Koha plugin - Incremental Pattern Barcode generator

Deprecated in favor of

https://github.com/Hypernova-Oy/koha-plugin-valuebuilder

This plugin makes cataloguing an item painless. It will make Koha request a 'fresh' barcode on saving the item.

It will only work if the field is not populated already.

It allows you to define incremental barcodes with a prefix and a suffix.

Originally developed by Theke Solutions, forked and extended by Hypernova Oy.

Install

Download the latest .kpz file from the Project / Releases page

Configuration

System preference "autoBarcode" must be "not generated automatically." (FIXME)

1. Go to staff client /cgi-bin/koha/plugins/plugins-home.pl
2. Click Actions -> Configure
3. Set pattern, e.g. PRE000000000SUF where "PRE" is desired prefix, "SUF" is desired SUF, and 000000000000 represents the amount of numbers your barcode has (length of barcode excluding prefix and suffix).

Known issues

Suffix does not work when adding multiple copies of an item. Thus we do not recommend using suffix.
