Description Katrin Fischer 2013-04-25 19:30:38 UTC
There is a major change in how fines work in that they are recalculated on return of the item.

That should at least be reflected in the syspref finesmode, nicer would be a separate switch.

finesmode currently reads:
[Calculate and charge] fines (when misc/cronjobs/fines.pl is being run).
Comment 1 Katrin Fischer 2013-04-25 19:56:17 UTC
On further discussing this on IRC, we got some votes on recalculation being optional. finesmode could still have a note mentioning that not only the fines.pl cronjob can accrue fines.

Bug 10119: Add note about CalculateFinesOnReturn to description of finesmode

This adds a note to the descrpition of the finesmode system
preference mentioning that CalculateFinesOnReturn is another
option for charging fines:

Note: Fines can also be charged by the CalculateFinesOnReturn system preference.

To test:
- Search for the finesmode system preference
- Verify the new text shows and is correct

NOTE: New text appears as expected. You can also just scroll for
      it on the Circulation preferences tab.
