https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=22456 Bug ID: 22456 Summary: Customers Cancelling their Pending Holds Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 18.05 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: OPAC Assignee: oleonard(a)myacpl.org Reporter: christofer.zorn(a)ajaxlibrary.ca QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org Target Milestone: --- Good morning! I'm not sure if I should have piggybacked this off of the previous ticket, but I'd like to open the discussion on bug 18856 again. We'd like the ability to have patrons cancel their holds once they have been pulled by staff and are awaiting pick up. Our previous catalogue (Bibliocommons) allowed the cancellation of holds once it as captured. This feature was well like and used by our patrons who had determined they didn't need/want the item any longer. This gave the perception that they were freeing up the item for the next person. We have fielded a number of grumpy comments since our migration about the inability to perform this functionality. >From my perspective, if we're allowing patrons to place holds and cancel them before they're captured, we should offer the ability to cancel them up until they're picked up. At the very least, this should be a system option to allow the Library to choose whether they'd like to enable this functionality. Even if the implemented functionality is a placebo for the user ... offer them the ability to cancel the hold and have it remove from their account. As long as optically it appears they've cancelled the hold, there is no harm. If desired, a report could be run to allow staff to pull those items from the shelf if needed. I'm more than happy to elaborate if needed on this, but I feel that this is a feature that is currently missing from Koha that would be a boon to customer service. Thanks Christofer -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

To recreate: 1 - Place a hold for patron A on item #1 of a record 2 - Place a hold for patron B on item #2 of a record 3 - Issue item #2 to patron A - their hold on item #1 is filled incorrectly -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

[Bug 36024] New: Cancellation requests for waiting holds - errors caused by duplicate requests

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=36024 Bug ID: 36024 Summary: Cancellation requests for waiting holds - errors caused by duplicate requests Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: Hold requests Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: emily.lamancusa(a)montgomerycountymd.gov QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt(a)gmail.com The Koha OPAC prevents duplicate waiting hold cancellation requests at the interface level, but if a duplicate request is sent through the API (e.g. from a discovery layer), it is not prevented. This causes the cancellation request to display twice on the Holds With Cancellation Requests table on the staff interface. When the item is checked in, the cancellation request and checkin logic are (at least partially) processed, but the page displays a 500 error, which is confusing to staff and prevents any modals from displaying. To reproduce on KTD: 1. Circulation Rules: add a Default waiting hold cancellation policy of all / all / yes (i.e. cancellation allowed for all patron categories and item types) 2. System preferences: Enable RESTBasicAuth 3. Place a hold and check the item in to set the hold to Waiting 4. In a kshell, send an API hold cancellation request from the command line: curl -u koha:koha --request DELETE 'http://127.0.0.1:8081/api/v1/holds/1' --header "Content-type: application/json" --header "x-koha-override: cancellation-request-flow" (if the hold ID is not 1, change the hold ID at the end of the request path accordingly) 5. Repeat step 4 6. Go to the Holds Waiting page and view the Holds With Cancellation Requests tab --> Note that two identical cancellation requests appear for that hold 7. Check in the item --> Note the error message 8. Confirm that the item state has been modified: --> Hold is gone from the Holds Waiting page --> Hold is gone from the bib record --> Item shows as available on the bib record and last seen date has been updated --> If RecordLocalUseOnReturn is enabled, a local use entry has been added to the statistics table -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 33538] New: Allow for independent shibboleth autocreate and sync mapping

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=33538 Bug ID: 33538 Summary: Allow for independent shibboleth autocreate and sync mapping Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Authentication Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: pgsengstock(a)wisc.edu QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: dpavlin(a)rot13.org Shibboleth auth's autocreate and sync functions both rely on the same //shibboleth/mapping block in koha-conf.xml. Because autocreate requires mapping and/or defaults for branchcode and categorycode, this has the undesired affect of overwriting manual edits to borrowers on later syncs if the those fields are not delivered via shibboleth and explicitly mapped. Example: 1) Patron signs in for first time and borrower account is autocreated with a default branch and categorycode. 2) Staff update patron to set new branch and category codes as needed (e.g. from "SSOAUTH" to "MAINLIB"). 3) On next sign-in, patron's mapped data is synced, but branch and category codes are overwritten with the defaults. Suggested workaround is to differentiate //shibboleth/autocreatemapping vs //shibboleth/syncmapping. This allows greater control over which fields are mapped for autocreate vs sync. This schema change would not be backward compatible, though. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.

For instance, in both the staff interface, if you are viewing a public list with a lot of items on it, you do not have the ability to see if a specific item appears on the list.
