Hi Rick, with questions like this that could be about configuration, it's good to hit the mailing list first as many more people will be reading your problem there and be able to offer help from their experience. I'll leave this open as a bug, but if you figure out a solution, please remember to close it. I've been experiencing some problems with patron cards in an older version of Koha, and I think maybe our problems are linked. It's difficult to explain. With the Template, there is Page height/width and Card height/width. When I am creating a Layout, I expect the top of my Y axis to be the top of the Card height. However, the top of my Y axis seems to actually be the top of my Page height (minus the top page margin). Yet, when the label batch is exported, the layout seems relative to the Card and not the Page. I'm specifying a Lower left Y coordinate of 274mm but that's actually placing the text at the Lower left Y coordinate of about 44mm on the card. I'm sure my explanation makes no sense, but basically... I think there is something very wrong with the patron card creator - at least when using SI Millimeters for both the Template and Layout... If you set all your X/Y coordinates to 0 and then move incrementally from there, I think you'll see what I mean. Haven't looked at the code yet myself as I have a number of other priorities. Plus I have a feeling that the fix will actually break a lot of existing layouts... Actually, after I changed my Images data that's caused the X/Y axis for my Text fields to completely change. I'd say there's a number of factors regarding units that are wrong here...

Just FTR: 1. A lot of code has run off of the keyboard since I wrote this stuff over nine years ago, so there may be changes I'm unaware of and resulting bugs. 2. There may indeed be something buggy about the unit conversion code that I originally wrote. The library I did the work for uses Imperial units and that was my focus. I would definitely check there first. Everything is converted to post script points. 3. The fundamental coordinate system is taken from the PDF ISO 32000-1 standard published by Adobe and has its origin at the lower left corner of the page. In other terms, the page is the first quadrant of the Cartesian Coordinate system. I'd look at the unit conversion code first to see if there's something going on there. Beyond that, I'm not sure what to suggest as it still works in the library here.

I don't have a lot of libraries using patron cards, especially with images, so not too much of a priority over here. |
