    Description:
    When a user logs in (with username and password) and views an item on loan, why does he/she see "request" next to the item?
    In contrast, if someone enters the Web OPAC as a guest (no username and password), he/she does not see "request".

    I want both guest and logged in user to see "request". If the user is a guest then when he clicks "request" he should get the login page

    Resolution:
    This functionality is done by configuration in the $data_tab/tab_hold_request.
    Removing the following line from $data_tab/tab_hold_request

    PRE check_hold_request_l

    you will get "request" next to item regardless of whether a user logged in or not.

    If you leave this line in $data_tab/tab_hold_request then only a logged in user will get "request" next to item.

    Additional Information

    hold request logged in user
