This certainly isn't the best way long-term way of dealing with the problem, and it might not even be the best short-term workaround, but we wrote a script that automatically sets the due date of all items to the expiry date of the user's account when the due date would otherwise be beyond the expiry date. See circ_date_to_expire_date.pl at http://svn.open-ils.org/trac/ILS-Contrib/browser/conifer/trunk/tools > Is there also a setting that stops patrons from borrowing if they have an > item that > is x days overdue? Thanks! Hmm, I don't think exactly that option exists. You can prevent patrons from borrowing once they've reached a fine threshold or a # of overdue items threshold. But I still feel like I've only dipped my toe in the script-based circulation waters, so maybe something like that is easily possible. -- Dan Scott Laurentian University
