Notes

Agreed "when looking up a patron from members-home.pl and having one and only one result, one should go straight to the member.pl, not have a table with 1 result only" --Nengard 01:38, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Also agreed with above comment. --Liz Rea 04:08, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

I don't agree with this "on circ/returns.pl page when I click on a patron's name (link), I should not go to koha/members/moremember.pl?borrowernumber=XXX but to koha/circ/circulation.pl?borrowernumber=XXX" I think that there should be two links maybe one to the patron record and one to to the circ page so you can decide where you want to go - but I'm doing a patron search so I expect to get a patron record, not a circ screen. --Nengard 01:38, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

I disagree with the above comment re circ/returns.pl: in most of our libraries users want to see the patron detail when they click the name on this screen. There are lots of ways to get a circ screen, but only a few ways to get to patron detail. More links would be confusing. --Liz Rea 04:08, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Liz, so are you saying you'd like it developed the way it's explained in the RFC? Now that it's daytime and I look at what it says, I see that they are talking about changing the link on the returns page and not on the patron search page, so maybe it does make sense to go to the circ tab on the patron record. --Nengard 12:42, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Agreed "to add a field to admin/patron-att-types.pl?op=edit|add_attribute_type → labeled “display in check out”, with a checkbox" --Nengard 01:38, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm confused by this point "manage the display of those selected attribute types in the display of the patron's information in the checkout tab on circulation.pl → see modifications as to the template toolkit" --Nengard 01:38, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
