           Summary: Circulation page offers no information on why checkouts
                    are blocked
           Product: Koha
           Version: HEAD
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: Circulation
        AssignedTo: chris at bigballofwax.co.nz
        ReportedBy: oleonard at myacpl.org
         QAContact: koha-bugs at lists.koha.org


The circulation screen needs to offer more detailed information about why a
patron is blocked from checking out. For instance: if a patron has more
outstanding fines than the noissuescharge system pref allows, that patron will
be blocked from checking out. But the warning on the circ screen is the same as
before their outstanding fines exceeded the limit: "Fines: Patron has
Outstanding fines." The page might also give a similar message about overdues,
"Overdues: Patron has ITEMS OVERDUE," with the same weight as the fines
warning.

The template needs to be able to determine which warning message relates to the
reason for the block on the patron's account and offer relevant information:
"Outstanding fines exceed <noissuescharge>. Checkouts blocked."
