Can I create a visitor account in "Arrears"?

Prev Next

When we add a Visitor patron from the Nerve Center it creates the accounts with "Advanced" billing - is it possible to create a Visitor account in "Arrears" ?


Visitors are created using the CreateVisitorPatron function in VisitorPatrons.asp. At the start of VisitorPatrons.asp is the following function:

function CreateVisitorPatron( LogonId, Group, LastName, FirstNames, Password )
{
var User = SignUpGlobals.GetPsUser();

User.LogonId = ( null == LogonId ? "" : LogonId );
User.Group = ( null == Group ? "" : Group );
User.LastName = ( null == LastName ? "" : LastName );
User.FirstName = ( null == FirstNames ? "" : FirstNames );
User.Password = ( null == Password ? "" : Password );

// If this throws an exception it will be propagated to the caller.
User.CreateAsVisitor( SignUp.Credentials );

return true;
}

To create Visitor patrons with Arrears billing, modify the function to look like this:

function CreateVisitorPatron( LogonId, Group, LastName, FirstNames, Password )
{
var User = SignUpGlobals.GetPsUser();

User.LogonId = ( null == LogonId ? "" : LogonId );
User.Group = ( null == Group ? "" : Group );
User.LastName = ( null == LastName ? "" : LastName );
User.FirstName = ( null == FirstNames ? "" : FirstNames );
User.Password = ( null == Password ? "" : Password );
User.BillingOption = "Arrears";

// If this throws an exception it will be propagated to the caller.
User.CreateAsVisitor( SignUp.Credentials );

return true;
}
