[Koha] using self checkout

[Jochum van der Heide]

After sending my email on Friday, I looked a bit closer at the files 
involved and line 30 in koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/sco/sco-main.pl to

authnotrequired => 1,

This seemed to solve my problem, now I don't have to first authenticate. 
It now allows me straight to the Self Checkout screen and asks me for my 
cardnumber and after that the book barcode, which works great... untill.. 
I click the "click here if done" button and want to checkout books for 
another patron. It then keeps giving me the following error for whatever 
barcode I type:

-------------------------
Koha error

The following fatal error has occurred:

Can't use string ("0") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at 
/usr/local/koha/lib/C4/Circulation.pm line 982.

Apache	Server version: Apache/2.0.52 Server built: Oct 7 2005 06:37:35

-------------------------------------------

Is this error introduced because I changed the file sco-main.pl to not ask 
for authentication?

BTW, it looks like the problem I raised in my first email, about the Self 
Checkout, also occurs on public.demo.kohalibrary.com
