[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Circ Modifier Count Groups

[Joan Kranich]

Hi Tom

When I look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/876517 it shows a milestone of Evergreen 2.2.0alpha2 for the Circ Modifier Limits are too limiting.  Do you think it is likely that this new design/fix will be in 2.2?
Thanks.

Those are very limiting in their current form. The current system only

counts checkouts at the circ lib, its descendants, and its ancestors.

It also only works if the rule is applied to the most specific rule of

those that apply to the circulation when fallthrough is in use.



I coded a new version, however, that is awaiting review. It was

designed to work well with fallthrough and support much more varied

configurations:
