Description Liz Rea 2011-02-10 21:06:57 UTC
The interface currently shows waiting holds on the checkout page, and hotlinks the title of the book. 

One of my librarians suggested that it would be super cool if next to that alert you could click a link that would either send the barcode to the check out box, or check out the item without having to actually find and scan the barcode on the item.

(Original idea from Sarah Walker-Hitt at Lyndon Carnegie Library, Lyndon, Kansas)

I feel, upon further reflection, that it might suffice to simply display the barcode so it can be copy/pasted or just entered by hand.

Bug 5739 - Show the barcode of the waiting item on the circulation page

To test:

1. place a hold for a borrower
2. mark the hold waiting for that borrower
3. view that borrower's circulation page
4. without the patch, no barcode will be displayed under "hold waiting for..." With it, the barcode will be linked to the item.

Patch works and passes QA. However I have some additional thoughts:
1) Making the barcode a link to moredetail.pl makes it much more difficult to copy and paste. You can no longer just double click the barcode to highlight it.
2) I think the idea of making it a link that pastes the barcode into the checkout box automatically is a good one since it obviates the need to do these extra actions.

Yeah I think the link to moredetail.pl eliminates the usefulness of outputting the barcode here.

Having a thought to revisit this - would something like 

barcode ([link to patron detail]) be better?
