Josh, Using PayPal is similar to Stripe, since the transaction is completed via PayPal and the CC data is not stored in Evergreen. We disabled the staff client credit card interface by commenting out the relevant menuitem in Open-ILS/xul/staff_client/server/patron/bill2.xul. (IANM, that relevant

I'd argue for "No" on the creation of an acquisitions list. Mainly for the same reasons that the administrators' list was shut down and that I disagree with the creation of a circulation list. I think the discussion of Angularization of acquisitions interfaces belongs on the development list and

Hi, Jesse. I won't repeat what Dan said, but I'll add that with a change to an internal flag or two this update will also take care of any ingests required. I think there's a browse or facet ingest required for 2.11. I'm preparing to upgrade from 2.10 to 2.12, and I've run into a similar issue

I should add that the staff client requires SSL and there's no easy way to chagne that, so you can't completely disable SSL and expect things to still function properly. On 03/30/2017 09:23 AM, Jason Stephenson wrote: > Jayaraj, > > It would be done via the Apache configuration fil

Jayaraj, It would be done via the Apache configuration files. You'd move everything from the SSL enabled vhost configurations to the non-SSL vhosts, i.e everything from the port 443 configuration sections to the port 80 configuration. Some of that configuration is duplicated, so only the unique

Jennifer, SRE is short for Serial Record Entry. If that message comes up consistently, you have something wrong. However, I don't know serials well enough to tell you what that something is. MFHDs can be used, but SRE is part of serials proper, and I may be mistaken, but are meant to replace

Jordan, You can set the matchpoints up so that the library that owns the item wins. In that case, the circulation policies and limits of the item owning library will apply. It's not a simple switch. There's no on-off option for this. You have to reconfigure the matchpoints. You can also make
