Patron detail screen - under "More" option for Update Child to Adult Patron - is a working feature BUT there is not any type of signal - pop-up box, note, etc. to tell staff that the birth date has been reached for the update to take place.

reassigning since this can be probably be done by Owen as a template edit.

We probably need a syspref to indicate the age that a child turns into an adult.  I'm sure it differs by library and by country.

When you configure patron categories there is an "upper age limit." I assume this is the age after which such a patron could be "upgraded." Thus you'd have to have a routine that calculated the patron's age based on their birth date and compared it to the the upper age limit for that patron category. If the patron had exceeded that limit the could level up.

Not quite a template-only task, particularly since this check will have to be built into any page which includes the patron-toolbar.inc or members-toolbar.inc.

Ah.  I had forgotten about the upper-age limit in the borrower definitions.  That would work.  But your right, it is still a daunting task.

I think a cron script would be a good solution here. Pass it a starting patron category, a new category, and an age range and the script will update patron categories on a nightly basis.

Hi Kyle, 
I think Liz wrote something like that - it's on bug 7157.

I think that's right on the money. Thanks!
