Owen Leonard <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|Needs Signoff |In Discussion Version|unspecified |master --- Comment #2 from Owen Leonard <[email protected]> --- I don't think this is the right solution for what is currently a messy problem. As I understand it, the current "allow on shelf holds" feature will let you place a hold if *any* of multiple items is unavailable. I understand that this is The Way It Has Been, but the description of the option in and the documentation do NOT make it explicit that this is the behavior. My initial reaction to this patch is that it's trying to make "allow on shelf holds" work the way it is actually described rather than how it really works. Do libraries who use the "allow on shelf holds" feature *want* it to work that way, or do they use it because it's better than nothing? I think having two settings, "allow on shelf holds" and "allow hold if others available" is needlessly confusing. On the face of it they both look like they do exactly the same thing, and I have no idea how they're supposed to work in conjunction with each other. In my test of this patch I set a global all item types/all patron categories rule with both "allow on shelf holds" and "allow hold if others available" set to "no." However, I was able to place a hold on a title which has one checked-out item and three available. I don't think that's right. There have been other discussions of this issue too which should be taken into account: Bug 6837 and Bug 9190. If we bring it all together is there a single solution which can accommodate everyone's needs? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
