There is no function to do that. The best you can do is get a list of checked out items on the circulation desk page.

The plugin is set up to link patrons with WordPress “users”. You can create (or ask patrons to create) a WordPress user login. By default a WordPress user has no access beyond entering comments to pages and posts — just leave the “role” as “subscriber”. The WordPress user database includes the user’s E-Mail address (this is why I did not include the E-Mail address in the patron database). Also, if the patron has a WordPress login, the patron can place holds on books through the library’s website, as well as check on due dates and renew items on-line.

I don’t think the “extraname” is going to be large enough for an E-Mail address. There aren’t any partitular character restrictions, but it is not a large field, since generally middle names are either short, can be abbreviated or are just an initial.

caezrs:

I cannot replicate your problem on my server(server os CentOS 6, PHP 7.1, WP 5.2.2, Weblibrarian 3.5.5).

What server os are you using? What version?
What version of PHP, WordPress, and Weblibrarian do you have installed on your server? Does the browser you are using support JavaScript? Is JavaScript enabled? Are Cookies enabled?

Just in front of the quote mark in “barcode”. Here is an hexdump of a copy-paste I did to MicroEmacs. I don’t know if this was a copy-paste snafu or not:

I don’t think it matters if things are quoted, but I suspect your problem has something to do with the quote marks or maybe there is an extra character in the file. All I can suggest it to examine the file with a dumb text editor. If the quotes and commas are proper ASCII and there are no extrainious characters (partitularly non-printable ones), it should work. In the message with many “Undefined column:” messages, there is a strange character. I don’t know if that was a copy-paste snafu or something else.

You must have either used a unique barcode or else a unique barcode was generated.

Every item in the database *must* have a *unique* barcode. Even if you have duplicate titles.

The quotes and commas *must* be ASCII. It is possible for *some* of the fields to have UTF-8 (eg random text fields: titles, authors, keywords, subject, description), but the barcodes have to be ASCII.

I just used cat (Linux command line program). I use a MicroEmacs under Linux:

Summary : JASSPA MicroEmacs Console
Description :
The console version of JASSPA MircoEmacs an enhanced version of Daniel
Lawrence’s original MicroEmacs 3.8. It has a small memory and disk footprint
while still providing most of the useful Emacs functionality. MicroEmacs includes
an integrated spell-checker, macro language, major modes for most languages,
color syntax highlighting in X and console modes, online help, file browser,
and much more!

(I don’t know if there is a MS-Windows version — I’ve only ever used it under
Linux.)

Well these all have UTF-8 quote characters (in my E-Mail). I don’t know
if this is Notepad or your mail client doing that. I’m *guessing* it is
Notepad *or* Excel, since the WebLibrarian is compaining and it does not add
its own quote marks in its messages. *DON’T* use UTF-8 quote characters, use
*ASCII* quote characters. Best not to use quote characters, unless you need
to. And then make sure they are *ASCII* quote characters.

I just uploaded your test CSV file into my WebLibrarian test site and it uploaded just fine. I just copied and pasted from my E-Mail. I wonder if there is a “funny” character in your file.

The best way to do this is to create a fork and code in the fields, etc.

I found a theme named Avata, and the request buttom works just fine with it (using the current version of WebLibrarian).

I can’t seem to find the Avada WordPress Theme to test with. Where is it?

Have you udated to the latest version of WebLibrarian? I am pretty sure that should fix it.

Ok, it looks like my code is not queuing up a load of jQuery and I have been getting away with that becuase most themes are already loading jQuery. Thedefault theme does not seem to load jQuery…

I just pushed a new version which should load jQuery if it not otherwise being loaded.
