[Koha] Patron/Member management using npl theme/templates

[Adam Thick]

Hi everyone,
    before I begin hacking my npl theme templates to fix a few problems 
I'm experiencing in the patron management section I was wondering if 
anyone else had come up against the following items or had fixed them, 
or am I missing something about the function of the patron management 
section?

Adding a new institution takes me to the patron screen with a few 
missing items ( First Name, Second Name, etc... ) which are replaced 
with Institution Name. I enter the required info and then hit 'Add This 
Patron', I'm then taken to a screen which is for adding new 
institutions. So I fill in the information there too...

What I'm wondering is which one is the right one to enter info into? is 
this a bug? The default templates do not reflect this functionality so 
I'm inclined to think it is. Does anyone else use the npl templates? 
They look nice, and I'm happy to edit the patron templates if something 
is a miss here, but if someone else has a fix already I'm also happy to 
remain lazy.

It is also a bit confusing because institutional membership is reliant 
on creating the category 'Institution' and uses 'I' on creation of a 
member to figure out if it's a new member or institution... now wierd 
things happen if I create a borrower category called 'Individual' ;o).

Cheers for any assistance,

Adam Thick.
