Description Nick Clemens 2018-08-17 11:58:52 UTC
The code seems to make the assumption that if we come from circ, we only want to view the borrowers info, however, it provides the full form, indicating you can search for more info.


To recreate:
1 - Pull up a patron
2 - Click 'Modification log'
3 - You see info about patron
4 - Change the form, moving Object to Info
5 - You are sent to a blank circ page

And what about making "object" read-only if viewing logs from a given patron?

Nick, Owen, what about this alternative patch?

> Nick, Owen, what about this alternative patch?

Hmm...this still allows for odd things - the borrowernumber is locked, but I can change the moduel to "Catalog", then I get the info for the biblio with the same number, and I have circ options with no patron.

If we want to go that route I would suggest to disable the whole form and replacing it with a link to the log viewer

I don't hate my patch though :-b

Ok, let's ask for another QA point of view.
Comment 8 Katrin Fischer 2018-10-28 16:54:53 UTC
This is a hard one.

The basic problem seems to be that we use the log viewer in a specific context: related to one patron. But as it's a general search form there is no guarantee that people won't search for other things as well.

I don't like the alternative patch so much as it feels too limiting without reason. Why do we not allow it to change and force users to make more clicks if it's the same form they get when coming from tools?

I don't have a perfect solution, but I feel Nick's patch is an improvement over the current behavior.

3 - Note you get borrower info
4 - Move the object field into info field
5 - Submit
6 - You are now on the 'Log viewer' page with admin options, not
borrower circ options
