Description Séverine Queune 2020-11-13 11:51:20 UTC
It could be great if, on printed slips, we could display an image of the barcode. Especially useful when a barcode is filled in Koha but not physically present on the book (lost, etc.) or just unreadable because of its condition.

We do this now, although it may take some trial and error depending on the kind of barcode you have. From our notice template:

<img src="/cgi-bin/koha/svc/barcode?barcode=*[% item.barcode %]*&type=Code39" />

It would definitely be useful to make the process easier but I'm not sure what it would look like.

Thanks Leonard for this information, I completely ignored that tip !
Should I leave the ticket 'New' then ?

Hi Severine, does Owen's tip work for you or is there a feature missing that we should add?
Comment 4 Katrin Fischer 2023-01-26 22:13:44 UTC
I believe we can safely close this now especially with the new bug 29821:

/cgi-bin/koha/labels/barcode-print.pl

This new tool on the cataloguing start page allows you to generate the code to add to the notices in order to display the barcode and preview the result.
