the

awesome
awesome.
Truly,
what

they
terrific
videos
about
things
to
do
in
quahog
ways
to
break
it,
ways
to
make
it
better
ways
to
have
fun,
and
these
videos,
of
course,
are
sponsored
by
koha
us
and
if
you
want
to
find
them,
all
you
have
to
do
is
go
to
cohaba,
dash,
us.org
and
click
on,
learn
from
koha
us
and
there's
a
link
here
that
says:
koha
us
videos
that'll.
Take
you
to
this
will
be.
A
This
will
be
our
16th
video
coming
up
so
and
you
can
find
us
on
youtube
and
if
you
go
to
the
playlist
they're
there
and
today
we're
going
to
be
using
the
koha
us
demo,
which
is
you
can
find
this
at
demo.coha
dash
us.org
and
it's
hosted
by
bywater
solutions.
They've
set
up
a
demonstration
site
for
us
to
use
and
lizette's
going
to
be
using
that
to
show
us
how
to
do
things
with
template
toolkit
and
you
can.
A
A
B
A
Actually,
a
wiki
on
the
koha
community,
wiki
and
christopher
will
throw
the
link
for
that
into
the
video.
But
if
you
go
to
the
coho
waking
search
for
notices
with
template
toolkit,
there's
like
an
instruction
page
and
then
there's
this
link
here
to
click
on
that
says
examples
using
tech,
template
toolkit
and
that
actually
will
take
you
to
the
notices
and
slips
library
and
there's
this
whole
big
library
of
things
you
can
do
with
notices
and
slips
and
at
the
bottom
is,
are
some
examples
of
doing
things
with
template.
A
C
There
we
go
okay,
so
I
also
have
the
notices
with
template
toolkit.
There
are
a
lot
of
good
notes
on
here
about
like
how
to
make
choices
like
if
this
do
it
this
way.
If
this
other
thing
did
that
way,
loops
and
we're
going
to
be
using
some
of
those
today
so
to
find
notices,
I'm
going
to
be
working
with
the
hold
slash
transfer
slip.
I
work
at
a
multi-branch
library
in
a
consortium
we
have
a
lot
of
holds
and
transfers,
so
how
we've
set
it
up
is
in
the
notices
and
slips
under
tools.
C
C
C
B
B
C
A
C
But
it
looked
normal.
It
looked
like
the
regular
thing
to
me
so
when
you're
putting
in
from
over
here
the
old
way
it
puts
in
with
like
these
alligators
and
so
instead
of
alligators
template
toolkit
uses
like
you
use
bracket
percent
symbol,
and
then
you
would
put
in
like
for
this
example.
It
would
be
branch,
dot,
branch
name.
A
C
Okay,
but
there
are
a
couple
things:
template
toolkit,
can
use
plugins
to
do
different,
formatting
and
call
some
information
differently,
and
so
we
actually
need
two
plugins
for
this
and
those
need
to
go
at
the
top
and
that
information
it
talks
about
some
of
the
plugins
here
on
the
notices
like
how
to
use
different
formats
for
dates.
Here,
I'm
going
to
be
using
cohort
dates.
I
think.
C
C
A
A
C
C
C
B
C
C
This
hold
slip,
that's
fully
template
toolkit
and
then
also
some
extended
options
which
I'll
just
mention
a
little
bit
later,
and
I
am
going
to
go
in
and
fill
in,
that
transfer
information,
but
I'm
going
to
do
the
whole
if
else
statement
first
so
for
each
like
part
of
it
again,
we
have
the
percent
signs
and
then,
instead
of,
if
we
do
else,
if
without
the
e,
I
don't
know
why.
That
is.
But
that's
how
it
is
in
template
toolkit
because.
C
C
I
think
for
that
no
never
mind,
because
otherwise
it
would
just
say
if
it's
neither
of
these,
then
it
does
nothing
which
it
should
be
one
or
the
other,
and
if
it's
not,
you
have
other
bigger
problems
than
your
old
slip,
and
so
what
we
do
for
our
transfer
slips
is
pretty
simple.
We
just
have
you
know
you
can
do
any
sort
of
html
formatting
in
here.
So
you
know
we
want
to
center
and
we
want
font
size.
C
C
C
A
C
A
C
A
B
B
C
C
C
We
don't
care
about
how
we
don't
care
about
the
year
because
we're
pulling
the
expired
holes
pretty
fast
and
so
we're
gonna
truncate
after
six
digits
and
just
put
a
space
in.
Oh,
I
did
five,
not
six
and
just
put
a
space
at
the
end,
so
that
truncate
will
cut
it
off
after,
like
month
month,
slash
day
day
and
then
at
the
I
don't
yeah,
that's
five.
C
C
Yeah,
you
definitely
can
I
actually.
I
had
made
some
changes
to
this
and
had
it
to
the
slip
before
we
made
this
overhaul
yeah
you
just.
You
can't
use
the
double
brackets
like
within
the
where
you're
like
trying
to
format
it,
especially
using
the
quahog
dates.
You
have
to
use
the
the
template
toolkit,
but.
A
C
A
C
C
A
C
C
Oh
okay,
yeah,
so
that
would
be
like
item
call
number,
since
it's
blank,
that's
just
not
showing
up
and
when
it
was
available
since
and
then,
if
you
needed
it
to
be
longer
to
print
in
the
print
in
the
fit
in
the
book,
you
could
add
extra
margins
like
christopher's
example
from
earlier
print
notice.
If
we
need
to
call
them
that
has
a
little
more
information
like
we
truncate
the
names,
but
we
put
the
first
name
and
the
nickname.
C
And
then,
if
it's
here
we
have
just
else.
If
the
hold
is
branch
code,
because
then
we
are
able
to.
This
is
basically
everything
that
isn't
a
transfer
transfers
at
the
top.
And
then
we
have
like
kind
of
a
few
different
things
for
specific
categories
or
borrower
numbers
set
up,
and
then,
if
it
has
either
a
text
number
or
an
email
address,
and
then
if
it
doesn't
fall
into
any
of
the
other
categories
that
we've
already
defined.
C
C
B
B
It'll,
look
to
see
if
it's
homebound
and
if
so
it'll
print
out
all
the
the
patron
information
on
there.
So
they
can
stick
it
in
the
slip
and
are
our
staff
member
that
handles
the
home
bound,
can
pull
that
slip
and
they've
got
the
the
information
of
how
to
contact
that
person
and
who
it's
for
so
because
they
keep
those
separate
and
they
do
deliveries.
B
C
Thanks
for
having
me,
I'm
excited
to
share,
and
you
know
I've
done
more
reading
on
template
toolkit
and
just
talking
a
little
bit
with
people
in
the
past.
I
feel
like
I'm.
You
know
this
is
a
lot
more
than
maybe
not
necessarily
more
than
I
could
do
with
the
jquery,
but
I
feel
like
it's
a
little
simpler
than
the
jquery
I
was
using
before
and
I
feel
like
I'm
just
scratching
the
the
tip
of
the
iceberg.
