Patron Self-registration Entry Form
Command link: /selfreg
HTML document: selfreg.html
This form controls the display of the Patron Self-registration Entry Form. Using this form, the patron enters specified personal information and submits it to register with the library. If this file exists, the system uses it rather than the default display.
Specifying Templates Using Hidden Inputs
Your library can specify a patron template using a hidden input type on your selfreg.html form. To do so, add or uncomment the following:
<input type="hidden" name="TemplateName" value="YOUR VALUE">
Replace YOUR VALUE with the template name. Note that the SELFREG_TEMPLATE Web option can override this setting, and a template specified in a fully-qualified /selfreg command link overrides both the SELFREG_TEMPLATE Web option and the hidden input setting. For more information, see Patron Self-registration Templates.
This form accepts the following tokens:
| Token | Description |
|---|---|
| <!--{toplogo}--> | The system replaces this token with the <HTML> and <BODY> tags that begin an HTML page and displays the HTML defined in the TOPLOGO Web option. If you do not supply your own <HTML> and <BODY> tags, this token must be the first line in the selfreg.html file. |

NOTE
The WebPAC does not validate information entered on this form except to confirm that the email address field contains a '@' character if the field is not otherwise empty. Your organization can include validation JavaScripts, as needed. Innovative Interfaces does not provide assistance with writing JavaScript.
You can create separate custom forms for each combination of template, scope, and language by using the following naming convention:
selfreg_template_s#_lang.html
| template | The template to use for the form. |
| s# | The scope. |
| lang | The language code (e.g., spi for Spanish, frc for French). |
For a current example of this form, see the appropriate example set in WebPAC Example Sets and Photoshop Files on CSDirect.
