Description Nicole C. Engard 2015-09-18 14:50:15 UTC
When adding patrons in the staff client it checks for duplicates, but when doing self registration it does not.  Self registration should warn of duplication.
Comment 1 Magnus Enger 2015-09-25 07:22:02 UTC
Hm, couldn't that be a privacy problem? If I want to figure out if someone is registered as a user at a library, I could try and register as them and Koha would tell me "yes, that person is already registered here".
Comment 2 Katrin Fischer 2015-09-29 21:53:54 UTC
I agree with Magnuse - we can't show anything to the OPAC user about a duplicate. Maybe what we can do is add a duplicate warning in staff somewhere?
Comment 3 Liz Rea 2016-11-10 02:16:34 UTC
What about "Something has gone wrong, please visit the library for more details" and cite an error code?
Comment 4 Liz Rea 2016-11-10 02:17:25 UTC
(a non-descriptive to-the-user error code that the library would know what it means.)
