[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] straw poll, call numbers in check-in screen
In EG 2.1, we--well, I, this was before we started doing sign-offs--removed the call number column from the list in the Check In interface (in the name of fewer network calls and improved performance), and maybe should not have. I know of at least two libraries that miss it. How do others feel? Should it be restored outright, or made into a configurable option?

Yes, please restore it. Having the call number as on option on the check in screen can be very helpful when you are trying to identify problems.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] straw poll, call numbers in check-in screen
Is everything in the column picker retrieved, even if it's not currently displayed? If so, the long term solution may be to only request from the server what will actually be shown (or the smallest superset necessary) and only retrieve things like call numbers when they're requested. Adding a column with this arrangement would leave some columns blank, but to see those the items could just be scanned again. That way those that need to save network calls can not show it, and those that prefer to display it can take the hit, without having to bother with another setting. Also, I'd vote for it to go back in.

In this case, since rows are inserted at the top of the list, they all get fleshed and retrieved. And there's no standard mechanism for per column retrieval based on column visibility. If so, the long term solution may be to only request from the server what will actually be shown (or the smallest superset necessary) and only retrieve things like call numbers when they're requested. I think that's where we're heading, long term--not sending large objects across the wire unless we really need them. I'll work up a branch restoring the call number (and prefix and suffix).

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] ***SPAM*** Action / Trigger
Greetings Star-fighters;
My goal is to create process that will email my patrons their due
date information after checkout. I'm hoping to originate one-email
per set of items checked-out. (not one email per copy).
I have created a Trigger Event Definition:
evergreen=# select * from action_trigger.event_definition where id = 101;

| From: [%- params.sender_email || default_sender %]
| Subject: [kcls.org] Item Due Reminder
|
| Dear [% user.family_name %], [% user.first_given_name %]
|
| A friendly reminder, these items you checked out
today are due at:

| Total Owed For Transaction: [%

After creating this definition, I perform a checkout (which becomes
visible in the circulation view)

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] ***SPAM*** Action / Trigger
Hi David,
Try changing the delay_field from circ.create_time to just
create_time. Since the hook has a core_type of circ, circ. is
implied.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Equinox offering two scholarships for the 2012 Code4Lib conference
[Please excuse the cross-posting. Potential applicants should be aware of a new piece of information since the initial announcement: as part of our overall sponsorship of the conference, Equinox had one attendance slot that was reserved for an Equinox employee. We are now using that slot in order to make the scholarship of benefit to somebody who would otherwise not be able to attend the conference. If you meet the eligibility criteria and either didn't register for the conference yet or are on the waiting list, we encourage you to apply for the scholarship.] Equinox Software is offering 2 scholarships to the code4lib conference in February. The scholarships will reimburse travel and accommodation expenses up to $750.00 USD for a full-time employee from public libraries using either Evergreen or Koha to attend the Code4Lib Conference in Seattle, Washington, USA, from February 6-9, 2012. The awardees will also receive (depending on their circumstances) free registration to Code4Lib or reimbursement of an already-paid registration. ELIGIBILITY The applicants must be presently working in a public library that is currently using or is actively committed to moving to either Evergreen or Koha as their ILS. The applicants must indicate any amount and source of additional funding which, combined with the Scholarship, will permit them to cover their expenses to attend the Conference. (This will not reduce the amount of the award.) Preference will be given to underfunded libraries or libraries in budget crisis. DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONDecember 31, 2011 The email application should include a current resume, including all contact information, education, and experience, along with an essay as described below. The applicants will write up to 750 words of narrative in English to address the following: •Description of the library’s mission and commitment to open source solutions •How attendance may benefit the applicant •How the applicant intends to share the benefit of the experience with colleagues •Description of funding constraints, budgetary limitations, or travel/hiring freezes pertinent to the applicant’s situation APPLICATION ADDRESS: Please send resumes and essays to Grace Dunbar before December 31, 2011 by email attachment to c4lgr...@esilibrary.com NOTIFICATION: The successful applicants will be notified by January 5, 2012.
