--- Comment #12 from Koha Team Lyon 3 <koha at univ-lyon3.fr> ---
I'm really interested by this bug and I can try to give you my opinion and my
feedback.
>From what I've read here and in the other bugs, I think that the proposition of
the syspref allowonshelfholds with 3 option sounds good.

I agree that we can keep the current behaviour that allows to put holds if only
one item at least is borrowed (but I must say that patrons in my library don't
really understand that their hold are not put on available items but only on
the borrowed one).

I'm looking forward to the new option to be implemented because it's really the
behaviour that we expect : that patrons can put holds only if all items that
can be hold are checked out. 
It isn't specified here but if there's items with different item types and that
some of them are not defined as "holdable" in issuing rules and are on shelves
but that all the "holdable" one are checked out, we should have the possibility
to place an hold. 
And it should be the same if we have items from different branches : one that
allows holds and the other not. If there's items available in the branch that
doesn't allow holds, but that all the items from the branch that allows holds
are checked out, patrons should be able to place a hold.

I hope that I'm clear in my explanations...
