In reply to: [WebLibrarian] No dashboard for user with role librarianWhat happens when you replace the ‘my-account’ phrase in the location field to ‘wp-admin’, eg go to the url ‘http://www.gamefe.co.uk/wp-admin/’ once you have logged in as the wptester user?

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] No dashboard for user with role librarianWhat is this ‘My Account’ page? This is NOT standard WordPress. I am guessing you have some plugin installed that implements the ‘My Account’ page. Neither of these is the standard WordPress Dashboard either (even the admin one), at least from what I can tell from the thumbnails (the image is too big for me to download right now with my dialup connection — I will look at it tomorrow when I am somewhere with high speed internet access).

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] 403 Error on UpdateThis sounds like a security weirdness. Check with your system admin. You really should not set file perms to 777!

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] No dashboard for user with role librarianWhen you say you get no dashboard, what do you get instead? The front end? A blank screen? Something else? Can you post a screen shot somewhere?
Also: what version of WordPress? What webserver software (Apache, IIS, something else?) and its version? What version of PHP? What is the operating system of the *server* (Linux [what distro/version], MS-Windows, MacOSX, *BSD).

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] French translation for this pluginYes, it is translation ready. There is already an Italian translation. You should talk to the guy who did the Italian translation. His WP profile is here: https://profiles.wordpress.org/novalore

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] Can't check out itemThe sequence is:
find and select book
find and select patron
checkoutDid you do *all* of that?
*Alternitively*
find and select patron
scan book barcode (or *manually* enter it)
checkoutDoes the item (book) have a valid type with an associated loan period?
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [WebLibrarian] Can't check out itemYou need to find/select the book first, then select the patron. It is a bit of a quirk.
OR if you know the book’s bar code or have a bar code scanner, you can type or scan the book’s bar code in the entry next to the checkout button.
The system *presumes* items have barcodes and the cirulation desk has a bar code scanner available. By pre-selecting the book, the bar code field is pre-loaded with the book’s bar code — finding and looking up a patron does not affect that.

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] how to insert different search shortcodeIt would require modification of the code.

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] circulation type2. Or is it possible to set the loan period to be zero?
3. How can i increase the number of characters allowed in the circulation type?
This would require modification of the code, mostly in database_code.php in the includes folder.
4. Is there anyway I can set an notification to the librarian when
– someone has overdue books
– someone has held a bookThis would also require modification of the code.

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] Thank you, very muchDocumentaion is available here: http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/weblibrarian/assets/user_manual/user_manual.pdf.
There is a ‘test site’ up at http://library.deepsoft.com/.
The plugin is available from the Word Press plugin repository. I am still fixing bugs, but not developing new features at this time. It is Open Source.

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] Automatic CheckoutNo there is no code for ‘self checkout’.

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] Automatically Add (New) Users as PatronsThere isn’t an automated way to create a patron record. Since you are not using the front-end features, you are pretty much stuck with having your state manualy create patrons. This can be done as part of the first-time checkout process on an as needed basis.

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] Change zipcode requirements in library patron- To change the patron address fields, you need to edit the field defs in includes/database_code.php — all of the field definitions are near the beginning. The code involved in defining and checking the forms fields is in includes/WEBLIB_Patrons_Admin.php.
- There are various plugins that provide a login widget. There is a built in widget, but it contains extra admin-related links. I use one called Login-Logout by webvitaly on one of the sites I manage. There are a number of these admin/meta replacement plugins available.
- To change this, you need to edit the code in includes/short_codes.php (front end) and includes/WEBLIB_Circulation_Admin.php (back end).

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] URL Not working on ThumbnailI’m not really sure how to do that. I tried to change the form action to POST, but that does not work (I am not sure why).

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] error in database_code.phpI have no plans to add any new features.
