Description Mason James 2015-09-17 03:38:52 UTC
if an anonymous purchase suggestion is created from the OPAC, it's branchcode is NULL,
despite the 'Anon' user having a valid branchcode

this bug makes any 'Anon' suggestion invisible in the staff interface

more info to come...

I don't think we should be using the Anon user's branchcode - we only have one AnonymousPatron account, even for very big systems with multiple branches. Using an empty branchcode would be better and make that show up correctly again in the interface. It used to be a string - I think __ANY__ or similar, but there was a patch that changed it to be empty, which makes more sense, but might have missed something.

Mason,

hiya, yes - I do agree with you Cait :0)

I think a better fix would be to modify the staff suggestions page, to display all NULL suggestions

I believe this one can be closed as we agreed not to use the anon user's branchcode but adapt the way we display anonymous suggestions instead.
