[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] ***SPAM*** RE: Prediction Patterns

[Tim Spindler]

Thanks for each of your help on this. I pasted Lebbeous pattern in for the
prediction pattern.  However, when I generate the predicted issue.  It did
not restart the issue numbers.  It generated the following


   - v. 364:no.25(2011:Jun.23)
   - v. 364:no.26(2011:Jun.30)
   - v. 365:no.27(2011:Jul.07) -->  this is almost correct but the numbering
   should restart at 1
   - v. 365:no.28(2011:Jul.14)

I have tried to get this to work in different ways  using the calendar but
have not been able to get the number restarting.

This is on an install of 2.1 beta 1
