Description Nick Clemens 2019-04-19 15:26:59 UTC
'Do not notify' in messages sort of hints that messages will be prevented, however, when checked it simply clear the other boxes.

Hold notices wil generate print even when nothing is selected, so we shouldn't imply that there is an 'Opt out'/'Do not notify' (see bug 5501 for that)

The goal of this bug is to simply rename this option

Bug 22744: Rename 'Do no notify' to 'Clear'

To test:
1 - Enable enhanced messaging prefs
2 - Allow users to set their messaging on the opac
3 - Edit a patron and check 'Do not notify'
4 - Save and note the box is empty if editing again
5 - Same on opac
6 - Apply patch
7 - Repeat and note the option now says 'Clear'
8 - Confirm this makes more sense

Comment 4 Christopher Brannon 2019-04-23 17:40:21 UTC
Not to nit-pick, but wouldn't make more sense for this to be a button or link that clears the check boxes?  It's kind of weird to have a checkbox do this.  Especially since the checkbox isn't going to retain a setting.
Comment 5 Katrin Fischer 2019-04-23 19:44:49 UTC
It's a little long. Maybe "Clear preferences" would work too?

I think the reason it's not a button is that you still need to save the changes. Maybe a "Clear settings" or "Clear preferences" link like we have on the z39.50 form?

Comment 7 Katrin Fischer 2019-06-13 06:04:27 UTC
Sorry, still not quite happy:

The table is labelled "messaging preferences" but the colunn uses "notification perference". I think it's prefer to have it just say "Clear", but if we want the longer version, it should use the same terminology (think translators).

Should the days in advance be reset? I feel it's not strictly necessary, but noting.

Please also fix the subject line on the second patch!
Comment 8 Katrin Fischer 2019-06-13 06:06:22 UTC
It might be questionable if we need the column at all? There are not that many columns to not be able to uncheck them quickly. (just a side note as this feature seems more confusing than helpful atm)
Comment 9 Katrin Fischer 2019-06-13 08:51:28 UTC
bug 5501 seems a possible duplicate (just found it by accident, didn't read all the discussion)

Bug 22744: [alternate] Remove the 'do not notify' buttons

These checkboxes are simply a way to clear the prefs before editing. We are not saving
a lot of click, and we are confusing people, this patch simply removes them

1 - Edit a patron's messaging preferences
2 - Think too hard about the 'Do not notify' boxes

(In reply to Katrin Fischer from comment #9)
> bug 5501 seems a possible duplicate (just found it by accident, didn't read
> all the discussion)

Bug 5501 goes the other way - it seeks to actually add a way to prevent sending notifications to the patron all together. Actually implementing 'Do not notify' as an option and not a clear button
Comment 17 Martin Renvoize 2019-07-16 13:31:18 UTC
So this is more of a 'Reset to defaults' type option right?

Katrin.. are you keen on the alternative or would you prefer the original but worded as accurately as possible.. I'm confused..

Both versions are good imo. Leaving it to the RM to decide imo :)
Comment 25 Martin Renvoize 2019-09-12 16:34:00 UTC
I prefer the 'alternate'.. i.e. removing the column altogether pending 5501 being worked on to properly implement the feature... however.. that patch needs some more work as it does not currently include the OPAC.
