Bug 24239: Let the ILL module set ad hoc hard due dates
The Swedish Libris ILL backend lets librarians store a specific due date
when an ILL loan is received.
This patch set adds a new date_due column to the illrequets table that can be
used by the different backends to store a due date. If an illrequest has the
date due set, it will be used when the item is checked out instead of the calculation
using the circulation conditions.
To test:
- Apply the patch and make sure the atomic database update is run
- Use the FreeForm backend to add one ILL request. Take note of the
illrequest_id of the request you created. We refer to this as
"x" below.
- Connect a biblio (with biblionumber y), that has an item with a
barcode, to the ILL request directly in the database:
UPDATE illrequests SET biblio_id = y WHERE illrequest_id = x;
- Next we set the due date, this would normally be done by or from the backend.
UPDATE illrequests SET date_due = "2023-01-01" WHERE illrequest_id = x;
- Go to circulation and issue the barcode of the item to the
patron associated with the FreeForm ILL request. Verify that the
loan gets a due date of 2023-01-01.
- Ideally: return the item and issue it again through SIP2 and SCO,
and verify that the due date is still 2023-01-01.
- Verify that there are no regressions, so that regular calculation
of due dates still work.
- prove t/db_dependent/Circulation.t
