Re: [Emilda] Barcode and PDF generation fails

[Wolfgang P. <wol...@iv...>]

sorry to come up late -  ready for fighting in community in oct, not aug 
as i intended ...
( as i see david is _very_ active for the sake of all the project - 
thank you a lot !!! )

regarding barcodes i will have to use a bulk print system using  
_kbarcode_  since ther will be no mature system in 1.2 alas ...
SO
for BOOKS it would be nice to have added :

- table "books" : field "barcode_printed tynint unsigned NOT NULL 
default '0' "
- some assurance that such a field won't interfere with the system
- field established in "deleted_books" accordingly

i do not think this will be a _too_big_ enhancement going into 1.2 :-)

[[ off topic :

for USERS we will have some sort of activation system with :

- preprinted user-cards showing up code39 -c "card_id"
- preprinted labels with am autogenerated unique activation-barcode
  which links to external data which will be fed into
  emilda's user/group tables every year

mechanism :

- users are deactivated at the end of each (school-) year
- at the beginning of the year all the data of all users (of all 
classes) will be
  - fed into some db-space with primary key "activation-id" for every 
(potential) user
  - labels are printed containing name, year,class,barcode /w activation-id
     and deposited ready for use of the library-administrator
- if an "old" user wants to use the library
  - he will pesent his "old" id-card and receive a "new" label affixed 
on the card
  - library-administrator will start some little gui, read activation-id 
and card-id
    this utility will tweak emilda's databases, voila, user is able to 
use the library for 1 more year
- same for a new user which will receive his/her "new" id-card

if you want to share your thougts about such a system you are welcome.
