I have completed the patron category description and it is correctly showing in pdf file from patron card creator. anyone that needs help for patron category description is not showing in pdf please do the following. In *C4/Patroncards/Lib.pm *file. search for line "*$get_branch = 1 if grep{$_ eq 'branchcode'} @fields;*" after, add following lines my $get_patroncategory = 0; $get_patroncategory = 1 if grep{$_ eq 'categorycode'} @fields; search for line "*return $borrower_attributes;*" before this line, add following lines if ($get_patroncategory) { $query = "SELECT description FROM categories WHERE categorycode = ?"; $sth = C4::Context->dbh->prepare($query); $sth->execute($borrower_attributes->{'categorycode'}); if ($sth->err) { warn sprintf('Database returned the following error: %s', $sth->errstr); return 1; } $borrower_attributes->{'categorycode'} = $sth->fetchrow_hashref()->{'description'}; } Thanks for the help Michael, it really helps me. At least I do not have to track this file. On Fri, Sep 22, 2023 at 10:31 AM Zahid Iqbal <zahidiqbal.isb@gmail.com> wrote:
Thanks Michael that will be very helpful. I will look into the code and get back to you. For now i am working on picture uploading (restrict image not more than 4KB and not more then 150 Height Width dimension) so the database does not get heavy.

If you are looking at the code, look at C4/Patroncards/Lib.pm in the get_borrower_attributes() function. That's where the branchcode to branchname conversion is handled, I figure that would be the place to do a categorycode to category description conversion.

thanks for the response. i have checked the branchcode, it is displaying correctly in patron card as you told. 👍 but i cannot find any solution for categorycode. I will still look into code. Maybe I will find a solution for that.

I have a layout using "<sort2>" in the text box for field 2. Looks like the code will change "<branchcode>" into the library name. No such luck in current code for patron category though.
