[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Display Holds Queue Position in TPAC?

[Lindsay Stratton]

We are running 2.2 and the TPAC, and hold queue position does display. I don't know how it is configured, but I think it is pretty much default behavior - we have not customized any of that display, at any rate. 


In the patron account > items on hold list queue position is in the Status column and looks like "Waiting for copy / 21 hold on 41 circulating copies." 


Screen shot here: http://plum.pls-net.org/twiki/bin/view/Evergreen/OpacMyAccountHolds 


FWIW, the queue position value *appears* to be static, indicates the number of holds placed before your hold, and does not adjust as other holds are filled. It certainly does not have any relationship to hold fulfillment (unless, I guess, one is using first-in-first-out hold fulfillment!) 

Hope this helps.

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Display Holds Queue Position in TPAC? 

Hello, 


We just upgraded to Evergreen 2.3 and in doing so moved from the old JSOPAC to the TPAC. In the old OPAC we had been able to display the holds queue position in "My Account" by modifying "myopac.js" (changing "var showHoldQueuePosition = false" to "true"). Is there any possible way to show the queue position for patrons in the TPAC? I understand that there are potentially issues with the accuracy of the queue position, but our patrons are very anxious to have this functionality available to them. 


Thanks for any help,
