> The opac-addbybiblionumber.pl form pops up and the
> patron opens the 'Add to List: dropdown menu.' The selection shown is ONLY the
> 10 most recently added lists.
In addition, the display on opac-addbybiblionumber.pl doesn't indicate which lists are public and which are private as the menu on opac-search.pl does. So it looks like it's showing you more than ten items, but really it's showing only up to ten for each shelf type (private, public, open).
The 10 item limit is hard-coded in the script. I'm assuming the motivation is to avoid showing a menu which has an unmanageable number of items in it. But that leaves us with the question of how else can we give patrons access to these lists?
If we decide the solution is to show *all* available lists on opac-addbybiblionumber.pl, I recommend we leave the menu on opac-search.pl the same (limited to 10 of each type) with one modification: an additional option of "more lists" so that the user has a hint that more are available. Choosing that option would open the opac-addbybiblionumber.pl popup offering the full list of options.
And: +1 on alphabetizing the lists.

The fear of an unmanageable number of lists was exactly the motivation for enforcing a limit. Perhaps there may be some way of producing a list which displays 10 lists, but has scroll buttons to scroll up and down the entire list of lists? The hard-coded limit could be moved to (yet) another syspref.... <duck> *** Bug 5491 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I recommend either a 'more' link or a scrolling pull down list that shows all lists the library offers. This makes it hard to add items to lists from the staff client search results for libraries with more than 10 lists available. to choose from - instead they have to go to the lists module and page through the list of lists and add items by barcode instead. I'm going to take a stab at this: - adding "more" option to the search results dropdown - offering a scrolling list on the add-to-list popup Created attachment 2893 [details]
Screenshot of proposed page display
In this screenshot you can see the addition of a "More lists" option under the "Your lists" group. Clicking "more lists" pops up the lists popup without any list preselected.

Screenshot of proposed page display, list add popup
This screenshot shows that the lists add popup would show the full list of all the patron's lists, divided into groups of private and public lists.
So does this mean if you need to add a batch of items to the 15th list you choose [more lists] from the pull down and then on the pop up you choose the list and that batch is added? If so - that works A-OK!! *** Bug 5554 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Created attachment 3523 [details] [review] Proposed fix It works well. Signed off.
