--- Comment #34 from David Cook <dcook at prosentient.com.au> ---
I really like the idea of this patch, but it still has quite a few issues.

1) This patch doesn't apply to the staff client, so library staff are still
restricted to 1 hold per patron per record, even with the new system preference
set to 3.

2) This patch does apply to the OPAC. You are able to place holds (as the
patron) on 3 items in a record when you have the system preference set to 3.
However, when you try to place a 4th hold, the error message that appears is:

"Sorry, none of these items can be placed on hold."

"Title / by Author. This title cannot be requested."

That error message doesn't really reflect the actual situation. While I think
the first message is accurate, I think the second one should say "You have
exceeded the maximum number of holds (3) for this record." or something along
those lines.

Stylistically, I think the Javascript warning on the staff client when
exceeding the maximum number of holds could be improved.

Currently, it is:

"This patron has already placed the maximum number of holds for this record
Please cancel a previous hold first"

These two sentences should have periods at the end and be separated with
another new line.

>From a purely functional level, it seems like you're nearly there though! I'll
be excited to see this one come through :)
