Description Olli-Antti Kivilahti 2015-01-20 14:41:54 UTC
When editing a Patron's messaging preferences or borrower attributes, one cannot save changes because 'userid' is not given as a parameter.

It shouldn't, but the
Check_Userid($newdata{'userid'},$borrowernumber) -check must have it.

AFTER THIS PATCH:
Check_Userid() is not called when modifying or saving partial borrower properties.

Userid is changed using a separate module.

Can you please describe how to reproduce this bug?
Comment 3 Katrin Fischer 2015-01-20 22:41:30 UTC
I don't have time to test this thoroughly, but I can confirm the problem:

If you use the small 'edit' links for a section of the patron record instead of the 'edit' link in the toolbar, you can't save changes - as you get an error message:

The following fields are wrong. Please fix them.

    Username/password already exists.

[PASSED QA] Bug 13602 - Username/password already exists when editing borrower attributes and messaging preferences

When editing a Patron's messaging preferences or borrower attributes, one cannot
save changes because 'userid' is not given as a parameter.

It shouldn't, but the
Check_Userid($newdata{'userid'},$borrowernumber) -check must have it.

REPLICATE THE ISSUE:
1. Find a Borrower.
2. Go to the details-tab.
3. Under "Patron messaging preferences" click edit to edit just the messaging
   preferences.
4. Just save, no need to make any modifications.
5. Observe the error "Username/password already exists"
   This happens to all/most of the sub-forms in the Borrower's Details-view.

AFTER THIS PATCH:
Check_Userid() get the $userid from the new parameters, or if not present, from
the koha.borrowers-table.

TEST FOR REGRESSION:
1. Edit a borrower normally. Notice no errors.
2. Edit a sub-form (Alternate address/Patron messaging preferences). Notice no
   errors.

DISCLAIMER: You are free to steal/rip/modify/hack this patch to your soul's
extent without my permission. As long as it makes to Koha I am happy.

Works as expected.

In my opinion,

  my $userid = $newdata{userid} ? $newdata{userid} : $borrower_data->{userid};

or

  my $userid = $newdata{userid};
  $userid ||= $borrower_data->{userid};

Would have been more readable.
Comment 12 Katrin Fischer 2015-02-02 16:45:21 UTC
Ran into another problem here - if you leave the password/userid empty on creating a new organisation type patron, you get an error message. It should totally be possible to create users with no login or let Koha create the userid automatically. (Filed a new bug 13655)

We could even use the defined-or operator:

my $userid = $newdata->{ userid } // $borrower_data->{ userid };

Pushed to 3.16.x, will be in 3.16.8
Comment 17 Fridolin Somers 2015-04-02 09:33:27 UTC
Depends on Bug 13502 which changed the behavior of Check_Userid with undefined $uid.

Not needed for 3.14.x.

By the way, why check userid when this data is unchanged (not in $newdata because not edited) ?
Also, the flag $NoUpdateLogin manages whether or not the userid can be edited.
