Hello Everyone,

Has anyone had success in scripting a receipt template so that a patron's 
library card number will print as a scannable barcode? My library used to be 
able to do this for patrons who forgot to bring their physical card and needed 
to use a computer. However, the receipt only prints the full number anymore For 
privacy reasons, we don't want to keep printing the card numbers.

I currently use the Patron Address print template and format it to say the 
following below. The line highlighted in yellow is where we'd tell the code to 
print the barcode, but it unfortunately does not work anymore. I did try 
following this tutorial from the Evergreen Wikipage 
(https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=scratchpad:barcode_font&s[]=barcode<https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=scratchpad:barcode_font&s%5b%5d=barcode>),
 but had the same problem.

<!--
Template for printing a patron address. Fields include:

* first_given_name
* second_given_name
* family_name
* address.street1
* address.street2
* address.city
* address.state
* address.post_code

-->

    {{patron.first_given_name}}
    {{patron.second_given_name}}
    {{patron.family_name}}
<p>
<br>
Library Card Number:  {{patron.card.barcode}}
<br>Barcode: <div style= "font-family: 'Code-Codabar'; font-size: 50px" 
>B{{patron.card.barcode}}D</div>
<p>

New users can use the library computers and are allowed 1 item until they 
receive cards in the mail.
<p>

<div>Today's Date:   {{today | date:'M/d/yyyy'}}</div>

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
