https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12029 --- Comment #12 from Christopher Brannon <cbrannon@cdalibrary.org> --- Okay, based on this discussion, we can simplify the scope of this project: * A new field (ie patron_read) will be added to the messages table to record that the patron has read the message. * If a message is set to display on the OPAC for the patron, the patron will have a 'Dismiss' or 'Mark as read' button next to the message. * When the patron marks the message as read, the new field (ie patron_read) will have the current date added to it, indicating the date that they read the message. * If this new field has a value (a date), it will no longer show on the OPAC. It will also display a label, such as 'Read xx-xx-xxxx', where x is the date in the field. (Date will need to be formatted to admin date settings.) This functionality will not delete the message. It will allow staff to see that the patron has read the message, and staff will still have the ability to delete the message at their discretion. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
