I am not opposed to this, but wondering if a link to a PDF wouldn't work better as a lot of people don't like 'big' emails or unexpected attachements. I can appreciate your comment, Katrin, re: evading big e-mails or attachments. I am also fine with a link to a pdf instead of the document itself. The document could either be hosted on our domain, in Google Drive or maybe even Dropbox in a public folder. If that is the case, I guess it is just a matter of making a local decision to edit the "Account Details Template - DEFAULT" text. Wow, that was easy. But if I wanted to tinker... Where should I begin? What would it take to create this kind of new functionality of adding documents as attachments to default messaging? At what level would this change need to be made? Thank you. Jesse Hm, I think a first question would be "where to store it". Some of our current features store uploaded files in the database, the new featurew for adding files to bibliographic records stores in the file systems and requires a bit of additional setup. Both have advantages and disadvantages. But I guess a starting point could be to look at other features and how they do it. For the attachements... we do send attachements in case of overdues for users with no email addresses. Maybe drop by IRC to pick some brains or try on the mailing list for additional pointers. I think this was solved with including a link for now - I think this will work well unless you want to send a PDF with content generated specifically for a transaction/patron. Moving WONTFIX for now. |
