https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19444 --- Comment #3 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de> --- Hi Jonathan, there is has been a lot of dicussion about this and libraries have different ideas about this, for some a hold that can be placed is an incentive for the user to come back to the library and renew their membership etc. Have you checked the BlockExpiredPatronOpacActions system prefernece? [Block|don't block] expired patrons from OPAC actions such as placing a hold or renewing. Note that the setting for a patron category takes priority over this system preference. I think it would make sense to treat auto-renewals according to this setting. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
