"Auto-Print" checkbox next to "Done" on the "Checkout" tab does not remember checked state between patron retrieval

[Srey Seng]

EG master (2014-01-31)

On earlier versions of Evergreen, the Auto-Print checkbox next to the Done button on the Checkout screen remembers the checked state between patron retrieval.

On master, the Auto-Print checkbox no longer remains checked in between patron retrieval.

I have confirmed this on my development system. The check box does not stay checked between patrons there. This is master as of 2014-01-27.

The check box does stay checked between patrons on our production clients. These were built from master as of 2013-12-08.

This makes it look like a recent change.

I found the bad commit. Turned out to be http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=Evergreen.git;a=commit;h=bb4a797010201d6f26156c9e921d78690f265e35 which came out of work in bug 1243280.

Reverting the commit fixes the problem for me and I confirmed with Jason that it was a mistake commit.

Pushed the revert action to master.

And also found and reverted it in the rel_2_5 branch as well...

This also affects the stickiness of the checkbox in the serials module. When batch receiving, the checkbox in the bottom right corner (Create Units for Received Items) used to remember its setting, and stay checked or not until manually changed. Upgraded from 2.3.4 to 2.5.2 yesterday, and now it doesn't do this.

Hooray that a fix is already in the works!

Here's how to hand-patch for those who need to do this:

On each of your Apache servers:

cd /openils/var/web/xul/server/OpenILS/
wget -O lp1275074.patch 'http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=Evergreen.git;a=patch;h=db7b99e8ccba2ebf81a345157de5a90ba5387626'
patch --dry-run global_util.js lp1275074.patch

If you see "patching file global_util.js" with no error reported, then do it for real with:

patch global_util.js lp1275074.patch

This patch ALSO fixes the stickiness of the checkbox for Flat-Text Editor in MARC Edit.
