Showing the last item checked out with AJAX circulation
One of the issues we're having with the new AJAX circulation feature is that we can't take advantage of the speed gains obtained by not showing checkouts by default because we need confirmation that the last item we scanned was successfully checked out. Kyle has offered a patch for Bug 13315, " Add feedback for last item checked out to circulation.pl" which updates the display so that a message shows with information about the last item scanned. Here's a screenshot: http://www.screencast.com/t/qNw2U3hwz I think this is an important improvement, but I'm inclined to do something less obtrusive: http://www.screencast.com/t/1gsa2prF ...on the assumption that the visual aspect of checking out was working fine before AJAX circ, and fixes to AJAX circ should look to returning things to a proven-functional state. However, always assuming that it was better before would prevent us from making improvements, so I'd love to hear others' opinions -- especially from anyone who is running this feature in production.

Either is good with our library, love the addition of the last checked out item! Jason Burds I.T.

Christopher Brannon made this comment on the bug report:
I would be more inclined to see the feedback in the same area that I'm scanning in (in the same box). Maybe at the bottom?
I like this idea too! Here's my take: http://www.screencast.com/t/ZcsPfJabP The advantage to this method is that the feedback is visible even for patrons with lost of information in the messages column: http://www.screencast.com/t/3uEHAaWnUyc -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
I really like this idea!
