George Williams (NEKLS) <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #17 from George Williams (NEKLS) <[email protected]> --- I would recommend going forward with adding a system preference that can determine whether or not the holds queue loads automatically when you go to view_holdsqueue.pl. The issue here relates to workflow management in 4 different directions. As stated previously: Before Bug 36455 the holds queue workflow worked for some libraries and not others. After Bug 36455 the holds queue workflow worked for some libraries and not others. But there's another layer here: Before Bug 36455, if a library wanted to modify their holds queue workflow, the librarians had to maintain custom jQuery or Javascript. If Bug 41788 is added to Koha, developers will have to maintain 15 lines of new code and a system preference and all of the possible bugs and issues that come along with that. ----- Before bug 36455 was added to Koha you needed to A) go to the circulation page, B) click on Holds queue, C) set any filters for the holds queue (the Library will default to the library you are logged in at), D) click submit. My experience is that most small to medium libraries neither want nor need steps C and D because there aren't that many items in their holds queues. In the original post in this bug, Donna says that bug 36455 "has caused issues for libraries with large hold queues." In that respect that becomes a small libraries vs large libraries issue. And in my experience, the smaller libraries are the ones that are less likely to learn how to write custom Javascript and jQuery for Koha, and they're less likely to participate in the community and file bugs and participate in the conversation here because they're too busy running their libraries. Ultimately, if the goal is to make Koha easy to use for as many libraries as possible, then Koha should have a built in way of setting whether or not the holds queue loads automatically when you go to view_holdsqueue.pl. So, I would recommend going forward with adding a system preference that can determine whether or not the holds queue loads automatically when you go to view_holdsqueue.pl. -- 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/
