Dates when making hold requests on Web OPAC

• Article Type: General
• Product: Aleph

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.
