Can I change the order of the fields on the add/edit patron form?

Up to Table of Contents

This FAQ applies to: 3.0, 3.1, 3.2

Although it's not possible to change the order of the fields in the patron record so that all required fields are at the top, it is possible to hide fields that the library never intends to use. You can do this by entering javascript in the staff client system preference "intranetuserjs".

For example, if you wish to hide the Salutation, Initials, Other name and Street number and Street type fields, you need to enter the following:

$(document).ready(function(){
       $("#entryform #btitle").parent().remove();
       $("#entryform #initials").parent().remove();
       $("#entryform #othernames").parent().remove();
       $("#entryform #streetnumber").parent().remove();
       $("#entryform #streettype").parent().remove();
});

You need a line for each field that you wish to hide. The field names come from the HTML source code and are generally the same as the table column names, but not in all cases.
