Web Staff Client - Non-Cataloged Circulations

[Terran McCanna]

In the 2.11 web client:

I can successfully check out non-cataloged items to a patron account through the web client (and I can verify that they are registered to the account by looking at it through the 2.11 xul client), but they do not appear on the Non-Cataloged Circulations tab in the web client.

Hi Terran,

Did you try refreshing the patron account? I tested this on 2.11 and on master. In both cases, I had to refresh the patron account to see the non-cataloged circs. Let me know if that works for you.

I would like to see the non-cataloged circs update immediately without refresh as circs for barcoded items are.

[Terran McCanna (tmccanna)]

Kathy - No, I didn't try refreshing. And yes, I agree they should update the screen immediately just as cataloged items do.

confirmed in 2.11 & 2.12 -- refresh needed to display new noncat circs

Testing code from bug #1635737 I noticed this issue as well. I believe the code is already trying to display the non-cataloged items, but other code along the way is failing, down in the work log tracking:

angular.js:14199 TypeError: Cannot read property 'family_name' of undefined

    at Object.service.munge_resp_data (circ.js:290)

Well, that was a drastic oversimplification. There were a number of issues to address, not the least of which is that it didn't do what I thought it did. I've pushed a fix:

http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/user/berick/lp1642042-webstaff-noncat-worklog

From the commit:

Update non-cat counts in the patron summary side bar and show the full set of non-cat circs in the Non-Cataloged Circulations tab as non-cat circs occur in the patron checkout interface.

Consistent with the XUL client, avoid updating tab-level (i.e. "total") 'items out' counts with non-cat circs.

Adds a new work log action for 'noncat_checkout' so the correct data can be extracted. As with the XUL client, this appears in the work log as a 'checkout' with no copy.

Pushed to master and rel_2_12. Thanks, Bill!
