This implementation seems to work, after manually running patron_atributes.sql. I'm curious about the implementation, though. Using a patron attribute appears to be a wholly new method for controlling how something in presented to users. I would have expected this to be an option for patron categories or even a granular permission. It's it impractical to have to add this on a per-patron basis, or is the situation prompting this enhancement so specific as to require a per-patron implementation?
Owen, they wanted it so that individual patrons can switch it off. Using the atrributes seemed to be the best way to accomplish it.
Steps to validate : - running patron_atributes.sql - adding YES_NO authorized values - Changed the patron attribute to see if the barcode display switched well. It did. Ok for me.
