We set our expiration date in the patron category that we use for self registration. Ours is set to a month, but you set it to whatever you want there. Basically, staff are required to change the patron category to anything but self registration in order to save changes. We have a lot of validation we add through jquery. When the patron category is changed, it updates the expiration date. I'm not sure why you would require a field that you mark as unwanted. Turn the requirement off. You can't mark it as unwanted on the registration. It is automatically excluded as it is not something a patron would set. I hope that helps. ________________________________ Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2025 16:47:17 -0400 From: Paul Dokken <paul.dokken@jaars.org> To: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: [Koha] Patron Self Registration Message-ID: <CAFGey7Z5=-ejTj3fhLpto06gVe=VftiYS3HsKTWkH08nzNNn4w@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Our library has a lot of patrons that we want to allow to set an expiration date on their account when they set it up. We would like to have the staff be warned or automatically change the due date if it is past the expiration date. I manually set an expiration date on a patron and it gave a warning that the card expires on April 28th but it set the due date to May 5th. Can I set up a rule that will change the due date? Also, when I excluded the expiry date in the unwanted fields in the admin setting and checked it as mandatory the label showed up on the self registration page but there was no input box to select the date so there was no way to save a new patron. Any ideas on how to allow an expiration date to be set? -- *Paul Dokken* Information and Digital Technology System Administrator PO Box 248, Waxhaw, NC 28173 | jaars.org (c) 803.235.6861 | paul.dokken@jaars.org ------------------------------ Subject: Digest Footer _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz https://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha ------------------------------ End of Koha Digest, Vol 234, Issue 12 *************************************
