This development uses SHOW_LIB in the same manner that Bug 4157 uses SHOW_BCODE.
So I think SHOW_LIB should be added in patron_attributes.sql and patron_attributes.txt but not in installer.sql What is your opinion on this Jonathan ?
Katrin, I made this dev in a way that is consistant with a similar setting, that is SHOW_BCODE from Bug 4157, but I'm open-minded about how it should be configured. When you say "[..] using column configuration on the table", can you be more explicit? What are you exactly referring to? Are there other settings already using what you are referring to?
Hi Matthias, I know about SHOW_BCODE, but always get the impression that it's confusing to people and not so helpful. For example you can't really set a default for patron attributes, so you'd have to turn it on for every single one, if a library wants this as a general default. I don't think putting it on the patron is ideal and they won't expect it on the details page. When SHOW_BCODE was added, it was not even possible yet for a patron to change these settings in the OPAC. It feels like these features are not well suited to work on top of the patron attributes system. It feels a bit hacky. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
