> The library wanted the ability to specify hours when reserving items for
> patrons, and be able to cancel those reserves - a process of 'booking'
> something for a few hours, with the ability to reject (cancel) the booking.
> The patron would then be notified if the reserve was rejected/cancelled by
> the library (this part is handled in Bug 20453). The cancel_expired_holds.pl
> cronjob can be run hourly to work with this feature. 
> 
> The library only needed the hour-based holds functionality on the staff side
> as their patrons can't placed holds via the OPAC (RequestOnOpac disabled)
> but I have put the functionality on the OPAC side for the option.
> 
> Test plan for Bug 24718: hour-based holds
> 
> You will need two borrowers (Borrower A and B) and a record with items
> (Biblio A)
> 
> 1) Update database, restart memcached

> expiry date is saved as specified. Notice the time selection is shown.

> 10) Find Biblio A and place a hold for Borrower B
> 11) Try entering dates in the 'starts on' field and 'expires on' field.
> Notice you can also enter a time. Specify a future start date. Confirm the
