NEWS feature in catalog – please don’t delete news items
Hi! We are trying to use the NEWS feature in Koha more to report on known issues and catalog problems that are being investigated. One such issue, the problem of old notices being delivered to patrons when a valid e-mail address is added to their borrower account, was recently added as a NEWS item. And just as quickly disappeared. Twice.
We think that someone is clicking the Delete link under the news story. Unfortunately, that deletes the NEWS item, permanently.
We’ve adjusted the permissions a bit to stop that from happening. NEKLS would like to have control of how long the message remains visible to users (on some occasions, we may have NEWS items on the OPAC as well as in the Staff Interface). Any attempt to delete a NEWS item should now result in an “Unauthorized User” message, but we would also ask that you do not click on the Edit or Delete or New links at the bottom of the News item. Thanks for your cooperation.
