Description Chris Cormack 2010-05-21 00:54:06 UTC


---- Reported by bchurch@ptfs.com 2008-10-01 10:08:05 ----

The AutoEmailPrimaryAddress only applies to the feature where a borrower is automatically sent an email when their account is created. This preference works in conjunction with the AutoEmailOpacUser preference. A system preference should be used universally for email notices and not just for one feature.

According to my information, if the preference is set to OFF, Koha checks email, emailpro, and B_email (in that order) and uses what looks like the first valid email address.

could someone write here which mails should use this syspref, pls. Would be much easier to fix !

The AutoEmailPrimaryAddress preference should apply to the various email notices sent to patron, which are:

CHECKIN  - Item Check in  
CHECKOUT - Item Checkout 	  	 
DUE - Item Due Reminder 	  	 
DUEDGST - Item Due Reminder (Digest) 	  	 
EVENT - Upcoming Library Event 	  	 
ODUE - Overdue Notice 	  	
PREDUE 	- Advance Notice of Item Due 	  	 
PREDUEDGST - Advance Notice of Item Due (Digest) 	  
HOLD - Hold Available for Pickup 	  	 

It is my understanding that these notices use the address in the "email" field only. If there is no address in this field, Koha does not search for another email address.

Comment 1 Paul Poulain 2011-08-02 12:48:43 UTC
This syspref is now used in 

members/memberentry.pl:            if  (C4::Context->preference("AutoEmailPrimaryAddress") ne 'OFF'  && 

C4/Reserves.pm:    my $which_address = C4::Context->preference('AutoEmailPrimaryAddress');

C4/Letters.pm:        my $which_address = C4::Context->preference('AutoEmailPrimaryAddress');

Is there a place missing ?

This bug was reported against version 3.0 which is no longer maintained. There are no newer bug reports for AutoEmailPrimaryAddress and bug 6302 confirms, that it's also used for overdue notices. 
I am closing this bug, please reopen if I missed something.
