[30072] Add more holds hooks
This development adds plugin hooks for several holds actions. The hook is called after_hold_action and has two parameters
- action: containing a string that represents the action, possible values: fill, cancel, suspend and resume.
- payload: A hashref containing a hold key, which points to the Koha::Hold object.
[24001] Cannot edit card template
This fixes errors that caused creating and editing patron card templates and printer profiles to fail.
[30354] AUTO_RENEWALS_DGST notices are not generated if patron set to receive notice via SMS and no SMS notice defined
If an SMS notice is not defined for AUTO_RENEWALS_DGST and a patron has selected to receive a digest notification by SMS when items are automatically renewed, it doesn't generate a notice (even though the item(s) is renewed). This fixes the issue so that an email message is generated.
[30628] Batch borrower modifications only affect the current page
This fixes the batch patron modification tool (Tools > Patrons and circulation > Batch patron modification) so that the changes for all selected patrons are modified. Before this, only the patrons listed on the current page were modified.
[30224] Wrong important field shown in cataloguing validation
Sponsored by Education Services Australia SCIS
This patch fxes the cataloguing validation messages to show the correct tag, when the whole field is important (not just a subfield).
