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) = &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 }
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.
See patronflags for more details.
$borrower->{authflags}
is a hash giving more detailed information about the top-level permissions flags set for the borrower. For example, if a user has the "editcatalogue" permission, $borrower->{authflags}->{editcatalogue}
will exist and have the value "1".
$flags = &patronflags($patron); This function is not exported. The following will be set where applicable: $flags->{CHARGES}->{amount} Amount of debt $flags->{CHARGES}->{noissues} Set if debt amount >$5.00 (or syspref noissuescharge) $flags->{CHARGES}->{message} Message -- deprecated $flags->{CREDITS}->{amount} Amount of credit $flags->{CREDITS}->{message} Message -- deprecated $flags->{ GNA } Patron has no valid address $flags->{ GNA }->{noissues} Set for each GNA $flags->{ GNA }->{message} "Borrower has no valid address" -- deprecated $flags->{ LOST } Patron's card reported lost $flags->{ LOST }->{noissues} Set for each LOST $flags->{ LOST }->{message} Message -- deprecated $flags->{DBARRED} Set if patron debarred, no access $flags->{DBARRED}->{noissues} Set for each DBARRED $flags->{DBARRED}->{message} Message -- deprecated $flags->{ NOTES } $flags->{ NOTES }->{message} The note itself. NOT deprecated $flags->{ ODUES } Set if patron has overdue books. $flags->{ ODUES }->{message} "Yes" -- deprecated $flags->{ ODUES }->{itemlist} ref-to-array: list of overdue books $flags->{ ODUES }->{itemlisttext} Text list of overdue items -- deprecated $flags->{WAITING} Set if any of patron's reserves are available $flags->{WAITING}->{message} Message -- deprecated $flags->{WAITING}->{itemlist} ref-to-array: list of available items
$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}->{itemlisttext}
is a string giving a text listing of the overdue items, one per line. Deprecated.
$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.
All the "message" fields that include language generated in this function are deprecated, because such strings belong properly in the display layer.
The "message" field that comes from the DB is OK.
$borrower = &GetMember($information, $type);
Looks up information about a patron (borrower) by either card number ,firstname, or borrower number, depending on $type value. If $type
== 'cardnumber', &GetBorrower
searches by cardnumber then by firstname if not found in cardnumber; otherwise, it searches by borrowernumber.
&GetBorrower
returns a reference-to-hash whose keys are the fields of the borrowers
table in the Koha database.
($overdue_count, $issue_count, $total_fines) = &GetMemberIssuesAndFines($borrowernumber);
Returns aggregate data about items borrowed by the patron with the given borrowernumber.
&GetMemberIssuesAndFines
returns a three-element array. $overdue_count
is the number of overdue items the patron currently has borrowed. $issue_count
is the number of books the patron currently has borrowed. $total_fines
is the total fine currently due by the borrower.
my $success = ModMember(borrowernumber => $borrowernumber, [ field => value ]... );

$borrowernumber = &AddMember(%borrower);
insert new borrower into table Returns the borrowernumber
Warning: The caller is responsible for locking the members table in write mode, to avoid database corruption.
($num_children, $children_arrayref) = &GetGuarantees($parent_borrno); $child0_cardno = $children_arrayref->[0]{"cardnumber"}; $child0_borrno = $children_arrayref->[0]{"borrowernumber"};
&GetGuarantees
