Hi Eric,

Thanks again for all your help back in December! 6 months in and our 
self-checkout is still going strong. Our patrons love it, and we've had fun 
customizing the software with voice prompts and the like.

I maintain a fork of this project that fixes some of the compatibility issues 
introduced by our ILS, and I've heard some interest from other libraries who 
use RFID that want to build a self-checkout station. Are you still using RFID 
at your home library? If so, could you tell me what it would take to integrate 
that functionality into this software?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Enter user barcode
2. Enter item barcode for an item that is in transit
3. Message displays "Material status is INTRANSIT. See Librarian. "
4. User presses <return> to continue 

What is the expected output? 
User should be prompted to enter next item or quit



What do you see instead?

Item not found at your Library. Please
click the Search/Home but

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Scan more than 20 items

What is the expected output? 
Scan all items and ability print receipt when complete. 

What do you see instead?
Firefox Portable appears to freeze up. 

What version of the product are you using? 
v1.2 

On what operating system? Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.
Our library staff reports this happening quite often when a patron scans more 
than 20 items. I'm thinking it's Firefox Portable hosing up. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Restarting webserver or restarting xampp

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

PHP throwing errors.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Self Check 1.2 on Windows Server 08

Please provide any additional information below.

The self check is working but was in logs looking for an explanation on why it 
takes so long to talk to the SIP2 protocol when scanning a book and discovered 
the above problem. When looking at that line 25 it doesnt seem correct.

Maybe this belongs in another "ticket" but is it normal to scan a book and wait 
seconds before you can scan another? (SirsiDynix Symphony)

Eric,
Is it possible to have the self check go straight to the checkout screen after 
validating the patron instead of the welcome screen?  I'm not sure where the 
trigger is that changes from the welcome screen to the checkout screen.

Christopher

Hey Eric,
is your selfcheck working with only one SIP2-connection? I mean if there are 2 
simultaneous checkouts from 2 clients do I need 2 SIP2-interfaces on the 
library-management-server?

btw we are just installing a koha-library for testing and want to use the 
selfcheck together with an rfid-reader (in the future). I'll post updates on 
that.

We are hoping to add the patron's name to the printed receipt for a summer 
activity

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.042 XP

Please provide any additional information below.
 This is a temporary change that we will revert at the end of summer.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Browse to the self checkout test site http://smapeepz.dyndns.org
2. Manually entered several card numbers


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I get "There's a problem with your account.  Please see a circulation clerk"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The very latest version of open-source-self-check, Sirsi Symphony/Unicorn with 
SIP2(authentication required) running on port 6002(port tested to be open).  
Hosted on Ubuntu web server (which is successfully hosting other PHP5 based 
websites)

Please provide any additional information below.
Our Sirsi-Symphony library system has been configured with SIP2 in order to 
work with OVERDRIVE and I'm current using the same authentication credentials 
as what OVERDRIVE is using.  initially the problem was the port was blocked so 
I was getting the "out of service..." message then got the port sorted, since 
then I can't get pass the "there's a problem with your account..." response 
from the self-check.

I want to know how I can fix this or is there anything I need to do with Sirsi 
SIP2 configs to make all this work as it should.  

Thanks in advance.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. No page is displayed 
2. Same, changed sip2 ports
3. Same, changed host id to server ip

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The ready to checkout items prompt.  I see the searching for user information 
or the system is down message, depending on what I have changed.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ver 1.043 on Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.
I wanted to know if there was a web page that is necessary on the Sirsi server 
(we are running Sirsi Unicorn)?  I am having a hell of a time finding the 
necessary settings to get the same response you are getting.  I know it has to 
do with me just getting to know this software and being dumb!  But I figured I 
would ask anyway, since the only dumb questions are the ones not asked.  Please 
be patient with me!

Thanks!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Enter SIP2 server info in config.php; enter library card # length (14) in 
config.php; disable PHP errors
2. Restart web server, browse to http://localhost
3. Scan library card

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Site hangs on "Checking your account please wait."

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Open Source Self Check 1.2 on both Debian 7.7 (Iceweasel 31) and Windows 7 
(included portable Firefox and Firefox 33).

Please provide any additional information below.
I am not very familiar with PHP, so I'm not sure what the issue could be. I've 
tried all the suggestions for this issue from the other threads.

My guess is that there's some communication issue with the SIP2 server, but I'm 
not really sure where to start troubleshooting.

This is the SIP2 info my supervisor gave me:

Library Host Name: <sip2 ip address>
Library Port Number: <port>
SIP2 Server Login: <user>
SIP2 Server Password: <pass>
SIP2 Server Location: 1

And these are the variables I have changed in config.php:

$sip_hostname = '<sip2 ip address>';
$sip_port = "<sip2 port>";
$sip_login='<user>';
$sip_password='<pass>';
...
$patron_id_length=14;

I also disabled PHP errors as suggested in some of the other threads. In 
config.php:

$display_php_errors='off';

In /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini:

error_reporting = ~E_ALL

We have multiple services that successfully connect to our SIP server, so I'm 
not sure why this would be a problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Scanning an item that is already checked out.
2.Attempting a renewal

Please provide any additional information below.
I just plugged the above scanner. It's supposed to be able to read barcode 
image from cell phone. That works fine, but for some reason it causes errors in 
Firefox stating that the combine.php which uses selfcheck.css and thickbox.css 
has errors in multiple lines. 

When I plug in a standard barcode scanner, it behaves normally. Is there a line 
of code that causes the Error Console to pop up?

Thanks.

We use GMail, which requires SSL authentication, for outgoing mail. In order to 
get e-mail receipts working correctly, we had to upgrade the included PHPMailer 
module to a newer version from https://github.com/Synchro/PHPMailer. Once we 
did, we had no problems! 

Our self-check was deployed over a month ago and has been working great. This 
software has been a huge help to us, thanks so much!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Invalid library card or item barcode scans
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Messages that instruct patrons to see the "circulation clerk."
We'd like to change those message to say something like "see staff for 
assistance."

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Open Source Self Check, version 1.2 on Ubuntu linux

Please provide any additional information below.
I've found where to modify many of the response messages in our ILS (SirsiDynix 
Horizon), but we still get messages that tell patrons to see the "circulation 
clerk."  I can't find these messages or anything like them in Horizon.  Are 
they encoded in the self check software somewhere?  Any idea how I can edit 
them?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.My SIP2 Server Need Patron password 
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
There's a problem with your account. Please see a circulation clerk.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.
My SIP2 Server Need password of patron to authenticate for security reason . I 
try to add this line 
$mysip->patronpwd = '----------';  in account_check.php it work correctly. 
Please make this option in config.php

// Identify a patron
    // sip2 OF ALIST Need password of patron *** Test by tomzt
    $mysip->patron = $_POST['barcode'];
    $mysip->patronpwd = '----------'; 

PS.
My Patron ID have "-"  in Patron ID. Like this "223450973919-5". I think from 
above issue You need to redesign new keypad for support "-" in Patron ID and 
support to enter patron password.
Thank you very much for support.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Scan Book that is already out to the patron
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see a prompt asking if I would like to renew the item.
Instead it says "#This item is already checked out to you"

Then (sometimes) "#Unknown item barcode - please refer to the circulation desk."

header.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Open Source Self Check  1.2 on Ubuntu linux
ILS - Horizon


Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Patron tries to checkout item when they have an overdue (which we block)
2. The popup screen displays '1' (This is useless)
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect it to use words to tell the patron they have overdue items.  Instead 
is says '1'.  I will need to do further testing to see if this number varies 
depending on the number of overdues the patron has, so I don't know if the 
result is consistent.  Is there anything we can enhance to tell the patron they 
can't check out because an item is overdue, or better yet, can I block the 
patron from trying at all?  By the way, it is working much better with Koha 
since we ignore the renew message.  I wish it would work, but at least we can 
use the software now.  :)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

Eric,
I was wondering how you would feel about some modifications.  We love the 
checkout, but I wanted to tinker with it and add a few modifications, if you 
don't mind.  Some things I had in mind:

* Option to go straight to the blank checkout list after authenticated.
* Option to show currently checked out items.
* Improvements to work with Koha renewals.
* Enhancements for on-screen card entry.
* Masked manual input for card entry.

I've already added one modification to add a second line of instruction for 
signing in (people didn't get that they had to press enter if they were 
manually typing in their card number).

If you would like any of these modifications, please let me know how you would 
like them.  I've never collaborated on open source before, and I will only be 
doing this in my spare time, so any suggestions on what I can or cannot do to 
contribute to your project would be appreciated.  If you do not want me 
tinkering with it, I will understand.

Christopher Brannon

We've just installed this and seem to have most things working (with Horizon).  
One question that has come up is if there is a way to make it print individual 
receipts.  The library we are helping has an old RF security system, so they 
need to print individual receipts on detuner paper. 

I'm just learning php, so addressing this is currently way beyond my skill set. 
 Would appreciate even a pointer in the right direction.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Scan library barcode
2.Scan your first item which is already checked out to the patron
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expecting a renewal prompt.  Instead it looks like a regular charge, however, 
the item was renewed.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.2 on Windows in Firefox on a Koha 3.6 ILS.

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Entering a valid barcode

When entering an invalid barcode a sound and expected error message are 
displayed. However "Checking your account please wait" is displayed 
indefinitely instead of logging in the patron. The PHP errors log shows the 
following.

Hey! Great work on this self-check project. We are really excited about getting 
it up and running. We are running it with SD Horizon and it is working very 
well so far--just hoping to figure out where the printing bubble or button is, 
or whether we need to program that ourselves (highly doubtful we could do it). 
We don't yet have the email option (no postmaster) here at our system, but 
printing is highly desirable. Thanks for all your hard work, you are most 
likely destined to become a library saint.

Please provide any additional information below.
Is it possible to use open source self check for offline circulation?  Some 
self check programs from other vendors will record data when it cannot make a 
connection to the ILS.  When the ILS is back online, it then sends the recorded 
data to the ils.  
We're running Sirsi/Dynix Horizon.  Our offline circulation utility, PC 
Reliance, is lousy and we're looking for ways to work around this product. 
Thanks.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Check something out.
2.Have it e-mail the receipt.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see a single footer.  Instead I see the footer after the item and 
at the end of the receipt.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.
I was able to fix this issue by going into the pages\checkout.php file and 
remarking out line 157 (//$("#print_item_list table

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Check something out.
2.Check out something that is already checked out.  SC will prompt that it is 
already checked out.  Do you want to renew?
3.Click Yes.  

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The item should be renewed
Instead another popup comes up and says “Item unavailable due to outstanding 
holds”.  No transaction takes place.  There is no hold on the item.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
When doing a CKO, the permenant location is correct, but our states are based 
on institution id AO since we have floating collections.  I haven't found a way 
to configure that.  We would love to be able to have a single instance of SC 
running on a LAMP server, that could determine the CKO location based on IP 
ranges.  We have 20 locations with multiple self check machines at each location

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
CKO location is always set to the default WCPL location rather than the actual 
location of the CKO.

Eric,
Do you get a lot of patrons whose e-mail bounces when they e-mail the receipts? 
 We've been seeing some, but they get their notices from Koha just fine.  The 
bounce messages give the error "#< #5.6.1 smtp;554 5.6.1 Body type not 
supported by Remote Host> #SMTP#"

I'm wondering if the text needs to be plain to be more widely accepted, and if 
so, do have any recommendations on forcing to plain text?  If we can figure 
that out, I could see about adding an option to forcing all e-mails to plain 
text.  Just a thought.

Christopher

Is there a way to get the item IDs of checked items? I am attempting to add a 
renewal feature that does not require the items code to be scanned. I am trying 
to duplicate the 3M self-check renew process:

1. Patron scans card to login

2. Patron can click on the checked items button to view items already checked 
out.

3. Patron can click renew button next to item. 

4. The item is now renewed without having to physically be scanned.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Auto-printing receipts takes focus from self-check main window
2. This may be the result of using a touchscreen monitor with auto-printing

Eric,

A few months ago, you revised the print.js file used in your software so that 
receipts would print automatically after each item was scanned in our 
implementation of your self-checkout software. We have upgraded to a touch 
screen monitor for our self-check station at this point. This works well, but 
when receipts are auto-printed cursor focus is lost from the main screen. 
Patrons can checkout one item and get a receipt. If they try to scan another 
item barcode nothing happens - unless they touch the screen again to return 
cursor focus to the main screen. 

Is there a way to return focus to the main self-check window after 
auto-printing a receipt? I see the "parent.focus();" line at the end of the 
print.js file - but it is not returning focus to the main screen. Would another 
command return focus from print.js to the checkout screen?

If it is not possible to return focus after printing a receipt automatically, 
there may be another approach that would work. After each checkout, we could 
display a window directing patrons to insert receipts into the item just 
checked out. The window could have one button to "Checkout Another Item" and 
one button to "End Checkout Session." Pressing either button would grab focus 
from the auto-print child window - and let patrons choose what to do next. 

If we need to add a window with the action buttons described above, is there 
another file we could use as a starting point? Unfortunately, I do not know 
anything about javascript. It would be a great help if you could point me in 
the right direction. Thank you for any help you can provide.

Please provide any additional information below.
Eric,

Town & Country PL loves your self-check software. Now that they have been using 
it for awhile, they are interested in tweaking the receipt content. Is it 
possible to change the content of the receipt to print the following lines in 
the following order:

Line 1: Self-Checkout Receipt
Line 2: Town & Country Public Library
Line 3: [title of checkout]
Line 4: [item ID]
Line 5: [due date of checkout]
Line 6: Renew your items online:
Line 7: [OPAC URL]

I see that the print.js file defines receipt content but it is unclear to me 
where each of the above item elements reside. Can these elements be changed? 
Thank you for your help; have a good day.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Try to D/L the zip 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I am trying to connect to a SIP2 on a different computer using the IP 
address
2. I use the "responses.php" to test the connection

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I get the message:
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function socket_create() in 
C:\Inetpub\opensource_selfcheck\includes\sip2.php on line 694 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.0.0.4

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
We recently installed your self-checkout application and it is working without 
significant issues. However, instead of having buttons displayed onscreen to 
print receipts, we would like receipts printed automatically for each 
successful item checkout. Can you offer any suggestions for making such a 
change to your code?

Our self-check receipts will be printed on paper that blocks security tags 
beneath the date due card pocket. Our patrons will need to have a receipt for 
each self-checkout - if a receipt is not in a book pocket, the item will set 
off our security system. Given our setup, we always want receipts printed for 
self-chekouts. 

What part of your code should we look at to manage such a change? Although we 
are novices at this, your work has encouraged us to learn more. Thank you for 
your help; have a good day.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
We are using open-source-self-check v1.043 on Windows XP.

Our org is in the nasty habit of adding hoops for patrons to jump through to 
use self-checkout.  Namely:  we require a PIN to use self-checkout.

Any chance of seeing this built into authentication?
Using the latest version as of today...

Just searching through my options...looking to dump 3M's cost like hot tar on a 
new highway.  THANKS!

I simply added the line

$allow_print_receipts=false; 

to config.php and then wrapped the print <td> in pages/checkout.php with

<?php if($allow_print_receipts){?>
<td>.....</td>
<?php } ?>

It seems to work, and may be helpful to others if it could be added to the 
distributed source.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use touch screen/on screen keypad to enter library card.
2. See library card number on screen!

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see a mask.  Instead I see the entire library card number.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.2 on Windows 7

Please provide any additional information below.

I modified the keypad_screen cell to contain a textbox that can be natively 
masked:

<td colspan="4" class="keypad_screen">
<form>
<input type="password" name="barcode" class="keypad_display"><br>
</form>
</td>

I updated the scripts to point to this textbox instead of the cell itself.

<script type="text/javascript">
//keypad functions
function show_keypad(){
tb_remove();
tb_show($('#keypad_container').html());
var keypad_key=$('#prompt .keypad div');
keypad_key.click(function (){
if (typeof $(this).data('val')!= 'undefined'){
var keypad_display=$('#prompt .keypad_display');
if (keypad_display.val().length<19){
keypad_display.val(keypad_display.val() + $(this).data('val'));
}
}
});
}

function delete_keypad_entry(){
var keypad_display=$('#prompt .keypad_display').val();
var keypad_length=keypad_display.length-1;
keypad_newdisplay=keypad_display.substr(0,keypad_length);
$('#prompt .keypad_display').val(keypad_newdisplay);
}
</script>

And last, I updated selfcheck.css to format the textbox so it looks nice:

.keypad_display {
font-size:1em;
font-weight:bold;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
background-color: #F0F0F0;
}

Works like a charm.  :)
