These are displayed on an Overdrive page which includes a link: 'Click here to return to the sign in form' but there is nothing to draw the user's attention to their error and the need to follow that link back to try again.
Where correct credentials are offered, Overdrive redirects to the users' Overdrive account page and no messages from Koha are displayed.
We propose to replace these messages with 'You have entered an incorrect cardnumber or password. Please try again.' This will appear just above the 'Click here to return ...' link and should make the process obvious for the user.
Before I add this to bugzilla, has anyone seen this issue or have any thoughts on it? Have we missed anything?
I've had this reported recently but havent been able to look at it. I think there might be a change of behaviour I think screen message used to get a default value in cases like this rather than the cryptic "1". It may be the initial flag value for screen_msg in ILS::Patron is not getting replaced by a default?
