--- Comment #10 from David Cook <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Marcel de Rooy from comment #8) > I do not really understand why autorenewal should default to Yes. I suspect most people would be in favour of autorenewal (I know I am as a library patron - very handy functionality), and it's more likely there would be a minority of people wanting to refuse it. Hence default to yes. > Suppose that you have set Autorenewal off for all your circ rules. And now > you see allow auto-renewal popping up everywhere.. > This is quite confusing. > Imo we need more checks than just default to Yes. As I noted on bug 24476, I don't think it's quite that simple. Even if all the autorenewals are turned off in the circ rules, you might have current checkouts that are still marked as autorenewal (which I think still get processed as autorenewals although I should double-check that), and you can choose to make an item an "Automatic renewal" by going into "Checkout settings" when checking out an item. I do agree though that it's complicated. On the surface, it seems silly to allow a patron to control an autorenewal setting if the library doesn't actually use autorenewals, but I think they're conceptually two different things. One is marking an item as an autorenewal, and the other is the patron allowing items to be autorenewed. (Of course, I wonder why a patron should be able to turn off autorenewal, but I don't really like how autorenewal has been implemented overall and how it prevents manual renewals. But that's another matter...) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://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/
