http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7413 Bug #: 7413 Summary: Allow OPAC renewal x days before due date Classification: Unclassified Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Circulation AssignedTo: kyle.m.hall@gmail.com ReportedBy: katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de QAContact: ian.walls@bywatersolutions.com CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com Currently RenewalPeriodBase can be set to 2 different options: 1) When renewing checkouts, base the new due date on current date. This means that when a patron renews the item at the checkout date, the renewal counter will increment, but the due date will not change - the loan period is still the same. If he renews one day after checkout - he will get a reneal of one day and so on. 2) When renewing checkouts, base the new due date on the old date of the checkout. This means the renewals can be done immediately after checkout. So if you allow 3 renewals and a loan period of 4 weeks, the patron can log into his account and do all the renewals immediately. This will mean he effectively gets a loan period of 4 + 3*4 weeks = 16 weeks. I see no reason why a clever student shouldn't do this to make sure he can keep the text books as long as possible without any holds forcing him/her to return the books. One solution here would be to allow renewals only x days before the book is due. As the loan periods can be very different (overnight loans, 4 weeks, 7 days...) it would be cool if this could be implemented in circulation rules. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
