Web Staff Client: Missing Print Functionality on Patron Form

[Terran McCanna]

On web staff client 2.12.1:

The patron registration / edit screen is lacking the Print button that the old staff client had. It is possible to print using the browser's print function, but much of the text is overlapped and unreadable.

See attachment for example comparing the old and new print results.

I've pushed up a branch here that should resolve this: http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/user/khuckins/lp1693036-patron-form-print-functionality

It adds a print button next to the Save button on the Patron Editor/Registration screen, and supplies a print template for workstation-side editing, as well as some documentation on how to edit the template. The print button gathers the patron in scope, so it will gather information from the fields.

Thanks, Kyle!!!

I can't test at the moment, but I will test next week!

I have tested this code and consent to signing off on it with my name, Terran McCanna, and my email address, <email address hidden>.

I've tested this and added a branch (user/gmcharlt/lp1693036_tested) that includes signoffs and a follow-up patch to ensure that daytime phone numbers are printed properly.

There's a pending question in #evergreen whether to merge just to master for inclusion in 3.1-rc or to also target 3.0.x. I'll hold off on merging into Dan Wells weighs in.

I tested Galen's branch and found a few small problems. Here's my sign-off branch, plus an additional commit on top:

[Dan Wells (dbw2)]

Looks good everyone! Pushed to master for inclusion in 3.1.

I don't have any particular opinion about backporting to 3.0.x, so leaving that alone for now.
