Sadly, the css change included in my email below has had a very unwelcome 
side-effect. It has also hidden / prevented access to still-wanted 
functionality elsewhere in the OPAC.

Our support company have come back with a much less aggressive fix. The removal 
of the css code and the addition of the following code to OPACUserJS appears to 
be much better:

if (window.location.href.indexOf("opac-suggestions.pl") > -1) {
    $("#selections-toolbar").hide();
  }

We have just addressed the exact same problem, and a lot more. We are in the 
process of opening up the purchase suggestions functionality and rolling it out 
to college library staff in our multi-site setup with some significant 
challenges. (Until now we have managed it a headquarters, and are keen to 
"delegate"!).

We see scope for improvements to the functionality and will be making 
suggestions separately. One challenge was here ALL acquisitions functionality 
is strictly limited and locked down to headquarters staff. The Manage 
Suggestions permission opens up Acquisitions and we have had to add some JQuery 
(shared with me at KohaCon19 in Dublin) to ensure that Manage Suggestions works 
for college librarians but they have ZERO access to Acquisitions. This has 
entailed listing authorised Acquisitions staff by username in the JQuery in 
IntranetUser.js file.

The ability for BOTH staff and users to delete suggestions was met with dismay 
here, as we want to report on all suggestions on a yearly basis. In the absence 
of an old_suggestions table we now prevent ***both staff and users*** from 
deleting suggestions once they are made. We will be asking our support company 
to truncate the suggestions table annually, partly  to address any fears about 
GDPR (data protection issues in Europe). Our support company have hidden the 
various delete buttons on the intranet and just yesterday I added the JQuery 
they provided to our Koha instance to hide the Delete button in the OPAC. We 
added the following lines to the OpacUserCSS system preference:

#myform > fieldset > input {
display:none;
}
#removeitems > a {
display: none;
}
#selections-toolbar {
display: none;
}
#suggestt > tbody > tr > td > input {
display: none;
}

So far we have not seen anything else hidden by this tweak. It appears to work 
perfectly.

Subject: [Koha] Deletion of books from purchase suggestion

Hello
Can we restrict patrons to delete the record of those books which is 
recommended by him/her but now it is available/ordered?. It will help to 
maintain the records of the requester permanently in the system. Presently 
system allows patrons to delete the books online which they have request 
although it is ordered/available in the library.


With Regards,
