We use custom sections on our memberentry.pl form. These are not required for all patron categories, so we use jquery to hide the redundant elements - this means the staff do not waste time filling in unneeded sections. We do this by seeking the patron categorycode in the URL, and then we show/hide the elements as required. This still works when adding a new patron, as the categorycode is passed in the URL. This no longer works when editing an existing patron, as only the borrowernumber is passed in the URL. It seems that Bug 25031 removed the categorycode from the URL when editing a patron. Is there any chance of reinstating it, please?
Sorry, Bug 25301
Hi Sally, couldn't you pick the category code from the "Category" dropdown list?
I'm working through doing this with the select box value with Sally.. so I think we can close this issue here :)
