I'm new to Koha Bug Wrangling and setting duplicates, so everyone please forgive me if I do this wrong and thank you for your patience. I think this may be a duplicate or an extension of why the functionality will be useful/important of 24949. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 24949 *** I am new to Koha Bug Wrangling as well but think this issue is not a duplicate of bug 24949. Our staff have requested to be able to see whether a patron has set a password or not. This is useful as it can happen that patrons have a patron record but not set a password yet. Staff can then advise the patron in this situation on how to set their password. I found that there are provisions in Koha's code already for showing whether a patron has a password set or not so but they are not working properly and I indicated the reason for that. So this is an issue for the current Koha code. Bug 24949 is a request for a new feature. And while I agree that being able to see the actual password might be very useful in some contexts (not in ours - that would never be permitted) to me it is a different issue. I think we set borrowers.password to "" or ! when not set, so it should be possible to use that information for a visual clue. |
