This work added a way to configure the layout of birthdate fields in the patron self-registration screen (/eg/opac/register). This is controlled by a new library setting, Patron Self-Reg. Date of Birth Order, which accepts as values “MDY”, “YDM”, “DMY” or other configurations.
The relevant library settings should be set as follows:
Allow Patron Self-Registration - CONS - true
Require dob field on patron registration - CONS - true
Patron Self-Reg. Date of Birth Order - CONS - MDY
The first two settings need to be TRUE in order for DOB fields to display in patron self-registration.
This work adds another new library setting, Hide Username field in Patron Self-Reg, which is currently set to TRUE at CONS on the test server.
If you wish to test either of these settings at different levels of the org hierarchy, you will need to load an org-specific version of the OPAC using the locg parameter, for example:
BR1: /eg/opac/home?locg=4
SL1: /eg/opac/home?locg=8
BR2: /eg/opac/home?locg=5
BR3: /eg/opac/home?locg=6
etc.
Make sure to delete the existing setting values for CONS and then re-set them at the appropriate org unit level.
Once you have added your patrons through Self-Registration, you can view them in the Pending Patrons interface and load them and save them in the Patron Editor.
