Re: branch restrictions

Hi, Robb -

The short and simple answer to your question is "no, it's not possible
with the current Koha code," and that probably indicates that no one else
has felt a burning need for this restriction.  However, if other people
have an itch for such a feature, perhaps we should scratch it!

Here are some of the SQL statements I use to prepare the Nelsonville
Library reports:

SELECT biblioitems.itemtype, COUNT(biblioitems.itemtype) AS count FROM
items,biblioitems WHERE YEAR(items.dateaccessioned)=2004 AND
MONTH(items.dateaccessioned)=4 AND
biblioitems.biblioitemnumber=items.biblioitemnumber GROUP BY
biblioitems.itemtype;

This one produces a count of items, subdivided by item type, that were
added to the catalog in any given month.  (In the example above, the month
would be April 2004.)  If you want a count of all items by item type, just
leave out the YEAR and MONTH conditionals.

SELECT itemtype, COUNT(itemtype) AS count FROM statistics WHERE
YEAR(datetime)=2004 AND MONTH(datetime)=4 AND branch='APL' AND
type='issue' GROUP BY itemtype;

This one produces a count of books issued by a particular branch in a
particular month.  Note that this _does not_ count renewals.  I use

In addition to those mentioned by others, "barcodes on the fly" can be 
a nice companion to koha. You can find it via oss4lib.org, I think.

You can put them in http://bugs.koha.org/ anyway and someone will mark 
them as bugs or enhancement requests. I've done this one described 
below, but I'll let the MARC-wise specify the other bugs, as I'm not 
100% how to split them:

This is a great help, thank you. May I include it in the 2.0.1 release?

Online help on Koha => REQUEST FOR HELP

Hello,

I just commit on CVS a new feature, that will be available for 2.2 : 
online HELP

On each template, a "HELP" link has been added.
it opens a popup, filled with an help template.
the help template is in the help/ directory.
The help.pl files builds the online help using the name of the caller 
page (referer).

If the user clic on "help" when on page "admin/itemtypes.pl", the 
"help/admin/itemtypes.tmpl" is opened.
If the "help/admin/itemtypes.tmpl" does not exists, a default "sorry, no 
help on this topic" page is shown.

Works fine, but now, the big work has to be done : create the online 
help pages...

So, we need candidate to create the "help files".
The help file can be a simple text file, only with cariage returns. If 
there are some candidate here, please say here which file or part of 
Koha you can do, and send me the help files.
I'll include them in the official release, with HTML code added where 
needed.

This task should not be done by a developper, but by librarians.

Anyone sending me files will have it's name added to the contributor 
list, in "about" page of Koha. His name will be reminded forever by ppl
