Created attachment 179176 [details] Screenshot of checkout confirmation message Some libraries using hourly loans have closing times past midnight, such as 1am. When ConsiderLibraryHoursInCirculation is being used and a library has a closing time past midnight, a checkout confirmation message appears (see screenshot) and provides the option for a due date to be specified, as if it is not allowed by circulation rules (even if allowed). To Test: 1. In Administration > Libraries, set library hours in such a way that the closing time is past midnight (ex: 1am) 2. Set ConsiderLibraryHoursInCirculation system preference to "shorten the loan period and set the checkout to be due at the library's close time". 3. Confirm that a circulation rule for the patron category/item type exists in Administration > Circulation and fine rules 4. Navigate to a patron account and check out an item with an hourly loan period - note the checkout confirmation message that appears
One of our libraries is open 7:30 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. several days during the week, so they are unable to use "ConsiderLibraryHoursInCirculation" as they would like to in order to shorten hourly loans to the library's closing time. Being open after midnight is not unusual for academic libraries, and they may have different hourly loans such as for equipment and reserve items, so this could impact others that are also open late.
