Description Katrin Fischer 2017-08-27 11:24:57 UTC
To test:
- Check out an item via web based self check
- Click on 'renew' button or enter barcode again
- Renewal form should display, giving you 'renew' or 'cancel' as options
- Click on 'renew'
-> Note that nothing happens.

Wonder if this is something in my setup, but anyway there should be a helpful message instead of just a page reload. Couldn't find any error in the logs.

After some more testing OpacRenewalAllowed makes the difference. 

But the current behaviour makes no sense: Either we should not offer renewal functionality or it should work. :)

I think it might be nice to have this controlled by a separate preference as the SCO is neither staff nor OPAC. 
If this ever worked, restoring former behaviour might be enough for a bug fix.
