Description Kyle M Hall 2014-12-09 12:18:08 UTC
It appears that some librarians will attempt to scan items as fast as they can without checking to make sure the checkout was submitted and the page reloaded properly. This can cause multiple barcodes to be scanned into the barcode field if the person is fast enough.

Works well for me, and code looks fine.  Signing Off
Comment 5 Owen Leonard 2014-12-09 15:44:23 UTC
-    [% IF NEEDSCONFIRMATION %]
            <input type="text" name="barcode" id="barcode" class="barcode focus" size="14" disabled="disabled" />
-    [% ELSE %]
-       <input type="text" name="barcode" id="barcode" class="barcode focus" size="14" />
-    [% END %]

This change means that all circulation transactions must wait until document.ready() fires. Is this what we want? 

+    $('#mainform').bind('submit',function() {
+        $('#barcode').on('keypress',function(event) {

Is there a reason to use bind() on #mainform instead of on()? "As of jQuery 1.7, the .on() method is the preferred method for attaching event handlers to a document." https://api.jquery.com/bind/
Comment 6 Kyle M Hall 2014-12-12 13:04:34 UTC
I agree, I think I was a bit too aggressive. There is really no need to prevent a barcode from being scanned before the page loads completely. I'll also change the bind to on, as you are correct about that as well.

[PASSED QA] Bug 13415 - Prevent librarians from scanning multiple items into a single barcode field

It appears that some librarians will attempt to scan items as fast as
they can without checking to make sure the checkout was submitted and
the page reloaded properly. This can cause multiple barcodes to be
scanned into the barcode field if the person is fast enough.
This causes the checkout of both ( or more! ) items to fail.

Test Plan:
1) Apply this patch
2) Attempt to scan two or more items into the barcode field
   You can emulate this with a keybaord by hitting a few keys, then
   enter, then a few more keys, then enter again. The barcodes don't
   need to be valid for this test.
3) Note the dialog stating the barcode has been submitted and to please
   wait.
