---- Reported by nahuel.angelinetti@biblibre.com 2008-12-10 07:09:07 ---- When you try to add a patron that already exists, the check is done, BUT it's not showed and the borrower is added. Other problem, is the check is done with the birthdate but, it's not a required field, so if it's empty, but in the database the birthdate is set for the duplicate patron, it never found it. The date must be checked only if one is specified. ---- Additional Comments From nahuel.angelinetti@biblibre.com 2008-12-10 08:12:03 ---- Created an attachment bugfix for HEAD ---- Additional Comments From nahuel.angelinetti@biblibre.com 2008-12-10 08:13:51 ---- Created an attachment bugfix for 3.0.x ---- Additional Comments From nahuel.angelinetti@biblibre.com 2008-12-10 08:29:24 ---- Created an attachment replace previous for 3.0.x ---- Additional Comments From gmcharlt@gmail.com 2008-12-29 11:56:23 ---- Patch pushed to 3.1. Please test and close. ---- Additional Comments From rch@liblime.com 2009-05-19 20:29:27 ---- The patch pushed to head inappropriately prevents two people with the same name from existing in the same Koha installation. As pointed out in code comments around this bit of code, you can't require a test against fields that aren't necessarily required (e.g. firstname and dateofbirth). There's some template code that appears to offer an override option (using tmpl var 'answernodouble'), but the script ignores this, and silently fails to add a new member. ---- Additional Comments From arm@hanover.ca 2009-05-21 19:22:50 ---- We have at least two cases where people in our town have the same name even to the same middle initial (in fact there are even 2 sets of my relatives with the same names, and we are not a large clan). Certainly Koha should alert us if we add a new patron with the same name, but it should allow duplicate names to be added - perhaps an "Are you sure? y/n" prompt for staff confirmation. --- Bug imported by chris@bigballofwax.co.nz 2010-05-21 00:57 UTC --- This bug was previously known as _bug_ 2856 at http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2856 Imported an attachment (id=892) Imported an attachment (id=893) Imported an attachment (id=894) Actual time not defined.
