We've got a question. We've been using the Request a Library Card form in the Evergreen OPAC. We have customized it a bit. I recently received a question about adding the Parent/Guardian field to the registration form. Apparently there is a new project
that will be happening in our department, and staff are expecting an influx of registrations for juveniles. So they wanted to include the Parent/Guardian field on the online registration.</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
I asked our consortium if they could add this field to our form, and after investigating, they reported that they could not do this. Their explanation:</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
"We tried adding that field to your registration page on the development version of your site, but the change caused a system failure when we tried to create a patron. We looked into the reason why we were unable to add this field and here's what we came up
with:
<p>When someone goes to register a card through this interface, the results are sent to a database table called "User Stage". This table closely mirrors the "User" table so that when a staff member registers the "User Stage", the data is dumped directly from
this table into the "User" table. However, updates to the "User" table don't always make it onto "User Stage", and that is the case with the guardian field. The only way to get this to work properly would be to change the schema of the database to add this
piece of data on the "User Stage" table. "</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>This is surprising to us. We are not a public library, and have had few requests to register juveniles so far. But since Evergreen was designed for public libraries, we were quite surprised to find that we can't easily add the Parent/Guardian field to
the OPAC registration form.</p>

<p>I checked Launchpad and it looks like it has already been listed as a bug (<a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1897103" id="m_8895284220927998204gmail-m_-5441799714913216935m_-5341415815854697001LPlnk" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1897103</a>), although there's not much heat on it yet. Is this really
not a problem for most public libraries? How do you all deal with the problem? When registering juveniles, do they all have to use an offline form to register?<br>
