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.
$borrowers_result_array_ref = &Search($filter,$orderby, $limit, $columns_out, $search_on_fields,$searchtype);
Looks up patrons (borrowers) on filter.
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.)
$filter can be - a space-separated list of search terms. Implicit AND is done on them - a hash ref containing fieldnames associated with queried value - an array ref combining the two previous elements Implicit OR is done between each array element
$orderby is an arrayref of hashref. Contains the name of the field and 0 or 1 depending if order is ascending or descending
$limit is there to allow limiting number of results returned
&columns_out is an array ref to the fieldnames you want to see in the result list
&search_on_fields is an array ref to the fieldnames you want to limit search on when you are using string search
&searchtype is a string telling the type of search you want todo : start_with, exact or contains are allowed
($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);
Retrieve the first patron record meeting on criteria listed in the %information hash, which should contain one or more pairs of borrowers column names and values, e.g.,
$borrower = GetMember(borrowernumber => id);
&GetBorrower returns a reference-to-hash whose keys are the fields of the borrowers table in the Koha database.
FIXME: GetMember() is used throughout the code as a lookup on a unique key such as the borrowernumber, but this meaning is not enforced in the routine itself.
my ($block_status, $count) = IsMemberBlocked( $borrowernumber );
Returns whether a patron has overdue items that may result in a block or whether the patron has active fine days that would block circulation privileges.
$block_status can have the following values:
1 if the patron has outstanding fine days, in which case $count is the number of them
-1 if the patron has overdue items, in which case $count is the number of them
0 if the patron has no overdue items or outstanding fine days, in which case $count is 0
Outstanding fine days are checked before current overdue items are.
FIXME: this needs to be split into two functions; a potential block based on the number of current overdue items could be orthogonal to a block based on whether the patron has any fine days accrued.
($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.

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 adult and updates all the guarantees with the modified information
my $issues = &GetPendingIssues($borrowernumber);
Looks up what the patron with the given borrowernumber has borrowed.

$issues = &GetAllIssues($borrowernumber, $sortkey, $limit);
Looks up what the patron with the given borrowernumber has borrowed, and sorts the results.

$limit is the maximum number of results to return.
&GetAllIssues an arrayref, $issues, of hashrefs, the keys of which are the fields from the issues, biblio, biblioitems, and items tables of the Koha database.
($total, $acctlines, $count) = &GetMemberAccountRecords($borrowernumber);

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.)
&GetBorNotifyAcctRecord 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.
