Allowing patrons to set their passwords during self-registration
Hello, everyone! I was hoping I could get some help or input from the list about an issue our library is experiencing. We use Koha 17.05. We allow patrons to self-register an account, and their passwords are generated by Koha and shown to them after they click on the e-mail verification link as part of the registration process. With bug 15343 having been incorporated as of version 16.05 (https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15343), we wanted to switch over to having patrons select their own passwords during self-registration. I have followed the instructions outlined as part of the bug's test plan, but I cannot get this to work – Koha keeps ignoring the user-supplied password and generates a random password. What I do is I remove "password" from the PatronSelfRegistrationBorrowerUnwantedField preference and add "password" to the PatronSelfRegistrationBorrowerMandatoryField preference since we want to make this a required field. I'll then go to the self-registration form, fill out all of the required fields, including the password fields that are now marked as required, and wait for the self-registration verification e-mail. When I click on the link in the e-mail, I'm shown my new username and a new, random password – not the one I had entered in the form! I've tried turning off the PatronSelfRegistrationPrefillForm preference in case that was an issue, but in those cases, I can only assume a random password was generated because I still can't login with the password I supplied in the form. Any thoughts on what I might be missing or what could be the issue? I'd appreciate any input! Thank you, Arturo Longoria Reference Librarian/Web Manager Texas State Law Library
Hi Arturo, have you been able to solve this? It should work with the configuration you described. If it's still an issue, please consider filing a bug report on http://bugs.koha-community.org Katrin On 29.11.2017 15:18, Arturo Longoria wrote:
