Hi Agnes, 2009/5/21 Agnes Rivers-Moore <arm@hanover.ca>:
I believe that the existing function to set a specific due date at checkout works well for people who need an extended due date, and for renewals in general we would prefer to calculate from the day the renewal is done.
There was actually a fair amount of discussion about this. The end result is that when this change was committed, it came with a new system preferences, RenewalPeriodBase, that lets the administrator choose whether to calculate the new loan period based on the date of renewal or based on the current due date. I've updated the bug to make this clear. Regards, Galen -- Galen Charlton VP, Research & Development, LibLime galen.charlton@liblime.com p: 1-888-564-2457 x709 skype: gmcharlt
