Description

Ian, the description for singlebranchmode says "Allow/Don't allow patrons to select their branch on the OPAC." but it doesn't actually just do that. It also controls whether staff can choose their branch in the staff client. I think we need some such preference to let the libraries decide if their patrons and staff can choose a branch in the opac and staff client. I think the description makes no sense as is. By design the SingleBranchMode is made to hide all things related to branches if you only have 1 branch. Because it makes no sense to have a branch facet, a pickup library or search for branches when there is only 1 branch. And the same applies to the staff interface. If there is only 1 branch, hiding the options is supposed to make it less confusing. So I think correcting the system preference description is the fix here, but there might be some additional functionality that is desirable. For example: - Make it possible to specify which branches are visible in the OPAC (so you could have an ILL library, internal departments as branches and such) - Make it possible to specify which libraries can be pickup locations - Make it a permission, if a staff user can change the library from his home library to another |
