Instead of turning off age protect we modified the way the TPac displays the
message. We do some date math and adjust the message accordingly. Staff and
patrons get different messages since "Age Protect" is meaningless to a patron.
Our TPac is fairly heavily modified. Here is a code
snip(opac/parts/record/copy_table.tt2):
138 [%- IF copy_info.age_protect AND copy_info.create_date;
139 create_date = date.format(ctx.parse_datetime(copy_info.create_date),
"%Y%m%d");
140 today = date.format(date.now, "%Y%m%d");
141
142 age_protect_age = ctx.get_crahp(copy_info.age_protect).age;
143
144 manip = date.manip;
145 expire_date = manip.DateCalc(create_date, age_protect_age.replace('mons',
'months'));
146 expire_date_format = manip.UnixDate(expire_date, DATE_FORMAT);
147 expire_date = manip.UnixDate(expire_date, "%Y%m%d");
148
149 expire_msg = '';
150 age_protect_is_active = 0;
151
152 IF today > expire_date;
153 date_color = 'green';
154 age_protect = l('Expired');
155 ELSE;
156 date_color = 'orange';
157 age_protect = l('Active');
158 expire_msg = expire_date_format;
159 age_protect_is_active = 1;
160 END ;
161 ELSE;
162 date_color = 'black';
163 age_protect = l('None');
164 expire_msg = '-';
165 age_protect_is_active = 0;
166 END;
167 %]
Then for staff:
168 [%- IF ctx.is_staff %]
169 <td style='color:[% date_color | html %];'>
170 [% age_protect | html %] <br />
171 [% expire_msg | html %]
172 </td>
173 <td>[%
174 IF copy_info.create_date;
175 date.format(
176 ctx.parse_datetime(copy_info.create_date),
177 DATE_FORMAT
178 );
179 ELSE;
180 '-';
181 END;
182 %]</td>
183 [% END # is_staff %]
For patrons:
247 [%- IF age_protect_is_active AND !ctx.is_staff %]
248 <tr>
249 <td></td>
250 <td colspan='3' style='color:orange'>This copy is new and can only be
picked up at this library.</td>
251 </tr>
252 [%- END %]

> Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Removing Age Protection after expired
> Hello, does anyone else out there remove the age protection from copies after
> it
> has expired. I’ve been asked to set that up, and it seems like a shame since
> it
> was designed to just work automatically, except that items with expired age
> protection still show up as age protected in the catalog. There is a bug open
> about it at https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1251761
> Does anyone currently go through and remove the age protection to get around
> that issue? If so do you do it directly at the DB level or do you use the
> client? Are there any gotchas about directly updating asset.copy to change the
> age protection and also changing the shelving location at the same time.
> If anyone wants to combine resources to get that bug fixed, either with brain
> power or development funding let me know also.
