Description Nicole C. Engard 2010-07-06 20:28:04 UTC
When you try to check out an item that is on hold for someone else the wording of the message is confusing: 

  "Item is on hold for 2010-05-13 : Jordan Alford (23529000050113)"

It should instead read:

  "Item is on hold for Jordan Alford (23529000050113) since 2010-05-13"

or whatever the date is that's listed - but right now it looks like it's on hold for the date ...

Proposed fix

This patch improves the phrasing of several messages by breaking the message variable into distinct parts for more natural-sounding warnings when:
    
    - Checking out an item on hold for another patron
    - Checking out an item which is waiting for another patron
    - Checking out an item which is checked out to another patron
    - Checking out an item which is checked out to this patron
    - Checking out to a patron who has too many checked out
    
I would appreciate special attention to my changes to the TooMany function in Circulation.pm to make sure I handled it correctly.
