*** Bug 24671 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Agreed! This is also an issue if a library wants to do something like mark themselves closed on Sundays over the summer. It'd be great to be able to do that as a holiday repeating on the same day of the week within a range. Or, at the very least, we should somehow make it clear that those date ranges are not used with repeating holidays. Right now, it's a bit of a trap. I agree. Our consortium has multiple libraries that change their hours and days open over the summer, and it's difficult to make the change. The fact that any new holiday created does display the "To date" even if it's not a range holiday makes it confusing for libraries when that option doesn't work. It looks like Bug 17015, a complete overhaul for the Koha calendar, might fix this problem if it gets pushed. https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17015 Agreed. It makes it hard to make changes to the schedule in advance, because it will affect everything in the past and not at the "start date" you are clicking on. *** Bug 39424 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The way this currently works doesn't make a lot of sense. When you add a weekly repeatable holiday, it gives you an option to choose a start and end date, but it doesn't actually apply those. We are going to need to begin closing our library on Sundays in January, but we will be open on Sundays until the end of the year. So if a patron checks out an item in December on a Sunday, they will be given a Sunday due date. But if we add the repeating holiday in December, it will apply to the days in December we are still open. Since we have some items with a 1 week renewal period and others with 3 weeks, this doesn't work for us.

Not for the weekly ones. This could be better in the GUI, but works as currently intended. Just saying it's not quite a bug, but a missing feature - still quite needed. |
