That’s a great point, Bill. We will have to remember to add that
question to the list in our brains.
I’ve been looking at your pre-registration page. (I love the addition
of the PRE). I see that you added the ID fields. I might follow-up
with you later if I decide to add custom fields, too.
That particular addition required us to add the ident_value column into
the staging.user_stage table, but staff like not having to re-key those
values.
Can you customize the message that appears after registration saying
“Registration successful! Please see library staff to complete your
registration.” ? I don’t like that it says success, since the patron
isn’t done yet. I want something that says “Almost done!”
That string is in the following template file: /templates/opac/register.tt2

Beyond a custom form gathering a few extra bits of information, today
we're using most of the stock self-reg code.
We do run a query from cron to clean up leftover users after 30 days,
but that's about it.

Holly,
You might talk to Bill Ott about this. GRPL did some pretty cool
stuff with patron self-registration.

I’m getting ready to set this up for our library (single branch,
no consortium). We are running 2.5.2.
The instructions are pretty clear on where all the settings are
(thanks to the doc. author!)… I really just wanted to get feedback
from libraries who have implemented this, to see if there were
problems that occurred during set up or after going live. Dos and
Don’ts, lessons learned, how long you keep pending registrations, etc.
It’s a procedure that appears straight-forward, which makes me
suspicious! Thanks in advance for your comments!
