Hi Vufinders, today I was talking to my colleagues from the circulation desk and an idea aroused: We don't want our users to place a hold while being on the campus. Is someone using an IP-check-based "place hold" function? What would be a good starting point to work on this? thanks in advance, Christian |

In VuFind 1.x, the easiest way to implement this would probably be to modify web/CatalogConnection.php to put IP detection into the getHoldsMode() and getTitleHoldsMode() methods so that they return "none" when an on-campus IP is detected. However, you might also want to add some logic elsewhere to warn users that they are not seeing holds because they are on campus... otherwise you may cause some confusion if people can only place holds from home. Also, if you have any users on a VPN, that might complicate matters too. - Demian ________________________________________ From: Christian Dabrowski [dab...@fh...] Sent: Friday, November 15, 2013 8:45 AM To: vufind-tech Subject: [VuFind-Tech] V1.4: Place hold Hi Vufinders, today I was talking to my colleagues from the circulation desk and an idea aroused: We don't want our users to place a hold while being on the campus.

My instinct runs against this feature idea. In practical terms, the student you are trying to remove functionality from would just access the site with their phone via cellular carrier. These would not be identifiable as originating "on campus". --Joe On Fri, Nov 15, 2013 at 8:45 AM, Christian Dabrowski < dab...@fh...> wrote: > Hi Vufinders, > > today I was talking to my colleagues from the circulation desk and an > idea aroused: > > We don't want our users to place a hold while being on the campus.

Hi all! Christian: do you allow holds on items that have at least one copy available (not on loan)? If you disable that, you'll your problem solved, right?

Hi Vufinders, thanks for the hints and thoughts. Although there is the possibility to pass by the IP-check via smartphones, I think this might be a good solution for us. Of course we would display a message warning the users why they can't place a hold. Filipe, I suppose you mean a function in Aleph, right?
