Issue Summary
Hi everybody,
German banks use a bank ID to identify banks (similar to IBAN, but only for Germany)...
I added the following lines between (...) to directdebit.module:
<?php
function directdebit_api() {
return array(
(...)
'directdebit_bank_id' =>
array(
'#description' => t("What is the bank's identification code. Ie '100200300'"),
'#title' => t('Bank Identification Code'),
'#required' => TRUE,
'#type' => 'textfield',
),
(...)
);
}
?>maybe it's possible to put this into the module?

#1
How does this field compare to IBAN, BIC and bank clearing code?
#2
The German and Austrian "Bankleitzahl (BLZ)"is used to indentify the Bank where the indivudal Accounts are hold.
In Switzerland and Liechtenstein this is called "Bankenclearing-Nummer (BC-Nr.)". In most other countries this is a part of the normal indivudal account nr.
The BLZ together with the indivdual Bank-Acount Nr. is a part of the International Bank Account Number (IBAN). This replaces the Bankleitzahl and the other country specific solutions. from http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bankleitzahl
But since IBAN is not well known in Germany, its better for a shop also to integrate the old "Bankleitzahl" number.
With the patch above this is well done, perhaps it could be mentioned that this field is country specific. This patch mainly addresses:
- Germany, Austria (both called "Bankleitzahl")
- Switzerland, Liechtenstein (both called "Bankenclearing-Nummer")

Tnx for the elaboration. The field is added to the D6 version.
Will add this to the D5 version shortly. This will provide an upgrade path for users using this field.
#4
Committed to 5.x.-1.x-dev version. Could someone please test this release?
If successful I tag it as 5.x-1.1 to make the upgrade without pains.
