I've just applied and pushed Henri-Damien's recent patch to fix bug 1782. The patch adds a new syspref called AddPatronLists that allows the administrator to specify how patron types and categories should be displayed in the patron add screen. Specifically, it seems to determin whether the categories should be organized by the top-level hard-coded type codes (Adult, Child, Staff, etc.), or whether the user-specified categories are the only ones that should be displayed. NOTE: This only patches the drop-down list when adding a patron, the memberentry.pl screen still groups the list of categories by the type selected, regardless of the syspref's value. I'd consider this a bug. However, this patch causes complete failure of memberentry.pl. When adding new patrons, the following error results, regardless of the value of the PatronLists syspref: Bad index while coercing array into hash at /home/jmf/repos/koha-rm-test.git/members/memberentry.pl line 151. The relevant lines in memberentry.pl are: 150 my $tmpborrowercategory=GetBorrowercategory($check_category); 151 $check_categorytype=$tmpborrowercategory->{'category_type'}; The problem is that it assumes that GetBorrowercategory always returns a hash, which it does not. This is a problem in and of itself, but futher digging reveals that a sub called 'checkuniquemember' is completely bogus, and may be the real cause of the problem (it attempts to prevent creation of patrons with the same name!!!) WARNING: These bugs are outstanding, and it's very likely that adding and editing patrons WILL FAIL after you apply these patches until the problems are resolved. Normally, I wouldn't push up a patch that had such catastrophic consequences, but I feel the best approach in this case is to push up a fix to the problem asap. So ... any volunteers to repair the damage and clean up this problematic area?
