Hi,

a good first step would be to file an enhancement request as a new bug on bugzilla. I did some searching and couldn't find one about adding the patron category description.

If you are looking at the code, look at C4/Patroncards/Lib.pm in the get_borrower_attributes() function.  That's where the branchcode to branchname conversion is handled, I figure that would be the place to do a categorycode to category description conversion.

thanks for the response. 

i have checked the branchcode, it is displaying correctly in patron card as you told. 👍

but i cannot find any solution for categorycode. I will still look into code. Maybe I will find a solution for that.

I have a layout using "<sort2>" in the text box for field 2.  Looks like the code will change "<branchcode>" into the library name.  No such luck in current code for patron category though.
