Jeniffer, I work at an academic library an we have set up EG to use our student's ID numbers as the default password, though I don't remember right now how it was done by ESI. I remember it being something simple, I am sure somebody else here knows how.
We then customized 3 TPAC templates files to make the login form explain to students how to log in. The files are found in this directory, in a typical EG install /openils/var/templates/opac/parts/login/ 1) form.tt2 - this file lets you customize most of the login form 2) help.tt2 - this file lets you customize the display of information on how patrons can get help with the form: "Visit our FAQs section for answers to common questions about how to use your account." 3) password_hint.tt2 - this file lets you customize the message concerning what their password is set to: "If this is your first time logging in, please enter the last 4 digits of your phone number. Example: 0926" Good luck, Yamil On Tue, Feb 3, 2015 at 11:17 AM, Walz, Jennifer <[email protected]> wrote: > All – > > > > Ok.
