Add a feature that allows to define ExpireReservesMaxPickUpDelayCharge
in circulation rules per specific items/patron categories.
When value not found in circulation rules it uses global
ExpireReservesMaxPickUpDelayCharge, as it was before this smart-rules
feature was introduced.
To check the feature after applying the patch:
1) Go to /cgi-bin/koha/admin/preferences.pl and set
ExpireReservesMaxPickUpDelay to allow.
1) Go to /cgi-bin/koha/admin/smart-rules.pl circulation rules table
and notice the newly added "Expire reserve charge" row.
2) In that row add numerical values to type/patron categories
that you will be using later to test this feature.
3) Prepare an item for our next step, pick a biblio that has item
with the same item type you altered in smart rules and check it out.
3) Place a hold on that item and set the expiration date as the
next day.
4) Check in it after that.
5) Do SQL request to change expiration date manually to "yesterday":
in "reserves" table, find the id of the hold that you placed and
"UPDATE reserves SET `expirationdate`='2020-07-19' WHERE
`reserve_id`=329;"
Or alternatively:
5) Wait for tomorrow, change server time or invent a time machine.
6) Run cancel_expired_holds.pl cron job.
7) Check that patron got charged in "accounting" left tab and
"transactions" upper tab: your patron should have debt of that amount
of fee you assigned in that rule
(/cgi-bin/koha/members/boraccount.pl?borrowernumber=...YourPatronID...)
8) You can repeat this with other rules and different
numbers/biblio/item types to check that different fees apply according
to smart rules.
9) If there's no matching smart rule or smart rule have an empty
string as a fee - global ExpireReservesMaxPickUpDelayCharge variable
value will be used.
10) But in case if matching rule has zero ("0") as a value - that
allows to have no-fee smart-rule results, as a feature.
IMPORTANT:
Smart-rules filters only applied to item-level holds when item-type
for items is known. If there's biblio-level hold, in that case global
ExpireReservesMaxPickUpDelayCharge value will be used).
