Hi all, The issue is: We are a public school, and some of our younger users seem to forget to select a location when reserving an item, this seems to cause problems under the Circulation->Reserves Pending menu in the librarian interface. If I select the reserves pending screen, it shows the users and their reserves. However, if I click on (some) users, it does not show that user as having any "Items requested". I believe this inconsistency is due to the user not selecting a branch during the actual reserve request. Is there a way to set the default location for the reserves or a better way to handle reserves? ie: when a user selects a reserve they are given a "Please select the branch from which you want to collect the item:" choice with a drop down menu of locations. Is there a way to hard code (or set a default) location here, or require that the user make a valid selection? I am using Koha 2.2.9 on win32. Thanks for any advice. -Scott Owen Alma Public Schools
I believe the right fix to this is to preselect the patron's branch in the dropdown as currently seems to be working in 3.0. --joe On Mon, Feb 2, 2009 at 9:00 AM, Scott Owen <sowen@edzone.net> wrote:
