[Koha] queries in koha

[Fischer, Katrin]

Hi,

please don't change the database structure in Koha as this will cause all kinds of problems for you. If you need the field to be directly in the borrowers table, you could try relabeling it in the interface using jQuery (http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/JQuery_Library). Another option is using patron attributes, that allow you to configure additional fields for patron records in a nice way (http://manual.koha-community.org/3.12/en/patscirc.html#patronattributetypes).

Hope this helps,

Katrin
