No way to renew a book? about vufind HOT 5 CLOSED

By default, VuFind does not allow items to be renewed. I changed the config/vufind/config.ini file to allow it:

; Determines if item can be renewed or not. Options are true or false.
; default is false
;renewals_enabled = false
renewals_enabled = true

I do notice that the actual Renew function (via XCNCIP2 driver) fails, though. That's a separate issue.

I just noticed that the ncip server seems to actually renew items that are renewable, but that the server keeps the list of error messages in memory for ever, e.g., if you generate a renew error, then successfully renew an item, on the successful renewal attempt you will see the error message from the previous failure. This needs to get fixed obviously (the ncip server).

I fixed the bug with error messages staying in memory.

I think we are now ready to test whether or not Renew actually works or not.

Uh-oh, I just noticed a bug in the NCIP message in VuFind2's Driver (XCNCIP2.php). It was missing AgencyId, e.g.,

ns1:ItemId
ns1:AgencyIdUIUdb/ns1:AgencyId
ns1:ItemIdentifierValue9115612/ns1:ItemIdentifierValue
/ns1:ItemId

This is necessary for consortial environments (and not harmful for single institution environments).
