Circulation in progress

• Users management:
  • Patrons fixtures have been extended with actual circulation transactions, such as check out and pending request, and authentication data. Therefore, these patrons are ready for testing actions.
  • Logged-in patrons can display their profile including personal data, list of borrowed and pending documents.
• Data:
  • A global API for all resources (records) is now available (class IlsRecords and RecordWithElements).
  • Circulation transactions are logged into a postgres table, enabling loan history.
  • Logged patrons can make requests on items, except if the item is missing or if the item is already requested/loaned by the patron.
  • When a patron request an item, a pick up location must be selected in a drop down menu.
  • Requested items are marked as such in the document detailed view (On loan requested or requested).
  • If there's several request on the same item, the logged-in patron can see its rank in the pending list.
• Circulation:
  • The reroils-circulation-ui enables:
    • patron basic information display, with borrowed item and due dates,
    • check out (already in v.0.1.0a11),
    • in check out mode, default actions are guessed by the system, but can be modified by the librarian before validation,
    • check-in,
    • check-in missing item (when found again),
    • patron basic information display, with borrowed item and due dates.
• Documentation: the public demo help has been moved to the reroils-app GitHub's wiki.

First check out and minimal consortia implementation

• Users management:
  • Now we have patron's accounts, with some fixtures.
  • There's a view for patrons.
  • Patrons can be searched.
  • The librarian@rero.ch account is able to create a patron's account.
  • The patron's account is linked to a user's account through the email.
• Data:
  • The reroils-data module has been rewrited to get separated submodules for each type of record (documents, items, organisations, members, locations, patrons).
  • Institutions, libraries and locations are now organisations, members and locations.
  • Links now exists between:
    • organisations, members and locations,
    • patrons and users,
    • patrons and items when a patron borrowed an item,
    • items and locations.
      Links between documents and items were already implemented.
  • The librarian@rero.ch account can, from the document detailed view, add items and link them to:
    • documents,
    • locations.
  • When an item is created or edited, the barcode is checked in order to assure uniqueness.
  • All record types (document, item, organisation, member, location, patron) can be created, edited and deleted.
• Circulation:
  • Now there a specific view for circulation (an angular application).
  • The librarian@rero.ch account can use it to lend items to a patron.
  • The same view should be used to realize check-ins and manual renewals in the future (to be tested).

The public demo is still on ils.test.rero.ch.

Minimal consortium implementation

• Project:
  • Changes now commited directly on github.
  • Minimal contribution information available.
• Fixtures:
  • Development version of the populate.sh script generates less items, in order to streamline the dev. environment.
  • There are also fixtures for institutions, libraries and locations.
• Editor:
  • The editor is now more generic and can be used for all types of objects (bibliographic records, institutions records).
  • Institutions, libraries and locations can be created, edited and deleted by the librarian user.
  • There's a search view for those same types of documents.
• Users management:
  • Visitors are able to create a user account, confirm their email address, reset their password.
