Description Alex Buckley 2017-10-05 00:54:49 UTC
A library has requested this feature so it has a real world use case.

The summary of what the patches attached to this bug report will do is create 2 new sysprefs:

1) To write in a borrower name and it will auto-complete with the borrower record storing the borrower number which is unlikely to change.

When a patron makes a purchase suggestion this is sent to the email address associated with the borrower number (as long as the second (below) syspref is enabled). The reason the borrower number not the email address is going to be stored is that email addresses are more likely to be changed than the borrower number so from a usability point of view it is best to store the least likely to be changed value. 


2) To enable or disable the emailing of suggestions to the borrower specified in syspref 1 (above)

Comment 2 Katrin Fischer 2018-06-10 11:41:06 UTC
Should this have a different status?
Comment 3 Alex Buckley 2020-04-23 02:28:48 UTC
This functionality has already been implemented with the 'EmailPurchaseSuggestions', 'EmailAddressForSuggestions' system preferences introduced by Bug 5770.

So I'll close this bug report now.
