Hi All - like a lot of libraries we've been testing the Cart functionality to
place returned items into quarantine for X hours. We are running 19.11.04.
We have the "UpdateItemLocationOnCheckin" syspref set to:
_ALL_: CART
When we return items they do go into the Cart, but the location isn't stored in
the "permanent_location" field. This means that when the item comes out of the
Cart, the location field is set to null because the previous location wasn't
stored.
I know the Uni of Arts London (18.11) are experiencing this issue. Are others?
Looking at the code that deals with this in the Circulation.pm module I cannot
see the permanent_location being set, but it's the first time I have looked at
this so I may be overlooking something.
I have done some quick testing and if I changed this:
if ( $item->location ne $update_loc_rules->{_ALL_}) {
$messages->{'ItemLocationUpdated'} = { from => $item->location,
to => $update_loc_rules->{_ALL_} };
ModItem( { location => $update_loc_rules->{_ALL_}}, undef,
$itemnumber );
}
To:
if ( $item->location ne $update_loc_rules->{_ALL_}) {
$messages->{'ItemLocationUpdated'} = { from => $item->location,
to => $update_loc_rules->{_ALL_} };
ModItem( { location => $update_loc_rules->{_ALL_},
permanent_location => $item->location }, undef, $itemnumber );
}
, then it appears to solve it, but would need proper testing!!!
Cheers, Stephen
