Okay, developers I need some help both in understanding and in documenting the above preferences. Right now CircControl and HomeOrHoldingBranch have the same descriptions, but I doubt that they do the same thing. I vaguely remember HomeOrHoldingBranch being deprecated in favor of HomeOrHoldingBranchReturn ... but don't see a bug for that, and obviously it didn't happen. Next, in the manual I say that HomeOrHoldingBranch has something to do with IndependantBranches (is that true? if so how?) There are a series of bug reports on this issue: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=homeorholding&list_id=5333 but I'm not sure what the final consensus is? How do I use these three preferences? and How do I document them for librarians? Log from IRC Chat [10:29] <nengard> need me some sys pref help [10:29] <nengard> CircControl and HomeOrHoldingBranch have the same descriptions ... [10:29] <nengard> and then there is HomeOrHoldingBranchReturn [10:29] <nengard> what does HomeOrHoldingBranch do? [10:29] <nengard> and i the manual correct when I say it's linked to IndependantBranches [10:30] * wizzyrea has always been confused by that [10:30] <wizzyrea> but I know that it has something to do with the way the rules are applied for circulation, and what happens when books are returned [10:31] <nengard> that much is clear, paul_p was this a Biblibre addition? [10:31] <nengard> all three have to do with circ rules and checking in and out ... just not sure which does what [10:32] <nengard> there is at least one bug to report here though ... CircControl and HomeOrHoldingBranch have the same descriptions [10:33] <nengard> they can't both do the same thing ... or if they do then we don't need two prefs : [10:33] <nengard> :) [10:33] <jcamins> I think that one of them is supposed to be eliminated, but wasn't yet. [10:33] <wizzyrea> HomeOrHolding was going away in favor of CircControl [10:33] <wizzyrea> but there's a bug on deprecating it [10:34] <wizzyrea> and I believe there was objection [10:34] * paul_p reading [10:34] <paul_p> (hello USA !) [10:34] <wizzyrea> http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=homeorholding&list_id=5333 [10:36] <paul_p> mmm... sorry, I won't be able to help you, it's not clear for me too [10:37] <nengard> wizzyrea, okay, that's confusing [10:37] <nengard> gonna put this to the dev list I guess [10:37] <wizzyrea> I didn't say you'd like the answer ;) [10:38] * paul_p looking to french descriptions of those sysprefs to see if it helps... [10:39] <paul_p> same description too, it doesn't help...
