C4::Members - Perl Module containing convenience functions for member handling
use C4::Members;
This module contains routines for adding, modifying and deleting members/patrons/borrowers
($count, $borrowers) = &SearchMember($searchstring, $type,$category_type,$filter,$showallbranches);
Looks up patrons (borrowers) by name.
BUGFIX 499: $type is now used to determine type of search. if $type is "simple", search is performed on the first letter of the surname only.
$category_type is used to get a specified type of user. (mainly adults when creating a child.)
$searchstring is a space-separated list of search terms. Each term must match the beginning a borrower's surname, first name, or other name.
$filter is assumed to be a list of elements to filter results on
$showallbranches is used in IndependantBranches Context to display all branches results.
&SearchMember returns a two-element list. $borrowers is a reference-to-array; each element is a reference-to-hash, whose keys are the fields of the borrowers table in the Koha database. $count is the number of elements in $borrowers.
($borrower, $flags) = &GetMemberDetails($borrowernumber, $cardnumber);
Looks up a patron and returns information about him or her. If $borrowernumber is true (nonzero), &GetMemberDetails looks up the borrower by number; otherwise, it looks up the borrower by card number.
$borrower is a reference-to-hash whose keys are the fields of the borrowers table in the Koha database. In addition, $borrower->{flags} is a hash giving more detailed information about the patron. Its keys act as flags :
if $borrower->{flags}->{LOST} {
# Patron's card was reported lost
}
Each flag has a message key, giving a human-readable explanation of the flag. If the state of a flag means that the patron should not be allowed to borrow any more books, then it will have a noissues key with a true value.
The possible flags are:
$flags->{ODUES}{itemlist} is a reference-to-array listing the overdue items. Its elements are references-to-hash, each describing an overdue item. The keys are selected fields from the issues, biblio, biblioitems, and items tables of the Koha database.
$flags->{ODUES}{itemlist} is a string giving a text listing of the overdue items, one per line.
$flags->{WAITING}{itemlist} is a reference-to-array listing the available items. Each element is a reference-to-hash whose keys are fields from the reserves table of the Koha database.

$borrower = &GetMember($information, $type);
Looks up information about a patron (borrower) by either card number ,firstname, or borrower number, depending on $type value. If $type == 'cardnumber', &GetBorrower searches by cardnumber then by firstname if not found in cardnumber; otherwise, it searches by borrowernumber.
&GetBorrower returns a reference-to-hash whose keys are the fields of the borrowers table in the Koha database.
($borrowed, $due, $fine) = &GetMemberIssuesAndFines($borrowernumber);
Returns aggregate data about items borrowed by the patron with the given borrowernumber.
&GetMemberIssuesAndFines returns a three-element array. $borrowed is the number of books the patron currently has borrowed. $due is the number of overdue items the patron currently has borrowed. $fine is the total fine currently due by the borrower.
&ModMember($borrowernumber);
Modify borrower's data. All date fields should ALREADY be in ISO format.
$borrowernumber = &AddMember(%borrower);
insert new borrower into table Returns the borrowernumber
Warning: The caller is responsible for locking the members table in write mode, to avoid database corruption.
($num_children, $children_arrayref) = &GetGuarantees($parent_borrno);
$child0_cardno = $children_arrayref->[0]{"cardnumber"};
$child0_borrno = $children_arrayref->[0]{"borrowernumber"};
&GetGuarantees takes a borrower number (e.g., that of a patron with children) and looks up the borrowers who are guaranteed by that borrower (i.e., the patron's children).
&GetGuarantees returns two values: an integer giving the number of borrowers guaranteed by $parent_borrno, and a reference to an array of references to hash, which gives the actual results.
&UpdateGuarantees($parent_borrno);
&UpdateGuarantees borrower data for an adulte and updates all the guarantees with the modified information
($count, $issues) = &GetPendingIssues($borrowernumber);
Looks up what the patron with the given borrowernumber has borrowed.
&GetPendingIssues returns a two-element array. $issues is a reference-to-array, where each element is a reference-to-hash; the keys are the fields from the issues, biblio, and items tables in the Koha database. $count is the number of elements in $issues.
($count, $issues) = &GetAllIssues($borrowernumber, $sortkey, $limit);
Looks up what the patron with the given borrowernumber has borrowed, and sorts the results.
$sortkey is the name of a field on which to sort the results. This should be the name of a field in the issues, biblio, biblioitems, or items table in the Koha database.
$limit is the maximum number of results to return.
&GetAllIssues returns a two-element array. $issues is a reference-to-array, where each element is a reference-to-hash; the keys are the fields from the issues, biblio, biblioitems, and items tables of the Koha database. $count is the number of elements in $issues
($total, $acctlines, $count) = &GetMemberAccountRecords($borrowernumber);
Looks up accounting data for the patron with the given borrowernumber.
&GetMemberAccountRecords returns a three-element array. $acctlines is a reference-to-array, where each element is a reference-to-hash; the keys are the fields of the accountlines table in the Koha database. $count is the number of elements in $acctlines. $total is the total amount outstanding for all of the account lines.
($count, $acctlines, $total) = &GetBorNotifyAcctRecord($params,$notifyid);
Looks up accounting data for the patron with the given borrowernumber per file number.
(FIXME - I'm not at all sure what this is about.)
