[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Bills Current Receipt Template and Total Owed

2015-06-10 Thread Scott Thomas
Hi, We are at 2.6.3. Patrons often ask for a print-out of current bills that includes their overall balance. The Bills Current Receipt does have a %total_owed% macro, but, when we add it to the template, it gives the balance of the last bill listed on the receipt and not the balance of all

I should clarify that my previous suggestion was based on my recollection that you have access to the database and could set this up. Justin On 6/10/15 3:09 PM, Justin Hopkins  wrote: Holly, I think the simplest solution would be to run a script on a nightly cron that updated the database

Hi Scott, There is a %balance_owed% macro that works on the 'checkout' receipt, but it does not work on the 'items_out' receipt. It sounds like that would be a good bug to add to launchpad! Terran McCanna PINES Program Manager Georgia Public Library Service 1800 Century Place, Suite 150

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Modifing Reports

Hello Everyone, I set up a series of Reports to run for some libraries in our system and now they have new staff and I need to update the report with the new email addresses. We're operating on 2.6.3 and so I have to recreate the reports to include the new staff member. Is that different in

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Modifing Reports

The new feature is great for this, but another option to consider is using group e-mail rather than individual e-mail addresses in reports. For example, if there is an e-mail address that goes to the library's reference staff, put that address in the report, the e-mail will always go to the right

Thanks Elizabeth and Kathy! I’m excited to see this when we upgrade.We have a few email lists, but most reports are limited to one person, but it might worthwhile to look into for future reports. Elizabeth From: Open-ils-general [mailto:open-ils-general-boun...@list.georgialibraries.org]

there's an srfsh script that converts juv to adult, whatever that is, that could potentially be conscripted to this task... So in addition to “unchecking” the Juvenile box, the script could also add an Alert? That’s exactly what we’re looking for.

Holly, I think the simplest solution would be to run a script on a nightly cron that updated the database as necessary. Flip the Juvenile flag, change their profile, possibly remove the grouping/ident2_value, and add an alert. I thought we might be running something like that ourselves, but

Good Evening Scott, I started playing around with receipt templates earlier this afternoon and pulled Jason Etheridge into the discussion. Thank you, Jason! While there was a potential workaround, we discovered that the sum= sumout= functionality is trying to inexplicitly strip out dollar signs.

I'm interested in this idea too - have fines entered your discussions? We have encountered patrons who had max fines as a juvenile, but their parents never paid the fines. We wouldn't want to automatically remove the parent's identifying info from the account in these cases since the parent is

Changing the ID would be manually, when the juve-now-adult is at the library. When we scan their card the alert would prompt us to ask for THEIR ID and then we’d change the information, as long as the fines are below our threshold (we’re often very generous with kids becoming adults, especially
