henderson]

Terran,

Does that AT generate an email or other notification based upon the 
patron penalty? I suppose that means that the patron account would need 
to have been opened by the staff client in order to execute the penalty 
calculation? The code that I am finding for that AT is related to CSV 
export.

We are planning on implementing a notice using the hook
"penalty.PATRON_EXCEEDS_FINES" so that it is based on the penalty level (in
our case, $10.00 for most types of patrons). We haven't tested it yet, but
we'll probably set the granularity to run nightly.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Bill Notice from Notifications / Action Triggers

[Blake Henderson]

Scott,

I worked on some code for (what sounds like) the same thing:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1496522

I ran my version on production for a bit until I realized it brought the 
utility server to it's knees then disabled the A/T. I was sort of 
waiting to see where the Dan-and-Remington patches took it. It's 
currently waiting for a patch to make it more multi-branch ready. And 
perhaps a better performing PG view.
