Account Portal: Staff and promoted patrons users not seeing My Bookshelf immediately upon login

Staff and promoted patron users with showcase roles need access to My Bookshelf until showcase administration is added to Account Portal, but the My Bookshelf bar is not displaying to these users upon login or after refreshing a page.

The Bookshelf bar will appear if staff navigate to another page within Discover, for example by performing a search or clicking on a title.

This issue started with the February 2026 Hotfix release. See also VEGAENG-4079.

Default Collection and custom domain

When a patron has a Default Collection site configured and loads the library's custom domain URL, Discover builds the URL for the collection site redirection by prepending the collection site prefix and a hyphen to the beginning of the custom domain URL.  If the library’s custom domain for the collection site follows a different pattern, the redirect URL will not resolve, and the patron cannot access Discover.

The patron can access Discover again (and unset their Default Collection) by using the library's iiivega.com domain.

Account Portal: Address display issues (Sierra only)

When patrons view their Account tab, city/state/zip fields don’t display on the screen. When editing their account, city/state/zip show in line 2.

My Bookshelf used the patron's entire, raw address in read-only displays. Editing patron home address in Discover has always been complicated, due to how Sierra stores addresses, but many libraries do not allow patrons to edit their own address and would not have seen that issue.

My Bookshelf appears for patrons without showcase permission

My Bookshelf now no longer includes patron account information (the "My Bookshelf" tab). The Bookshelf should now only be available for staff patrons with showcase permissions, because showcase management has not yet been moved to the Account Portal.

Patrons can now access their account information by clicking on their name in the top right hand corner and then clicking on the "Account Portal" button.

Account Portal: Bills/Fines page fine payment issues

Libraries are reporting a number of issues with this page:

• "Minimum online payment is $ 1.00" always displays regardless of configuration
• Payment Note does not display
• Libraries with Payment Type "Other": Blue "Pay Fine" button goes to the configured Payment URL, but the button becomes gray/inactive once any fines are checked.
• Libraries without fine payment configured: similar to Other, but the "Fine" button does nothing when clicked

Can't remove empty format group from showcase list

If a library adds a format group of vendor records via Econtent Management to a showcase list, and later those vendor records are hidden as in VDIS-34207, staff are unable to remove that entry from the showcase list. No errors display, but the entry does not disappear from the showcase.

Browsers cannot translate Discover

When a user users browser translation tools to translate Discover into a language the library does not offer, the page is not translated.

Duplicate titles on author page, one of which links to an empty resource card

If a library both ingests vendor records via Econtent Management and also creates ILS records for those same resources, Discover suppresses display of the vendor record. However, if the vendor record doesn't roll up with the ILS record (which could be for expected reasons, like different title data), a separate format group will exist for the vendor record but will not display any format tabs or edition information.

The empty format group doesn't appear in search results, but it manifests in two ways:

• If the records have the same author, the author page displays links to both format groups
• While typing the title in the search box, title suggestions include the titles from both format groups (the ILS-record format group that displays, and the vendor record that is suppressed)

Social media sharing omits some accented characters

When a patron shares a record to social media, some accented characters are omitted from the record information in the social media post. Examples of affected characters include "å", "ä", "ö", and "ü". Other characters (for example "â" and "é") do appear in social media sharing.

Cannot delete collection or kiosk site that has payment configuration

When a kiosk or collection site has a payment connection configured at the site level, that site cannot be deleted. The error displayed in Staff Admin is "There was an error deleting your site."

To delete the site, first edit the payment connection and click the trash can to delete the payment connection. Then you will be able to delete the site as a whole.

Pay Fines button uses HTTP url, not HTTPS (Safari displays an error when patrons attempt to pay fines)

When a patron clicks "Pay Fines" in Discover, the URL that opens is (plain-text) HTTP, not (secure) HTTPS. In most browsers, the page automatically redirects to HTTPS, but Safari in particular may not redirect and may instead display an error as if Safari is unable to connect to the server.

Plain HTTP is increasingly deprecated, and we should be using HTTPS consistently.

Checked-out items with another status display only "Checked out"

If a checked-out item has a status code (for example "BILLED"), Discover displays only "Checked out" as the status, with the due date.

Showcases in collection sites include materials with non preferred locations

"Resource ... is not available" for OverDrive checkouts or holds

If a patron has a checkout for OverDrive material with an ID that is not in Vega's database, Discover displays "Resource for checkout <UUID> is not available" in the patron's bookshelf. A similar message displays for holds with unrecognized IDs.

This issue has been reported by libraries who do not load all OverDrive records into their ILS (either manually or with econtent management), or whose ILS records for OverDrive materials lack the correct 037 data.

Custom Links unexpectedly reordered

Saving edits to Custom Links unexpectedly reverses the order in which the links are displayed.

Work around this issue in one of two ways:

• Arrange links in opposite order (e.g. if you want A B C, use C B A).
• Arrange links in intended order (A B C) and save twice.

Confusing error message when blocked patron attempts hold

When a patron with a manual block (MBLOCK field set to any value other than '-') attempts to place a hold, Discover displays a "Backend service response error" message. This message looks like the issue is with the software, not with the patron's record.

Clicking on "Next" stays at the bottom of the search results page

In Chrome or Edge, when a patron clicks on a page number or "Next" at the bottom of search results, the view remains at the bottom of the page. The patron must scroll up to see the top of the page.

In Firefox, the display lands at the top of the next search results page.

Discover displays pickup location labels from Branches instead of Hold Pickup Locations

If a pickup location code's has different labels in the Hold Pickup Locations table and the Branches table (e.g. "Main Circulation Desk" in Hold Pickup Locations vs "Main Library" in Branches). In addition, pickup locations are sorted alphabetically by Branches description instead of in Hold Pickup Locations table order.

Changes to OPAC MSG in Sierra items don't automatically appear in Discover

If staff change an item record's OPAC MSG field in Sierra, the new OPAC MSG value is not automatically sent to Discover. Modifying the bib record and then running a manual extraction for the bib's modified date will cause Discover to show the item's updated OPAC MSG.

Differences in diacritic encoding prevent bibs from rolling up together

If two bib records have the same title except for a difference in diacritic encoding, they will not roll up in Vega. For example, if e-acute (é) is coded "\u00E9" (single-character Unicode) vs "e\u0301" ("e" followed by Unicode acute accent), these titles will not roll up together even though the displayed characters are visually indistinguishable.

This issue can also affect author fields or text that omits the diacritic. For example, "John le Carré" and "John le Carre" will not roll up.
