lending: if book is not available to borrow, offer to add it to "my books to borrow" list

[mangtronix]

If user tries to borrow a book that is checked out, provide link to add it to a list of books they want to borrow (similar to a "wish list").

Not sure we should create a list for people automatically. I think it's fine to just present the normal "Add to List" UI widget there.

See 2 mocks:
- add to list widget + link to browse again
- if you add to a list, you get an AJAXed confirmation, and new links to the list and browse...

Add to List

Added to List - confirmation

Lance - can you pls mark-up?

I added in the code as-is, but it uses the existing List Widget which was designed to be an all-in-one listing feature for use on the regular pages, so it will always perform the same services (display any lists the book is on, display a header including a link to the lists, etc., then display a post-add of the display with the drop-down intact and the new list listing displayed) so Anand (or someone) will need to construct/alter the existing widget to look/act like the above comps.

The code on the page simply formats the content as required. It's hidden under an Admin-only envelope and if you add the book to a list, it will actually function, but is incapable of displaying the resulting acknowledgment as designed in this bug.

Anand - can you please hook this up? We'll need it in place by the end of next week.

[George (george-archive)]

Anand - Please see if you can hook this up THIS WEEK.

Note - it looks like the transaction of adding a checked-out edition to a list is working, it's just the confirmation on the /borrow template that needs to be tied in.

Here's an example of the display now: http://openlibrary.org/books/OL6050212M/Simple_cooking_for_the_epicure/borrow

(Though, not sure how long this loan will be outstanding. According to /admin/loans, this PDF loan was checked out 7 hours ago, but is still not downloaded.)

/admin/loans still isn't updating automatically. You can click the "refresh" button next to a loan to to go to the debugging page which first refreshes the loan status. Keeps getting pushed off.
