[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Dumb question about circ setup

[Frances Dean McNamara]

Great.  Thanks.  We want to experiment with both methods on a small test db.

Hi Frances,

I believe there is a setting called <legacy_script_support> in
opensrf.xml which sets whether you wish to use the javascript or the
database rules.    I haven't looked at the database rules extensively,
but I believe that you can only use either the database rules or the
javascripts but not both.

There is some mild documentation of the database rules here:
http://svn.open-ils.org/trac/ILS/browser/trunk/Open-ILS/src/sql/Pg/100.circ_matrix.sql

SITKA uses the javascripts extensively, as we have different policies
for each site -- however we would like to switch to the database rules
once a UI is built to give our pilot sites control over their own
policies.

I'm still getting the default duration of 14 days for everybody, though.  Can someone point me in the direction of where to make my customizations work?  Thanks.
