https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17550 --- Comment #8 from Chris Kirby <chris.kirby@ilsleypubliclibrary.org> --- Hi Theodoros, I tested and now it seems to work. I am new to this, but it looks like the commit message may need updating per https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Commit_messages. For example, the bug number description needs reformatting. And your test plan needs to be included. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

It would be useful if patron INITIALS were also displayed, like this: Surname, Firstname INITIALS (CardNumber) Address City Zipcode Country To Test: 1) In the staff interface, /cgi-bin/koha/circ/circulation.pl, start typing an existing patron (last)name in the "Checkout" textarea. 2) Suggestions are provided, surname and firstname formatted as plain text, WITHOUT the patron Initials being displayed. 3) Apply the patch. 4) Repeat step 1. 5) Observe that the suggestions display surname and first name formatted in bold and the the Initials displayed in italics. Signed-off-by: Chris Kirby <chris.kirby@ilsleypubliclibrary.org> Works as advertised. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17550 --- Comment #11 from Theodoros Theodoropoulos <theod@lib.auth.gr> --- Thanks Kris for your help. I'm also fairly new to this, so all feedback is welcome! ps1. I was about to write a simple test plan today, but you got me :) Let's hope it will now get a better chance of passing QA... ps2. As for my frugal commit message body, I would have gladly put more details, but I thought it would be in vain, as it seems the Koha team uses git as a repo only and Bugzilla for everything else. Having said that, I'll try to be more descriptive next time! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

To me it's not consistent to display the initials in only one place, I guess the problem is the same on the other patron search results. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Theodoros, do you want me to change the name and email address used in the patch? Hmmm... What is the common practice? To use the github (ie almost 'dummy') email or the bugzilla one?

This value is not used anywhere else, why do you want to display it there? To me it's not consistent to display the initials in only one place, I guess the problem is the same on the other patron search results. Well, this is the no.1 place where our librarians search manually for patrons to quickly check-out books to (if they don't have their library card with the barcode with them). If they manage to choose the proper patron from this screen (by verifying also the patron Initials -or the Father's name) they avoid unnecessary clicks and possibly-wrong checkouts. The initials are also displayed in the Patron Details screen, so it's not 'only' there... That said, indeed it would be better if this "Initials" information was concatenated in the "Name" column of the patron result list, but I suppose this would be a big change in Koha behavior and should(?) be documented... If, however, you consider that approach to be more consistent, I'll take a look and see how it could be done.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17550 --- Comment #17 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de> --- I can confirm that the inititals and other new/old name fields are currently not shown in the autocomplete. They also not show as part of the long name form in the patron account, but only in the labeled field. I believe we should not just keep adding to the display. Maybe with all the new fields added to the patron form (alias, middle name and soon also preferred name?) we might want to make this configurable? For the email address. The patches have: From: sbujam <sbujam@users.noreply.github.com> The mail address and name will be used to create the release notes and to show your name on the dashboard. We don't ask for a specific email address, but it should be the one you use. Same for the name: it should be the one you want to have displayed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
