--- Comment #54 from Heather Braum <[email protected]> --- Katrin, just to help in the explanation, since Kyle mentioned the sponsor requirement in his most recent comment back to you: I represent the organization that is sponsoring this development and since we requested the additional setting on the staff side to be able to turn this feature on and off through a borrower account, we are having to do this, because if you have the sys pref OPACPrivacy set to Don't Allow (which we have), patrons have no ability to even turn this new feature on/off in an OPAC account (if I remember correctly from our testing a few months ago). We have that sys pref turned off because it currently wrecks havoc on checkout history links for items if patrons "opt-out" of checkout history being left. In a consortia of 42 libraries with materials going everywhere, we have to have that checkout history to track down materials. Additionally, if you have a guarantor with 2 or more kids, it's much easier for this feature to be turned on from the staff side as well -- instead of having to log into each guarantee's account to turn this feature on. We thought adding the ability to turn this on and off from the staff side would actually help out patrons. I understand the privacy concerns -- we have them too -- and I'll let you all continue to sort this out, but I wanted to explain where we're coming from as the sponsor of this development. -- 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/
