On a new git install, if the site has not set any value in the maxreserves syspref, trying to place a hold through the OPAC results in a blank screen.  There is no visible error message, but the error log says:

opac-reserve.pl: Argument "" isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at /home/servername/kohaclone/opac/opac-reserve.pl line 265.

When I look at line 265 in opac-reserve.pl, here's the code block:

if ( scalar(@reserves) >= $MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_RESERVES ) {
    $template->param( message => 1 );
    $noreserves = 1;
    $template->param( too_many_reserves => scalar(@reserves));
}

Setting a numeric value in the syspref made holds work OK, but the code needs to be fixed so that it accounts for a null or empty entry.  How best to do that?

I'm not sure what section of code to check, to see if staff-side holds has the same problem.

upping priority - the fact that you can't place holds and that this is missing are big deals.  Also changing version - this is the issue in the current HEAD version.

It seems that this syspref should be done away with and opac-reserve.pl be made to obey the issuerules. In turn, there should be a 'standard' default rule to fall back on.

Pushed the  C4/ILSDI/Utility.pm portion of Chris Cormack's patch to HEAD.  Commit 6e376d04 by Chris Nighswonger, pushed earlier, handled the opac-reserve.pl part.

Recommend leaving open because of Chris Nighswonger's comment about the need to replace the system preference with a check of the issuingrules, but downgrading to major.
