    Dates when making hold requests on Web OPAC

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 16.02

    Description:
    When a user makes a hold request he/she is asked to define the "period of interest". This is in the page item-hold-request-tail.
    We do not want users to change the first date, but I do not know how to prevent this option from appearing.
    How to define FROM DATE into a non-editable text-box populated with the current date for hold request ?

    Resolution:
    We suggest to use the following defintion in the item-hold-request-tail page:
    <td class="td2" nowrap>Period of interest from $3600</td>
    <td class="td2" nowrap>
    <input size=10
    maxlength=8
    input type="hidden"
    name=from"
    value=$3600">
    This will display the "from" date as part of the textual caption on a screen:
    "Period of interest from 20050615 to " leaving the "to" date editable.
