Our Church uses a Church Member database system called ChurchInfo.  In our Church we track members and regular attenders separately however we do similar things for each group (like track birthdays).  The system out of the box only allows us to report members birthdays.  This is kind of annoying and requires running a "free-text" query to get around.

Recently I got a request from the church secretary (my wife)  to change this behavior.  They wanted to have a drop down box selecting the month and a select box with the Classifications (Member, Regular Attender, etc) on the Query screen so they could easily see what they were doing.

I was able to modify the system pretty easily and wrote up how I did it.   Here is what I did.  It involved modifying a file (QueryView.php) and a few rows within the sytem.
