[Koha] The Terrific Every-Other-Thursday Training Video | S3E26 | Holds and the Transport Cost Matrix

2023-09-13 Thread BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER
Being on vacation is great for me, but sucks for you.  I didn't get to plug our 
last video.  So, in case you didn't subscribe to our playlist, and missed it, 
be sure to check it out.  And stay tuned for tomorrow's release of Season 4, 
Episode 1!

I get it... you saw the word "Matrix" and thought "Cool! George and Christopher 
are going to get all decked out in black with shades, and do some killer 
special effects, and bend reality before our eyes!" Well, we're not dressing 
up, but I think we'll blow your mind with all the info we throw at you about 
holds and the Transport Cost Matrix. We'll lay out the basics about how holds 
work in Koha, and some important settings you need to know about, and how to 
fine tune the system with the aid of the matrix to maximize the efficiency of 
the holds system. Sorry...we couldn't get Keanu. I guess you'll just have to 
settle for the satisfaction of knowing SO much more than your peers that DIDN'T 
watch this video.

[Koha] System preferences related to "not for loan" itemstypes

2023-09-13 Thread Fairlamb, Christina
Morning all,

I have a problem related to one of my itemtypes that is probably a system
preference I changed a while ago but I can't find it so wondered if anyone
had any ideas where to look.

I have about 15 itemtypes, 4 of which are marked not for loan, 1 of these
"not for loan" items hides the entire record from the OPAC no matter if
there are other viewable/loanable itemtypes attached to the record or not
(It does NOT have the "Hide in OPAC" option selected). This is not the
behaviour I want. If I untick the "not for loan" option for this itemtype,
all is as normal and the record with all valid items can be seen on the
OPAC.

Does anyone have any idea which systempreference this might be related to,
I've checked out OpacHiddenItems specifically, I've checked out the record
level suppression and i've taken a look through all the OPAC
systempreferences but no luck so far.
