[Bug 28798] New: Allow ability to make OPAC hold pick-up location mandatory
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28798 Bug ID: 28798 Summary: Allow ability to make OPAC hold pick-up location mandatory Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: OPAC Assignee: oleonard@myacpl.org Reporter: lucas@bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org Currently, when placing a hold on the OPAC the pickup location defaults to users branch, unless OPACHoldsIfAvailableAtPickup is set to 'don't allow'. Many libraries like to force the user to make a branch selection and make this field required. This can be done with JS but it would be nice if it was a system preference. I'd like to see a system preference like 'OPACHoldBranchMandatory' which would add an empty value like: <option val="">--Please choose--</option> and upon submission check to make sure something besides the empty value is selected. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Under what circumstances is the user's home library not an appropriate default? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Some librarians in multi-branch systems want users to consciously make a decision about where they will pickup the hold. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

As Lucas says, I've talked to libraries that want this. If we're creating a new syspref and monkeying with this field, could we go a step further and make the syspref something like OPACHoldPickupDefault with the options (Patron home library / Item home library / Item holding library / Force a choice). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

+1, I like this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
