[Koha] new patron page customization, default library loation

We do a little bit of this with javascript. In System Preferences look
for the intranetuserjs system pref. Then use a little jquery to hide
lines based on the ID of the input field. Paste the following into
intranetuserjs:

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


That bit of code looks for an element with ID "entryform," (the patron
entry form) and looks for an element with ID "initials" inside the
form. Then it removes that element's "parent," the list item
containing that form field.

You'll have to view the source of the page to find out what the input
field's ID is. For example:

<input type="text" value="" size="20" name="othernames" id="othernames"/>

If you used "othernames" in the code above it would hide the line
labeled "Other name." Note that you can add as many lines as you want:

$(document).ready(function(){
        $("#entryform #initials").parent().remove();
        $("#entryform #othernames").parent().remove();
        $("#entryform #altcontactaddress1").parent().remove();
        $("#entryform #altcontactaddress2").parent().remove();
        $("#entryform #altcontactaddress3").parent().remove();
        $("#entryform #altcontactzipcode").parent().remove();
});
