Explanation from Elkin on the mailing list (to be reviewed):

For borrowing to work, DVDs need to have a DiskID.

The borrow manager has two distinct features. The most simple one (from user perspective) is that one can click when viewing the movie entry on “[ Ask to borrow ]” to send an email to the owner of the movie requesting this movie. You need multiuser to be enabled for this to work.

The second part is that the owner can click, while viewing the movie, on the button “borrow”. This will lead to a form “DiskID XXXX is available. Borrow to:”. Fill out anything you want here to remember who you borrowed the movie to. I am not sure what rights a user needs to be able to borrow a movie, I have all rights, my users don`t (i can borrow, they can request). Movies will then show: “NOT AVAILABLE lent to XXX”.

Then every movie marked as borrowed will show as a different color in the browse mode. By clicking on the “borrow” button again, a movie can be “returned”.

If you are logged in as a different user to the one who owns the movie in the database AND email addresses have been entered for the owner, then you will get a request link which emails the owner. This feature is available only in multiuser mode.

You must be using DiskID for this feature to work. Enable the DiskID in the configuration. Also, note that the first DVD in the database needs the DiskID to be set manually (you can put 0001, for example).
