Description Kelly McElligott 2017-08-11 13:00:14 UTC
The seasonal pattern for a 2x a year frequency does not work as expected. When using a serial that is a Summer & Winter frequency.  If starting the serial with the Summer Issue, setting the last value and inner counter will only default to a Spring start in the test pattern.  Setting the last value as any season, will still default to a spring start to the test pattern.  The test pattern will adjust after the first two issues- Spring Fall, Summer, Winter, Summer, Winter, etc - but Koha insists on starting this pattern with Spring.

Hi Kelly,

I think I figured it out and have attached a screenshot for my pattern.

I think the important bits are:
- Set the starting season: begins with = 1 = Summer (0 = Spring)
- Edit the advanced pattern
  - Add 2
  - Set back to 1 = Summer

If it's ok we could switch this to a bug for the manual (add it there as an example maybe?)

This is awesome.  I would agree that a tutorial on using the Season pattern in the manual would be great!

I added the pattern to https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Serial_Pattern_Library instead of the manual
