How do i enable hold on items? When i try to place a hold on an item koha says "Sorry, none of these items can be placed on hold." i have checked my rules and i cant see anywhere i should enable holds.
I'd also check the hold policy for your patron category - see http://koha.org/documentation/manual/3.2/administration/patrons-and-circulat... - and the item details for what you're trying to place on hold. I think the staff interface
Thanks. I've checked both the itemtype and the item details. I've also checked the rules and could not find anything amiss. Trying to place the hold from the staff client gives the error "No copies are available to be placed on hold"
Without doing a step-by-step trace, I'm not sure why that is.
i am using koha 3.01.00.032
That looks like a development version from June 2009, says http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:dbrevs:start which probably contains some bugs.
I am actually running the vmware image. Which is supposed to be a dev install. Can i upgrade this with the 3.04 i downloaded. The site does not have Internet access so i cant do an online upgrade or install.
I don't know the vmware image. If it's a dev install, it might be possible to upgrade it with git, but that would be very fiddly without internet access (messing with pack and patch files). Do any koha developers remember fixing a "No copies are available to be placed on hold" bug which might cause the above problem?
