Description Owen Leonard 2017-09-25 14:10:19 UTC
With  PatronSelfRegistrationEmailMustBeUnique set to "Consider" I am unable to submit a change to my patron record via the OPAC because Koha performs the existing-email check on the email in the existing record I'm modifying.

PatronSelfRegistrationEmailMustBeUnique should only apply new registrations.

Bug 19366: Do not block patron's detail update if EmailMustBeUnique

If the pref PatronSelfRegistrationEmailMustBeUnique is set ("consider"),
a patron is not allowed to register with an existing email address.
The existing code is wrong and reject a patron that is updating their
personal details with "This email address already exists in our
database.", even if the patron did not modify their email address.

This is caused by the query we made, we must search for patron with this
email address but who is not the current patron.

Test plan:
- Set PatronSelfRegistrationEmailMustBeUnique to "consider"
- Register a new patron with an existing email address
=> you should not be allowed
- Use a non-existent email address
=> You should be allowed
- Edit your patron details
- Modify some infos
=> Should pass
- Modify your email address with an existing one
=> You should not be allowed to do that
