Description Nick Clemens (kidclamp) 2021-05-24 12:56:15 UTC
While 'Hold ready' and 'Overdue' notices fallback to print, other patron messages cannot be selected with 'print' as the message transport. Users can, however, define print notices for any letter code, indicating they are an option to generate.

Bug 28437: [POC] Add 'print' option to messaging preferences

This patch simply adds a print option to the patron messaging preferences form on the staff side.

Doing so seems to work for message generation as we simply loop on the transports selected.

We would need ot add the same to forms on the OPAC, but as a POC this works
Comment 2 Katrin Fischer 2021-05-24 13:03:46 UTC
I wonder if we should make this configurable OPAC as not all libraries will want to provide mailed letters (print) due to costs. 

Not sure, but maybe this could go on the patron category type page somehow?
