Fast add creation screenshot

Sponsored by Middletown Township Public Library, Middletown, NJ, USA.

At circulation desk, if a barcode is scanned that is not in the catalog, add an option to create a "fast add" bib record.  Circ staff can fill in the basics and check the item out; the item is flagged to be routed to cataloging upon return for proper record creation.

Feature is controlled by a granular permission (fast_add)which is part of a separate enhancement.

The fix for this bug (in ptfs-harley) can be pulled from the public git repository at http://github.com/Koha-PTFS, branch http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3495.

Note:  Fast add functionality has already been added into current head (under Circ, Fast Cataloging), but that does not allow creation of a fast add record at checkout.  This feature does; it could be integrated to use the existing fast add framework and functionality, but the new point-of-checkout option (where the circ staff creates the record and then continues the checkout automatically).

Comment 3 Paul Poulain 2011-02-17 09:37:42 UTC
I think there's something wrong : 
<!-- TMPL_IF NAME="fast_cataloging" --> (line 304 of circulation.tmpl) 
is never set, so the link never appears. I think the line 305 : 
	        <!-- TMPL_IF NAME="CAN_user_editcatalogue_fast_cataloging" -->
is enough : show the link if the librarian has the permission

I tried to test this on current master with a superlibrarian user and all permissions set.

I entered an unknown barcode in circulation and got a yellow message box with an empty pull down. (see screenshot)

follow-up patch

The link to 'Fast cataloging' was never shown. Attached patch fixes this problem.

About the empty pull down on the screenshot:
If you turn off system preference memberofinstitution the blank pull down menu vanishes. I don't understand what the code there about organisations is supposed to do. Perhaps someone else can take a look at that.

Pushed, please test and mark resolved
Comment 8 Jane Wagner 2011-06-30 17:19:08 UTC
The fast cataloging link now shows when you enter an invalid barcode at checkout, but the current code does not incorporate the original patch's final step of checking the newly-created item out to the user.
