The overdue with fines report contains email links with a subject line: Overdue: <title> The "Overdue" is not translatable.
*** Bug 8468 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I wonder if these links are ever used? Would be possible to instead generate a one-time notice?
Hi Owen, an option so send a real mail from there using a notice template would certainly be much better!
They are used in at least one library i know of. I think it makes sense to have this functionnality in a report that lists overdues. Even though i agree most libraries will choose to automate sending overdue notices. Some are small enough and would rather take care of it 100% manually, other might want to be able to send another notice, manually in some cases.
Actually there used to be, i've seen it in libraries using an older version, a 'MANUAL_ODUE' notice, which would be sent from here.
Hi Gaetan, yes, and we have been trying to make it work in the past - see bug 4990. Seems it was working in 2.2, then it got reintegrated in 3.0.x, while development was already done for 3.2. There never was a working patch for 3.2 (master back then), so the the feature got lost again after updating from 3.0.x.
This is still valid. I think generating manual overdue emails could maybe be dealt with on bug 4990 and only fix the wrong string here for now.
